In this episode, Danielle returns to Spirit School after a season of filming and welcomes a new co-host. Together, they explore what it means to serve with integrity across spiritual work, business, and everyday life, offering real stories, practical reflections, and invitations for your own practice.
• Meet the co-host: how Danielle and Danielle Baker first connected, and why shared values and accountability matter on the mic
• Integrity in the spiritual space: boundaries in client care, energetic capacity, and separating mentoring from mediumship
• People pleasing, energy sickness, and prioritizing health to sustain spiritual service
• Consent and need: why gift certificates can misfire, and how readiness can shape better readings
• Bypassing versus responsibility: intention as the compass, and owning choices and consequences
• Parenting and business parallels: transparency, self-responsibility, and modelling integrity in everyday roles
• Cultural teachings and spiritual maturity: decolonized transparency, lateral kindness, and accountability when repair is possible
Listeners' reflection: how do you recognize when you're in integrity, and what helps you course correct?

Surrounded by Creatives: How Emotional Support Became Medicine
This episode of Spirit School is a little different. It is raw, unedited, and straight from my heart. After a summer of filming, I have been reflecting on the surprising ways my nervous system has healed and how being surrounded by a team of supportive, passionate creatives became medicine for my spirit.
I share:
• How clairsentience and nervous system sensitivity show up in mediumship
• The hidden costs of spiritual work on our energy and health
• Why holding space for others can tax us more than we realize
• The radical shift I felt from letting go of control and scaling back my business
• How being with a crew of artists, storytellers, and creatives repaired my nervous system in ways I never expected
• A powerful “before and after” moment that changed how I see love, support, and belonging
Whether you are a medium, healer, or simply someone navigating burnout, my hope is that these reflections give you both comfort and inspiration. Sometimes healing does not come from solitude. It comes from being seen, supported, and surrounded by others who bring out the best in us.

The Raw Truth About Change, Fear, Courage, and Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be
In this deeply personal episode of Spirit School, I share what it’s really like to walk through massive life change while staying spiritually grounded. This is the messy, tender, transformative part of the journey we don’t often talk about.
I reflect on the signs Spirit gives us before change arrives, the discomfort that often pushes us forward, and what it feels like to be in the void - the space between who we were and who we’re becoming. I also share stories I’ve never told before about stage fright, quitting my job, self-sabotage, and finally choosing courage over comfort.
This episode includes a soft update on a life-changing experience I’m currently navigating. I’ll be sharing more when the time is right, but for now, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone in your own season of transition.
If you’ve been struggling to stay centered while everything shifts, this one is for you.
In this episode, I talk about:
• The early signs of change (and why we often resist them)
• What the void really is and how to move through it
• My personal relationship with fear, visibility, and self-sabotage
• The importance of spiritual tools that actually work when you’re overwhelmed
• Why it’s okay to take up space even when it feels unfamiliar
• A soft announcement about what’s unfolding this summer
Want to follow this journey in real time?
Come join me inside the Spirit School Collective with our new limited-time Seasonal Pass.
You’ll receive exclusive weekly updates, behind-the-scenes reflections, group readings, and live teachings that support you during times of big spiritual and personal growth.
If this episode resonated with you, I’d love if you left a review or shared it with someone else walking through change. We grow stronger when we walk together.

Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should: Mediumship, Capacity & Ethical Service
In this episode of Spirit School, I’m answering a beautiful question from listener Jackie, who asked how I sustain my energy as a medium -especially as a working mom starting her own animal communication business.
I share the real behind-the-scenes of what it’s looked like to serve Spirit for 12+ years while raising a family, navigating burnout, recovering from an audit, and building a business rooted in ethics and capacity - not just hustle.
You’ll hear me reflect on:
The difference between what I can do and what I should do
My energetic boundaries and why I rarely book more than 4–6 readings a week
How I use my calendar as a psychic tool to know when I should and shouldn’t work
The role of compassion fatigue and spiritual integrity in my decisions
How I’ve diversified my work beyond readings to honour my own sustainability
If you’ve ever asked yourself “How much can I really hold?”—this one’s for you.
