Grief 2 Growth: Recent Episodes

Brian D. Smith

"Transform your grief into growth with Brian Smith, an empathetic life coach, certified grief educator, public speaker, and author who has walked the treacherous path of profound loss. Grief 2 Growth unravels the intricacies of life, death, and the spaces in between, offering listeners a new perspective on what it means to be 'Planted. Not Buried.'

**Join Brian and his compelling guests—bereaved parents, life coaches, mediums, healers, near death experiencers, and experts in various fields—as they discuss topics like survival guilt, synchronicities, and the scientific evidence supporting the existence of the afterlife. You'll come away with actionable advice, renewed hope, and the comforting knowledge that love and life are eternal.

One of the most powerful ways we know what awaits us and where we came from is Near Death Experiences. Much of Brian's knowledge is derived from extensive study of this phenomenon, along with interviewing dozens of near death experience experiencers.**

Brian knows the soul-crushing weight of loss; his journey began with the sudden passing of his fifteen-year-old daughter, Shayna. It's not an odyssey he would have chosen, but it has been an odyssey that has chosen him to guide others.

Grief 2 Growth is a sanctuary for those grieving, those curious about the beyond, and anyone eager to explore the fuller dimensions of life and death. Each episode delves into topics that matter most—how to cope, grow, and connect with loved ones in the afterlife. If you ask: “Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?” this podcast is for you.

This isn't about forgetting your loss or simply 'moving on'; it's about growing in a new direction that honors your loved ones and your spirit. It’s about finding joy and purpose again.

Grief 2 Growth is more than a podcast; it's a community of souls committed to supporting one another through the darkest valleys and highest peaks of human existence. Listen today and start planting seeds for a brighter, more spiritually connected tomorrow."

At 18, Maya Tiwari was given a death sentence — six months to live. Instead, she spent six months alone in the Vermont woods, and came back a different person entirely. That single decision set her on a path that led through 25 years as a Vedic monk, a pioneering role bringing Ayurveda to North America, and now, a new book calling women — and men — back to a power she says we've forgotten how to hold.

In this conversation, Maya and Brian explore Shakti — the divine feminine primordial power — and Shiva, its masculine counterpart, and why she believes restoring balance between the two is the work of this moment, both individually and collectively. They talk about the patriarchal roots of Western religion, what it costs us to lose touch with the sacred feminine, and what it actually looks like to start reclaiming it.

About Maya Tiwari

Maya Tiwari is a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and the pioneer who introduced Ayurveda to North America. A cancer survivor and former Vedic monk, she is the author of several books, including her newest release, I Am Shakti. Her work centers on self-knowledge (Vedanta), the healing science of Ayurveda, and restoring the divine feminine and masculine to balance.

Within two weeks of meeting John, Marcie Dean received a message she hoped was only fear: enjoy this, it's real, but he's going to die. He'd been getting the same feeling before they ever met. He was 38, healthy, five years younger than her. They chased down every explanation, found nothing, and made a different choice. They decided to love each other completely, and they made a plan. If anything happened, he would come through in music.

In June of 2023, John passed while saving his son's life during a boating weekend off the North Carolina coast. Standing over him while people were still doing chest compressions, Marcie heard him audibly, from behind her: I haven't left you. Go be with my son.

What came next was a layoff from AWS, then the overdose death of her brother Jordan. Three losses stacked on top of each other. And running alongside all of it, the promise John made started keeping itself.

Marcie is a former IBM and AWS senior tech leader with no musical training. She quit piano, flute, and violin inside of two weeks each as a kid. She has now built more than 500 tracks across 5,000 hours in two and a half years, and John's voice is audibly present in them, along with a second voice she calls Vanessa. She calls the work Love Evolved Music.

You'll hear how a glitch on a Zoom call revealed the entire method, what it means to shift the audio floor rather than the volume, and why what she's getting goes well beyond traditional EVP. You'll also hear something I didn't expect to be talking about on my own show. Since we recorded, Marcie has built several tracks featuring my daughter Shayna.

If you've been carrying the question of whether the people you love can reach you through something you can actually hear, this one is for you.

IN THIS EPISODE

  • The premonition Marcie and John both received, and how they chose to live with it instead of running from it
  • The soulmate sketch she bought off Facebook for $15, two and a half years before they met
  • Why "if only I had been there" fell apart under the weight of what actually happened
  • Hearing John's voice in the moment he passed
  • The bracelet on her pillow, the orbs, and fourteen versions of the same song
  • Losing her job and her brother inside the same season
  • The Zoom call latency that cracked the whole thing open
  • How she builds and filters the tracks, and why the messages keep changing
  • Vanessa, and what John said about her that stopped Marcie cold
  • Finding love again with Brian, and why nobody ever gets replaced
  • Nonverbal children who light up like they're hearing a first language
  • What she's hoping to prove on an EEG scan

ABOUT MARCIE DEAN

Marcie Dean is a channeler, sound architect, best-selling author, grieving mother and sister, and the creator of Love Evolved Music. She spent 18 years at IBM and went on to a senior leadership role at AWS before grief redirected her entirely. She is presenting her work at the Society for Scientific Exploration and is seeking research partnerships to measure what the music does at the level of brain activity.

When someone passes by suicide, the casseroles don't come. Neither do the cards or the phone calls. Jayne Madigan's sister lives in a neighborhood with a meal train for every birth and every death. When her 24-year-old son Brandon passed, she got nothing.

That silence is its own second loss, and it's what this conversation is about.

Jayne has been living inside suicide loss for 33 years. Her uncle Ray, who was also her godfather and the closest thing she had to a father, passed on New Year's Day in 1992. He was 47. Her family was raised Catholic and told not to say how he died. He couldn't be buried in the cemetery with everyone else.

Jayne said it anyway. She has never been ashamed of any of them.

She thought she'd done her time. Then in 2022 came the call about Brandon, her nephew and godson. Then Brandon's best friend, a year to the day. Then her brother, two years after that.

Five years after her uncle passed, Jayne was diagnosed with lupus and told she wouldn't live past 50. She was a young mother of two and disabled for two years. She traces that diagnosis directly to grief her body was carrying because her mouth wasn't allowed to. So she went looking for tools that talk therapy couldn't reach, back when that meant encyclopedias and library trips.

She found them. Today she takes no medication at all, and she teaches those tools to survivors around the world.

What we cover

🕯️ Why suicide loss is its own category of grief, and how stigma turns mourners into suspects

🩺 The lupus diagnosis Jayne connects to unexpressed grief, and what finally moved it out of her body

✋ How a blue folder about EFT sat filed away in her house for three years before she opened it

🧠 What attempt survivors consistently report: that they didn't want to die, they wanted the pain to stop, and that many describe going offline entirely

⚠️ Why the word "prevention" lands so painfully on survivors who already believe they failed

👂 What people who have attempted say would have helped most, and why unsolicited advice isn't it

🔄 How childhood and generational programming shapes what you believe about suicide before you ever lose anyone

⏳ The seven-year timeline that shows up in the research, and why Jayne refuses to treat it as a sentence

✨ Soul plans and the strange carve-out even spiritual communities make for suicide, which Jayne and I both push back on

📰 What happened when Jayne wrote Brandon's obituary and named how he died, including the hundreds of messages that followed

😢 Permission to cry, and where most of us learned we weren't allowed to

One line from Jayne has stayed with me since we recorded: she doesn't believe suicide is a choice, but she is certain healing is one.

We also talk about something I say often on this show. My daughter Shayna passed at 15, and people call that a life cut short. Jayne looks at Brandon, who started a landscaping business at age 10 and filled a funeral home with people from every corner of his life, and sees a mission completed. Neither of us thinks the manner of someone's passing gets to define the whole of who they were.

About Jayne Madigan

Jayne is a certified neuropsychotherapist, master EFT practitioner, energy medicine specialist, and suicide bereavement clinician. She works with survivors of suicide loss worldwide through private virtual sessions, workshops, and free support groups. Her communities are intentionally private, because so many survivors are still not able to say out loud what happened to them.

She works primarily with women, though she takes men as well, and she offers free discovery sessions. She's also clear that she works with people who can't afford to pay.

Upcoming workshop: a writing and emotions workshop with Carla Fine, beginning June 9

What part of this conversation landed hardest for you?

If you've lost someone to suicide, I'd like to know what people got wrong when they tried to comfort you, and what actually helped. If you've been carrying a loss you've never named out loud, this is a safe place to say it.

What if the grief you're carrying reaches back further than this one lifetime? In this episode, I talk with Michelle Brock, a past life regression specialist, psychic medium, and spiritual life coach based in New York City. This one got personal. Michelle recently guided me through my own past life regression, and we open up what that experience was like, what surfaced, and what it healed.

Michelle's path into this work began with her own loss. Her mother passed when she was two years old. Years later, a single regression with Dr. Brian Weiss gave her something she describes as fifteen years of therapy in thirty minutes. That moment cracked her world open and set her on a twenty-year journey of helping others remember who they were before this life.

We talk honestly about the questions a lot of us carry. Are past lives real? Can they actually ease grief? Will you lose control if you let someone guide you inward? And why does the idea of reincarnation show up in nearly every culture on earth, including inside the Bible before it was edited out?

Then I share my own regression: the Buster Brown shoes I was wearing at age three, a life that felt historically off, and a life as a Native American that brought me to tears in a way I couldn't fully explain.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How a past life regression can bring movement to grief that feels stuck
  • Why hypnosis and meditation are far more alike than most people assume, and how you stay in control the entire time
  • The surprising history of reincarnation in early Christianity and the Council of Nicaea
  • The different "clairs," and why knowing or feeling something is just as valid as seeing it
  • Why the point of a past life memory is never the history. It's what you carry home and use today.

