Leanne Lackie: The Magic, the Graft & the Heart of a Modern Medium
Mediumship Matters with Hannah MacintyreShow Notes
In this uplifting and deeply inspiring episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah sits down with the brilliant and big-hearted Leanne Lackie — psychic medium, teacher, and the woman behind Dundee’s beloved “Spooky Hut.”
Celebrating her 10-year mediumship anniversary, Leanne shares her extraordinary journey: from early childhood experiences, the devastating loss of her father at 17, and the spiritual awakening that followed — to navigating motherhood, caring responsibilities, and carving out a thriving mediumship career on her own terms. Leanne opens up about balancing family life with spiritual development, the determination it takes to keep growing, and how online circles during lockdown helped transform her from hobbyist to professional. She chats about building her teaching community, running development circles, supporting students, and finding her own voice in a world full of spiritual noise.
Together, Hannah and Leanne dive into the realities of platform mediumship, pushing through nerves, handling jealousy, setting boundaries, and staying grounded while still celebrating the magic and wonder of spirit. Leanne also shares her dreams for 2026 — from more demonstrations and trance work to building her website, expanding her offerings, and bringing her healing abilities forward in a whole new way.
✨ A warm, funny, energising conversation with a medium whose passion, honesty, and “whoosh” energy light up every room she enters. 🌐 Connect with Leanne on Spirit Social 🌟 This episode is part of the Spirit Social “Meet the Creator” series — celebrating the incredible souls sharing their gifts on the app. I'm starting a circle, and you're invited.

Platform mediumship is about so much more than giving someone in the audience a reading. In this final episode of Season 9, I'm sharing the personal principles that guide every demonstration I do—and why I believe platform mediumship should serve the whole room, not just the person receiving the message. We explore:
“Spirit told me…” But did they? This week I’m diving into a tricky — and slightly uncomfortable — topic: Discernment. Because not everything we receive from spirit is meant to be shared. And not everything we think is from spirit… actually is. In this episode I’m exploring: • The difference between what spirit show you, what you interpret, and what you should say • How your own beliefs and development level shape what you receive • Why “pure channel” claims don’t quite hold up • The responsibility of sharing information with sitters, students and even friends • And the ethical line every medium has to learn to navigate Just because you can say something… doesn’t mean you should. And learning that difference is part of the work. I'm starting a circle, and you're invited. Most people developing their mediumship are doing it on their own.

My mediumship has improved dramatically recently. More evidence. More clarity. More trust. And surprisingly… I don't think it's because I've practised more mediumship. In this episode I explore the unexpected lesson the gym has taught me about working with spirit, why learning to sit with discomfort changes everything, and how overcoming the voice in your head transforms your connection. We also explore:
Why are we so uncomfortable sitting with someone else's pain? In this episode, I'm reflecting on a beautiful email from a listener, sharing why I almost didn't release a recent podcast, and exploring something I see all the time in spiritual spaces... Our need to explain. To interpret. To find the lesson. To make everything happen for a reason. We explore:
You've probably heard me say it before… Open your eyes. In this episode, I'm answering a listener's question about one of the biggest hurdles developing mediums face: learning to work with their eyes open. It feels impossible at first—I know because I've been there. We explore:
