October 11, 2022Declarations to Spirit - They Do Respond
This episode is based on a philosophy that I received from Spirit a couple rounds ago in The Initiation. I remember the world of Spirit coming through so strong and saying, “You need to remind them that we respond to their declarations.” So much of this work is about declarations, and it was an impactful message to deliver.
This kind of inspired speaking feels so much more powerful than a mediumship link to me. There's just something about my spirit waking up when I speak about certain things, even in classes and mentorship sessions. The physical sensations and the emotional sensations that I get to experience every time I teach or record a podcast are so beautiful that I hope everyone in their lives gets to experience it at some point.
I can definitely feel my spirit lifting and raising and expanding every time I speak something that I feel like my soul and my spirit really needs to speak. I believe that sometimes it is a combination of my spirit helpers on the other side inspiring me. In this episode, I share some recent experiences that demonstrate these philosophies.

In this episode:
I used to use all types of modalities and look for signs that I am meant to do this work
There is nothing in my life that makes me feel this way
I didn’t feel it until I was 31 and I know many people never do
It happens more consistently as you continue on your journey and let down your walls
Most of my conversations with Skylar are one way, and occasionally I am gifted a response
I was overwhelmed when he said that I choose, and that Spirit will adjust accordingly
I could have served in corporate because we need lightworkers in all areas of society
One of my students makes digital collages with AI and says AI needs our light
I’m tired of waiting for drastic things to happen before policies are created
I decided in December 2019 to incorporate my business and left my job in February
During that time was the first time no one was booking readings
I remember telling the world of spirit with such conviction, I'm doing it anyways
As soon as I left, I was booked out and had people asking for online mentorship
You may sometimes lean back too much or give too much power away
In times that I was too depleted to use clairsentience and asked for clairaudience
I still prefer clairsentience because it is tangible and evidential for me
I asked for specific dates when I was feeling my deficits and got one in a reading
I learn from you and build my confidence when you share similar experiences
I understand that there are communities that want to keep their knowledge sacred
While being mindful of that, I hope my way of sharing makes people feel seen
A couple weeks ago, I had a rare moment where I felt successful
I realized all that I’ve created from the side of my bed
I was told by my therapist and mentor that I should socialize more
I started thinking in that feeling of success that an office would be good for me
I first had a vision in 2017 of having a space on the waterfront in Squamish
It wasn’t built up yet and the 20 year plan made it seem impossible
Most of my profit goes to client experience and I thought it was out of my budget
I found out that some retail spaces are less than my mastermind payment
The realtor dismissed me and a friend connected me with another one through Instagram
I said to spirit, I trust that if it’s meant to happen, it will happen easily for me
Within an hour, she messaged me with a time to see the space the next day
It hasn’t been listed and is more than my mastermind, but I know it’s my space
My mentor Mavis Pittilla loved to teach spiritual philosophy, my favourite part of development
Before her passing, I called in her mentor Gordon Higginson as an inspirer for teaching
I asked for Mavis to inspire me for the class and it was one of my favourites
In bed, my daughter said, I know what happens in the seventh level of heaven. You reincarnate.
When I thought of the magic of today, I was overwhelmed with joy and support
I recorded a lecture of Mavis in 2015 where she talked about the 7 levels of heaven
I feel that these mediums from the past do listen and support me
Trust that whatever you are ready for will come to you
If you aren’t seeing results, you may need more experience

October 01, 2022October 2022 Spirit Messages
October 2022 Spirit Messages
September has been a big month for Spirit School! We are two weeks into The Initiation, which was my biggest launch so far. In the Spirit School Collective, my trauma informed business coach joined us to have conversations around holding space for grief and managing our energy as lightworkers. We also restructured to allow weekly classes with me to combine teachings, practice and Q+A sessions. They have been very expansive and a reflection of the month of creation I had in September.
I have officially launched the application for my first retreat in the Spirit School Collective! It will be in the forest of British Columbia and there are 32 spots available. If there are spots left after my membership has the opportunity to apply, I will open it up to the waitlist. I am so excited for the opportunity to meet some Spirit School people in person and to have amazing experiences together!
I am also currently seeking a brick and mortar space for Spirit School for a space to work and to also make my dream of having an ethically sourced line of merchandise that I can store and source myself! Spirit School is coming alive and I share these parts of the journey because you have been with me on this journey. Once we step on the development path, we are on a healing path as well, so it’s important to me to share all aspects of the evolution. I feel that I offer an energetic space for people to have their own spiritual experiences, and I strongly believe that Spirit School will be a physical school by spring next year!

