Since 2013, Danielle Searancke, the Squamish Medium, has been doing the real work: mediumship readings, spiritual development, and building one of the most trusted communities in the field from the ground up.
As an Indigenous woman, mountain mama, and practicing medium, Danielle brings an honest and unfiltered look at what this path actually looks like. The highs. The hard lessons. The moments where spirit shows up and changes everything.
Spirit School has grown from kitchen table readings to a thriving global school for developing psychics, mediums, healers, and workers of the light. This podcast is where that teaching comes alive.
Expect real conversations, practical tools, and the kind of soul-deep reflection that reminds you why you started.
Grab a cup of tea. Spirit has something for you today

February Spirit Messages
Hello Spirit School listeners! January was an intense month for me personally. I got sick leading up to the launch of The Initiation and had to push back my mastermind but at the same time, I was expanding my team by two members.
I’ve been working with Spirit to understand my process of manifestation and the Initiation was an amazing experiment. I desired to have 44 people sign up for it and it did not seem like it was going to happen. I didn’t have the energy to do all of the typical marketing strategies so I leaned into trust and the 44th person signed up 10 minutes before the first live call! It was a really cool lesson for me. I’m choosing to highlight the things that went right even though so much went wrong and I hope you’re able to do the same.
The determination that I needed to harness to persevere is very aligned with the messages I received for our Spirit Messages this month!
The highlights from the February Spirit Messages:
- I don’t have the same commitment to my health that I do in my business
- We all have the inner saboteur archetype and being out of integrity is a confidence killer
- All of the small broken commitments compound to erode your trust in yourself
- I made goals in my human life this year to have more fun and learn to stop on ice skates, so I signed up for lessons to follow through on my word
- Spiritual growth and maturity will come from reflecting on the lessons of your experiences
- Honor the duality in the highs and lows of the month
- I feel it will be a powerful month for manifestation once you have completed a cycle
- New beginnings will follow the completed cycle through your awareness of the lesson
- With new opportunities come new challenges and lessons
The spiritual path can be lonely and I created the Spirit School Collective as a space where you can share your journey with one another. It is incredible to witness others and to be witnessed as you expand!

My Personal Development Journey
Happy New Year! This episode is my first recording of 2022, even though the Spirit Messages episode came out on January 2. After crossing the milestone of my second year of podcasting on December 22, I am excited to continue creating episodes when I am inspired!
I received the inspiration to share my personal development story in December, but it didn’t feel aligned to release it until now. In this episode, I am sharing my own personal development journey as well as some tips that you can use for your own.
Some highlights from the episode are:
- My official awakening was after the birth of my daughter in 2013
- I did not believe the many mediums who told me in readings that I could do this work
- The first reading I did scared me because it was my first experience with deep grief
- I grew up watching John Edwards and reading Sylvia Browne
- My first 3 years of development was in circles with the same mentor, meeting only once per month, making it a slow and steady path
- My devotion outside of that was in meditation, sitting in the power and connecting with my guide Skylar for guidance
- When I released the pressure to work for the public and accepted that my soul would let me know when I was ready, I had opportunities come to me
- After the birth of my son, I went full-time and came out of the spiritual closet
- I continued to develop under mentors, take workshops and do practice readings
- My performance anxiety with paid readings
- Spirit ALWAYS shows up
- My next challenge was that all of my clients wanted psychic readings and my Spirit team gave me an evidential psychic reading bootcamp
- Returning to mediumship showed me that it still works after a break
- I realized that my most profound development was from Spirit in the actual sessions
- Knowing your worth helps you achieve your mediumship goals, not the other way around
- So much of the development path is the inner healing work
- The experiences in our everyday life also help us in our development and mediumship references

This episode is from the Spirit School Lecture Series that highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship and quality of life. Today’s episode is a compilation of IGTV clips on the topic of manifestation.
I share how my upbringing and early experiences shaped my relationship to money and dreams and how I was able to shift into a more abundant mindset. I have never studied manifestation, but just like in mediumship, I teach from my own experience and practices. I hope that you are able to take away a few insights to help you feel more abundant in your everyday life!
In this episode, I discuss:
- coming from a lower income family
- how I started out with a broke mindset and recurring debt
- my financially abusive first marriage
- my kind husband has bailed me out and brought a more stable energy
- when my mentor challenged my “I can’t afford it” outlook
- how hiring a cleaner resulted in my income doubling
- healing from my past mistakes and overcoming debt cycles
- spending money on fun and seeing the money come back unexpectedly
- letting go of what doesn’t make you happy
- learning to keep the money I manifested so easily
- how I used to shop to fill the void from my unhappiness at work
- how time freedom is the biggest motivator for me
- shifting out of a worst case scenario outlook to change your vibration
- the importance of recognizing if you have a positive or negative bias
- getting specific on what time freedom or abundance looks like in your life
- making decisions and creating boundaries to support your goals
- how putting a timeline on a manifestation is going to have you tested
- the importance of self acceptance despite external expectations
- replace unhelpful habits with something healthier

