Sensitivity, Spirit Communication and Finding Your Voice with Jackie Murrell

What happens when the sensitivity you once saw as a weakness becomes your greatest spiritual strength?

In this deeply thoughtful and inspiring episode of Mediumship Matters, Hannah is joined by evidential medium and teacher Jackie Murrell to discuss sensitivity, spiritual development, spirit communication, mediumship, self-awareness, grief, soul growth and learning to trust your connection with spirit.

Originally from the UK and now based in Australia, Jackie shares her extraordinary spiritual journey from childhood spiritualist churches to becoming a working medium, teacher and mentor helping others develop their own connection with spirit.

Childhood Spiritual Experiences and Spiritualist Churches

Jackie explains that spirituality was quietly woven into her childhood through her aunt and uncle, who regularly took her to spiritualist churches and services from a very young age.

At the time, she didn’t fully understand what was happening around her.

She simply remembers:

• the atmosphere

• the quietness

• the connection

• and even helping wash dishes after services

Looking back now, Jackie realises those early experiences became the foundation for the spiritual path she would eventually follow later in life.

Losing Her Mother and Understanding Sensitivity

One of the most emotional parts of this conversation is Jackie’s honesty around losing her mother at just 15 years old.

For many years, Jackie struggled with her sensitivity and emotional awareness, often feeling overwhelmed and unsure why she experienced life so intensely.

Eventually, spirit helped her understand something powerful: what she once believed were weaknesses would later become her greatest strengths.

The episode explores:

• grief and spirit communication

• emotional sensitivity

• soul awareness

• healing after loss

• spiritual awakening

• learning to trust yourself

It’s an incredibly moving reflection on how life experiences shape mediumship development.

Evidential Mediumship and Seeing Spirit

Jackie also shares fascinating early experiences developing mediumship, including seeing spirit energy during church services and becoming increasingly aware of the presence of spirit around her.

One particularly extraordinary experience involved physically seeing a spirit communicator standing within a medium’s aura during a church demonstration.

The conversation explores:

• evidential mediumship

• clairvoyance

• spirit communication

• sensing spirit energy

• mediumship development

• trusting spiritual experiences

Jackie explains beautifully how mediumship gradually became less about fear and more about allowing herself to trust what she naturally sensed.

The Reluctant Teacher

Although Jackie now teaches and mentors others, she openly admits she never originally wanted to become a teacher.

In fact, she describes herself as “the reluctant teacher.”

Shy, sensitive and uncomfortable with attention, Jackie initially resisted public speaking and demonstrating mediumship.

But spirit had other plans.

Over time, she slowly learned to trust herself enough to step forward, eventually discovering that teaching mediumship felt deeply natural and aligned.

The episode explores:

• overcoming fear

• platform confidence

• teaching mediumship

• spiritual development circles

• trusting spirit guidance

• allowing yourself to grow

It’s a reassuring reminder that confidence often develops gradually through experience.

Spirit Communication Beyond Death

One of the most powerful discussions in the episode centres around Jackie’s evolving relationship with her parents in spirit.

While she initially struggled to feel her mother’s presence after her passing, later experiences brought profound healing and understanding.

Jackie also shares how her relationship with her father deepened after his passing in ways that were never fully possible during physical life.

It’s a beautiful exploration of:

• healing relationships through spirit

• soul growth after death

• emotional healing

• continuing bonds with loved ones

• deeper spirit connection

The conversation offers enormous comfort for anyone navigating grief or wondering whether connection with loved ones continues beyond physical death.

Sensitivity as Spiritual Strength

At the heart of this episode is one powerful message: sensitivity is not weakness.

Jackie explains how learning to honour her emotional awareness and intuitive sensitivity completely changed the way she worked with spirit and with people.

Rather than fighting her sensitivity, she learned to allow it.

And that changed everything.