Michelle's core message stayed with me long after we stopped recording. When you understand that you are a soul who has lived many lives, you start to see other people that way too. As she puts it, you are another me. That single shift, she believes, is how we move toward real compassion and unity. About Michelle Brock

Michelle Brock is a past life regression specialist, psychic medium, and spiritual life coach. She has studied spirituality, shamanism, meditation, divination, astrology, and energy medicine across traditions from five continents. She is the author of Who Do You Think You Are? An Interactive Journey Through Your Past Lives and Into Your Best Future, an interactive guide filled with journaling exercises and meditations to help you connect with your own past lives, whoever you are and wherever you're starting from.

You walk into a room and you know who is upset before anyone opens their mouth. You come home from a store you were only in for forty minutes and you have nothing left. Your friends bring you their pain because you are the one who can hold it, and afterward you are the one lying on the couch.

If any of that sounds like your life, this conversation is for you.

Lisa Campion has spent a career helping sensitive people stop drowning in what they absorb. In this episode she breaks down empath energy protection into something you can actually practice, starting today, in your car in the parking lot.

We talk about what an empath really is, why the world tells sensitive kids something is wrong with them, and how the same wiring that exhausts you is the thing that makes you good at the work you were called to do.

Then we go into energy vampires. The predatory ones, the victim vampires, the situational ones any of us can become when life knocks us flat. Lisa also names the part most people skip: a depleted empath who never learned to say no often becomes the biggest drain in the room.

What we cover:

  • The difference between feeling empathy and being an empath, and why the distinction changes everything
  • The three fundamentals of energy hygiene: grounding, clearing, and shielding
  • Lisa's practice before walking into a big box store, and the version you can do in a restroom in ninety seconds
  • Why empaths are called into hospice, teaching, nursing, and coaching, and why those fields burn them out
  • Energy vampires: how they hook you, why they find you, and what to do about it
  • The resentment inventory, a simple exercise that shows you exactly where your boundaries have failed
  • The empath trap: saying yes because you cannot face the other person's reaction
  • The first question to ask when a strong feeling hits out of nowhere: is this mine?
  • Refilling your tank with play, creativity, nature, and source instead of pulling from other people

About Lisa Campion

Lisa Campion is a psychic, Reiki master, and the best-selling author of The Art of Psychic Reiki, Energy Healing for Empaths, Awakening Your Psychic Abilities, and The Psychic Awakening Journal. Her fifth book, Sacred Reparenting, arrives in December. She is the founder of Quantum Lightwave Healing and has spent more than 25 years working with clients, blending psychic work, therapy training, and energy healing. Her mission, in her own words, is to build an army of healers.

Barbra Banner didn't set out to become a medium. It found her — through flying clocks, flickering lights, and orbs that showed up in her audition tapes, all within the span of a few days. What she didn't know then was that she was stepping into a gift that had quietly run through her family for generations.

But before any of that, Barbra spent 35 years showing up for people in the worst moments of their lives — on crisis hotlines, in hospital emergency rooms, and with the LA Crisis Response Team, supporting grieving families at the scene of a loved one's passing. Looking back, it was all training for the work she does now.

In this conversation, we talk about the signs from loved ones who passed that most people miss (and how to actually recognize them), what trance mediumship really feels like, why grief and laughter aren't opposites, and what it's really like on the other side. We also get into the guilt and blame that quietly break families apart after a loss — and why it doesn't have to be that way.

About Barbra Banner
Barbra is a certified medium whose gift emerged during the pandemic after a string of unmistakable paranormal experiences. Before mediumship, she spent decades in advertising, and volunteered for 14 years on crisis hotlines, in hospital ERs, and with the LA Crisis Response Team.

Connect with Barbra:

🔗 Social links (Instagram, TikTok, and more): available directly on her website

Key Topics Covered
✨ How Barbra's mediumship gift emerged almost overnight
✨ Her 35 years in crisis intervention and how it prepared her for this work
✨ What trance mediumship is and what it feels like
✨ How to recognize the signs your loved ones are already sending you
✨ The rigorous, blind-testing process behind medium certification
✨ Soul contracts, free will, and why we choose our life lessons
✨ Guilt, blame, and why they hold back the grieving process
✨ What loved ones are actually doing on the other side

💜 What resonated with you most in this episode? Have you had a sign from a loved one that you brushed off before realizing what it was? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

This week, we lost one of the true pioneers of near-death research. PMH Atwater passed away, and as a tribute to her, I'm re-releasing the very first interview I ever recorded with her back in 2019 — before she knew who I was, before I knew what I was doing, and before I understood what a gift those three conversations would turn out to be.

If you've ever wondered what death actually feels like, whether thoughts are things, or how a person survives dying not once but three times in a single year — this episode is for you.

PMH interviewed nearly 5,000 near-death experiencers over more than four decades. In this conversation, she doesn't just tell you what she found in other people's stories. She tells you her own.

In this episode, you'll hear:

✨ How PMH's three near-death experiences in 1977 — January 2nd, January 4th, and March 29th — nearly destroyed her body while completely rebuilding her understanding of reality

✨ The "litany against fear" she adapted from Dune and chanted by the hour to survive her recovery — and why she's sharing it with you

✨ Her encounter with Elizabeth Kübler-Ross at O'Hare Airport that launched her research career — with no university, no funding, no roadmap

✨ What she means when she says "thoughts are things," and how she came to that conclusion while dying

✨ The voice that told her, "You are to do the research. One book for each death" — and what that meant for the rest of her life

✨ Why she made the film As You Die, and why the Catholic Church stepped in to help distribute it

A few lines that will stay with you:

"Fear is the mind killer. It is the little death. I will pass through my fear. It will go around me and through me. And when it is gone, I will remain.""When you die, you don't become someone else than you were. You are.""Any death in a way is an opening to something else... And if we embrace that, then it can be joyful."

About PMH Atwater

PMH Atwater began researching near-death experiences in 1978, becoming one of the founding figures in the field alongside Raymond Moody. Over more than 40 years, she interviewed close to 5,000 adult and child experiencers and authored nearly 20 books, including Coming Back to Life, Future Memory, Beyond the Light, and I Died Three Times in 1977 — The Complete Story. She lectured at the United Nations, appeared on Larry King Live and Geraldo, and remained a leading voice in near-death studies until her passing.

Learn more about her work at pmhatwater.com.

What resonated with you in this one? I'd love to hear which part of PMH's story stayed with you. Drop a comment below or reach out — I read every one.

If this episode moved you, please share it. PMH spent her life making sure these stories didn't get lost. The least we can do is keep passing them on.

You've been listening. You're doing the work. But there's still this feeling that you're circling the same place.

Maybe you've thought about working with me one-on-one. Maybe something's held you back.

I get that. And I want you to know there's still a place for you.

What if the word "coach" isn't big enough for what grief actually needs?

In this conversation, Dina Bell-Laroche walks me through the journey that took her from a devastated 29-year-old — grieving her younger sister Tracy, who passed from a rare cancer while pregnant with her first child — to becoming one of the clearest voices in grief and loss literacy today. We talk about why she moved away from calling herself a "grief coach," what a grief doula actually does, and how a disconnected rotary phone in a garden in Japan became the inspiration for a project she's now bringing to a hospice near Ottawa.

This one will change the way you think about "getting over" a loss — and about ranking your grief against anyone else's.

  • Why Dina moved from "grief coach" to "grief doula," and what that shift means
  • Disenfranchised grief, and why sibling loss so often goes unacknowledged
  • Why our culture ranks losses against each other — and why that hierarchy needs to go
  • Talking to children honestly about death
  • The story behind the Wind Phone, and Dina's new Wind Phone project at a hospice in Ottawa
  • What the Grief Companion Program actually looks like

What resonated with you? Have you ever felt like your grief wasn't "bad enough" to talk about? Drop a comment and let's talk about it.

You've been listening. You're doing the work. But there's still this feeling that you're circling the same place.

I get that. And I want you to know there's still a place for you.

All of it, pay what you want. You decide what it's worth. Nobody gets turned away because of money.

What if the worst day of your life is also the doorway to who you were always meant to be?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Nico Martens for one of the most personal conversations I've had on the show. Nico and I met about 11 years ago, right after my daughter Shayna passed. Our mutual friend Gini was coming to Shayna's service, and Nico told her Shayna had already visited him. That's how our friendship began, and Nico walked me through some of the darkest days of my life.

Nico was a classically trained electromechanical engineer who had no use for anything that couldn't be measured. Then his mother got cancer in Belgium and chose euthanasia so she could be fully conscious when she passed. Sitting beside her in that hospital broke his heart and his entire framework for reality at the same time.

What came next was a years-long awakening that took him from skeptic to consciousness educator. We talk about the five specific predictions his mother gave him after she passed that he could not possibly have known. We get into why your subconscious runs 90% of your daily life and why willpower alone will never change it. And we explore subtle energy, sacred sites, and the body wisdom that mainstream science still won't touch.

If you have ever felt like grief was reshaping who you are at the foundation, this conversation will give you language for what is happening to you.

What We Cover:

🌱 How Nico's mother's passing cracked open his materialist worldview

🔮 The five predictions from his passed mother that proved consciousness survives

🧠 Why your subconscious mind runs the show and how to work with it

🦆 What animals know about releasing trauma that humans have forgotten

✨ Manifesting through your vibrational signature, not just positive thinking

👁️ The unchanging awareness that has been with you since you were born

🗼 Cosmic Towers, biogeometry, and the science of subtle energy

🌳 Why nature is the ultimate teacher for navigating grief

About Nico Martens:

Nico Martens is a consciousness educator, speaker, and guide in emotional integration and inner transformation. His work bridges science, subtle energy, and grounded spiritual practice, helping people move from suppression and survival into true integration and embodied presence.