In this episode:
When one area of life is going well, another is struggling
Where we need development in mediumship often reflects our personal life
The development path and our human and healing journey are parallel
If you have trouble surrendering to spirit, where in your life do you need to release control?
When you heal your human, you will see the results in your readings
Being out of balance supports our evolution and growth
We don’t look at ourselves as deeply when things are in balance
It is not in everyone’s dharma to be conscious of their spiritual evolution
I teach the zoom out approach in mediumship to see who is giving psychic information
For personal development or conflict, ask to see from the lens of spirit
Sometimes imbalances bring our attention to another neglected area
It’s okay if you feel more pulled to your human than spirituality in this season
In October, we will be pulled to see where we need to focus in the winter
Release judgment because it’s harmful to think everything must be smooth
Alignment has never been an indicator of spiritual evolution
Shifting our interests allows us to be more whole as humans and practitioners
We may go through the whole wheel every year
I want us to stop seeing ourselves in a deficit
Inner narratives will come up to bring epiphanies
The busyness of the mind may be seen as a superpower rather than a detriment
A clear and quiet mind is not accessible to everyone
The people whose teachings we are following did not have social media and smartphones
We are meant to evolve into the next iteration of spiritual beings
There will be new teachers and philosophies, so we need to make space
We are in a time of free will and change in our societies and structures
What are you going to release to bring in new energy?
We can clearly see the mistakes of past generations and decide what’s next
Being able to choose for ourselves is wealth, and a privilege
Think about your choices as contributing to collective wealth
Choose what benefits the greater good, even at the discomfort of us now
It’s time to shift out of individualism out to family, community, to globally
We can stop carrying the past like a badge of honour, starting with our thoughts
The only way to the new life we desire is making the decision to change
Stop buying into societal norms that make you feel you are in a deficit
Go back to traditional teachings that we are always whole and evolving
There’s no going back now and the steps only go up from here
Meditate with the word sovereignty to get your own understanding of it
It’s a time of great knowing and we have been taught not to trust ourselves
We used to trust ourselves and support our communities
Knowing is the purest form of communication with the divine
In spirit communication, it all comes through knowing and filters through the clairs
We have been slowly taught through generations to not trust ourselves
Now we are at the bottom and are building a new foundation on the way up
I always appreciate hearing how these messages align with other people’s forecasts

September 27, 2022Lecture Series: Consistency, Values, and the Contraction Before Expansion IGTV
Lecture Series: Consistency & Values IGTV
The Spirit School Lecture Series highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship, and quality of life. Today’s episode is about consistency, values and recognizing the contraction before expansion in my business. This conversation was originally an Instagram Live video. Instead of doing these on Instagram, I will be going live in my free Spirit School community to answer questions live going forward! .

In this episode:
This has been the hardest year of my life, and it has changed me
I don’t think you can only grow through difficult times but going through them is powerful
I work in seasons and my business structure reflects that
I have never been consistent, even with devotional practices like sitting in the power
Give yourself space and allow consistency to come and go in the seasons of your life
My public mediumship demonstration gave me some clarity on what type of medium I am
I always experience contraction before expansion in my business
The beauty of contrast is a concept that resonated with me from Esther Hicks
I can feel joy in the contracting times because I know the pattern
Nothing in nature blooms all year
Trying to be everything to everyone disrupts the natural rhythms
Some of us learn best through hardship
The astrology for this fall is pointing to some challenging energy
Not everyone will have the same experience in astrological shifts
@emilyandherstars shares the positive and challenging days in her monthly newsletter
I moved through fear to do my first online mediumship demonstration
We all have free will and our personal values dictate our actions
Our actions matter and contribute to the collective
My retreat in April 2023 will have a focus on finding your authentic voice
It will be spacious to allow rest after these past three years
My dream is to have a house on a lake, and the retreat will offer that experience

