In the final interview of Mediumship Matters Season 7, Hannah Macintyre sits down with the radiant Glenda Marie — an Australian psychic medium, healer and hypnotherapist known for her grounded, compassionate approach to spirit work.
Glenda shares her extraordinary journey from growing up in a Bosnian-Australian family of psychics and healers to becoming an evidential medium helping others find comfort, clarity, and connection. With honesty and humour, she talks about how grief reshaped her gift, the importance of mentorship, and the spiritual lessons learned along the way.
Together, Hannah and Glenda explore:
💫 Mediumship through grief and loss
💫 Working ethically and evidentially with spirit
💫 The reality of developing your gift (and trusting yourself)
💫 Money, boundaries & heart-led business practices
💫 Why laughter is essential in healing
And they wrap up with a Spirit Speed Round — Glenda’s quick-fire answers on coffee vs tea, her favourite signs from spirit, and the song that lifts her vibration every time!
A heartfelt and empowering conversation that beautifully rounds off the interview series for Season 7.

In this powerful solo episode, Hannah opens up about the launch of her brand-new book Spiritual Slaps: Volume One – Beginnings and dives straight into some of the most emotional and thought-provoking listener questions yet.
She explores the deeply sensitive topic of suicide from a spiritual perspective, sharing her honest reflections on pre-birth plans, free will, and what happens to the soul after passing — offering comfort and compassion for anyone navigating grief or loss.
Hannah also discusses why spirit connection can feel easy for some and unreachable for others, what analytical minds can teach us about mediumship, and the vulnerability that comes with walking this path. With her usual humour and honesty, she answers listener stories about disappointing readings, blocked “third eyes,” and the reality of practicing mediumship in an imperfect world.
✨ A raw, real, and reassuring listen for anyone developing spiritually — or just trying to make sense of life’s hardest moments.

In this illuminating and heartfelt episode, Hannah chats with Canadian psychic medium, spiritualist minister, and teacher Courtney Dawson about her lifelong connection with spirit and her mission to bring ethics, integrity, and heart back to modern mediumship.
Courtney shares her extraordinary story of seeing spirit from the age of two, how a life-changing parking-lot message led her to embrace her calling, and what she’s learned through years of service in spiritualist churches and development circles. Together, Hannah and Courtney dive into the real work behind mediumship — from surrender and self-healing to setting boundaries and dismantling fear — all while laughing their way through stories of spirit encounters and human moments alike.
They also explore the importance of ethical practice, the problem of “fast-tracked” development online, and why genuine mediumship is about healing, evidence, and service, not performance or prediction.
✨ A must-listen for anyone curious about evidential mediumship, spiritualist values, or finding authenticity in their spiritual work.

In this heartfelt and funny conversation, Hannah chats with evidential medium, Reiki practitioner, and grief educator-in-training Jennifer Jeska about her incredible spiritual journey — from hairstylist to professional medium.
Jennifer shares the full-circle story of how her dad in spirit first reached out through another medium, the retreat that changed everything, and the often messy, magical process of stepping into mediumship. Together, they explore the highs and lows of developing with spirit, facing fear, dealing with sceptics (and surprise fan mail about “the occult”), and learning to embrace risk and imperfection.
Jennifer also opens up about her love for evidential mediumship, her upcoming grief education work, and how she’s bringing all her passions — from hairdressing to healing — under one roof.
✨ A grounded, inspiring chat for anyone on their own spiritual path or considering taking the leap into a soul-led life.

Here’s a role-reversal special: friend and fellow medium Bill Hughes takes the host chair to interview me about the real human behind “Hannah Medium.” We chat chaotic mornings, coffee, red wine and chocolate, quick-fire faves, and why a Facebook Live full of nonsense lit the fuse for Mediumship Matters. We celebrate hitting 500,000 downloads, talk frankly about ethics, guests, AI-generated pitches, and why this season felt heavier. I share where I’m at with Season 8, the evolution of Spirit Social, and my new Made Simple mini-books. We also get into what keeps me obsessed with the mechanics of mediumship, why students inspire me daily, and how returning to my autobiography helped me remember the magic. Plus: dreams for a one-night Spirit Social showcase, and details on January’s seaside spiritual retreat for beginners and beyond. Honest, sweary in places, and very us.

In this episode, I hand the mic over to my Gateway students and let them grill me with their questions! We cover everything from my family’s views on mediumship, to whether fortune-telling is real, to the highs and lows of demonstrating live on stage. I open up about parenting while building a spiritual career, my husband’s journey from scepticism to belief, and the tricky balance of following spirit’s guidance in business when social media keeps changing the rules.
You’ll also hear my thoughts on law of attraction vs soul contracts, whether childhood experiences make someone a “better” medium, and some of the most exhilarating (and challenging) demonstrations I’ve ever done. Plus, you’ll get to know me a little more personally with light-hearted questions about music, Mastermind topics, and even what my kids think of my “weird stuff.”
It’s a fun, honest, and wide-ranging conversation that shows the real behind-the-scenes of life as a medium and teacher.

