And you know, I have to say, I was more a student, but I know a lot of the people that are going to these seances are grieving mothers and fathers and children that have lost their parents. And so it's not just entertainment. It's not just a cool experience. People are seriously looking for their loved ones, and they're being deceived." 11:03 Jeni saw the red flags with this medium for months in several seances and workshops before it finally clicked. 12:29 Normalize being okay with questioning and using your brain. 16:15 How has this experience changed the way Jeni works moving forward within her own mediumship? 19:38 When you're already a bit skeptical. 23:30  "If you're being told what you're going to see, is that what you're going to see?" 26:16 "Is it time to say that from now on, physical mediumship needs to happen with the lights on, no exceptions?" 29:48 The 2016 video. 32:11 When it sounds like someone describing a cult. 33:04 Positive responses to the message is getting out there. 39:55 Let's do physical mediumship differently now. 43:14 Red Flag: When a physical medium's seances are the same every time. 48:54 Clear intimidation from a medium in a mask. 54:36 Patrick's thoughts on individuals enabling this medium, and he commends Jeni for her bravery in speaking out on her own platform, as well as this one. 59:40 Jeni's final thoughts. 1:03:51 Outro 1:06:18 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 1:07:35   For more on Jeni Juranics jenijuranics.com Facebook Instagram YouTube     The Big Seance Podcast can be found right here, on Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeart Radio, and YouTube.
