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.

What does spirit communication actually feel like, from the inside? Honest answer: nothing like the films. From a working medium, here's what it really feels like to perceive spirit. The subtle stuff most people dismiss, the bit that sounds like your own voice, the feeling of presence, why doubt is part of it, and how to tell the difference between imagination, intuition, and spirit.

Plus a gentle introduction to Spirit Social, including a free tier to help you find your feet.

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