He created the Mind Body Atlas, a remarkable resource that maps the emotional root patterns behind physical symptoms. Originally trained as an electromechanical engineer, Nico now brings together the rigor of a scientific mind with decades of study in hypnosis, Taoist practice, and biogeometry to help people rebuild themselves after life's breaking points.

Finding the Will to Recover: Nick Prefontaine on Running Out of the Hospital After Doctors Said He Never Would

At 14, Nick Prefontaine caught the edge of his snowboard going off the biggest jump in the terrain park — and that was the last thing he remembered. He woke up in a world where doctors had already told his parents he might never walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 90 days later, he ran out of the hospital.

In this conversation, Nick takes us inside the recovery the motivational posters never show you. We talk about the mother who refused to let a hopeless prognosis be spoken over her unconscious son, the inner voice that whispered you're going to run out of the hospital, and the STEP system — Support, Trust, Energy, Persistence — that he didn't learn from a textbook but built from inside his own crisis.

If you're standing at a starting line you never asked for, wondering whether you have what it takes to get back up, Nick's story is a hand reaching back to pull you forward.

About Nick Prefontaine

Nick is a three-time bestselling author and nationally recognized speaker, named one of the top motivational speakers by Yahoo Finance. He's the founder of Common Goal, where he works with people in the middle of trauma, crisis, and life-altering challenges — helping them not just get through it, but thrive on the other side. He also runs a family real estate business buying and selling homes creatively.

What we cover:

  • The day of the accident and the "coincidences" that saved his life
  • Why his parents shielded him from the doctors' prognosis — and how that shaped his recovery
  • The STEP system: Support, Trust, Energy, Persistence
  • The inner voice that became his common goal, and what Nick now believes that voice is
  • Losing his voice for nearly a decade, and what persistence looked like day by day
  • The single moment of doubt he allowed himself — and his mother's answer
  • Making a full recovery: marathons, snowboarding again, and what he carries forward

What if the patterns that keep you stuck aren't punishment — they're an invitation?

Liane Marie Lambert was 27 years old, living in London, when she looked the wrong way crossing the street and was struck by a double-decker bus. She walked out of the hospital three days later — and began a journey that would take her from lost and broken to ascension coach, energy alchemist, and bestselling author.

In this episode, Liane unpacks two of the most misunderstood concepts in spiritual life: karma and dharma. She explains why karma isn't a cosmic penalty system, what the Law of Karmic Entanglement means for the patterns you can't seem to escape, and how the shift from 3D to 5D consciousness is less about thinking positive thoughts and more about doing the real inner work.

This is a conversation about breaking cycles, reclaiming your power, and discovering that you were never as stuck as you thought.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Liane's near-death experience and the dark night of the soul that followed
  • What karma and dharma actually mean — and how they differ
  • The Law of Karmic Entanglement and why some people never seem to face consequences
  • Why you're already a master manifestor (and what's blocking you)
  • The difference between 3D, 4D, and 5D consciousness
  • Tower moments, soul contracts, and how the universe pushes us to evolve
  • Practical steps to clear karma and raise your vibration

About Liane Marie Lambert:
Liane is an ascension coach, energy alchemist, karma/dharma activator, and bestselling author of Karma to Dharma: A New Age Guide to Becoming Superhuman — now available as an audiobook narrated by Liane herself. She works with individuals one-on-one and through her 9-week transformation course to help people move from karmic cycles into dharmic living.

We tend to think of grief as something we feel — a heaviness in the heart, a fog in the mind. But what if grief is also something we store, physically, in the body? And what if the breath you take without thinking could be the very thing that sets it free?

In this episode, I talk with Kurtis Lee Thomas — the "Man from the Stars" — about a path to healing that didn't begin in a wellness studio, but in suffering. A five-year stomach condition no doctor could diagnose. The loss of his brother to gun violence. A 2 a.m. encounter with a medium at a gas station that cracked his worldview wide open.

What Kurtis found on the other side of that pain is a practice he calls humanity's original medicine. We explore why talk therapy can only reach so far, what actually happens when the breath quiets the mind's inner critic, and why grief in particular responds to this work like almost nothing else.

If you've done all the "right" things and still feel something stuck inside you, this conversation offers a different doorway — and a lot of hope.

About Kurtis Lee Thomas

Kurtis Lee Thomas is the founder of the global wellness movement Breathwork Detox and Chairman of the Just Breathe Foundation, which has partnered with Nike, NASA, and others to bring mental health solutions to those who need them most. A #1 best-selling author and corporate mindfulness trainer, his work has been featured on the Today Show and Bloomberg, and he was voted the #1 employee well-being provider of 2023. He's the author of Breathwork Detox: How to Thrive in the Age of Anxiety and The World Is Yours: The Secrets Behind The Secret.

What We Cover

  • Why grief lives in the body — and the specific place the emotion of loss gets stored
  • What really happens in a breathwork session, and why roughly 60% of people end up crying
  • The mystery illness that no test could explain — and what finally moved it
  • The science of "transient hypofrontality": how breath quiets the inner critic and opens up clarity
  • Why breathwork has no barriers to entry, unlike meditation and yoga
  • The TED Talk that got banned for calling breathwork "the original medicine"
  • Starseeds, light workers, and the sense that something is shifting in our world
  • Letting go to let in: the airplane-runway secret behind grief, manifesting, and freedom

What if your body isn't broken — it's trying to tell you something?

That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Inna Segal, one of the world's leading voices in energy medicine and body-mind healing. Inna's story didn't begin in a classroom or a clinic. It began in a body that was suffering — chronic back pain, psoriasis, digestive illness — and a loss so devastating it brought everything to a halt: the death of a stillborn child at age 20.

What happened next changed the course of her life, and has since helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide understand what their bodies are actually saying.

In this episode, Inna and Brian explore the hidden language of physical symptoms, the way grief and trauma embed themselves in the body across generations, and what it actually looks like to heal from the inside out.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • How Inna healed chronic back pain and psoriasis through self-inquiry and emotional release — with no formal technique
  • The chiropractor who told her "your body wants to be stuck" — and why that fury became her turning point
  • The angelic vision she had after losing her child, and how it shaped her spiritual path
  • How she discovered she could see into other people's bodies — and the first time it was confirmed
  • The astral body, the etheric body, and why physical symptoms often originate somewhere else entirely
  • Ancestral grief: how her grandmother's Holocaust survival lived in Inna's digestive system across generations
  • Why grief that isn't felt gets stored — and what happens when you finally let it move
  • How Inna processed the loss of her grandmother by finding her qualities in strangers across America
  • What makes The Secret Language of Your Body different from every other body-mind book
  • Her masterclasses and the Awaken the Healer Within program

About Inna Segal:

Inna Segal is a pioneer in energy medicine and human consciousness who has spent over 25 years helping people heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Her bestselling book The Secret Language of Your Body has sold over a million copies and been translated into 27 languages. She works with trauma survivors, doctors, psychologists, and elite athletes worldwide.

The casseroles arrive. The flowers fill the house. For a few weeks, people show up.

And then they don't.

For most grieving people, the silence that follows the funeral is one of the loneliest parts of loss — and one of the least talked about. In this episode, Brian sits down with Kelly Edmondson, a trauma nurse, grief counselor, and Shining Light mother who lost her son Darius on January 3rd, 2023. Kelly spent years delivering devastating news to families in the ER. She thought she understood grief. Then it happened to her.

What she discovered — in the gap between clinical knowledge and lived experience — became the foundation for Timely Presence, a year-long grief support service that sends meaningful, curated gifts on the days that hit the hardest: the first birthday, the first Mother's Day, the first wedding anniversary without your person.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever wanted to show up for someone grieving but didn't know how — and for anyone who has felt the world move on while they were still standing in the wreckage.

In this episode:

  • How Kelly's son Darius lived — and what his life continues to mean
  • What a career in trauma nursing teaches you about grief that lived experience still catches you off guard
  • How to deliver heartbreaking news with compassion and clarity
  • Why people go silent around grievers — and why silence does more damage than an imperfect word
  • What not to say (and what actually helps)
  • How Timely Presence fills the gap in grief support after the funeral
  • The first gift Kelly ever sent — and the prisms it left dancing on a wall

About Kelly Edmondson

Kelly Edmondson is a nurse, grief counselor, and the founder of Timely Presence — a year-long grief gift service designed to show up for the bereaved on the dates that matter most throughout the first year of loss. Drawing from her background in trauma care and her own journey through child loss, Kelly created a service that didn't exist before: one that remembers, so the people around you don't have to carry it alone.

What if the people you love aren't as far away as they seem?

For more than two decades, Dr. Irene Blinston has been quietly studying something most psychologists won't touch — an ancient Greek practice called the psychomanteum.

Grievers sit in a darkened room with a tilted mirror and open themselves to contact with the other side. The research is staggering: 92% of participants experienced a measurable reduction in grief symptoms, and the relief held for months afterward.

In this conversation, Dr. Blinston and I go somewhere most grief conversations never go. We talk about what happens when ancient wisdom and modern psychology stop arguing and start working together. She shares her doctoral research on adults who saw corporeal apparitions as children — including a thirteen-year-old in South Africa who found himself standing beside Jesus after a car struck his bicycle. She tells me about the woman whose only child was killed in a cycling accident, who walked into the psychomanteum devastated and walked out transformed, carrying a message from her daughter: "You feel the only way to stay connected is through pain. But we're always connected by love."

I got chills. You will too.

