Honest, grounded writing on evidential mediumship and spiritual development from medium, author and teacher Hannah Macintyre. Some posts answer the big questions — what is evidential mediumship, what does spirit really feel like, how do you know you're connecting. Others are companion notes to the Mediumship Matters podcast. Written from the practice, not the theory.


Why Spiritual Integrity Matters More Than Visibility
There's a tide running through online mediumship at the moment, and it's worth naming honestly. Edited highlight reels, names landing one after another, everything that didn't work quietly cut out. Hannah on the cost of the visibility race, what mediumship was actually for, the harm being done to developing mediums, and why she'd rather lose ground than share a clip that doesn't tell the truth.

How Do You Know You're Connecting to Spirit?
Most people begin mediumship waiting for a booming voice or a figure in the corner — and then spend months wondering "what if I'm just making it up?" Drawing on her own years of that exact doubt, Hannah explains why spirit so often feels like your own mind, the "bounce back" sensation she uses to tell genuine impressions from imagination, the real signs you're connecting, and why subtle communication matters more than dramatic experiences.

What Is Evidential Mediumship?
Evidential mediumship is the practice of communicating with the spirit world in a way that provides recognisable proof of a loved one's identity — not vague guidance, but detail specific enough that a sitter can say "that is unquestionably them." Hannah explains what it is, how it differs from a psychic reading, what it actually feels like, why it's never perfect, and whether anyone can learn it.

Where Can I Practise Mediumship Online?
The hardest part of developing mediumship often isn't learning to connect — it's finding somewhere safe to practise. Drawing on years of teaching developing mediums, Hannah looks at why so many online spiritual spaces knock your confidence, what to look for in a supportive community, and why practising from home can feel safer than you'd think. Plus a gentle introduction to Spirit Social, including a free tier to help you find your feet.

Why Different Mediums Pick Up Different Things — and the Radio-Frequency Model of Spirit
Why can two mediums connect to the same loved one and bring through different messages? Answering Tamsin's question, Hannah explains how everything spirit gives us is filtered through the individual medium — and shares a moving story of her grandmother coming through as two different women to two sisters. Plus the radio-frequency model of spirit: why you're like a radio picking up whatever station you're tuned to, and why spirit is always there waiting for you to open the doo

Why Good Mediums Never Feel Good Enough — and Why That's a Sign You're Doing It Right
Why can you give a sitter twenty pieces of accurate evidence, watch them leave happy, and still feel you didn't do enough? Answering Jody's question, Hannah reframes that nagging not-enoughness as the very thing that keeps good mediums good — and admits the mediums most certain they're "good enough" often give the weakest readings. An honest, reassuring episode about self-worth, eureka moments, and forgiving yourself for an impossible job.

Addiction, Self-Forgiveness and Why Spirit Has Never Once Judged You
What do you do when the thing blocking your connection to spirit isn't a lack of skill, but the way you feel about yourself? Answering a listener's question about guilt and addiction, Hannah shares why the spirit world has never once judged her — through every bad choice, every low moment — and why the wall you keep hitting is one you built yourself. A tender, honest episode about self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, and learning to sit with who you've been.
