Mediumship Matters with Hannah Macintyre

In this episode of Mediumship Matters, I’m joined by evidential medium, energy healer and Spirit Social creator Karen L for one of those conversations that quietly gets under your skin.

Karen shares her journey from corporate burnout and chronic illness to choosing mediumship as a conscious path – not a gift she was born with, but a skill she committed to developing. We talk honestly about fibromyalgia, healing the nervous system, ethics in mediumship, and why personal development makes up far more of this work than people realise.

We also explore what mediumship actually feels like when it’s working, how trust replaces fear, why boundaries matter so deeply, and the moment Karen realised: no one is coming to save you – and that’s where the power is.

If you’ve ever wondered whether this path is calling you, questioned your own sensitivity, or needed permission to trust yourself a little more… this one’s for you.

In this episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah is joined by Jackie Murrell — a UK-born medium now living in Australia — for a heartfelt, funny, and deeply validating conversation about sensitivity, self-trust, and the winding path of spiritual development.

Jackie shares how her early exposure to Spiritualism began as a child, quietly tagging along with her aunt and uncle to Spiritualist churches (and happily doing the washing up!), and how those early experiences became the foundations of a lifelong connection to spirit. She talks openly about losing her mum at 15, the complicated nature of grief, and what it’s like when spirit connection doesn’t show up in the way you expect — until it suddenly does in a moment that changes everything.

Together, Hannah and Jackie explore evidential mediumship, spirit guides, and the reality of finding your voice as a sensitive person — including Jackie’s powerful stories of seeing spirit and aura, navigating self-doubt, and stepping (reluctantly!) into teaching when spirit made it clear she was ready. Jackie also shares the beautifully natural way she works with spirit in her classes: trusting what’s needed in the moment, allowing students’ loved ones to step forward, and letting the evidence unfold.

There are plenty of laughs, goosebump moments, and a reminder that what once felt like a weakness can become your greatest strength when you learn to work with it, not against it.

In this vibrant, honest, and inspiring episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah sits down with Fran Willoughby — coach, Reiki healer, medium-in-training, dancer, and all-round Mojo Motivator — for a heart-opening conversation about energy, alignment, and rediscovering your spark.

Fran shares the extraordinary story behind The Mojo Motivator: how loss, creativity, and a lifetime of “giving people energy” led her from musical theatre and corporate life into coaching, healing, and mediumship. With warmth and humour, she talks about finding peace after grief, the importance of truth-telling, and the power of remembering what lights you up.

Together, Hannah and Fran explore what “mojo” really means — not just confidence or motivation, but that deep inner alignment that brings peace and purpose. They discuss trusting intuition, healing through honesty, and learning to surrender to the unknown (with a few laughs along the way). Fran also opens up about her development journey as a medium, the overlap between coaching and energy work, and what’s next for her as she steps further into her spiritual calling.

✨ A joyful, grounded, and empowering chat that reminds us all: you can’t lose your mojo — you just have to remember where you left it.

In this uplifting and deeply inspiring episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah sits down with the brilliant and big-hearted Leanne Lackie — psychic medium, teacher, and the woman behind Dundee’s beloved “Spooky Hut.”

Celebrating her 10-year mediumship anniversary, Leanne shares her extraordinary journey: from early childhood experiences, the devastating loss of her father at 17, and the spiritual awakening that followed — to navigating motherhood, caring responsibilities, and carving out a thriving mediumship career on her own terms.
Leanne opens up about balancing family life with spiritual development, the determination it takes to keep growing, and how online circles during lockdown helped transform her from hobbyist to professional. She chats about building her teaching community, running development circles, supporting students, and finding her own voice in a world full of spiritual noise.

Together, Hannah and Leanne dive into the realities of platform mediumship, pushing through nerves, handling jealousy, setting boundaries, and staying grounded while still celebrating the magic and wonder of spirit. Leanne also shares her dreams for 2026 — from more demonstrations and trance work to building her website, expanding her offerings, and bringing her healing abilities forward in a whole new way.

✨ A warm, funny, energising conversation with a medium whose passion, honesty, and “whoosh” energy light up every room she enters.

In this gorgeous episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah is joined once again by the wonderfully soothing Emily Barnard of Emily & Her Stars for a conversation that feels like a warm cup of tea for your nervous system.

Emily returns with a whole new chapter of creativity and cosmic insight — sharing the “side quests” Spirit has led her on since her first appearance, including her now-legendary dollhouse renovation (which has evolved into a witchy community complete with a reading room… and a ghost in the attic!). They dive into Emily’s love of spiritual history rabbit holes, reclaiming witch iconography, and why understanding the roots of symbolism matters when we’re re-owning it in modern ways.

Hannah and Emily also explore Emily’s beautiful new creative work: sacred objects and altar-inspired pieces infused with intention, ancestry, and story — including how vintage linens and found materials seem to “choose” their next journey. It’s a heartfelt discussion about claiming creativity again, the vulnerability of being seen, and the spiritual truth that creating can be a form of meditation and channelling all on its own.

They chat astrology (including what’s coming in 2026 and beyond), the evolving landscape of the Akashic Records, and the idea that spiritual growth isn’t a straight line — it’s often a return to who you were before the world told you who to be.

✨ A magical, funny, and deeply nourishing episode about creativity, consciousness, and learning to play with Spirit again.
