Spirit Talk

In this episode of Spirit Talk, I’m sharing a deeply personal experience that began with the passing of my beloved cat, Foxy, and unexpectedly opened a doorway into something much deeper. After 19 years together, grieving Foxy gave me an opportunity to fully feel my emotions without holding back. What I didn’t expect was for that grief to become a release point for feelings I had been carrying for years... even decades. I share what happened, the unexpected shift I felt afterward, and the beautiful way my spirit guide supported me through it. I also share a very different kind of Spirit Talk experience: mirror portals. Can mirrors act as energetic gateways? I’ll tell you about the mirror portal I discovered in my own home, how I cleared and sealed it, and why I believe keeping the energy in your home feeling like your own can make such a difference. I also share a recent experience with someone I’ve worked with in psychic development, where I sensed a mirror portal in her home before she showed me a photo of it, and the mirror was exactly where and how I had seen it in my mind. Plus, I’ll walk you through the simple method I use to clear and close a mirror portal, along with some alternative approaches you can try. In this episode: • Grief, emotional release, and what the body holds • How feeling deeply can create unexpected healing • A message from my spirit guide during a powerful release • Feeling Foxy’s presence after her passing • What mirror portals are • How I discovered a mirror portal in my own home • How to clear and seal a mirror portal • An intuitive experience involving a mirror in someone else’s home • Why you may want to close a portal even if you don’t believe it’s dangerous • Tuning into the energy of your own home with discernment Spirit Talk is all about exploring the weird, wonderful, and deeply personal side of spirituality. From psychic development and spirit communication to the experiences that make us question what’s really going on beyond what we can see. If you’ve ever experienced a portal, strange activity around a mirror, or something you simply can’t explain, I’d love to hear about it.

Psychic Shielding: What Actually Protects You? One of the most common pieces of advice given to developing psychics is, "Never open yourself without protection." But is that really the foundation of spiritual safety? In this episode of Spirit Talk, I share how my perspective on psychic shielding has evolved over the years. We explore the difference between energetic protection rooted in fear versus protection rooted in self-trust, presence, and a deep relationship with your own energy. We'll also talk about unconscious energetic shields created through trauma, why discernment is more important than defense, and why grounding may be the most overlooked part of psychic development. If you've ever worried about negative energy, questioned whether you're picking up someone else's emotions, or wondered how to strengthen your intuition without becoming fearful of the unseen, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore: What a psychic shield actually is Why trauma can create unconscious energetic barriers Why fear—not lack of protection—is often the real vulnerability The relationship between frequency, belief, and spiritual safety Why shielding can sometimes limit intuitive perception How to recognize your own energetic signature Discernment vs. protection Why grounding is essential for intuitive development What leaves us energetically vulnerable Simple shielding techniques that support rather than isolate your energy Mentioned in this episode: ✨ Summer Healing & Intuitive Reading Sessions Receive intuitive energy healing, psychic insights, and personalized guidance in a one-on-one online session. ✨ Spirit Talk Intuitive Development Circle August 29 A live 2-hour online gathering to strengthen your intuition through guided exercises and practice in a supportive community.

June Energy Update In this episode, I share a spontaneous mini energy reading for June 2026 after the original topic shifted as I sat down to record. June arrives with a clear, grounded frequency that feels like truth being revealed and life becoming easier to see for what it really is. This month carries themes of clarity, truth, and alignment through honesty rather than effort. There’s a natural invitation to stop looking outside yourself for answers and instead listen more deeply to your inner knowing. As old beliefs and patterns fall away, June supports a quiet release of what no longer fits. I also share a personal reflection on time feeling faster this year, and how a slow, restorative day helped me feel the subtle deceleration in June’s energy. The episode includes an intuitive look at: The energetic tone of June 2026 The shift away from hustle culture into presence The scent of June (jasmine after rain) and its symbolic meaning The colours of June: sky blue and soft pink A channelled message on gratitude as a daily grounding practice The guidance for this month is simple but powerful: presence is alignment. A daily gratitude practice is offered as an anchor to help return to yourself and the present moment. ✨ Register for the Spirit Talk intuitive development workshop! https://spirittalkdevelopmentcircle.as.me/dropin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spirittalkwithbrandee/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@spirittalkwithbrandee email: sprittalk13@gmail.com