September 20, 2022Finding Your Purpose with Angels featuring Julie Jancius, The Angel Medium
Finding Your Purpose with Angels featuring Julie Jancius, The Angel Medium
TW: Suicidal ideations, PMDD. Experiences with medication are not provided as medical advice.

I've wanted to talk to today’s guest, Julie Jancius, The Angel Medium,for a long time. I found her podcast quite a few years ago when angels started coming into my awareness for the first time, in my thirties. I came across her podcast, the Angels and Awakening Podcast, and I loved it! It was so refreshing to hear stories of angel encounters that made me feel really seen.

What brought us together for this interview was an episode of her podcast where I learned that she also has PMDD. Hearing her speak openly about it was what inspired me to finally reach out. In this conversation, we talked about our experiences of this condition, in addition to angels, spiritual evolution, and finding your unique purpose!

In this episode:
Julie receives messages from your angels, guides and loved ones in your energy field
She discovered this through an energy healing program
Angels play important roles in our lives but a lot of us don’t tune into them
From a religious perspective, angels are God's energy in a different form, just like our souls
Each angel was created for a role to help humanity in different aspects of life
Julie’s intention is helping other people lift the weight of their lives with angels
Knowing why our soul is here tells us a lot about what we're here to do, create, and be
I was comforted seeing that angels are for everyone of all religions
It’s a big energetic leap to angel energy and it can be overwhelming
Julie’s book teaches you how to get to that high vibrational frequency
The vibration of God, our souls and angels is oneness energy, or unconditional love
Until recently, you were expected to stay in one lane (spiritual modality)
There are prominent teachers causing harm and discouraging people
Energy is the vibrational language of the universe
We have all of the clairs and they come through tuning into energy and oneness
People discover their unique gifts in different modalities through Angel Reiki
The angels said we need to bridge spiritual modalities and human vocations
Do what your soul is calling you to, not the labels or boxes placed on you
Receiving messages along with energy healing activates the mind and physical body
Spiritual awakening shifts your consciousness from your mind to an observer of your thoughts
We need to look at the big picture for consciousness to evolve
Intuitive sessions now are leading people to their spiritual awakening
Focus on people who resonate with your heart instead of judgemental people
I left TikTok because being aware of the world made me lose sight of the mission we’re on
Julie sees that we are just part of a collective shift that will continue for generations
Perfectionism in this work comes from a place of caring for others
Share your abilities and the work you’re doing when you’re ready
When I am on my PMDD hell week, I avoid interactions as much as possible
Her mother had hormonal mood swings that caused turmoil and Julie has PMDD
Julie discovered that she is treatment resistant and medication causes suicidal thoughts
Finding the right combination of hormones and supplements has been a life changer
Happy people like us having suicidal ideations demonstrates how serious it is
Julie’s gynecologist suggested removing all womanly parts as a solution
There’s only one “hallelujah” week in a 28-day PMDD cycle
Healers seem to go through more than the general population
Waiting until you know everything to share will distance you from people starting out
Deep sorrow and hell weeks make you appreciate the good ones more

September 13, 2022The Emotion Code with Lynn Tucknies of Inner Hero Healing
TW: Sexual assault, traumatic birth experience
I have been wanting to share one of my personal healers, Lynn Tucknies of Inner Hero Healing, with you for a long time. I was referred to Lynn through a friend and had sessions for 10 months. I will be resuming weekly sessions and having Lynn work with my son again too! We were waiting until she went full-time into her healing career to do this interview, and the time has come! Since teaching a class on the Emotion Code in the Spirit School Collective, many of my students have had amazing experiences working with Lynn. I am so happy to share her with you through the podcast!