We also explore:

🪞 What a psychomanteum is and how the ancient Greeks used it as an Oracle of the Dead
📊 The 92% grief symptom reduction Dr. Blinston documented in her research
👁️ Why corporeal apparitions are so rare — and what makes them different from typical signs
💞 Why 60 to 75% of grieving spouses have after-death contact but won't talk about it
⚖️ How "scientism" became its own dogma and what it's costing grievers today
🌟 Dr. Blinston's own childhood apparition of Jesus and her years of "night school" dreams
🚪 Why she believes the mirror is a portal — and why you cover it when you're done

About Dr. Irene Blinston:

Dr. Irene Blinston is a transpersonal psychologist, independent researcher, and one of the rare voices in mental health who takes the sacred seriously as science. She holds a PhD in transpersonal psychology and is the author of Gazing into the Afterlife: Using the Mystery of the Psychomanteum to Heal Grief in All Its Forms. Her research spans childhood religious apparitions, mirror gazing as a grief intervention, and the convergence between ancient wisdom and modern psychology. She is developing a certification program to train new psychomanteum facilitators.

What happens when the person you've loved since childhood is suddenly gone — and you're left at 29 with three small children and no idea how to be an adult without them?

Courtney Pray Duke doesn't answer that question with easy comfort. She answers it with her life. Widowed after her husband Andrew was killed in a cycling accident, Courtney walked through the kind of loss that rewrites everything — and came out the other side not unscathed, but transformed.

In this episode, Courtney and Brian explore what grief and faith after losing a spouse actually looks like — not the sanitized version, but the raw, fog-filled, one-step-at-a-time reality. They find real common ground across their different frameworks (Courtney's deep Christian faith and Brian's evidence-based consciousness research) because at the end of the day, they're both after the same thing: hope that holds up.

In this episode we cover:

  • Who Andrew was — the childhood friend who became her soulmate and the father of her children
  • The moment the world went black and white — and the long fog that followed
  • How faith shifted from head knowledge to a true lifeline in the darkest season
  • The jagged, non-linear nature of grief and why there's no "right" timeline
  • Signs and synchronicities that made her feel less alone in the wilderness
  • Whether it's possible — and okay — to love again after losing a spouse
  • Raising children who remember their father and keeping his memory alive
  • How her pain became the foundation for her purpose and her new book

About Courtney Pray Duke

Courtney Pray Duke is an author, speaker, and widow who was widowed at 29 after her husband Andrew was killed in a cycling accident, leaving her with three young children. In the years since, she has built a life and a ministry centered on helping others find hope after devastating loss. Her newly released book, And She Got Up: Shattered by Loss, Restored by Jesus, tells her story with the kind of honesty that only comes from someone who has actually been through the fire.

Something is coming. And if you've been feeling it — that low hum of there's more to this than we've been told — this episode is going to land differently for you.

Rachel Corpus reached out with a message she says she's been receiving her entire life, piece by piece, from the angelic realm. A message about humanity's consciousness awakening, UAP disclosure, and what happens when the veil between the seen and unseen is lifted — all at once, whether we're ready or not.

Brian brings his honest skepticism to the table. Rachel brings the transmission. What unfolds is one of the most expansive, challenging, and ultimately hopeful conversations ever on Grief 2 Growth.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • The angelic message Rachel has been holding for decades — and why the time to share it is now
  • What UAP disclosure really means for human consciousness (and why it's bigger than UFOs)
  • The "world government" frequency plan — and why an awakened population can't be controlled
  • Why Rachel believes the coming shift will empower rather than terrify us
  • The corruption inside organized religion and how "big God vs. small God" explains everything
  • What Jesus actually said — versus what Paul wrote, what the church kept, and what got edited out
  • How to turn within first, quiet the mental noise, and access Source directly
  • The mind-body-spirit connection and why you are already worthy of healing

About Rachel Corpus:

Rachel Corpus is a channel, medium, teacher, and angel incarnate who has been psychic since childhood. She had her first near-death experience at age four and has spent her life deepening her capacity to serve as a conscious channel — communicating with angels, ascended masters, loved ones on the other side, and high-vibrational extraterrestrial beings. She is a former pastor and host of the Angel Talk podcast. Her new call-in show, Ask the Angel, launches May 18th on the BBS Network.

What if the people who've spent the most time at the threshold of death have something to teach the rest of us about how to live?

Christa McDonald has spent more than 20 years as a hospice nurse, watching thousands of people take their final breaths. What she's witnessed has reshaped everything she believes about death, grief, connection, and the soul. In this conversation, she brings that hard-won wisdom straight to you — and some of it will unsettle you in the best possible way.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How Christa's calling found her — from candy striper at 13 to hospice nurse, EMT, and founder of a national bereavement community
  • Why she believes the way you live is the way you will die — and what that means for the choices you're making right now
  • What terminal agitation really is, and why the soul has more to do with a difficult death than morphine ever could
  • The myth of closure — and why "moving on" may be one of the most harmful things we say to grieving people
  • How to maintain a genuine continuing bond with someone you've lost
  • The power of presence — Christa's #1 lesson from her book and her career
  • Broken heart syndrome: what it is, how real it is, and who's most at risk
  • What shared death experiences look like from the bedside
  • How Christa's stepfather's passing became the catalyst for GLADD — and why she says we need to stop being sad and mad and start being GLADD

About Christa McDonald:

Christa McDonald is a hospice nurse, death doula, soul worker, speaker, and the founder of GLADD (Grieving Loss After Death and Dying) — the world's first international online bereavement community. She is the author of Eight Lessons Dying Has Taught Me and runs a hospice home dedicated to transforming the way we approach death and dying. Her coaching practice, Soul Worker, helps people heal on a soul level — in life and at the end of it.

What if death didn't end the conversation?

When Dawn Baumann Brunke's husband Bob died suddenly in September 2024, she had 20 years of experience communicating with animals across the veil. But nothing fully prepared her for losing her partner of 33 years. What happened in the eight weeks that followed became her most extraordinary book yet — Talks with Bob: A True Story of Love, Death and Life in the Afterlife.

Every morning, Dawn would settle in with her coffee, open her laptop, and keep talking to Bob. And Bob kept answering. What he shared from the other side — about his passing, about what the afterlife actually looks like, about love and expansion and time — is tender, surprising, and deeply hopeful.

This episode is especially close to my heart. I work with widows and widowers every day, and the fears they carry are real. Is my loved one okay? Do they still think about me? Will I ever feel close to them again? Dawn's story doesn't just offer comfort — it offers evidence. And I moved her up months in my booking queue the moment I finished this book.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What Bob experienced at the moment of his death — and why he didn't suffer
  • The "bridge" between the living and the dead, and how you can meet your loved one there
  • Why your loved ones are still with you, still growing, and haven't forgotten you
  • Parallel lives, alternate timelines, and the eternal NOW
  • How to open yourself to connection — even if you're not a medium or animal communicator

About Dawn Baumann Brunke: Dawn Baumann Brunke is an author, animal communicator, and dream enthusiast living in Alaska. She is the author of 10 books exploring consciousness, animal communication, and the nature of reality. Her latest, Talks with Bob, documents eight weeks of daily conversations with her late husband from the afterlife. A second book in the series is coming within weeks of this recording.

How do we hold love in one hand and suffering in the other — without breaking? In this beautiful and soul-stretching conversation, Brian sits down with Zach Beach to explore the deep connection between our capacity to love and our capacity to hurt. Zach brings wisdom from spiritual traditions, psychology, and lived experience to illuminate why grief is not something to “fix,” but something to honor.

This episode is rich with insights on compassion, presence, mindfulness, and the human journey through loss. If you're grieving, supporting someone in grief, or walking your own spiritual path, this one will speak directly to your heart.

🧘‍♂️ What You’ll Learn

  • Why love and suffering are intertwined, and why this matters for healing
  • How compassion differs from empathy — and why compassion energizes instead of draining us
  • The dangers of “premature problem solving” in grief
  • How mindfulness helps us “suffer well” and stay grounded
  • Wisdom from the Buddha, Jesus, and mystical traditions on pain and presence
  • Practical ways to support someone who’s grieving (beyond platitudes)
  • Brian’s personal insights on transforming the darkest moments into growth

Have you ever felt like your emotions are running your life—despite your best efforts to control them? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute and co-developer of EmRes (Emotional Resolution). Together, we explore the groundbreaking difference between regulating emotions and truly resolving them.

Cedric shares how emotional pain is not a life sentence, but a loop the brain is predicting over and over—and how learning to sit with our sensations can rewire those predictions for good.

This episode isn’t just informative—it’s transformational.

🧠 What We Talk About:

  • Why traditional emotional regulation may be keeping you stuck
  • The surprising science behind how your brain predicts emotions
  • How trauma embeds itself through dissociation
  • What “interoception” is and why it’s a game-changer
  • A simple, body-based method to dissolve emotional charge
  • The role of subconscious tension in your day-to-day reactions
  • How MRAS helps with anxiety, anger, and even chronic physical symptoms
  • Why grief must be felt—but guilt, shame, and anger don’t have to stay
  • How to reconnect to your grief in a sacred, healing way

When we think of grief, we often picture death. But what about the silent grief that comes from illness — the kind that alters your identity, steals your energy, and isolates you from the world?

In this powerful episode, I speak with Brenda Snow, a woman who turned a life-changing diagnosis into a movement that’s touched millions. After being dismissed by doctors and told her symptoms were “all in her head,” Brenda found herself at rock bottom — until a single moment with her young daughter re-ignited her will to fight.

Now the founder of Snow Companies and author of Diagnosed: The Essential Guide to Navigating the Patient Journey, Brenda shares how she walked through grief, reclaimed her identity, and built a life of purpose.

We cover:

  • The “unnamed grief” of chronic illness
  • Why hope is essential — even before a diagnosis
  • How Brenda went from patient to pioneer
  • The power of storytelling in healing and advocacy
  • What the healthcare system must do better
  • Rebuilding identity when your body feels like a stranger
  • The difference between giving up and accepting what is

I was especially moved by Brenda’s metaphor of taking MS “by the hand.” It reminded me of the core truth of Grief 2 Growth: we’re not buried—we’re planted. 🌱

“Our time on Earth is just one little page in a never-ending story.” – Charlie Bynar

After the tragic loss of her only child, 16-year-old Isaac, Charlie Bynar’s world fell apart. What followed was a breathtaking journey through unimaginable grief, mysterious signs, and undeniable communication from the other side. In this deeply moving conversation, Charlie and Brian explore love that doesn’t die — and what it means to forgive, to trust, and to believe again.