On this episode of Spirit Talk, Andrea and I dive into one of those conversations that feels like you’re sitting in on two friends talking honestly about life, healing, spirituality, and becoming more yourself. We actually begin the episode halfway through a hilarious discussion about whether or not we’re going to swear in this episode… and from there, the conversation unfolds naturally into something both deeply meaningful and incredibly human. Andrea opens up vulnerably about her recent breast cancer journey and what it has been like standing on the other side of that experience. We talk about the shifts that happen when life cracks you open — the way challenges can deepen your relationship with yourself, your body, your intuition, and what truly matters. Together, we explore self-compassion, people-pleasing, nervous system healing, authenticity, spirituality, and the lifelong process of learning to come home to yourself. There is laughter in this episode. There is depth. There are moments of tenderness, honesty, and reflection. It’s a conversation about healing, but also about living fully while we’re here. Topics we explore: Andrea’s breast cancer journey and healing Self-compassion and authenticity Nervous system regulation People-pleasing and perfectionism Spirituality and personal growth Learning to reconnect with yourself Finding joy and humour through difficult seasons Connect with Andrea: https://paperbell.me/theunconditionalmovement Follow Spirit Talk: https://www.instagram.com/spirittalkwithbrandee/ If you want to reach out via email, here's the address: spirittalk13@gmail.com

Hello Spirit Talkers ✨ In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that almost everyone has wondered about at some point… soulmates. But not in the way you were taught growing up. 💫 In This Episode: Why the traditional idea of “one soulmate” is only a small piece of the truth. What a soul group really is—and how souls travel together across lifetimes. The different forms soulmates can take: romantic partners family members friends brief but powerful connections Why time doesn’t define the depth of a soul connection. The deeper purpose of soulmate relationships: growth healing awakening remembering who you truly are 🔮 A Personal Share For the first time, I open up about a deeply meaningful experience— a dream (or something beyond a dream) where I was shown my soul group. This moment shifted how I understand connection, belonging, and the evolution of the soul… and it felt important to share it with you now. 🌱 Key Takeaway Soulmates aren’t here to complete you—they’re here to activate you. Some will feel easy and loving. Others may feel intense or even challenging. But all are part of your soul’s expansion. 💭 Reflection Question Instead of asking “Have I met my soulmate?” Try asking: “Which soulmates are in my life right now—and what are they here to show me?” 🌟 Work With Me Spirit Talk Development Circle If you’ve been feeling the nudge to deepen your intuition, this is your sign.

🎙️ Spirit Talk — What’s in a Name? + April Energy Update Hello Spirit Talkers ✨ In today’s episode, we’re diving into two powerful themes: a mini energy update for the second half of April and a deep, soulful exploration of the meaning and magic of names. 🔮 Mini April Energy Update (Mid–Late Month) The energy this month is activated, fast-moving, and full of momentum. There’s a strong “go get it” energy available right now Action is supported—but intentional action is key Without direction, this energy can feel chaotic or scattered Even the smallest aligned steps are building something meaningful ✨ If you’re noticing synchronicities everywhere, you’re in alignment—keep going. ✨ If not, you’re not behind—pause and ask: what am I being called to begin? This is a time of: New beginnings 🌱 Following intuitive nudges (“breadcrumbs”) Building momentum toward something that can fully bloom this season Important: With all this activation, emotions may rise to the surface—especially old pain. This isn’t a setback—it’s transformation Feel it, move it, release it Your body is asking to clear space for what’s next 🎨 Energetic Colours for April These colours may show up as signs, support, or themes: Pink Orange Yellow (and yellow-based tones like green) Red Lavender (a very specific, almost angelic message—this may be a synchronicity for you) 🌼 Oracle Message Pulled from Messages from the Spirit of Nature Oracle by Dr. Steven D. Farmer: Dandelion Reach out if this message landed for you! 💫 What’s in a Name? Names are more than labels—they are energetic signatures. In this episode, we explore: How names carry vibration, meaning, and identity The idea that names are not random, but part of a deeper soul blueprint How we grow into our names, and they grow into us The emotional and personal journey of embracing your own name You’ll also hear reflections on: Naming children and the weight and responsibility it holds The energetic difference between full names, nicknames, and spoken resonance The possibility that names are chosen or agreed upon at a soul level 🔮 Names in Mediumship Names are often seen as the “gold standard” in readings—but are they really? We explore: Why names can be one of the hardest things to receive intuitively How spirit communicates through images, feelings, and symbolism—not language The difference between validation vs. true connection ✨ A powerful story is shared about receiving the name Ursula through the image of an octopus—showing how spirit uses personal symbolism and memory to communicate. 🧠 Key Takeaways Names carry energy, but they are not everything Essence is louder than language Not receiving a name is not a failure—it’s often a different form of communication Spirit meets you where you are and uses what you understand The deeper question becomes: Can you feel the essence behind the name? 🌿 Join the Spirit Talk Development Circle Ready to practice and strengthen your intuitive abilities? ✨ 6-week live circle ✨ Weekly 90-minute sessions ✨ Psychic exercises, mediumship, and real-time guidance ✨ A supportive space to practice—the most important part of development 🔗 https://spirittalkdevelopmentcircle.as.me 💌 Let’s Connect Did this episode resonate?

