Spiritual Growth, Letting Go and Trusting Energy Shifts

What happens when something you worked incredibly hard to build suddenly no longer feels right?

And how do you know when it’s time to stop forcing growth and finally let something go?

In this deeply personal and emotional episode of Mediumship Matters, Hannah explores spiritual growth, energetic shifts, manifestation, alignment, teaching, healing journeys, business evolution and the painful process of releasing things that no longer resonate.

From closing the Mediumship Matters School and launching The Gateway to recognising “dead energy,” spiritual expansion and learning to trust uncertain new beginnings, this episode is an incredibly honest conversation about change, courage and personal evolution.

Why Hannah Scrapped the Original Episode

The episode begins with Hannah explaining that this was originally supposed to be an entirely different podcast episode recorded months earlier.

But when she listened back to it, it felt:

• stale

• disconnected

• outdated

• energetically dead

The episode explores:

• energetic shifts

• intuition

• creative flow

• authenticity

• personal growth

• spiritual evolution

Rather than forcing herself to release something that no longer matched her energy, Hannah decided to completely scrap it and start again.

Honestly, it perfectly sets up the entire theme of the episode:growth changes us.

Why Spiritual Growth Changes What Resonates

One of the strongest themes throughout the episode is how spiritual growth naturally changes:

• beliefs

• goals

• projects

• identities

• relationships

• ambitions

The episode explores:

• healing journeys

• expansion

• personal evolution

• consciousness

• manifestation

• spiritual alignment

Hannah reflects on how difficult it can be when something that once felt:

• exciting

• aligned

• purposeful

• expansive

suddenly no longer feels like a match.

And yet that does not mean:

• it was a mistake

• it failed

• it should never have existed

It may simply have completed its purpose.

Honestly, this is such an important conversation for anyone navigating change.

The Shamanic Message Hannah Couldn’t Ignore

Another powerful section explores a message Hannah received years earlier during spiritual work with shamans Lynn Gosney and Bruce Scott.

The episode explores:

• spiritual guidance

• soul purpose

• teaching

• personal growth

• mediumship

• independence

The message was simple but intense:there was a beautiful hot air balloon rising…but only space for one person inside.

Spirit repeatedly showed Hannah that although she desperately wanted:

• collaboration

• shared success

• group expansion

her own path repeatedly pulled her back toward:

• leading independently

• teaching independently

• creating from her own energy

It’s honestly one of the most emotionally revealing moments in the episode.

Closing the Mediumship Matters School

The biggest revelation in the episode centres around Hannah closing the Mediumship Matters School.

The episode explores:

• spiritual business evolution

• energetic mismatches

• teaching

• burnout

• growth

• releasing old structures

Although the school initially felt exciting and expansive, Hannah gradually realised:

• the energy had changed

• the enthusiasm had disappeared

• the project felt heavy

• the momentum had gone

She describes it beautifully as carrying:

“A massive boulder around.”

At first manageable…then increasingly exhausting.

Honestly, every creative person or spiritual entrepreneur will recognise this feeling immediately.

What “No Bounce Back” Energy Means

One of the most fascinating concepts throughout the episode is Hannah describing what she calls:

“No bounce back.”

The episode explores:

• energetic blocks

• manifestation

• intuition

• dead energy

• business growth

• spiritual guidance

Rather than projects naturally:

• growing

• responding

• expanding

• gaining momentum

some things eventually begin feeling:

• flat

• lifeless

• resistant

• energetically finished

Like:

“Throwing a tennis ball that’s run out of bounce.”

It’s such a powerful metaphor for recognising when something has completed its purpose.

Why Letting Go Feels Like Failure

Another hugely important conversation centres around how difficult it is emotionally to release something you worked hard to build.

The episode explores:

• fear of failure

• spiritual business

• personal identity

• manifestation

• emotional attachment

• healing growth

Hannah openly admits that externally, closing the school after one year could easily look like:

• failure

• inconsistency

• giving up

• poor planning

But internally, she knew: holding onto it longer would only create:

• resentment

• exhaustion

• stagnation

It’s such a mature and emotionally intelligent conversation around endings.

Why The Gateway Immediately Felt Different

After closing the school, Hannah launched: The Gateway.

The episode explores:

• energetic alignment

• spiritual teaching

• online communities

• mediumship development

• spiritual growth

• fresh beginnings

Unlike the previous structure, The Gateway felt:

• lighter

• clearer

• energised

• exciting

• expansive again

And interestingly: new people immediately joined.

For Hannah, this became confirmation that the energy had shifted correctly.

It’s such a fascinating example of trusting intuition over logic.

Cutting Back the “Dead Wood”

One of the most beautiful metaphors in the episode comes when spirit compares Hannah’s experience to pruning a buddleia bush.

The episode explores:

• release

• spiritual pruning

• energetic renewal

• transformation

• healing cycles

• personal evolution

Although pruning looks destructive initially:

• branches are removed

• growth disappears

• structure changes completely

the process actually creates:

• stronger growth

• healthier expansion

• fresher energy

• renewed life

Spirit explains that Hannah is essentially:

“Cutting away dead wood.”

Honestly, it’s such a perfect image for healing and growth.

Why The In-Between Stage Feels So Uncomfortable

Another major theme throughout the episode is Hannah openly admitting how uncomfortable uncertainty feels.

The episode explores:

• uncertainty

• spiritual trust

• personal transformation

• energetic shifts

• manifestation

• emotional growth

At the moment of recording, Hannah explains she feels:

• directionless

• uncertain

• emotionally stretched

• unable to fully see what comes next

And yet spirit repeatedly reassures her: the process itself is meaningful.

Honestly, this part of the episode feels incredibly human and relatable.

Why Healing Is Cyclical

One of the deepest conversations in the episode centres around how healing actually works.

The episode explores:

• healing cycles

• emotional growth

• spiritual awakening

• self-awareness

• transformation

• expansion

Rather than healing being:

• linear

• neat

• permanent

• final

Hannah describes healing as:

• cyclical

• repetitive

• layered

• constantly evolving

We:

• create

• expand

• release

• integrate

• begin again

again and again throughout life.

Honestly, it’s one of the most grounded explanations of personal growth in the entire podcast.

Why Spirit Wants Us To Trust Change

Towards the end of the episode, Hannah reflects on how difficult it is for humans to trust:

• endings

• uncertainty

• energetic shifts

• releasing control

The episode explores:

• surrender

• trust

• intuition

• spiritual evolution

• manifestation

• soul growth

But perhaps:

• endings are not failures

• releasing is not weakness

• changing direction is not inconsistency

Perhaps: it is simply growth.

And perhaps the universe really is:

“Always working in your favour.”
