    The Medicine of Vulnerability in Mediumship

    We are almost at the end of the first season of the Squamish Medium on APTN, and watching it has cracked something open for me that I wanted to talk about out loud. Vulnerability. The kind that runs through every reading, every development class, every moment someone cries in a session and apologises for it. The kind that makes mediumship one of the most humbling and healing things I have ever done. In this episode I talk about what it was like to watch my own readings on TV for the first time, what I witnessed at Stó:lō Nation in episode eight and the healing that is still rippling out from it over a year later, why I think saying I love you is one of the most underrated evidential gifts spirit can give, what actually happened when I tried to stop crying in sessions and why I will never do that again, and a YouTube comment left on episode one that reminded me exactly why I have been doing this for thirteen years. I also share that I am doing a group reading in Squamish on December 6th and a live workshop in North Vancouver in February. Details on my website.

    The Winter That Changed Everything with Asha Frost

    I have wanted to share this story for months and I finally got to tell it, with the person I trust most to hold it. Asha Frost is an Indigenous healer, author, and one of my oldest friends in this work. She is back on Spirit School for the third time, and this time we went somewhere we have never gone before. I share the story of the 2026 rupture. The rent increase I opened on a plane to New Zealand. The four months that followed. Losing 30 pounds. The moment on the floor when my cleaner knocked on the door and I finally broke open. The phone call to my husband where I said for the first time: I cannot do this alone anymore. Asha just released her new book The Inner Winter, a compassionate guide for anyone navigating burnout, chronic illness, grief, or the need to slow down. She wrote it from inside her own deepest winter, and this conversation is the best possible companion to it. If you have been in your own winter lately, or you are trying to understand why you cannot just push through, this one is for you. Pre-order Asha's book here: https://ashafrost.com/the-inner-winter/

    Honouring the Shadow: Religious Trauma, Worthiness and the Angels with Gracie Navarro

    This month in the Spirit School Collective, we’re honouring the shadow. In this episode, I sit down with one of my favourite people, Gracie Navarro of Graceful Healing. Gracie is a spiritual guide, medium, healer and longtime student of mine. She shares what it was like to grow up in the Jehovah’s Witness faith, believing all spirit was bad and that she would never be worthy of God’s love. This is a tender, honest conversation about finding your way back to your own truth without disrespecting the people you love. Gracie shares how she rebuilt her relationship with Creator on her own terms. She also tells some breathtaking stories of angelic intervention, from a truck rolling down a hill to an operating room full of angels. In this episode: Gracie’s earliest experiences with spirit, and what happened when she was told her “imaginary friends” weren’t real How fear-based teachings shaped her sense of worthiness, her relationships and her voice Harmonizing old beliefs instead of throwing everything away, and why she refuses to be “bottle-fed” any teaching Marrying into an Indigenous family and seeing religion’s impact on families through a new lens Meeting her guardian angel and recognizing Archangel Michael’s protection throughout her life Why beliefs are so powerful, and what’s the harm in believing in your spirit helpers Connect with Gracie: Instagram: @gracefulhealing_9 Website: gracefulhealing.me Facebook: search “Graceful Healing” to request to join her private group Gracie offers soul and spirit guidance readings, virtual and in-person healing sessions, and in-person women’s circles. Want to go deeper? Gracie and I are continuing this conversation live in the Spirit School Collective next week. all my offerings are on www.daniellesearancke.com

    Mediumship Capacity, Evidence vs. Messages, and What Filming a TV Show Taught Me

    Recorded three days before my Squamish Medium TV show premieres on APTN, I'm answering six questions that came in from you, my Instagram followers and Spirit School Collective members, about the filming experience and my path in mediumship. I get into what it was like channelling in front of cameras and a crew, whether abilities like mine fade or change over time, my advice for anyone on a spiritual path, and how my thinking on messages versus evidence has evolved. I also share how many intuitives I've mentored since 2017 and what's coming up next, including The Initiation, Spirit Speaks, and where to watch the show.   https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-initiation Register: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spirit-school-store/p/initiation-fall-2026  Spirit Speaks (North Vancouver, November 14 to 15) https://www.daniellesearancke.com/vancouver-mediumship-workshop  Spirit School Collective Join: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spiritschoolcollective  Free community space: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/freespiritschoolcommunity  Reading Waitlist https://spirit-school.myflodesk.com/danielle-waitlist  Spirit School Podcast Main page: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spiritschoolpodcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/spirit-school/id1447766702 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4w4i78Sb6jsEZw5MyhJgXT  \ Other Private sessions with Danielle: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/danielle-searancke Events calendar: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spirit-school-events

    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.

    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.
