ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this episode of Splintered Spirits, Gary Shapiro and John Santa sit down with Canadian evidential medium Joelle Tremblay to explore how a corporate high achiever became the only medium in Canada certified by the Forever Family Foundation. Joelle shares the emotional story of four years of fertility treatments, a surprise “spiritual boot camp” retreat, and the moment during pregnancy when she suddenly started knowing and hearing things she could not logically explain. She talks about the strange sequence of events that turned a yoga teacher and doctorate candidate into a working medium whose abilities seemed to arrive hand in hand with new life.
From there, Gary and John dive into what evidential mediumship looks like in real practice. Joelle explains how her clairs developed from pure claircognizance into powerful clairsentience and clairaudience, why she prefers not to see too much, and how she experiences spirits as distinct, personality-filled presences rather than just a vague field of consciousness. She walks the audience through the rigorous Forever Family Foundation testing process, including the infamous video-off sitter who would only respond with “tell me more.” The conversation also tackles ethics, boundaries with spirit, the reality of doing highly emotional grief work, and what it means to practice mediumship inside science-minded Canadian culture while still honoring angels, spirit guides, and the raw, human weight of loss.
If you are searching for paranormal podcasts that blend psychic mediumship, afterlife evidence, and real human stories, you’ll get all that in this episode and hear why Joelle walked away from corporate life, how she handles skeptics and non-ethical practitioners, and why she thinks grief itself is a universal language that cuts across borders, beliefs, and platforms.