🔗 Join the circle: https://spirittalkdevelopmentcircle.as.me/ There are moments in life where something has been quietly building… and then one day, you realize it’s time. In this episode, I share something that has been on my heart for years — something I’ve been guided toward, resisted at times, and ultimately learned to trust. This isn’t about being “the most intuitive” or having it all figured out. It’s about following the pull. It’s about listening when something deeper keeps nudging you forward. I talk about: The journey that led me here (including a full circle moment from 4 years ago 👀) How my own intuitive development has unfolded over time The role of self-doubt, comparison, and learning to trust your own path What my astrology, numerology, and human design reflect back to me about this work The realization that I’ve been preparing for this for years — even when I didn’t see it And… I’m finally sharing something I’ve been sitting on for a long time: ✨ The Spirit Talk Intuitive Development Circle is open. This is a 6-week small group experience designed for those who feel called to deepen their intuition in a grounded, supportive, and real way. Inside the circle, we’ll explore: Psychic abilities + how they uniquely show up for you Mediumship + connecting with spirit Working with your spirit guides Energy work + awareness Meditation practices Practice readings (in a safe, supportive space) Group discussion, Q&A, and real-time guidance This space is not about doing it “right.” It’s about discovering your way. If you’ve been feeling the pull… If you’re curious… If you’ve ever been told you’re intuitive and didn’t know what to do with that… You are so welcome here. 🔗 Join the circle: https://spirittalkdevelopmentcircle.as.me/ No pressure — just an invitation.

In this powerful and expansive episode of Spirit Talk, I sit down with “cosmic throat singer” Matthew Kocel for a conversation that feels just as multidimensional as his music. Matthew shares the deeply personal and spiritual journey that led him to embody this unique path. What begins as a story rooted in traditional music twists and unfolds into something far greater—guided by surrender, synchronicity, and a calling he couldn’t ignore. Once pursuing a more conventional path in the music world, Matthew experienced a profound shift when everything he thought he wanted fell away. In that space, something new emerged—an unexpected reconnection to sound as a healing force and a gateway to higher consciousness. We talk about: The turning points that led him from rock musician to sound healer The moment he discovered the power of his voice and throat singing How synchronicities guided him into alignment with his purpose What it really means to channel sound as a bridge between worlds The role of vibration in healing, transformation, and awakening Matthew’s work blends throat singing, overtone chanting, and intuitive sound to create what many describe as a deeply transformative, almost otherworldly experience—often compared to entering altered states of consciousness through sound alone. His music has reached audiences around the world and is even featured in meditation work by Joe Dispenza, where it’s used to help open the heart and deepen inner awareness. At the heart of it all, Matthew’s mission is simple yet profound: to awaken the human heart and reconnect us to the deeper truth that everything—literally everything—is vibration. 🎧 Featured in this Episode Outro song: “Grace” by Matthew Kocel Visit Matthew's website for music, event dates, and more: https://matthewkocel.com/ 🌿 Final Thoughts This conversation is a reminder that sometimes the path isn’t linear, it’s mystical. When we surrender what we think we’re here to do, we make space for what we’re actually here to become.

In this episode of Spirit Talk, Brandee shares personal updates, energetic insights, and reflections on spiritual growth. From celebrating the end of daylight savings time to discussing collective awakening energy, this episode moves through real life, healing, and soul wisdom. In This Episode Finally Saying Goodbye to Daylight Savings The clocks have officially stopped changing where I live and I could not be happier. When I read the news I literally started dancing and ran to tell my kids. They were… significantly less excited than I was. But for me this feels like a small but meaningful victory for our daily rhythm and well-being. A Sweet Memory: Grandma’s Lipstick A quick story and reflection inspired by a memory connected to my grandmother and lipstick. Here's the nudge to have your loved ones in spirit help you pick a symbol that represents them. A Magical Evening of Sound and Energy I attended a beautiful event at a wellness centre called Solidago. The space is incredible and the energy there is something special. The founder left a long career in education to build a spiritual wellness community and it shows in every detail of the space. The evening included a powerful sound experience that went far beyond a typical sound bath. The throat singer who performed created a deeply moving experience and I’ll actually be featuring him on an upcoming episode of the podcast. Upcoming Speaking Event I’ll be speaking at the Modern Medium Social in Pitt Meadows, BC on May 30th. I’m really excited to be part of this event and connect with the spiritual community there. Energy Update for March January and February felt strange energetically, but March feels different. There is a rising energy right now. Many people are feeling activated, like a fire has been lit under them. Another wave of spiritual awakening is happening. Some people are experiencing their first awakening, while others who woke up years ago are feeling another layer of activation. With awakening can come shock, anger, or frustration as people begin seeing corruption or dysfunction in systems they once trusted. That reaction is part of the process. What I’m really loving right now is the activation energy. People are waking up, stepping into awareness, and feeling called to move. Coming Soon: The Spirit Circle I’m currently developing something I’m incredibly excited about called the Spirit Circle. It will be a space where people can practice and develop their spiritual abilities together in a supportive environment. If you’ve been wanting a place to explore your intuitive gifts, this will be for you. Booking details will be available soon and I’ll share more in an upcoming episode. Collective Card Pull For this episode I pulled Shape Shifter from the Angels and Ancestors deck by Kyle Gray. This card may actually be becoming a “stalker card” for the Spirit Talk collective. Its message is about transformation, adaptability, and the ability to move between energetic states as you evolve. Old Soul Wisdom We end the episode by talking about the idea of “old souls.” The term can easily be misunderstood. Being an old soul doesn’t necessarily mean someone who has lived the most lifetimes. It really refers more to spiritual advancement and depth of experience. Some souls develop wisdom gradually across many lives. Others may gain profound growth in fewer incarnations through intense or accelerated experiences. Neither path is better than the other. Every soul has its own journey. Souls grow “old” through experience, not time. Before incarnating, souls often plan experiences that will help them learn what they still need to learn. Sometimes a soul may want to take on an extremely difficult life to grow quickly. Guides may caution them, but ultimately the journey belongs to the soul. If you feel like an old soul, your wisdom may have come from gradual growth, from hardship, or from a combination of both. However the path unfolded, awareness comes through lived experience.