This week’s listener Q&A dives into some of the biggest (and trickiest) questions in mediumship. Do we really need protection? What’s the difference between psychic and mediumship info? Why do those magical early spirit experiences often stop? And how on earth do you carry on after a reading “fails”?
I share my unfiltered thoughts on:
✨ Protection practices that actually work (and why most of it is about humans, not spirit).
✨ Opening, closing, and why connection is simpler than you think.
✨ My “directional arrow” trick for telling psychic apart from mediumship.
✨ Why your busy mind might be your best asset for connecting with spirit.
✨ Navigating tough sitters, failed readings, and evidence that feels too heavy to share.
Packed with real talk, practical tips, and permission to stop beating yourself up — this is an episode every developing medium needs to hear.

In this episode I’m catching up on listener questions — and we’re diving into some big topics. From orbs (dust or spirit?), to whether guides are actually your higher self, to how to flex your psychic muscles without overcomplicating things, this one’s packed with practical tips and no-nonsense teaching.
I also share honestly about the times when your spiritual mojo vanishes — those moments you feel like you can’t do mediumship anymore. Why it happens, how to navigate it, and why the only way back is often the hardest one: climbing back on the pony.
Plus, a few tangents on Spirit Social, autumn magic, and why honesty in teaching matters more than ever.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself, wondered what the hell orbs are, or wanted a fresh way to practice psychic skills, this episode’s for you.

This week I’m wading back into the thorny topic of names in mediumship — and wow, what an energetic storm it’s stirred up. From showboating mediums declaring “I always get names” to TikTok takedowns and fraud rumours, the noise has been deafening. But underneath it all lies a bigger question: what really matters in a sitting?
I share my own frustrations, my imposter syndrome moments, and why I believe evidence is important — but not at the expense of healing and presence. Along the way, I tell the story of two stags in the New Forest (a reminder that spirit’s magic shows up in its own way) and close with a powerful perspective from Jeffrey Marks that just might shift how you see “the name problem” for good.
If you’ve ever wondered whether mediumship is about names, addresses, and dates — or something far deeper — this episode is for you.

In this jam-packed listener Q&A, Hannah dives into the deep and the practical—from what our souls really look like on the other side, to how and why spirits appear around children, to the gritty truth of juggling spiritual development with real-life demands (hello kids, hay fever, and Haribo bribery).
She also unpacks the messy magic of spirit fairs, dream meanings (or lack thereof), and the frustrating limitations of time, money, and motherhood when walking the spiritual path. Expect honesty, empathy, and some serious soul food for developing mediums who are doing the best they can with what they've got.

In this deeply honest solo episode, Hannah pulls back the curtain on one of mediumship’s biggest pressure points: names. Are they the gold standard of evidential mediumship, or just one small part of a much bigger picture? From personal insecurities to public expectations, social media highlights to Spirit Social realness, Hannah shares the vulnerability, frustration, and growth that comes with being a working medium in an often unrealistic industry.
Expect real talk about imposter syndrome, mediumship development, energy filters, and what it actually feels like to not meet someone’s idea of “proof.” If you’ve ever questioned your gifts—or your place in the spiritual world—this episode will resonate.

This week I’m joined by internationally respected medium and teacher Michael Mayo, and we’re diving deep into the mechanics of mediumship, spiritual development, and what it really takes to do this work well.
From his humble beginnings in a massage therapy class to studying with some of the best UK-based mediums (hello, Gordon Smith and Eileen Davies), Michael brings a grounded, practical and evidence-based perspective to the world of mediumship.
In this episode, we talk:
Plus, Michael shares the inspiration behind his book Spirit Speaks, his views on the spiritual TikTok generation, and his incredible experiences with physical mediumship (no hessian sacks required).

S7, Ep 23 – When Spirit Goes Silent
Ever had a moment when it felt like Spirit just… disappeared? In this raw and honest episode, Hannah explores the eerie quiet that sometimes descends in the moments we need spirit the most — during illness, grief, stress, or doubt. She opens up about personal experiences of feeling abandoned by her spirit team, the frustration of unanswered prayers, and the cosmic confusion of asking for signs and receiving nothing. Is it really Spirit who leaves, or is something else at play?
This deeply reflective episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt let down, disconnected, or spiritually "off." You are not alone — and maybe, just maybe, Spirit never left.

This week I’m joined by the fabulous Australian psychic medium Jessica Lynne, and we dive deep into the weird, the wonderful, and the wildly human side of working with spirit.
Jessica shares how her journey began by talking to her Nana’s ashes (yes, really!), what it was like getting sandwich-based symbols in meditation, and the unexpected spiritual awakenings that led her from psychology to psychic mediumship.
We talk:
Oh, and there’s a bonus quickfire round at the end where Jessica reveals her go-to snack, spirit guide theme song, and the one thing she’d banish from the world forever.