In this episode:
TW: Sexual assault, traumatic birth experiences shared in episode
Dr. Nelson tracked the emotions of patients and where the pain was on the body
Emotions can get trapped and cause emotional and physical discomfort in the body
In the Emotion Code, these are found through muscle testing and cleared
The Body Code takes into account other facets such as the emotional and spirit body
We all have trapped emotions that we are not consciously aware of
Lynn knew there was something deeper when she was doing personal development work
She was intrigued when a friend introduced her to the Emotion Code
Trapped emotions can be inherited from past generations
The evidence is given by determining the age each emotion was trapped
Sessions helped me clear patterns around stage fright and fear of judgement
The change is subtle and the impact can be seen in hindsight
Lynn says it creates your new normal and your prior existence becomes obsolete
The subconscious mind protects you, and this is where emotions are trapped
Nothing's going to come up that is not ready to be released
After it is cleared, you can look back at an event without the negative emotions
Lynn stays joyful knowing the impact on the other side of the pain
Just by having people talk, Lynn can gather information to direct the session
Lynn has healthy boundaries knowing it’s not her energy
Firing my coach led to a feeling of not wanting to be seen that needed to be cleared
Lynn explains that a curse can be as simple as that person thinking something negative
Sessions with Lynn are an act of self care and energetic boundaries for me
She describes entities as negative energies that lower our vibration
Lynn uses her intuition and is moving toward her own intuitive modality or session
She blocked her intuition when she was young because of a frightening experience
This work has helped her become comfortable with her gifts
Her practice began to grow and she became more uncomfortable in her day job
After setting a goal for leaving, Lynn was offered an early retirement package
Corporate jobs give the illusion of safety but you create your own job
The Belief Code is coming and Lynn focuses a lot on mindset coaching
There are a lot of people holding onto worthless and unworthy
Lynn believes the modality can work on those who are neurodivergent
She has also seen dramatic results with kids, including my son
Being open-minded is what makes a good candidate for the Emotion Code

September 01, 2022September 2022 Spirit Messages
I always start the spirit messages with the intention that the spirit world knows who will be tuning in and that I bring at least a phrase or message that resonates with each of those people. For September, the first word that came through was clarity. This ended up being a common thread throughout the whole episode. Themes of identity, awareness and connection will be strong for this month, but it all relies on us finding clarity in what we need to change, and what we desire for the rest of 2022.
There are lots of exciting things happening in Spirit School in September! The Initiation, my 8 Week Mediumship Foundations Experience, starts on the 14th. To support the different ways adults learn, The Initiation includes self study, live classes, a community, and practice sessions!
In the Spirit School Collective, we will be focusing on grief. Penny, one of my students, will be talking about end-of-life doula work and sharing about her practice. Alyssa Pressman, a certified grief counselor, will talk about holding space for grief. There will be time to explore case studies in this session as I feel it is important to understand how to implement this if we are working with the public in this vulnerable work.I will also be starting our new schedule with my Friday classes which will begin with a guided visualization, followed by practice exercises or Q&A sessions. These will offer a variety of experiences and I am excited for the new format!
As always, our free Spirit School community is open and active, offering a space for you to connect with like-minded people in a supportive environment. I look forward to connecting with you! .