Charlie went from skeptic to spiritual seeker after receiving repeated dream visitations, unmistakable signs, and life-changing readings with mediums — including world-renowned Allison DuBois of the TV show Medium. Her memoir, Through the Darkness: A Story of Love from the Other Side, isn’t just a book — it’s a lifeline for grieving parents and a beacon for anyone questioning what happens after death.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The medical negligence that changed Charlie’s life forever
  • The stunning signs Isaac gave after passing
  • What it’s like to connect with a child in Spirit
  • Forgiving injustice, even murder
  • The science of empathy and psychopathy
  • How Charlie turned grief into education and purpose

Whether you’ve lost a child, are questioning the afterlife, or are looking for hope in the darkest of places — this episode is for you.

  • 🌱 How Melissa transformed guilt into growth through mindfulness and creativity

What happens when your entire belief system unravels—and something deeper begins to rise?

In this moving conversation, host Brian D. Smith welcomes back Effie Linke, a spiritual medium whose journey from Greek Orthodox tradition to intuitive channeling was anything but predictable.

Effie didn’t seek out a spiritual awakening—it found her. Through heartbreak, resistance, and a fateful reading that cracked her wide open, Effie was thrust into a new reality. One where spirit spoke, healing came from within, and her purpose became undeniable.

If you're navigating your own spiritual awakening after loss, this episode offers hope, guidance, and a powerful reminder: the pain doesn't mean you're broken—it means you're opening.

💡 What You'll Learn:

  • The surprising moment that sparked Effie’s spiritual awakening
  • How loss and confusion can be signs of transformation
  • The emotional toll of “coming out” as a medium
  • The key differences between psychics and mediums
  • Why mediumship is about growth—not just gifts
  • How to handle spiritual loneliness and find your tribe

🧘‍♀️ Is This You?

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You've felt more intuitive since a loss
  • You’re questioning your beliefs or religious upbringing
  • You want to understand your spiritual gifts
  • You feel isolated on your awakening path
  • You're curious about what real mediumship looks like

What happens when your soulmate isn't a romantic partner — but your best friend — and they're suddenly gone?

In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with writer, performer, and podcast host Hannah Rumsey to explore the often-overlooked pain of grieving the loss of a friend. After losing her friend Lauren in a tragic accident, Hannah found herself in a grief no one seemed to understand — one without rituals, recognition, or even language.

Through storytelling, personal reflection, and a profound spiritual experience, Hannah turned her heartbreak into Friends Missing Friends, a community and podcast for those who have loved and lost a friend.

🧠 We talk about:

  • Why society often dismisses friend grief
  • The power of platonic love and chosen family
  • How creativity and storytelling can help us heal
  • What not to say to someone who’s grieving a friend
  • Signs from the other side — and how they help us stay connected

Whether you’ve lost a childhood best friend, a soul friend, or someone you drifted from before they passed — this episode is for you.

This episode is different.
It’s tender. It’s raw. And it’s something I feel deeply called to share.

A grieving parent recently whispered to me, “Maybe God took my child because I strayed.” That sentence — that pain — has echoed in my heart ever since.

In this special episode, I speak directly to that voice inside so many of us… the one shaped by fear-based theology, wondering if loss is somehow our fault. Wondering if we’re being punished. Wondering if God is angry.

We explore the lies that grief can trigger — and the deeper truths that can begin to set us free.

You’ll hear about soul paths, spiritual guilt, parental love, and what it really means to believe in a loving God.
If you’ve ever carried the weight of “what if” in your loss — or walked beside someone who has — this is for you.

🔔 Content Note:

Gentle reflections on infant and child loss, spiritual trauma, and grief.Tender but ultimately loving and redemptive in tone.

In this deeply moving episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian Smith sits down with Deb Strebel, founder of Lee Alexander & Co., to explore the rarely discussed experience of sibling loss — and how creativity can be a powerful path through grief.

When Deb lost her 15-year-old brother Lee to sudden myocarditis, her world shifted forever. What followed was a painful but transformative journey through trauma, therapy, and eventually purpose. That purpose? Helping others carry love forward through custom, heirloom-quality memorial jewelry.

Together, Brian and Deb explore:

  • 💔 Why sibling grief is uniquely isolating — and often overlooked
  • ⚖️ The pressure of being the “only child left” — and the emotional impact on family dynamics
  • 🧠 How EMDR therapy helped Deb work through trauma and panic attacks
  • 💍 The story behind Lee Alexander & Co. and the mission to help others preserve legacy
  • 🌱 What it means to find healing — not in forgetting, but in creating something beautiful

This episode is a must-listen for anyone grieving a sibling, navigating sudden loss, or wondering how to turn pain into purpose.

What happens when life cracks you open—and won’t let you go back? Brian talks with Allura Halliwell, a consciousness mentor whose spontaneous out-of-body awakening led to seven years of deep integration. We explore core wounds (“unloved, unworthy, unknown”), why pain is a portal—not the enemy—and how to stop outsourcing safety by becoming emotionally sovereign.

What You’ll Learn The anatomy of a spontaneous awakening (without physical trauma) * Why integration can be harder than the awakening itself * The Pain Portal*: how to feel emotions somatically (not in story) * “Unloved, Unworthy, Unknown”: the core fractures driving our loops * Emotional sovereignty: ending the chase for external validation * How shifting your inner template rewires relationships

📌 Episode Description:

What happens when you let go of everything—and awaken to who you really are?

In this moving conversation, Brian speaks with Eva Müller, a spiritual teacher and founder of NextElevations.com, about her rapid and life-changing spiritual awakening. After years of pushing through stress and emotional wounds, Eva hit a breaking point—and found her way into beingness.

🌱 In just 3.5 years, Eva experienced multiple awakenings, including Unity Consciousness, as she healed ancestral trauma, grief, and emotional patterns. She now shares energy transmissions that help others awaken and reconnect to the deep stillness and peace within.

This episode is more than a conversation—it’s a transmission in itself.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • How burnout opened the door to Eva’s spiritual awakening
  • What energy transmissions are—and how they heal beyond words
  • The connection between unprocessed trauma, grief, and spiritual stagnation
  • Why motherhood became one of Eva’s deepest teachers
  • How she lives from presence and silence, and what that actually feels like

👉 Don’t miss the guided energy transmission at the end of the episode. Many listeners report feeling shifts even through audio.

In this episode, recorded aboard a cruise ship sailing through the Ionian Sea, I share lessons learned from slowing down, reconnecting with old friends, and experiencing the beauty of Greece, Croatia, and Italy.

You’ll hear about:

  • 🏝️ The breathtaking sights of Santorini, Mykonos, and Venice
  • 🎶 How music united people from all over the world in a ship’s piano bar
  • 🕊️ Reflections on empathy, violence, and finding common ground
  • 🧘 The importance of self-care, slowing down, and “enjoying the ride of life”

✨ Key Takeaway: Life isn’t just about the destination. It’s about living each moment fully — with gratitude, connection, and care for yourself.

🎙️ Lessons From the Aegean

In this special episode, I’m recording from Mykonos, Greece, during a once-in-a-lifetime Mediterranean vacation with some of my dearest friends. If you know me, you know I don’t usually enjoy long trips or being far from home. But this journey has surprised me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Over the past week, I’ve:

  • Faced my fears of being “stuck” at sea for 48 hours.
  • Learned to slow down and enjoy the journey—not just the destination.
  • Witnessed incredible resilience from my friend Lisa, who joined this cruise only five months after the sudden passing of her husband, Mike.
  • Reflected on the strength of friendships that have lasted decades through celebrations, illnesses, grief, and growth.
  • Climbed the 587 steps of Santorini—both a physical and metaphorical reminder of the climbs we all face in life.

As I sit here watching the Aegean Sea, I’m reminded that life is short, unpredictable, and precious. Whether we get five minutes, five years, or fifty years with someone we love, it is all a blessing.

✨ My hope is that this episode encourages you to slow down, savor the journey, and grab every bit of life you can—because the ride itself is the gift

When your child transitions into spirit, nothing is ever the same. In this deeply heartfelt episode, Brian speaks with Betsy Thibaud Stephenson, author of Blackbird: A Mother’s Reflection on Loss, Grief, and Life After Suicide.

Betsy’s son Charlie transitioned at age 21, just eleven weeks after expressing thoughts of self-harm. During that same six-week period, her beloved mother-in-law and family dog also transitioned. Rather than turning away from grief, Betsy faced it head-on—and began writing from her open wound instead of waiting for a scar.

This conversation explores the real grief journey—messy, sacred, and unfiltered.

🔑 Topics Covered:

  • Charlie’s spirit and legacy 💫
  • The emotional weight of suicide grief 🖤
  • Why guilt is almost universal in child loss
  • How grief impacts the body and mind
  • The myth of grieving “the right way”
  • Writing as a tool for survival
  • Allowing space for others’ grief stories
  • Keeping the spirit of our loved ones alive

What if the pain you carry from religion isn’t a personal flaw—but the result of deep emotional and spiritual conditioning?

In this powerful episode of Grief 2 Growth, host Brian D. Smith welcomes Dr. Maurice “Dr. Moe” Turmel, a seasoned spiritual psychologist, trauma survivor, and author of Breaking the Spell of Religion. Together, they explore the profound and often hidden impact of religious trauma—and how to heal from it without losing your faith or spiritual foundation.

