The Spiritual Beliefs Hannah No Longer Holds

The episode begins with Hannah reflecting on writing her second book and revisiting the early years of her mediumship development.

Looking back forced her to confront something uncomfortable: many beliefs she once taught with absolute certainty no longer feel true to her now.

The episode explores:

• spiritual growth

• changing belief systems

• mediumship development

• self-awareness

• spiritual teaching

• personal evolution

Rather than hiding those shifts, Hannah openly discusses how her understanding of spirit has evolved over time.

It’s a fascinating conversation about what happens when spirituality becomes less rigid and more expansive.

Demons, Entities and Spirit Attachments

One of the biggest topics explored throughout the episode is Hannah’s changing perspective on demons, entities and energetic attachments.

During the early years of her development, Hannah was taught:

• psychic protection

• entity removal

• spirit attachments

• trapped spirits

• energetic clearing

• demonology-style spiritual beliefs

The episode explores:

• fear in spirituality

• energetic experiences

• spirit communication

• psychic perception

• negative energy

• paranormal experiences

Hannah shares experiences involving:

• shadow figures

• energetic sensations

• haunted spaces

• frightening spiritual encounters

• rescue circles

• clearing people and homes

But over time, spirit gradually challenged those beliefs entirely.

Sitting in the Power vs Sitting with Yourself

Another really interesting discussion centres around “sitting in the power,” a traditional spiritualist practice many mediums are taught during development.

Hannah explains that while she once believed expanding her energetic field strengthened mediumship, she now feels the real work is:

• self-awareness

• healing

• emotional clarity

• nervous system regulation

• inner reflection

• self-connection

The episode explores:

• mediumship development

• emotional healing

• self-connection

• intuition

• energetic awareness

• spiritual practice

Rather than trying to become energetically “bigger,” Hannah believes mediumship improves when people become more honest and present with themselves.

It’s a really grounded and thought-provoking shift in perspective.

The Shadow Figure at the End of the Bed

One particularly memorable story involves Hannah seeing what appeared to be a shadow figure standing at the end of her bed while practising energetic expansion exercises.

At the time, she interpreted the experience through the belief system she had been taught:that she had attracted a negative entity by failing to protect herself properly.

The episode explores:

• shadow people

• fear and spirituality

• energetic projection

• psychic experiences

• clairvoyance

• subconscious imagery

Years later, Hannah now questions whether the experience may actually have been:

• fear amplified by expectation

• subconscious imagery

• energetic interpretation

• psychological projection

• symbolic perception

It’s one of the most honest and nuanced conversations around frightening spiritual experiences featured on the podcast.

Why Belief Shapes Spiritual Experience

A major breakthrough in the episode centres around Hannah questioning whether spiritual experiences are deeply shaped by personal belief systems.

The episode explores:

• law of attraction

• energetic frequency

• consciousness

• manifestation

• spiritual perception

• psychic energy

Hannah explains that once spirit told her:

“Demons do not exist.”

her frightening experiences immediately stopped.

Completely.

This led her to question whether:

• fear-based beliefs

• spiritual expectation

• psychic projection

• collective energy

might actually create certain experiences rather than spirit itself.

It’s a genuinely fascinating conversation about consciousness, belief and energetic reality.

Haunted Houses and Psychic Energy

Another fascinating discussion centres around hauntings, spirit boards and paranormal investigations.

Hannah now believes many supposedly “haunted” experiences may involve:

• emotional residue

• psychic energy

• collective expectation

• subconscious projection

• energetic imprinting

rather than evil spirits or trapped souls.

The episode explores:

• haunted houses

• spirit boards

• ghost hunting

• psychic projection

• collective energy

• energetic clearing

Rather than dismissing people’s experiences, Hannah suggests the interpretation itself may sometimes be the issue.

Honestly, it’s one of the most interesting conversations around fear-based spirituality the podcast has ever explored.

Trapped Spirits and Rescue Circles

Another huge shift Hannah discusses is her changing perspective on trapped spirits and “rescue work.”

For years, she believed certain souls needed help moving into the light after death.

Now, she questions:why would the spirit world ever abandon someone in the first place?

The episode explores:

• trapped spirits

• rescue circles

• spirit transition

• life after death

• compassion in spirituality

• spiritual assumptions

Instead, Hannah believes many rescue experiences may actually involve clearing emotional energy left behind rather than rescuing literal trapped souls.

It’s a compassionate and surprisingly philosophical discussion about the afterlife and human interpretation.

The Problem with Rigid Spiritual Rules

One of the strongest themes throughout the episode is Hannah challenging rigid spiritual certainty.

The conversation explores:

• spiritual dogma

• certainty in mediumship

• evolving beliefs

• questioning spirituality

• personal responsibility

• critical thinking

Hannah openly acknowledges that earlier in her career she taught things with certainty that she no longer believes.

Rather than hiding that evolution, she now sees growth and questioning as essential parts of spiritual development.

It’s an incredibly refreshing conversation in a field where certainty is often rewarded.

Law of Attraction and Spiritual Gaslighting

Towards the end of the episode, Hannah also reflects on her changing relationship with law of attraction teachings.

The episode explores:

• manifestation

• affirmations

• healing

• trauma

• self-worth

• emotional blocks

While she still believes mindset and energy matter, Hannah challenges the toxic idea that:

• suffering is always self-created

• positivity fixes everything

• trauma can simply be “thought away”

• people attract all negative experiences themselves

Instead, she explains that genuine healing requires:

• honesty

• emotional integration

• self-awareness

• nervous system work

• reflection

rather than spiritual bypassing.