In this episode:
My intention is for the world of spirit bring through messages for those who are drawn to listen
The first insight is gaining clarity in September on how we spend our days
We were blessed after the past few years to be busy following the next passion this summer
September will be a time to slow down and find clarity on how to finish the year
Clarity is not always easy and may include experiencing what we don’t like
Through some turmoil, we may find we have been settling in some areas of life
It’s more about clarity on what we desire than making future plans
You may even feel the desire to move if where you are doesn’t resonate
The Third Eye card echoes getting clarity on changes for the rest of the year
Tune into how you feel and familiar patterns that you desire to change
What were the circumstances the last time you felt how you desire to feel now?
Lack of clarity may actually be clarity in itself
The world and spirit are talking to you in every interaction, no matter how mundane
For spiritual evolution, it is the uncomfortable situations that bring the most growth
Reframe these as experiences gifted to us to find clarity
September can be a new year when kids go back to school and new routines are created
You can get clear on what brings you joy if you pay attention to the mundane
Awareness is the second word for September
Spirit is not asking us to take action, but to take stock of our desires
There won’t be time to find clarity during the last 3 months of 2022
We need to release the things we feel chained to out of devotion, especially work
We are uncovering a deeper, holistic sense of identity outside of how we make money
Some of this clarity will be around how we identify ourselves in the world
There is an imbalance of overgiving in our lives
Find clarity on what receiving is for you, whether that is quiet time or social time
Social time may seem more taxing, but gathering in equal exchange is fulfilling
Being forced online for so long has made us lose the depth of humanity in people
The way people present themselves is not always their truest sense
The world could use a lot more compassion, which comes from deep connection
We need to release the story that connecting creates a deficit for us
Fitting in is an illusion since we are each so vastly different
Look for places you feel expanded and like yourself
Document the clarity and joy you receive with pen and paper for when you forget
We think experiences are not worth documenting if they aren’t for social media
We used to fill journal pages with our stories before technology
Even the mundane can be read with fondness later
It's time to start living our lives for ourselves once more
We can be powerful in many different areas of our lives
When we get clear on our identity, deep harmonious friendships come in
Connecting to people may be more of a driving force than abundance
If you feel uncomfortable with the slowness of September, look at that

August 23, 2022Embracing Your Full Self with Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant
Embracing Your Full Self with Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant
I am so excited to share Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant, with you today! I have been a long-time follower and fan of their memes. However, after having a “Clear Expressive Blocks” session, I knew I had to have them on Spirit School!

In this episode, we talk about embracing your authentic self, and different forms of expression. Christian is an artist and writer in addition to being an intuitive. Tactile art mediums like textiles, photography and sculpture have influenced their work. Memes are a way of incorporating poetry and art to remix existing content.

“When we gain the words of description, we also gain access to expression.” - Christian Bradley West

In this episode:
Grief is a form of longing for something, whether it’s a person or a potential future
Even with end-of-life doula training couldn’t prepare Danielle for experiencing grief
Fear, shame and grief are the source of most negative emotions
Having language that resonates for emotions and experiences is validating
Christian shares that the term non-binary fit and being trans is part of that identity
We are emotive beings, yet we learn to suppress instead of explore our emotions
The vocabulary comes from curiosity, and we gain access to expression.
Danielle says it’s her responsibility as a lightworker to educate herself on the spectrum of emotions
Vibes, and positive vibes only, cannot be weaponized against negativity
We have a complex language system as humans and should use it
Communication is key to relationships, so just vibing doesn’t work
Sometimes we need to feel it before we get the language for it
Words are vital but if they're disconnected from emotion, they're just thoughts
As intuitives, sometimes the trickiest part of connecting is expressing through emotion and thought
Emotional intelligence was not talked about, so there are layers of deconditioning to go through
Christian began writing, and found a balance of intuition and intellect in their thirties
Their art showed a struggle with communicating who they were and what they wanted
Christian had trauma from being called too much and not having a filter
As a teen, they found essential oils and metaphysical modalities through a family friend
They moved away from Christianity when those values clashed with holding a non-binary identity
Christian is self taught in art and it was something to do quietly alone and to stay present
Christian was drawn to fashion trends a couple years before they were trends
As an earth sign, being able to touch things is important to their art practice
A science degree and psychology classes also influence the action steps for clients in sessions
You have to look at all the pieces of yourself and explore them
The intuitive sessions are an opportunity to see what humans are struggling with
People want to see the process, so “show your work”
Even Buddha and Christ went through struggles in their humanity
Danielle and Christian also want to change the bypassing of humanity within spiritual spaces
Children aren’t born with fear, so they rely on parents for perspective and a safe environment
Violence is part of the human experience, and we want to survive
Shadow is about being integrated and loving the whole
We all have impulses and physical needs, but sex is not as acceptable
You can choose monogamy and the intimacy that that offers
Christian believes in living on purpose in your choices
Danielle says that people may not see this depth in the memes on Christian’s account
Christian is good at remixing pieces together and chose to have a meme account
When you find your voice, people recognize and resonate with your work
Memes can walk the line between the sacred and the profane
A lot of spiritual labour goes into creating original content
Christian refers to the high tide raising all boats and supporting one another
If you're stealing just for stealing and you're not making your own, that's an issue
Scottish culture was stolen by Britain during the Highland Clearances in the 1800s
A trend like that would last 30 years at that time compared to memes today
There is violence behind stealing from others without acknowledgement
Christian is willing to be self-reflective and have conversations about appropriation
Danielle says that accountability is the change we are striving for
Christian is okay with triggering people if others feel unsafe, but not without reason
Danielle’s favourite meme is “I became my full, authentic self when I realized I was cringe.”
Christian has trauma from being silly and being called names when people were uncomfortable
The process of making great art is messy
Early abstract painters weren’t understood in their time and started with copying the masters
We start out in life with what is right, then we deconstruct and it gets messy
Danielle really feels that Christian embodies their term “spirit guide in a meat suit”
Christian offers relationship readings and feels that we can make them more conscious
All life is about duality and experiencing relationships