Hello Spirit Talkers 💚 It’s been a minute… and in this episode, I’m catching you up, sharing a powerful personal spirit story, and diving into a rapid-fire list of 23 things I’ve learned over the years as an energy reader. This one is layered. Personal. Practical. A little mystical. A little grounded. Just the way we like it. 🌅 A Message from Spirit: “Face the Sun” I share a beautiful synchronicity that happened at work involving a woman named Gladys, a bus ride to East Hastings, a mention of Philip Avenue… and how it became a clear hello from my grandparents in Spirit. In a season that has felt heavy and chaotic, that moment shifted everything for me. Spirit’s message was simple: Share your light. Face the sun. Shine anyway. We talk about: Living in the world after spiritual awakening Navigating melancholy and collective heaviness The healing power of signs from loved ones Why people seek mediums And the reminder that you can be your own medium The more you believe, the more you receive. 🌿 Coming Soon: Spirit Talk Development Circle If you’ve been wanting to develop your intuitive gifts in a safe, supportive space, I’m working on something special. An online Spirit Talk Development Circle is in the works. This will be: A judgment-free space to practice psychic skills A place to strengthen intuition A community of like-hearted people A space for energetic growth and accountability More details coming soon on the podcast 💚 ⚡ 23 Things I’ve Learned as an Energy Reader Rapid-fire style. No particular order. Just lived experience, observation, and intuitive knowing. Here are some highlights: Cats are multidimensional guardians. Dogs protect the physical. Cats guard the energetic. Coincidences don’t exist. Stretching and fascia health support intuitive development. The Universe speaks in synchronicities. Babies see auras and spirits. Some people are soul-linked from other incarnations. Reincarnation is not rigid. Loved ones can return in overlapping timelines. A soul can live more than one life at once. Sensitives need serious energetic maintenance. (Salt baths, nature, washing hands, movement.) Love is the ultimate healer. Clear your corners. Energy collects there. Plants communicate and uplift a home’s frequency. Water clears and conducts energy. (Float tanks, showers, intentional use.) Selenite is the mother crystal. It clears, charges, and supports spaces. Repeating animal symbols carry messages. Loved ones in Spirit “meddle” more than guides do. Advanced guides often indicate advanced or accelerating souls. Friday the 13th shows how collective belief creates energetic outcomes. Linear time exists for the human experience. Souls may incarnate as trees, animals, rocks, elements. Sunlight on the eyes supports intuitive clarity. Be mindful of mirror placement, especially in bedrooms. Your interests are purposeful. They may be your light pathway. I also share a fascinating personal experience with a coppernite worry stone unexpectedly triggering past-life recall during my son’s lacrosse game. 🔎 Past Life Clarification I revisit my past life regression episode with Karen Hible and clarify something important. After learning that slavery in the United States ended in 1865, I realized the life I described (which felt post-1900) would not have been one of enslavement but more likely sharecropping on former plantation land. The emotional truth of that life still stands. But accuracy matters. And I felt called to correct it. 💚 A Final Reminder The world may feel turbulent. Heavy. Chaotic. But Spirit’s guidance remains steady: Face the sun. Share your light. Shine anyway.

In this expansive and thought-provoking episode of Spirit Talk, Brandee sits down with Julie Ryan, psychic medium, medical intuitive, inventor, author, and entrepreneur, for a grounded yet deeply spiritual conversation about death, healing, and the evolving future of healthcare. Julie shares insights from her book Angelic Attendants, including the 12 Phases of Transition®, a compassionate framework that helps individuals and families understand what occurs emotionally, energetically, and spiritually as a loved one approaches death. Together, Brandee and Julie explore how these phases can bring peace, reassurance, and a sense of sacredness to the dying process. The conversation moves into soul-level questions around destiny and choice, examining whether our soul contracts predetermine the way we die or if we retain free will even in our final moments. Julie offers a nuanced perspective that honors both divine planning and conscious choice. Julie also shares her vision for the future of healthcare, explaining why she believes energetic diagnostics and medical intuition will play an increasingly important role alongside mainstream medicine. She discusses how intuitive scanning can complement traditional diagnostics, offering earlier insight into imbalances before they manifest physically and why collaboration, not replacement, is the key. Another powerful part of the episode explores past-life scanning. Julie explains how information from other lifetimes presents itself during intuitive sessions and how unresolved experiences, vows, or trauma can influence present-day challenges, patterns, and even physical illness. This discussion offers a compassionate lens for understanding recurring issues that don’t always have a clear explanation. In this episode, you’ll hear about: The 12 Phases of Transition® and how they support families during the dying process Soul contracts, destiny, and choice at the moment of death The future of healthcare and the role of energetic diagnostics How medical intuition can work alongside conventional medicine What past-life information reveals and how it impacts current health and life patterns Normalizing spiritual conversations around death, healing, and transformation This episode is for anyone curious about the unseen layers of healing, navigating end-of-life transitions, or feeling called to a more soul-centered understanding of health and humanity. ✨ About Julie Ryan Julie Ryan is a psychic medium, medical intuitive, energy healer, inventor, author, and host of the globally recognized Ask Julie Ryan podcast, heard in over 100 countries.