Dr. Moe shares his journey growing up in a rigid Catholic environment, his years of emotional repression, and the inner awakening that led him to rediscover joy, self-trust, and a deeper, more personal spirituality. This conversation is not just informative—it’s a lifeline for anyone navigating the pain of deconstruction, spiritual abuse, or faith-based guilt.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How childhood religious indoctrination can create emotional trauma
  • Why some religious teachings undermine self-worth and silence inner wisdom
  • The difference between organized religion and authentic spirituality
  • How inner child work, music, and self-reflection become tools for transformation
  • What it means to be “divine, not defective”—and why that matters

The Email I Almost Ignored — And Why It Changed Everything

Episode Summary

Sometimes the most meaningful reminders of why we do what we do come when we least expect them. In this episode, I share the story of an email I almost deleted—a message buried in my inbox that turned out to be a powerful affirmation of the work I’ve been doing for nearly 500 episodes of Grief 2 Growth.

I open up about what it’s really like to host a podcast in a world obsessed with big numbers and viral moments—how some days it feels like I’m speaking into the void, and why I keep going anyway. You’ll hear about the heart behind Grief 2 Growth, the remarkable guests I’ve had the honor of interviewing, and the personal legacy I’m carrying forward in my own way.

Whether you’re navigating grief, creating something you hope will matter, or simply wondering if the quiet work you’re doing is making a difference—this episode is a reminder that impact is not always measured in millions. Sometimes, it’s measured one heart at a time.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • The story behind the “Top 100 Grief Podcasts” email that caught me by surprise.
  • Why podcasting can sometimes feel like speaking into the void—and how I deal with it.
  • The deeper purpose behind Grief 2 Growth and who it’s for.
  • How the work we do can ripple out in ways we don’t always see.
  • Why one listener’s story can matter more than a thousand downloads.

🔑 Key Topics:

  • 🌱 Trauma as a doorway—not a dead end
  • 🧬 How generational trauma can live in the body
  • 🍃 The role of plant medicines like Ayahuasca in emotional healing
  • 💡 Why understanding pain isn't always necessary to release it
  • 🎯 How to stop carrying the "backpack" of old wounds

💔 About This Episode

What do you do when grief crashes into your life without warning?

In this intimate and emotionally raw conversation, host Brian Smith sits down with Diandra Ford-Wing, an African-American author and sales director who made the courageous decision to pause her life and fully sit with her grief after her mother’s sudden passing.

Together, Brian and Diandra—both of whom have experienced the devastating shock of sudden loss—open up about the moments that shattered them, the signs that gave them hope, and the transformation that comes when we choose to feel deeply rather than move on quickly.

This is more than an interview. It’s two people speaking from their hearts about the mess, the mystery, and the meaning found in mourning.

🕊️ What You'll Hear

  • The moment Diandra got the call that changed everything
  • Why she left her career to process grief on her own terms
  • The powerful symbolism behind the red bird
  • The mystery surrounding her aunt’s death in The Gambia
  • How Brian's daughter Shayna continues to guide his life after death
  • Why grief in the Black community often goes unspoken—and how storytelling breaks that silence
  • A candid discussion about anger, disbelief, and the fog of the first year
  • The surprising connection between Diandra’s mother and her newborn great-niece, Eden

📘 About Diandra's Book: Red Bird

Red Bird began as journal entries written during a sacred pause—and grew into a soul-stirring novel that helps readers explore their own relationship to loss, love, and legacy. It’s a short, powerful read meant to be absorbed in a day or two, but carried with you for a lifetime.

What if your soulmate could still reach you from the other side?

In this unforgettable episode, Brian D. Smith talks with Pam Johnson, a healer, channeler, and co-author of Supernatural Love: A True Story of Life and Love After Death. When her husband Alan passed away unexpectedly on his birthday in 2020, Pam’s heart broke—but it didn’t close. Instead, Alan returned from Spirit with a message: “We’re not done.”

Pam and Alan spent more than 30 years together as mediums, healers, and spiritual teachers. And now, they continue their life’s work—across the veil. Together, they co-authored a book after Alan’s passing, and they now teach others how to maintain interdimensional relationships through their Supernatural Love Academy.

🎧 This episode is a must-listen if you’re:

  • Grieving the loss of a spouse or partner
  • Curious about channeling and after-death communication
  • Wondering if love really can last beyond the physical
  • Seeking hope, healing, and spiritual connection after loss

Pam’s story is a testament to the power of eternal love—and the possibility of continuing our most sacred relationships soul-to-soul.

🔍 Episode Summary:

What if the stories we’ve buried hold the power to heal us? In this deeply personal and moving conversation, Brian D. Smith speaks with Kennerly Clay, author of Letters from East of Nowhere, about the long road to forgiveness, the wounds of parental abandonment, and the unexpected redemption found in decades of handwritten letters.

Kennerly’s father, an alcoholic and long-haul truck driver, was largely absent from her life. But through raw honesty, early sobriety, and years of storytelling, she found a way to forgive—and even to love—the man who shaped her pain.

💬 This episode explores:

  • The power of writing to reclaim your narrative 🖋️
  • How forgiveness frees us, even when others don’t change 🕊️
  • Rediscovering lost love through preserved letters 💌
  • Turning personal trauma into a purposeful message 🌈

You’ll walk away with a new lens on your own past—and perhaps the courage to look at it with more compassion.

👤 Guest: Kennerly Clay

Kennerly is a memoirist, speaker, and storytelling strategist helping others transform personal pain into powerful purpose. Her memoir Letters from East of Nowhere: Daddy’s Words to Live, Drink, and Die By is available now.

From capturing real spirit voices through EVP to experiencing a solid, physical ghost encounter witnessed by multiple people, Daniel shares decades of research that challenge what we think we know about reality.

Together, they dive deep into instrumental transcommunication (ITC), the power of language in shaping our beliefs, and the vital distinction between scientific skepticism and close-minded debunking. Whether you’re grieving, curious, or deeply spiritual, this episode will stir your soul and stretch your mind.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • 🎬 How Daniel went from filmmaking to afterlife exploration
  • 🎤 What EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) tells us about spirit contact
  • 📺 The mysterious origins of video and photographic spirit messages
  • 👻 Daniel’s unforgettable experience with a spirit who physically manifested
  • 🧠 How language limits—and expands—our understanding of consciousness
  • 🔬 Why true science embraces curiosity, not dismissal

Healing Through Connection: Trauma, Awakening & Collective Consciousness w/ Blaise Kennedy

📝 Episode Description:

What if your deepest pain isn’t just yours to bear—but a doorway to connection, growth, and even awakening?

In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian Smith welcomes Blaise Kennedy—a spiritual teacher whose work challenges the solitary nature of personal development. Blaise invites us into a space of deep relational healing, showing us how trauma lives not just in our bodies, but in our families, our ancestry, and the collective fields of consciousness we all share.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a roadmap to healing that reclaims our right to feel with each other, not just for ourselves.

🔍 What You'll Discover:

  • The surprising power of “feeling together”—and why it’s so healing
  • How trauma is passed through generations and collective fields 🧬
  • The myths of rugged individualism in Western culture and spirituality
  • Why men often avoid emotional spaces—and how we can change that 💬
  • How grief, when witnessed, becomes transformational 💔→🌱
  • What younger generations are teaching us about the pursuit of meaning
  • How to access the light you were born to bring into the world ✨

✨ Episode Summary:
What if your deepest grief was actually your greatest opportunity for growth? In this heart-opening conversation, Brian D. Smith sits down with photographer, filmmaker, and former attorney Peter Alessandria to explore how loss, self-doubt, and life’s most painful detours can lead to profound spiritual awakening.

Peter shares his personal transformation—how losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis set him on a path to uncovering his creative gifts, and how his brother’s unexpected passing deepened his spiritual conviction. His documentary, Every Soul Knows, weaves together the voices of over 60 near-death experiencers, mediums, and spiritual teachers—all pointing to a powerful truth: we are so much more than we think we are.

💡 In this episode, we discuss:

  • Peter’s journey from law to photography to filmmaking 🎬
  • How loss and failure can lead to breakthrough moments 🌱
  • What NDEs reveal about the afterlife, soul contracts & reincarnation
  • The life-changing message Peter received after his brother’s death 💔
  • Behind the scenes of the making of Every Soul Knows

What if your grief isn't just your own—but a wound passed down through generations? In this powerful episode, I speak with psychotherapist, author, and IFS lead trainer Tamala Floyd about the healing power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and ancestral wisdom.

Tamala breaks down how parts of ourselves—like the people-pleaser or the inner critic—form in response to trauma, and how they can be lovingly unburdened, not exiled. She also discusses how healing isn’t just personal—it’s generational.

You’ll Learn:
✅ What Internal Family Systems (IFS) is and how it works
✅ How trauma gets “stored” and passed through generations
✅ Why healing your “parts” can transform grief
✅ How your ancestors can become part of your healing team
✅ What “self-energy” is—and why it matters
✅ How stuck grief shows up in the body and nervous system

Whether you're grieving a loss, struggling with emotional triggers, or carrying burdens that feel older than you are—this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, I sit down with David Hulse, a kindred soul whose journey closely mirrors my own—a shift from fear-based religion to love-centered spirituality. As a spiritual guide, teacher, and founder of the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, David has dedicated his life to helping others release limiting beliefs and awaken to a more expansive, compassionate faith.

From his early days in fundamentalist Christianity to discovering the healing power of sound, frequency, and vibration, David’s story is one of transformation, courage, and deep wisdom.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is David’s first-hand experience helping release Oral Roberts’ son’s spirit—a remarkable insight into how religious beliefs can keep souls earthbound.