August 16, 2022Creating Space for Your Development
I felt that creating space for development would be a fun topic to cover on the podcast. In my free Spirit School community, I posted the question, “For those that are focusing on development while parenting children and/or in full-time careers, what do you do to carve out time and space to commit to your development?” The responses were overwhelming. Over 40 people shared their experiences and advice. I love how engaged this community is already after 6 weeks!

Of course, like any other topic, I will share my own experiences with carving out time for development in this episode. If you would like to get in on the conversation, you are welcome to join the community! If you are interested in making time for mediumship development, registration is now open for The Initiation, my Mediumship Foundations Experience!

We have 8 billion people on this planet and every single one of them can benefit from mediumship, because every single person on this planet will lose someone someday. Mediumship is just one of those things that is for everybody, and everyone resonates with very different things.So, the world of spirit needs us all to be very different. I need you to be okay with how your soul is calling you to develop. And whether you get an hour a day or a minute a day, it will all unfold as it should. And you will end up exactly where you are meant to be. It's all just about what stories you have to share when you get there.

In this episode:
I was blessed to have a year on maternity leave when I began my development
My husband has not always been supportive because he doesn’t understand this path
My first teacher didn’t talk about Sitting in the Power and I didn’t develop through Spiritualism
I would sit with spirit every day for 30 minutes on my bed while my daughter napped
I have a busy mind, so the dedicated practices that are taught in mediumship didn’t work for me
I would often ask my guide Skylar to show me signs of his presence
Sometimes I would ask for things to be validated tomorrow and my accuracy improved over time
My teacher was clairvoyant, so I was really trying to develop my own clairvoyance
A friend once validated that a Spirit named Eddie I connected with was her missing uncle
My relationship with my husband shifted because I started needing more alone time
I have stopped expecting him to take an interest in personal development
It was easy to stick to the 30 minutes with spirit because I had such profound experiences
My mediumship development was limited to 5 hours a month with my teacher
I wish I had been vulnerable to develop in the public eye like some of my peers
I expected a stronger connection during my second pregnancy, but was very sick
I had a near death experience in the ICU and doctors couldn’t agree on the cause
I didn’t keep my consistent practice, but still attended retreats
When I had my son, my life changed and I opened my practice to the public
The only spiritual practice I remember at that time was talking to my guides
Showing up on social media started my personal development around being seen
My development was immersing myself in spiritual content and doing readings
I had one development Saturday and one day to rent a studio for readings a month
A solution for the friction in my marriage was giving my husband time for his own hobby
I went full-time in March 2020 with in-person clients booked and was in lockdown with my kids
Out of 50 clients, only 2 asked for a refund for their sessions and I started online readings
Online influencers talked about consistent routines that were not accessible to me at all
You will always be healing and evolving, but you are whole as you are right now
How you choose to dedicate the time you have to development is enough
The pandemic and working from home has given people more space to fit in development
I consider everything I do in my business and online presence to be my spiritual development
I still carve out time to sit and ask how I desire to connect with myself in this moment
I want to be a teacher that shows you can thrive doing things differently
Tips from Spirit School members:
Developing after kids go to bed, or nap time
Blocking time into your calendar or schedule
Including children in spiritual practices
If you wake up often in the night, meditate in that brain state
Ask your partner to give you time in the evening to connect
Take a few minutes here and there to connect or meditate
Turning your career into spiritual development
I'm okay that I can't be consistent, and I know that spirit doesn't judge me