Spirit Talk — 2026 Energy Update Happy New Year, Spirit Talkers ✨ In this episode, Brandee dives into the energetic landscape of 2026, a year of initiation, movement, and embodied power. While January may feel slow, tender, and inward, this pause is intentional. It’s the calm before a much faster, more activating cycle begins. This episode explores how to honor this moment of rest while preparing for a year that asks us to step forward with clarity, courage, and self-trust. ✨ In This Episode, We Explore: • The energy of January & early 2026 Why hibernation, rest, and nervous system recovery are not only normal (but essential) before the pace accelerates later this year. • Is January 1st really the “New Year”? A grounded conversation about honoring ancient cycles (spring, lunar new year) while also acknowledging the energetic reality of the Gregorian calendar and numerology. • Universal Year 1 in Numerology The beginning of a brand-new 9-year cycle: Initiation, identity, and leadership Choosing aligned action over hesitation Trusting yourself before certainty arrives • Lunar New Year & the Fire Horse An introduction to the Fire Horse year in Chinese astrology: Freedom, momentum, and truth-telling Breaking out of old roles and limitations The importance of aligned courage vs. impulsivity • Psychic & energetic themes of 2026 Why many sensitives may feel: Energetic “tugging” or attachments from others Heightened intuition and psychic awareness • Chaos, reorganization & global shifts How 2026 marks the beginning of deeper systemic change, personally and collectively, especially around leadership, power, and outdated structures. • The rise of intuitive & healing arts Why this year supports: Psychic development Teaching or learning spiritual skills Embodied spirituality becoming mainstream • Color, scent & sound for 2026 Channeled energetic tools to support the year: Color: Red (with orange & yellow) Scent profile: Cinnamon, clove, sweet orange, blood orange, lemon zest, neroli Tone: Low–mid octave F (with F–A–C harmony) Suggested practices include humming, sound bowls, and music in F major. • Tarot archetype for 2026 🔥 The Magician — a year where power is already in your hands and intuition is meant to be acted on, not just felt. 🎶 Music Mentioned A featured piano piece by Hania Rani (in F major) — shared as a sonic embodiment of 2026’s frequency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB34_eLCLKo&list=RDbB34_eLCLKo&start_radio=1 🔮 Final Reflection 2026 is asking you to choose, to embody, and to move with conviction. This isn’t just a new chapter — it’s a new identity. Thank you so much for tuning in. Until we meet again, friends. 💛

In this episode of Spirit Talk, I share a personal story that happened on November 30th, well before the holidays, and the reflections that followed in the weeks after. While attending my son’s lacrosse game, I ignored a clear gut feeling about a situation that didn’t feel safe. Moments later, I was bitten by a dog. The injury itself healed, but what stayed with me was the realization that I had noticed the risk and chose to override myself anyway. This episode isn’t about blame, fear, or dramatizing the event. It’s about something many of us do without realizing it: pushing past our internal signals in order to be polite, avoid discomfort, or not make a scene. I talk through what happened that night, how my body responded in the days afterward, and why the emotional processing that followed mattered more than the physical injury. The second half of the episode looks at why intuition is so often dismissed or mislabeled as anxiety, overthinking, or fear and how social conditioning teaches many of us to second-guess what we already know. I also introduce the idea of the “witch wound,” not as a diagnosis or belief system, but as a useful way to describe the learned habit of suppressing inner knowing in order to stay safe, agreeable, or accepted. In this episode, I discuss: A real-life example of ignoring a gut feeling and the consequences Why we override intuition to avoid appearing rude, dramatic, or difficult How intuition is commonly mistaken for anxiety or overthinking What the “witch wound” means in practical, psychological terms Everyday ways self-trust gets eroded Why healing is about awareness, not perfection How pausing and listening, even briefly, builds self-trust over time If you’ve ever stayed quiet when something felt off, talked yourself out of a warning signal, or looked back and thought I knew better, this episode may resonate. The takeaway is simple: intuition doesn’t need to be dramatic to be valid. Learning to listen and noticing when we don’t is part of rebuilding trust with ourselves. Until next time, trust what you feel.

