What happens when grief opens a doorway?

In this episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by Dutch medium, healer, trance medium and teacher Danielle Nijhuis for a deeply moving conversation about loss, spirit communication, healing, and the moment that changed the course of her life.

Danielle’s journey into mediumship began after the sudden passing of someone she deeply loved. Like so many people who experience profound grief, she found herself asking the question that sits quietly behind so much of human suffering:

Where have you gone?

That question led her on a search — through religion, grief, intuition, mediumship, the Arthur Findlay College, trance, healing, and physical mediumship.

In this conversation, Danielle shares the experiences that shaped her understanding of the spirit world, including her time sitting in trance and physical mediumship circles, her work with spirit guides, her journey with healing, and the extraordinary séance experience that gave her the answer she had been searching for.

What makes this conversation so powerful is not just the phenomena Danielle describes, but the emotional meaning behind it. After receiving what she felt was a direct and deeply personal answer from the spirit world, Danielle made a promise: to dedicate herself to serving spirit and helping others find healing, connection, and trust.

This is a conversation about grief, evidence, love, healing, and the way the spirit world can sometimes meet us in the places where life has broken us open.

How do you know when it’s truly spirit… and when it’s just your mind?

In this episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by medium and psychic Susan Diadem for a wonderfully honest, wise and often very funny conversation about the inner world of mediumship.

This isn’t just a conversation about giving messages. It’s about what happens underneath the surface — the doubt, the responsibility, the fear of getting it wrong, the importance of spiritual integrity, and the moment a medium begins to move beyond technique into trust.

Susan shares her own journey from early sensitivity and psychic awareness into mediumship, including the years she spent questioning herself, learning through different teachers and traditions, and eventually finding the confidence to listen more deeply to spirit.

Together, we explore why so many mediums doubt themselves, why that doubt often comes from care rather than lack of ability, and why great mediumship is not simply about delivering facts — but about honouring the essence, dignity and love of the soul being communicated.

This episode also opens up a much-needed conversation around evidence versus essence, the danger of embellishing what spirit gives, the role of ego in mediumship, and why formal structures can be helpful at the beginning but limiting if we never move beyond them.

At the heart of this conversation is a simple but powerful question:

Can we trust ourselves enough to become a clear voice for spirit?

What you’ll hear

• Susan’s journey from psychic sensitivity into mediumship
• Why many genuine mediums struggle with self-doubt
• The difference between evidence and essence in spirit communication
• Why integrity matters so deeply in mediumship
• The danger of embellishing or interpreting too much
• Why respect and dignity matter when bringing loved ones through
• How training and structure can help — but can also become restrictive
• The balance between confidence, humility and ego
• Why spirit communication should feel more like a loving conversation than a checklist
• Susan’s reflections on healing, comparison, hope and learning to trust yourself

Who this episode is for

This episode is for anyone developing mediumship, sitting in spiritual circles, giving readings, or trying to understand their own sensitivity more deeply.

It’s also for anyone who has ever asked:

Was that intuition? Was that anxiety? Was that spirit… or was that just my mind?

What happens when spiritual experiences stop being abstract ideas… and start becoming deeply real?

In this fascinating and thought-provoking episode of Soul Sync, Jason sits down with Dennis Blaauw — a deeply inquisitive spiritual practitioner whose journey has taken him through mediumship, healing, shamanism, energy work, acupuncture, mysticism and profound spiritual experiences that challenged his entire understanding of reality.