August 09, 2022Releasing Discouraging Myths in Mediumship
For this episode, I will be talking about myths around mediumship. I wanted to premise this by saying that most of the myths actually came from my Instagram audience. Two weeks ago, I posted the question, "What are some of the myths around mediumship that maybe you once believed, or you still believe, that you just don't feel 100% sure about?" in my stories.

Our experiences and the things we hear formulate our beliefs, but ultimately our beliefs are our choice. I first encountered mediumship by watching Sylvia Brown and John Edwards on TV at the age of 14. I read all of Sylvia Brown’s books in high school and I believed everything she wrote to be the truth without questioning it. There were things I read that scared me, but I wasn’t discerning and I realized through my own development that a lot of it simply wasn’t true.

I am not the holder of the ultimate truth about mediumship either, so I can only share from my lived experience. You may have a physical sensation or knowing when something feels like truth for you. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that I say to be flexible in your beliefs because they will likely shift as you experience more on your path.

This week is the Sitting in the Power (of You!) Challenge in the free Spirit School space and you are welcome to join us!

In this episode:
It is hard for people to see the harm that can be caused if they wouldn’t be offended
Q: You shouldn’t do readings until 6 months after someone passes
Spirit’s ability to communicate and the sitter’s grief are reasons given for why
That became less true as my confidence grew and I connected with people who recently passed
Unclear communication may actually be evidence of their communication in life
The quality of a reading is based on the three way link of spirit, the reader and the sitter
It will be a struggle if the sitter is skeptical and not an open channel for the link
Be open because there are multiple truths that can coexist in harmony at the same time
Q: A common phrase is that all mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums
We tend to believe things blindly until we exposed other philosophies and experiences
I don’t believe that our Creator chooses who has abilities and who doesn’t
Q: Does everyone have the gift of mediumship? Yes!
I believe we are all born with gifts but not everyone develops these abilities
The fact that mediumship is even in your awareness is a sign from your soul
I didn’t jump on the path the first few times it was brought to my awareness
Skeptical people like my husband could develop but that doesn’t mean they will
Q: Can you turn your abilities on and off?
Yes, and there have only been a few times in 9 years that spirit has been pushy
I have a lot of boundaries but there are people who are constantly surrounded by spirit
There is permission granted, so I question what the motive is other than being showy
Q: Thoughts on psychic residue versus haunted location
Though I was a paranormal investigator, I am undecided on my beliefs about earthbound spirits
We validated evidence the medium received, but we didn’t get any paranormal evidence
I’ve been able to feel the energy of a place, like the previous owner of a home who had passed
It wasn’t her stuck there because it was an intelligent, two-way conversation
Aboriginal Medium Sean Leonard, who I highly regard, has EVP evidence and I trust him
Q: My dad believes it's just tricks from the devil
Ask how you feel about a belief and if it improves your quality of life.
We can’t change someone’s beliefs for them
Q: I don’t anymore, but i always believed that mediums identified as spiritual
There is a spectrum of how much of a priority it is and there is a client for everyone
Q: You need to study, practice for years to actually connect with spirit, unless born with it
I believed that you have to pay your dues
The time it took for me to step into the public had nothing to do with my connection to the divine
A large part of our development is healing our human and building confidence
Q: I don't have a loved one I'm trying to connect with so mediumship isn't for me.
There is always someone we can connect to from our lineage
Mediumship is evidential by nature, and can be difficult if the sitter can’t validate
We can bring through what is current in their life, though this could come through psychic too
The need in mediumship is part of the magic of the three way link (Spirit, sitter, reader)
Registration for The Initiation opens August 13 if you are curious and interested in developing