In this episode of Spirit Talk, we take a step back, (way back), to explore where our modern Christmas traditions really come from. After a brief personal catch-up, I felt called to pause the heavier storytelling and instead lean into the season itself. What is it about this time of year that feels so powerful, so emotional, and so universal? Together, we explore the ancient roots of Christmas traditions that long predate Christianity, including: 🌲 Yule and the Norse midwinter celebrations honoring the rebirth of the sun 🔥 The symbolism of the winter solstice, the longest night, and the return of the light 🎁 Saturnalia, the Roman festival of feasting, gift-giving, and suspended rules ☀️ Sol Invictus and why December 25th was known as the “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun” 🍄 The mythic and symbolic theories surrounding the Amanita muscaria mushroom, pine trees, reindeer, and red-and-white imagery 🌟 How ancient pagan traditions were blended into early Christianity to form what we now call Christmas This episode isn’t about disproving beliefs or replacing traditions — it’s about honoring where they came from. Across cultures and centuries, humans gathered at this darkest point of the year to mark the same truth: the light returns. Whether you celebrate Christmas religiously, culturally, spiritually, or not at all, this episode invites you to slow down, get curious, and feel into the deeper meaning of the season. Because beneath the lights, the gifts, and the stories… this has always been a celebration of hope. 🎧 Listen in, reflect, and remember...the light always comes back.

In this month’s energy update, Brandee shares the messages that came through for December—a powerful month of rising into a new frequency, heart-centered healing, and stepping fully into the intuitive age. We begin with the final alphabet shout-out, closing things off with gratitude for the downloads from the Yukon Territories. No more structured shout-outs going forward—just appreciation for this beautiful community and how Spirit Talk continues to grow. Brandee also shares a quick personal update about why this episode is landing on the 5th instead of the 1st (including an unexpected dog bite story that will get its own episode soon!). Then we dive into the energy: December Themes Arising out of the old: In November, we saw what needed to fall away. December asks us to shake off the old version of ourselves and step into a new vibration. Heart-centered healing: This month is deeply connected to the heart chakra. Simple practices—hand on the heart, slow breathing, setting intentions—help anchor the new frequency. Shadow work & self-awareness: To align with the high frequencies coming in, tending to your emotional and energetic body is essential. Healing isn’t linear—be gentle with yourself. A new collective vibration: Sensitives, intuitives, and those doing the inner work may feel lighter, renewed, or propelled forward. The energy is supportive of intuitive development like never before. Manifestation power: December is especially potent for visioning, dreaming, and calling in the next two years. Vision boards, goal setting, and clarity of intention are encouraged. Ego flares & shifting relationships: Both our own ego and the ego of others may rise as frequencies shift. Some relationships may change as not everyone enters the new vibration at the same pace—this is normal and okay. Sensory Signatures of December Colours Soft pearlescent pink White-gold light Moss green Scents Rose Vanilla Fir Textures / Energetic Feel Warm, plush, soft textures Gentle heat on the chest—melting, soothing, grounding Crystals Rose quartz Rhodochrosite Selenite A Notable Channeled Date December 23rd came through strongly as a day of connection, oneness, and significance—possibly collective, possibly for specific listeners. Closing Brandee pulls a card for the collective and invites you to notice the light moving into your life this month. Happy December! This is a beautiful, heart-opening frequency to step into, and Brandee is truly excited for what’s ahead for the Spirit Talk community.

