What happens when mediumship quietly follows you throughout your life, waiting for the moment you’re finally ready to listen?

In this honest, emotional and inspiring episode of Mediumship Matters, Hannah is joined by psychic medium and teacher Leanne Lackie to discuss grief, motherhood, autism, spiritual awakening, mediumship development, teaching, demonstrating, healing, and learning to trust your own voice within spiritual work.

Leanne shares her extraordinary journey from childhood spiritual experiences and losing her father at a young age to becoming a working medium, teacher and creator within the Spirit Social community.

Listen to the Episode

Childhood Spiritual Experiences and Losing Her Father

Leanne explains that spiritual experiences had quietly appeared throughout her life, even as a child.

But everything intensified after the sudden loss of her father when she was just 17 years old.

Following his passing, Leanne became increasingly aware of his presence around her, sensing his energy and connection during deeply emotional moments.

This episode explores:

  • grief and spirit communication

  • childhood psychic experiences

  • losing a parent young

  • sensing spirit presence

  • mediumship awakening through loss

Leanne shares beautifully how mediumship eventually helped her understand that connection with loved ones never truly ends.

Motherhood, Autism and Spiritual Awakening

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Leanne’s honesty about balancing mediumship development alongside family life and motherhood.

During pregnancy with her son, her psychic awareness intensified dramatically, leaving her questioning whether she was psychic or losing her mind.

At the same time, she was navigating the realities of raising a neurodivergent child while supporting her mother through dementia.

The conversation explores:

  • spiritual awakening

  • intuitive overload

  • balancing family and mediumship

  • autism and intuitive connection

  • emotional resilience

  • navigating difficult life periods

It’s a deeply relatable discussion for anyone trying to follow their spiritual path while managing everyday responsibilities.

Mediumship Development and Finding the Right Teachers

Leanne speaks passionately about the importance of development, practice and finding teachers who genuinely inspire you.

After beginning in meditation groups, she eventually trained with respected tutors and immersed herself fully in mediumship development.

But one thing became increasingly important: finding her own voice.

Rather than copying other mediums, Leanne explains why authentic mediumship must come through your own personality, energy and lived experiences.

This episode is full of brilliant insight around:

  • mediumship training

  • developing confidence

  • evidential mediumship

  • building trust with spirit

  • avoiding comparison

  • creating your own style

Teaching, Demonstrating and Spirit Social

Now a teacher herself, Leanne runs development circles and supports students at different stages of their journey.

She shares how much she loves helping people discover their own connection with spirit while creating a safe and encouraging environment for growth.

Alongside teaching, Leanne has also started demonstrating mediumship publicly and reflects honestly on:

  • platform nerves

  • confidence

  • audience energy

  • trusting yourself under pressure

  • balancing evidence with emotion

Her passion for mediumship and spiritual development shines throughout the entire conversation.

The Reality of Spiritual Work

One of the strongest themes throughout this episode is authenticity.

Leanne openly discusses the challenges of:

  • balancing spiritual work with family life

  • overcoming self-doubt

  • dealing with jealousy and comparison

  • finding boundaries

  • managing burnout

  • building confidence slowly over time

Rather than presenting a polished version of spirituality, this episode reminds listeners that mediumship is deeply human, messy and transformational.