Whether you’ve struggled with rigid religious teachings, are questioning your beliefs, or are simply curious about a more loving, inclusive spirituality, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

🔥 David’s transformation from fundamentalist Christianity to love-based spirituality
🎶 How sound, frequency, and vibration can be powerful tools for awakening
🤔 The dangers of fear-based religious teachings and how to break free
🌍 The concept of universal reconciliation—does everyone return to God?
📖 How hidden wisdom in the Bible reveals a more inclusive spirituality
🕊️ David’s extraordinary story of releasing Oral Roberts’ son’s spirit
🚪 How to move from religious dogma to a direct experience of the Divine

In this episode, I address a question from a listener named Sandra who was told by mediums that her deceased son was having trouble crossing over due to feelings of guilt. I provide perspectives on this concept, drawing from personal reflections, scientific insights, and philosophical musings about the soul's journey after death.

Key Takeaways:

  • Most people crossover easily when they die and are guided by loved ones or helper spirits (0:45)
  • As grieving loved ones, it's natural to worry about those who have passed away (2:00)
  • Information from mediums should be considered an interpretation filtered through their own expectations (3:15)
  • Some traditions do suggest souls may linger briefly reflecting on their earthly life before moving on (4:00)
  • The rare cases where souls have trouble crossing over can get help and "rehabilitation" in the afterlife (6:30)
  • Our enduring love forms an eternal bridge; send departed loved ones wishes of peace and trust in the wisdom of the universe (8:45)

🎙️ Welcome to another premium episode of the Grief 2 Growth Podcast with your host, Brian Smith. In today's thought-provoking episode, we delve into a topic that has intrigued humanity for centuries: "Do the Dead Sleep?"

🌌 As we embark on this journey, Brian shares insights into various cultural and religious beliefs about the afterlife. From the Jewish concept of Sheol to the Christian views of Paul and the teachings of Jesus, we explore the evolution of these beliefs and what they mean for our understanding of life after death.

🔍 But it's not just about ancient texts and beliefs. Brian takes us through modern perspectives, drawing on near-death experiences and reports from mediums, shedding light on what happens when we transition from this life. Are our loved ones merely 'resting,' or is there more to the afterlife than we traditionally thought?

🌈 The conversation takes an intriguing turn as we discuss the physicality of the afterlife, challenging the notion of it being an ethereal, intangible existence. From enjoying a cigar to playing golf, Brian shares anecdotes and reports that suggest a much more tangible and engaging experience beyond.

🤔 This episode invites us to re-examine our views on death and the afterlife. Brian's reflections, combined with his extensive research and experiences, provide a unique and comforting perspective on what it means to 'rest in peace' or, perhaps more aptly, 'rest in power.'

💬 Join us in this enlightening discussion, and let's share our thoughts and experiences. Are our loved ones aware and active in the afterlife? Is there a period of rest or rehabilitation? Your insights and stories are invaluable to this conversation.

🔗 To be part of our growing community, visit grief2growth.com/community and join the conversation. Let's navigate these profound questions together, finding comfort, hope, and understanding in our shared journey.

🌻 Remember: The journey through grief is a path to growth, and together, we can explore the mysteries of life, death, and what lies beyond.

On this special episode commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Dr. King's remarkable vision for justice and how his legacy continues to guide us. Exploring parallels between figures like Jesus Christ and Dr. King, we discuss how both challenged societal norms and systems of inequality with radical ideals. Just as Jesus provided spiritual salvation, Dr. King fought for equality with the power of nonviolence. We remember that like Jesus, Dr. King knew the danger of the path he walked, which ultimately led to his martyrdom. However, his sacrifice became a catalyst for change.

As we stride towards the metaphorical mountaintop of an equitable society, we must carry Dr. King’s torch forward. His dream requires our commitment, courage and love to keep it alive. Although Dr. King did not reach the promised land he foresaw, his spirit persists to lead us on this journey of continuous striving for justice. We walk this path together, keeping his ideals at the forefront with each step.

In this episode, I reflect openly about losses in my life. I just lost my mother-in-law Margaret on New Year's Day, two weeks ago on Monday. Tomorrow marks another birthday for my daughter Shayna, who would have turned 24. Nearly nine years after her sudden passing, I still think of Shana daily and carry her vividly in my memory.

I promised not to relegate Shayna to the past - to act as if she’s still very much part of my present and future. And while I’ll always wonder who she might have grown into, I acknowledge the uncertainty inherent in any imagined path or parallel reality.

As I support others in my grief counseling practice, I’m occasionally met with the fear that this painful journey could last years. To them, I explain that grief ebbs and flows over a lifetime - but we grow bigger hearts and minds to carry it. My wounds from Shayna will never fully close, yet mostly, I’ve made peace with that “new normal.”

Lately, I've been exploring revolutionary concepts about existence's transient, dream-like nature through thinkers like physicist Tom Campbell and my new friend, Cailín Callahan. I increasingly see this world as illusory - one ephemeral hologram within an infinite multiverse of possible realities. My dreams have become more lucid, infusing my waking life with surreal qualities.

I find perspective by listening to music that speaks to eternal consciousness growth amid impermanent earthly forms - like the song “The End of the Dream.” Our reality may shift radically, but our inner light endures. And just this morning, Shayna and Margaret gave me a little wink through another song.

I’m Brian Smith - thanks for listening.

What if life is just a dream we have yet to awaken from (or awaken within)? My returning guest, Cailín Callahan, provides a fascinating explanation of reality as merely a dream state in my latest grief to growth podcast. Our episode covers material from her newest book, Rise (In Lucidity and Master Anxiety). You can purchase Rise at: https://crackedpotpublications.com

Having had out-of-body experiences, Cailín explains how perception, self-talk, and emotional state shape our experience – even influencing supposed exterior events. Like a lucid dream, we can transform suffering into joy and obstacles into opportunities with an awakened level of consciousness.

By becoming "lucid" observers and wresting control from an undisciplined, reactive mind, we can reach equanimity regardless of external conditions. Distress arises from identification with the body, emotions, and rampant thoughts rather than underlying universal awareness.

Delve into the parallels between dreams versus waking life, escaping "wasted suffering," using challenges for growth, and even consciously transitioning between planes of existence. Expand your self-mastery and spiritual perspective with this profound view of life as a malleable dream open to awakened direction.

Cal will join us to discuss this further. Join the conversation at www.grief2growth.com/community

What would you do if tomorrow was guaranteed to be your last day on Earth?

This soul-searching question gripped Kate Mansur after she lost four friends in shocking deaths. Listen as she shares her journey from paralyzing fear to empowered living as mortality awoke her to what truly matters. After unexpectedly losing four close friends, Kate Mansur found herself gripped with a paralyzing fear of death.

If you've ever longed to lift the veil and understand what lies beyond this earthly realm, this profound wisdom from Frankie Key will open your eyes and heart. Tune in now to glimpse eternity and your divine connection to life. Frankie has been on the program before. I will continue to have her back because her message is just that important. I want everyone to understand it.

Frankie has been passionate about spiritual growth from a young age. She shares extraordinary insights gained through personal tragedy and channeling wisdom from her deceased mother and spiritual team.

Tune in to discover profound perspectives as Frankie reveals:

  • We are all part of spiritual teams working together across dimensions for human evolution
  • Our thoughts and actions contribute vibrational energy to collective spheres which influence events
  • Doing our inner work and raising consciousness is how we impact outer events
  • Self-condemnation comes from pride, true humility recognizes we all make mistakes
  • Forgiveness sets us free from past pain and interrupts cycles of revenge

Quotes from the interview:

"You are not alone. You're not even functioning as one person. Nobody is, for you are a member of a team, a spiritual team, as close to you as breathing."

"Everything is layered, one upon the other, and grouped into a unified point. So everything is built upon each other and accomplished."

"As soon as you catch it, even if it's little, you know, if it's very small if it's a nudge, it starts to lose its power. You know, when you can name it."

A medium told Sandra that her son was stuck in the afterlife because of guilt. Is this realistic?

Join us in an enlightening journey into the mysteries of the afterlife and the soul’s voyage on the other side. In the first part of our conversation, I examine the role of mediums in giving us insights. I talk about what we know, what we don't know, and what logic tells us.

I also delve into the notion of souls feeling guilt and explore the concept of a life review, focusing on growth rather than punishment. You'll hear about how souls might choose to stick around on the earthly plane, and how Father Nathan Castle aids them in their transition into the light.

Venturing deeper, I explore near-death experiences, providing comfort to those who've encountered hellish experiences with the assurance that these individuals were eventually removed from them when ready.

Wrapping up this fascinating discourse, I reassure you that no one is ever alone in their grief. Benevolent entities are guiding us in the afterlife, ensuring that we are comforted and supported. Tune in to this thought-provoking discussion that will open your eyes to a new perspective on the afterlife.

Ever wondered about the fundamental difference between a force and a condition? As I dive into this thought-provoking topic, I illuminate the philosophy behind forces and conditions using the metaphor of light and darkness, inspired by the teachings in Frances Key's The Team books. I take you on a journey to understanding how force, like light, is an active presence while a condition, much like darkness, is a passive state of being.

Drawing parallels from the epic Star Wars universe, I talk about the profound concept of how the same force can be used for creation or destruction. Amidst global unrest, I invite you to reflect upon your capacity to wield your personal force for positive change. Regardless of the magnitude of the issue, your light, your energy, indeed makes a pivotal difference- not just a symbolic difference, a real difference. There is something you can do!

Tune in as I encourage you to harness your personal power to dispel darkness and create a positive impact.

In our latest episode, we dive deep into these questions with Matthew Brackett, an executive leadership coach and resiliency expert. Known for his unique wisdom stemming from his experiences growing up in a large family and international service, Matthew provides profound insights into navigating complex territories such as self-hatred, depression, and the practice of compassion and empathy.

We talk about the resilience of the human spirit and how the concept of free will influences our perception of pain and grief.