I am so excited to share this episode of my interview with my mediumship mentor Dominic Boag! I have been working with him for the past year as my mediumship changed after losing my cat Bender and experiencing grief for the first time. I love to watch Dominic demonstrate and enjoy his cadence as I am sure you will as well.
Dominic first began developing his mediumship in the Spiritualist Church after the loss of his father when he was fourteen years old and was working as a medium at sixteen. He describes his journey as being fairly natural and has allowed it to unfold with the guidance of Spirit.
In this episode we talked about:
- How he first realized that he was able to connect as a medium
- His experience balancing mediumship development as a student in school
- The confidence that comes from learning at a young age
- How his mother came to learn about his abilities and support him
- The shift in Dominic’s mediumship after his vision loss
- Learning to trust Spirit and to release the fear of being wrong
- How my mediumship improved after giving myself time to grieve
- Knowing that Spirit is beside us when we need to experience the human parts of life
- Allowing your own unique mediumship journey to unfold through Spirit instead of comparison
- Dominic gives his tips for developing mediums including to have fun!
It was incredible to have this conversation with Dominic and to share his voice and philosophies with you. I hope you will feel more confident in your own abilities and connection to Spirit having listened to this episode!

I get to sit with the Luscious Hustle once again and discuss the concept of making decisions from DESIRE. This was a word I didn’t always resonate with, or know what to do with, but over the past year I have seen how valuable the inquiry “do I desire this” has been.
We pose the three questions:
- What comes up for you when you hear “Desire”
- When was a time you followed your desire and it didn’t work out?
- When did you follow your desire and it DID work out?
We share our experiences and talk about our upcoming 3-hour masterclass on December 21st called DESIRE
You can save $111 by registering before December 5th! Use code idesiremore

In this episode, I am sharing my journey to confidence in my personal life and mediumship development journey - as they are inseparable. In my experience, finding confidence is an inside job.
In addition to stage fright, I had many experiences that contributed to my lack of confidence and self-worth in childhood. I was told by a teacher that I would never become anything but a drug dealer when I was in grade four. I started smoking and spending time with people who were not moving in a positive direction. I was also bullied so severely that I switched high schools and ended up being home-schooled.
Although school was not a positive environment for me, I have always thrived in my career. I was recruited from a daycare job by a man willing to mentor me in his business. He gave me opportunities to grow with the company, and that was my introduction to the motorsports industry, working with men and excelling in my roles. I transitioned into the Indigenous health and wellness space when I planned on having a baby to have a more aligned lifestyle.
My introduction to the corporate world and female leadership was not a positive one. However, after witnessing an Indigenous woman in her power in a meeting, I asked how I could work for her, and she made it happen. Under her leadership, I was able to build my confidence because she gave me every opportunity to have projects with high visibility and leadership roles. Most of my mediumship mentors appeared to have her level of confidence but, at their core, really did not. I used the skills from my corporate career to work through the wounds and not-enoughness that came up in my mediumship development journey.
Though it is helpful to have mentors and teachers, it is ultimately up to us to do the work to heal our wounds and step into our power. Through healing in my human experience, my confidence in mediumship has expanded from the inside out. What I have learned to embrace is that being confident is a choice.

Part 1: My Journey Through Stage Fright
In this episode, I am sharing my journey with stage fright. I never know when it is going to happen, but still, I show up. Spirit increases my capacity to hold space as my confidence builds, and my purpose is what keeps me going. I know that I am worthy of being heard, and I want you to know that you are too!
Some highlights of my journey through stage fright from the episode:
- I was six the first time I had stage fright and, at the last minute, could not perform in a daycare play we were performing for our parents. After that, I preferred to be behind the scenes!
- Stage fright is a physical experience for me where I break out in hives, activate my nervous system, and become paralyzed.
- Working in Indigenous health and wellness, I gradually was given more visible roles and projects that were getting media attention and awareness.
- I started hosting moon circles with only four people and stopped doing them when I got stage fright in a group of seventeen!
- Podcasting offered a way for me to heal my voice without having eyes on me. I deleted most of the original episodes I recorded, but I spontaneously published the episodes I had saved after a nervous breakdown at work and Spirit School was born!
- I recently had a stage fright experience where I completely shut down while asking John Edwards a question in a live online event.
Part Two: Sara Rose
Sara Rose is a client of 3 years who is part of The Initiation Circle and was one of my first choices for readers to work under my Squamish Medium brand. I challenged her to step out of her comfort zone and record a podcast episode with me on the spot! You will love her peaceful, healing voice and energy.
After years of hiding her true Soul’s expression and experiencing guidance from the Universe in the form of health issues and struggles, Sara was guided back to a spiritually-fulfilled life. She created Femme Path Soul Care, where she offers Soul-Aligned Coaching, Energy Healing, Soul Reading, Chakra Reading and Mediumship. Sara believes that you are your best healer and that everything external is simply to augment what already exists within you. The main focus of her work is to empower you through conscious self-discovery by reconnecting you with the unique imprint that is your pure, essential Soul Expression.
