In this episode, I dive into the fascinating world of paradoxes—especially how they show up in life and mediumship. Drawing from my own experiences, I discuss the delicate balance of caring deeply while needing to detach, seeking validation while knowing it can block us, and other spiritual paradoxes that challenge our understanding. Tune in for a reflective and thought-provoking conversation about how these contradictions can lead us to deeper truths in our spiritual practice.

On this day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada I sit down with Emily Brant, an Indigenous writer, speaker, and mentor who is on a mission to decolonize the personal development and coaching industries. Emily, a Turtle Clan member from the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, works with coaches, leaders, and healers to create more inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported. Through her work, Emily guides others to unlearn colonized ways of thinking and offers tools to help foster communities that value decolonization at their core.
In this episode, we dive into Emily’s journey, her experiences with assimilation, and the crucial moment when she realized that her Indigenous identity was key to her business growth and personal development. We also explore how Emily is helping others navigate these spaces, offering practical advice for decolonizing the coaching industry and addressing deep-rooted trauma.
If you’ve been curious about how colonization impacts the coaching world or want to learn more about Indigenous perspectives in business and healing, this episode offers profound insights into the ongoing journey of decolonization.

In this episode of Spirit School, I delve into the topic of perfectionism, a challenge I've encountered throughout my journey as an Indigenous spiritual medium.
As a Virgo, a sign known for its meticulous nature, I've always been negotiating with perfectionism, which has accompanied me since I began my spiritual and mediumship development in 2013.
I share how this perfectionist tendency first manifested when I set a goal of 150 practice readings before offering paid services, highlighting the pressure I felt to ensure I was ready. Through astrology and personality assessments, I've gained insights and permission slips that have helped me embrace my Virgo nature while continuing to strive for growth and healing. I also recount the transformation of my online blog into the Spirit School podcast in 2018, a journey that involved overcoming the paralyzing grip of perfectionism.
A health crisis prompted me to take bold steps forward, leading to the creation of a podcast that has since blossomed into an online school and book. In exploring how perfectionism often masks underlying fears, I share techniques I've developed to push through, such as launching projects before they're "perfect" and learning through experience.
By looking through the lens of love and compassion, I offer a path to overcoming fear and perfectionism, encouraging others in the spiritual space to lead by example, embrace imperfection, and evolve with the freedom and accountability that 2024 brings.