August 02, 2022August 2022 Spirit Messages
Before diving into the August Spirit Messages, I wanted to share a few things that are coming up. August is a big month for Spirit School! I am doing another week-long challenge in my free Spirit School community that will be focused on the mediumship development technique called sitting in the power. I believe that it will benefit anyone on their spiritual or personal development path. This 5-day challenge will take place from August 8-12 with a live teaching and experience each day!

I will also be opening the registration for The Initiation, my Mediumship Development Experience, on August 13th. This program is a combination of live classes, self-study, and practice readings within the community. I don’t do early bird pricing, but I will be providing a discount to the Spirit School Collective, the Initiation waitlist, and participants of the Sitting in the Power challenge!

I can’t believe that we are celebrating TWO years of the Spirit School Collective as of August 1st! This is huge and I feel like it’s just getting started. We will be having The Medicine Lodge, an experience where a few members of the collective put their name forward to demonstrate their gifts for the community. It is a powerful experience that allows us to witness one another. For example, the Reiki practitioners of the Collective will be coming together in this event to offer a group healing!.I will also be teaching a mediumship development class in the Spirit School Collective that will focus on a different area than the other programs, as always!

Finally, I am doing my first public online mediumship demonstration on Tuesday, August 9th! I’ve done them in my mastermind and in the Collective, and now you can join me as well! There should be tickets for the event available, and you may be able to snag one of the last 1:1 mediumship readings left for August. The links for everything I’ve mentioned are below!

For the August Spirit Messages, the phrase spirit has been bringing me is, “It’s time to look up friends.” We have been looking down for so long to survive, but it’s time to start seeing the beauty around us. Darkness has had its time, but it’s time to bring back the light. If you focus on nothing else other than how you perceive the world around you, from the space and lens of the soul space and heart, that is enough. I wish you the absolute most divine, most harmonious month ahead.

In this episode:
The phrase that spirit has been bringing to me is, “It’s time to look up friends”
We have been looking down to manage our energy and survive
It’s time to look to the skies and the animal kingdom, especially the perspective of birds
Spirit is reminding me that hawks were significant in my early development
Instead of taking the role of protectors, what can we learn from other living beings?
We cannot control what has been done, only what in our scope moving forward
One person at a time, we can connect with the animal kingdom and trees to bring harmony back
It’s time to look to the sky, dream bigger and make new commitments to all living beings
We are aware of the problems that persist, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming
The world of spirit is asking us to look beyond, to the beauty and joy that surround us
August is a month to expand our circles and learn to uplift ourselves through darker vibrations
Beyond what we can see with our eyes is what we can see with our heart
Light will win every time, but it is a journey of rediscovering our true essence
Our humanity and spirit bodies can be expressed in balance and harmony
Go inward and see the world with the inner lens of love and joy instead of looking externally
The mind can appear so powerful, but is not as powerful as the heart space
It’s been easy to focus on what’s going wrong but the time to shift is now
The world needs our light now more than ever before
Our happiness will increase in August as we learn to tap into this space
Like a retrograde, we’re doing the work in the shadow period to go direct with new energy
You may hear spirit telling you to look up when you are out, and realize you’re looking down
Spirit wants us to realize our insignificance, as we are not the wisest beings on earth
The wisdom that will come through you in nature will get you excited about life again
We are taking our lives back and choosing what comes next for us, not waiting anymore
The darkness had its time and it’s time to bring the light back
We are easily influenced by our surroundings
By tuning into the highest part of ourselves, we also connect with spirits around us
