    Stories From My Swampy Cree Reconnection Journey

    In this episode of Spirit School, I'm sharing a few stories from my reconnection journey back to my Swampy Cree culture and my grandmother's traditional territories. Watch on Youtube as this episode is visual https://www.youtube.com/@squamishmedium   This one's a little different, less polished, more story time. I talk about following your "point of intrigue" (a piece of advice that's shaped a lot of my life), how a library trip with my kids led me to a book by a Norway House author, and how a prayer for happier stories led me to a rare, out of print book of Swampy Cree name origins I found, of all places, on eBay. I also pull out my tobacco plants for a very visual teaching about space, growth, and what it means to flourish.   In this episode: Following your "point of intrigue" as a way of navigating life A library trip with my kids and a synchronistic book find My connection to elder historian Flora Beardy and author Louis Bird Praying for joyful Swampy Cree stories, and finding The Wishing Bone Cycles on eBay Reading from the book's chapter on personal name origins A teaching from propagating my sacred tobacco for the first time A call for gifted tobacco seeds (I'm down to my last batch)   This is a visual episode, if you're listening in audio, come find me on YouTube to see the tobacco plants I'm talking about.

    Squamish Medium: The TV Show is Coming!

    After three years of keeping this exciting secret, I'm finally able to share the news. Squamish Medium, my TV show, is premiering September 2 in Cree (Plains) on APTN Languages, and September 14 in English on APTN. In this episode I go back to the beginning: mediumship readings at my kitchen table in 2013, launching this podcast in 2018, opening my in person school in 2023, and everything that led to two Indigenous women approaching me 'out of nowhere' with an idea for a TV show. I share a bit of what filming was really like, what surprised me most about the experience, and why this show matters to me as a mother, an entrepreneur, and an Indigenous woman reconnecting with my culture. 🎬 Watch the trailer and learn more: daniellesearancke.com/squamish-medium-tv-show 📸 Follow the show on Instagram: @squamishmediumtv Thank you for growing with me. This podcast started it all.

    Telepathy, Nonspeaking Autism & the Great Awakening

    This one started as a private exchange and became something I knew I had to share. Eileen Himel came back into my life this year through a lot of synchronicity and divine orchestration. She works with the nonspeaking autistic community using letter boards, and when the Telepathy Tapes came out I became obsessed. So we did an exchange. She got some mentorship, I got to pick her brain. And then I asked if I could record it. I want to have her back for a full interview once you have had a chance to listen and send me your questions. For now, here is our conversation exactly as it happened. Go listen to Season 1 of the Telepathy Tapes before or after this episode. Then come back and tell me what you think.

    The Heart Chakra and Mediumship: Integration, Grief, and the Ethics of This Work

    Part four of the chakra and mediumship series and the one I have been sitting with the longest. The heart is the bridge chakra. Everything you did in root, sacral, and solar plexus has to integrate here before it can become service. In this video I share what happened to my mediumship in 2020 when I experienced real grief for the first time and could not do readings for months. I also talk about why ethics and integrity are not the same thing and why both of them live here in the heart. If you work with people in grief, if you are a developing medium, or if you have ever felt fractured between what you know to be right and what you are actually doing, this one is for you.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Declaration, ethics certification for practitioners in unregulated spaces: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-declaration  Root Chakra and Mediumship: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-development-journal/root-chakra-mediumship-belonging-humiliation-dignity  Sacral Chakra and Mediumship: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-development-journal/sacral-chakra-mediumship-clairsentience-energy-boundaries  Solar Plexus Chakra and Mediumship: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-development-journal/solar-plexus-chakra-mediumship-confidence-authority    LINKS: Spirit School Collective: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spiritschoolcollective  Free Spiritual Development Resources: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spiritual-development-resources  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squamishmedium/    #HeartChakra #MediumshipDevelopment #ChakrasAndMediumship #SpiritSchool #SquamishMedium #Grief #MediumshipEthics #IndigenousMedium #SpiritualDevelopment #EnergyCenters

    I Am a Medium Today Because of Sylvia Browne

    All Podcasts are now Youtube Videos I am sharing the origin story of how I became a medium and it starts with a latchkey kid coming home from school in the 1990s, turning on the TV, and watching Sylvia Browne on Montel Williams for the very first time. Sylvia Browne was my unofficial theology growing up. I had no religion, no framework, just her on Montel every Wednesday. In this episode I talk about what she meant to me as a teenager, the letter to the universe exercise from The Other Side and Back that genuinely changed my life, and what it felt like to reconnect with her clips during the pandemic and see everything through a completely different lens. I cover: How Sylvia sparked a decades long path to mediumship My time with Vancouver Paranormal, EVP recordings, and my first passport trip to Chillingham Castle The letter to the universe exercise and what happened the moment I finished writing it A balanced look at her legacy: trailblazer and cautionary tale How the ethics and trauma informed approach I teach today came directly from what was missing in that era And I want to know: was Sylvia Browne part of your origin story too? Follow @teiganish on Instagram for the Sylvia Browne clips I reference in this episode. The t-shirt I am wearing is from him too and shirts will be available later this year.

    The Unseen Helpers Guiding Your Life Right Now

    If you knew who surrounded you, you would never be afraid. In this episode I unpack what that actually means. I share how I developed my faith in spirit guides, the moment that faith completely shattered, and what restored it in the span of thirty seconds through undeniable experiences that make this path worth it all. I talk about the different realms of unseen helpers, guides, ancestors, inspirers, and the God realm I am still building toward, and what happened at my retreat this year when my guides asked me to introduce them to the room and assured me magic. I also share the story of Leonard George of Tsleil-Waututh Nation, an elder who showed up on the edge of my bed at my first retreat in 2023 with two messages that changed the direction of my work entirely. Save the date. September 14th. This story is not finished yet. I close with Leonard's most beloved story, The Rising of the Spirit. The last four words will stay with you. If this topic is landing for you, all of July inside the Spirit School Collective is dedicated to guides. https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spiritschoolcollective

    The Creator Never Puts a Dream in Your Heart You Cannot Fulfill

    The Creator Never Puts a Dream in Your Heart You Cannot Fulfill See pictures with the stories here: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-development-journal/a-message-to-the-youth-the-creator-never-puts-a-dream-in-your-heart-you-cannot-fulfill  For the first time in as long as I can remember, I do not have a dream I am chasing. So I went looking backward instead of forward. In this episode I trace my actual path. My first dream of becoming a teacher at seventeen. The mentors who saw something in me I could not see in myself. My years in motorsports. The decade at the First Nations Health Authority where I became a mother, a medium, and a confident woman all at once. The keynote I recently gave to a youth summit in Squamish. And what it felt like to realize, twenty six years later, that my original dream had already come true. I close with a poem from The Wishing Bone Cycle, a Swampy Cree creation story I have come to love.
