What makes a good medium?

What Makes a Good Medium? Demonstration, One-to-Ones & Healing with Integrity In this open and insightful solo episode, Hannah Macintyre unpacks the qualities that truly make a good medium—both on stage and in one-to-one readings. Reflecting on her recent demonstration and a night watching Tony Stockwell in action, Hannah explores the balance between skill, service, and soul, and how expectations (from mediums and sitters!) shape every spiritual encounter. This episode dives into: The difference between demonstrating and private reading mediumship—and what each requires Why expectations can cloud the experience, and the importance of staying open Spirit communication: how it really works and why mediums can’t control who or what comes through The emotional vulnerability of working publicly with spirit and being willing to be wrong Why kindness, clarity, vocabulary, and presence matter just as much as evidence The importance of creating a healing, supportive space for clients—and for yourself Professional standards, self-awareness, and how the journey of mediumship is really a journey into self This is a must-listen for anyone developing their mediumship—or simply wondering what it takes to do this work with heart and authenticity. 💌 Got a question or insight to share?