Amy of Modern Medium Co. In this episode, I sit down with Amy, founder of Modern Medium Co., a beautiful collective of gifted spiritual practitioners offering modern, grounded approaches to mediumship, energy work, healing, and intuitive development. We chat about the heart behind her company, the growing community of practitioners she works with, and an exciting upcoming social event—a fresh, modern twist on a psychic fair designed to bring people together, explore different modalities, and have some fun. I also bring your questions to Amy, including: What’s the deal with hauntings? Is there a lifestyle that actually supports strong mediumship abilities? Does everyone have all the “clairs,” or are some gifts unique? And of course, I ask Amy about her own spiritual path, and how she may have evolved since we last talked on Spirit Talk two+ years ago. A grounded, insightful, and inspiring chat. Enjoy, Spirit Talkers! Check out The Modern Medium website.

✨ Spirit Talk – The Haunted House in Mission: A Ghost Story, an Energy Clearing & a Glimpse Into the Past ✨ Shout out to listeners in West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Washington, Wales, and Western Australia! In this episode, Brandee takes you on a real-time story of a spontaneous visit to one of Mission BC’s most haunted homes — a house with layers of history, intense energetic imprints, and spirits who haven’t quite moved on. Recorded completely without notes (a rare choice!), this episode is a blend of storytelling, energy reading, and a little paranormal tourism. Come along for the full experience: the strange moments, the conflicting energies, the profound ones, and the downright creepy. 🌬️ Setting the Scene Brandee shares why she visited the house in the first place — not for a reading, not as a medium, but out of pure curiosity. Mission, as you’ll hear, is very haunted, and this home had a reputation long before she walked through the door. What was meant to be a casual look around turned into a fascinating energetic journey through the home’s lingering impressions. 🏡 The House Itself Before even stepping inside: The wind felt strangely intentional. The front door was open — maybe by accident, maybe not. The atmosphere felt like it was expecting visitors. Inside, each room told a different energetic story. Some warm and welcoming… others dense, dark, and uncomfortable. 🤝 A Moment Worth Sharing In the backyard, Brandee and her friend held hands, grounded, gathered their life force, and sealed their auras with light. A beautiful, simple ritual that set the tone — and maybe even offered protection. (And yes — this episode includes an official call to normalize doing energy work with your friends.) 👻 The Spirits of the House 1. The Caretaker (Lottie?) A warm, devoted female presence who felt like the original owner — someone proud of her home but exasperated by what’s happened since. Her energy was supportive, almost relieved that Brandee showed up. 2. The Nun (or like a nun) Not necessarily a literal nun, but an energy with the same vibration — devotion, service, and religious dedication. A spiritual anchor with a clear connection to God. 3. The Man Upstairs The densest energy in the home. At the top of the stairs, Brandee walked into a shockwave of: Anger Addiction Dark, unsettling thoughts A lingering emotional imprint The words “helter skelter” — not hers, but his Standing between a bedroom, a closet, and an attic hatch, the energy hit an intense peak. This was the part of the house she couldn’t wait to leave. 🌿 The Contradictions Some areas felt genuinely lovely: One spot near the fireplace held the imprint of a kind, good-hearted man who spent peaceful time in his favorite chair. And the plants? They Thrived. Always a good sign and likely thanks to the caretaker’s lingering presence. This home held both dark and light spirits, flipping dramatically from one room to the next. 😨 The Paranormal Moments Even in under an hour, strange things happened: A sudden thump coming from under the stairs A bathroom lock incident that… did not feel normal Random door moments throughout the home These weren’t imagined. They happened to everyone present. 📜 The House’s History Meet Charlotte “Lottie” Northcote Kraemer, born in England in 1855. Moved to Mission and settled into the house in 1908 Lived in the home built by her son Ran a small maternity hospital out of the house Handled nursing, cooking, cleaning, and laundry Known for her good will, work ethic, and sense of humour Everything about her matches the caretaker energy Brandee felt. Listeners later confirmed impressions that aligned exactly with the home’s documented history — amazing! 💬 Listener Practice & Validation Brandee reads comments from listeners who practiced tuning into the home’s energy from the photos, some of whom picked up on impressions that were surprisingly accurate. A reminder: this is an excellent way to practice intuition without pressure. 🔗 Links Join the Facebook Soul Tribe group here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17hgja4ci7/ Follow Brandee's Spirit Talk IG page here: https://www.instagram.com/spirittalk13/ Check out the new Tik Tok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@spirittalk_13 Want to email the show?