We also delve into questions about religion, free will, and suffering. We challenge common misconceptions, examining the influence of charismatic leaders in shaping religious ideologies and discussing the need for a more inclusive and compassionate approach to faith. We share Matthew's experiences growing up in a large family and the lessons learned about community, responsibility, and intentional decisions. We then shift the conversation towards understanding ego, diversity, and human dignity, highlighting the importance of being honest with ourselves and dealing with our emotions.

Have you been told grieving the loss of a loved one meant severing ties with them, letting go, and moving on? Religion tells us this- maybe we'll see them later. Materialism tells us they're gone for good.

What if I told you there's another way? In this heartfelt episode, I share my journey with grief and how it led me to discover the Continuing Bonds Model. This approach says our connections with loved ones don't have to end when they pass on. It's been a transformative journey for me, particularly after my daughter Shayna's passing, and I hope sharing it brings comfort and hope to those grappling with their grief.

As we explore the traditional Freudian view of grief and how it contrasts with the Continuing Bonds Model, I share my experiences and learnings about how I've been able to include Shayna in my daily life, communicate with her, and carry her legacy forward. This isn't about rushing through life to 'get to the good stuff'; it's about embracing the present and understanding that our loved ones are still part of our lives, even if in a different way. Whether you're dealing with loss or just curious about alternate approaches to grief and mourning, this episode offers a compassionate, integrative perspective that challenges conventional wisdom.

Imagine a world where peace prevails over conflict, compassion overpowers hate, and every small step toward serenity is celebrated as a victory. That's the world I try to envision in this special episode.

I grapple with the heart-wrenching Middle Eastern conflict between Israel and Hamas, reflecting on its horrifying cost in human life, with over 10,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis estimated to have been killed. But even in such dark times, there are glimmers of hope and progress, as global attitudes towards civilian casualties shift significantly, urging nations to limit the harm caused to innocent lives.

I continue our journey beyond the war zones, highlighting the inspiring work of Jewish peace advocates, who, despite facing the chaos and despair of conflict, continue fighting for the rights of Palestinians. I question societal norms, inspecting our progress toward a peaceful world, and ask the pressing questions we should be asking ourselves. Are we doing enough? Can we make a difference? I believe we can. Through collective efforts, we can bring about the change we desire.

Join me, as we explore the power of collective efforts to create a world where peace is not just a dream, but a reality.

What if the human existence extended beyond the confines of our physical bodies, intertwining earthly with the infinite realms of the eternal and the ephemeral? This episode of the Grief to Growth podcast invites you on a thought-provoking journey, as I explore the fascinating, yet subtle distinction between the soul and the spirit. This conversation will guide you through the depths of human existence, exploring the age-old concepts of Atman and Prana, and the cyclical journey of the spirit spun off by the soul in the realm of reincarnation.

Through this exploration, I redefine the concept of reincarnation as not just a return of the soul, but as an enriching voyage of the spirit spun off by the soul, with each life experience contributing to the evolution of our eternal soul. This perspective offers solace and intrigue for those grappling with the concept of loss, grief, and the very purpose of human existence.

Let's go deep into the intricacies of these concepts, attempting to unravel the inherent complexities of life and death and their cyclical nature. Prepare to reconsider your understanding of existence, relationships, and self as we embark on this philosophical exploration.

Join me, and embrace the mystery of the self, spirit, and soul.

We're embarking on a soulful journey to the heart of these questions, unraveling the complexities surrounding grief, loss, and post-mortem communications.

We discuss how recognizing signs of comfort can not only alleviate grief but can also enhance our spiritual connectedness.

What if the self-love and kindness you extend to others, you could also give to yourself? In my latest, exclusive episode for my valued subscribers, I deeply dive into the transformative power of self-care and self-talk. From personal anecdotes that shaped my perceptions to the lessons learned from Sunday school, I explore the narrative of prioritizing others before the self. I discuss the need to rewrite this narrative to embrace better self-care and the positive impact it could have on your life.

The conversation then shifts to the often-ignored concept of self-talk. Speaking from experience, having coached hundreds through grief and life’s challenges, I examine the detrimental effects of negative self-talk. I encourage you to apply the mantra 'Is it true, is it kind, is it helpful?' to your inner dialogue and observe the profound difference it can make. The episode ends with a call to action - to redefine joy through the balance of spiritual connection, connection to others, and self-care. Don't miss this powerful journey towards self-love, self-care, and the secret to treating yourself with compassion.

How can your body's natural energy steer you toward healing and transformation? Today, I introduce you to Joshua Bloom, a quantum energy transformation expert who redefines conventional paradigms with his groundbreaking work. This episode is a journey of discovery, as we discuss the limitations of the traditional Newtonian worldview and how a quantum perspective opens up fields of possibilities. We delve into how our body oscillates between two states - growth and protection - and how understanding this can catalyze profound healing.

Our conversation with Joshua takes a fascinating turn as we delve into processing complex emotions such as grief and anxiety. He unfolds the power of 'being quantum,' and how staying present using the body to move energy can be life-changing. We also explore the use of chakra systems in this approach and how it's a powerful tool for navigating meditation techniques. Joshua shares his journey from breakdown to breakthrough, lighting the path for others to follow.

But that's not all! We challenge traditional medical models and their short-term fixes versus the holistic, empowering quantum energy transformation. Joshua enlightens us about the power of manifestation and how quantum change helps in shifting identities from a place of problems to potential. As we wrap up this enlightening episode, you'll be equipped with valuable insights to navigate your journey of transformation and healing, the quantum way!

Curious about why good people seem to die young, and so-called 'bad' individuals live to a ripe old age? Tune into our podcast where we dissect this age-old question, offering a new perspective on longevity and life. Seeing from the soul's perspective, we suggest that maybe long life isn't the reward we perceive it to be, but rather a means to soul development. We explore life's trials and tribulations as catalysts for spiritual growth and question if an early departure could indicate a fulfilling life lived and lessons well learned.

Challenging the binary of 'good' and 'bad' people, we discuss how these definitions are subjective, shaped by our morals and beliefs. By introducing the concept of eternal beings and reincarnation, we offer a refreshing viewpoint on life, death, and the meaning of a long or short life. We argue that every life, however short, can be filled with purpose, love, and experiences. So, join us as we invite you to rethink your perspective on life, death, and the real essence of living. You may find that quality does indeed trump quantity, and every life, short or long, is a meaningful chapter in the eternal story of the soul.

I boldly challenge the misconceptions and stigmas tied to suicide, highlighting the pressing need for empathy in our understanding of this matter. I start by debunking the negative stereotypes associated with suicide, such as the notion that those who choose to end their lives are weak or sinful - a perspective that only adds to the burden the affected families carry. I also confront the damaging language often used, advocating for the adoption of more compassionate phrases.

My discussion doesn't shy away from the hard-hitting questions - I question the beliefs held by some that suicide is an unforgivable sin and that those who "commit suicide" will be punished by God. I argue that these views are not only harmful but also perpetuate the stigma surrounding suicide.

I then move on to stress the need for education to better understand the roots of suicide, often linked to mental illness or profound despair, and how we as a society can offer the necessary support. Join me as I navigate this sensitive topic, aiming to foster a greater understanding and inspire a more compassionate approach towards suicide and its aftermath.

Imagine stumbling upon a mystical map before you were born, a map that charts out your entire life journey, complete with its highs and lows. This concept, known as soul contracts, suggests that we might agree with our soul group before incarnate into this world. Fascinating. In this episode, I delve into how these soul contracts can provide comfort and purpose, transforming adversity into a platform for growth that benefits us and those around us.

But here's the catch - soul contracts are not about predicting your future. They're about understanding the dynamics of your life's journey and how adversity could be an opportunity for growth and transformation. I share a personal story of how my first medium reading opened the door to understanding soul contracts, changing how I navigated loss, change, and adversity. Whether you're skeptical or curious, this episode promises to provide a fresh perspective. So, put on your explorer hat, tune in, and let's journey together into the intriguing world of soul contracts.

Can you imagine unearthing your intuitive abilities following a heart-wrenching loss? My recent heartfelt discussion with the impressive Serena Baptista, an award-winning author, international speaker, spiritual teacher, and evidential psychic medium, explores this journey. Serena candidly shared the story of how her son, JT, who tragically left us at the tender age of seven, guided her toward the discovery of her gifts and purpose.

We navigated the realms of mediumship, spirituality, and the afterlife, sharing our personal journeys. Serena provided fascinating insights into her book and her ongoing conversations with JT, sparking a dialogue about the profound, universal questions that arise when a child departs too early. Not shying away from tough topics, we explored the issue of suicide, the extra love and compassion shown to these souls on the other side, and their role in guiding those considering the same path.

To wrap up, we delved into how we can establish a connection with our guides and recognize the signs they offer. The importance of meditation was emphasized, as well as setting an intention to connect with high-frequency assistance exclusively. Our guides communicate in various ways, ranging from number sequences to dreams, and these means of connection can evolve. This episode offers enlightening perspectives, and tools for connection and underlines the significance of creating a safe space during our spiritual explorations. Join us for this riveting conversation and deepen your understanding of the afterlife, mediumship, and the enduring bonds of love.

Prepare to journey with me as I venture into the captivating realms of mediumship and reality. I'll be pushing the bounds of our comprehension and challenging our perceptions. I dive into the mystery of mediumship, acknowledging that, like a phone or car, we can experience its utility without fully understanding the hows and why's of its functionality.

I grapple with the limitations of our language and intellect to grasp a far more expansive reality than we can perceive. I discuss how our subconscious or intuition connects us to this greater reality despite being overshadowed by our mind. I consider how mediums, near-death experiences, and dreams tap into this realm and translate it into our everyday language. I explore thought experiments like 'Flatland' to illustrate our dimensional limitations and reference religious myths and allegories as a means to express transcendent truths. So buckle up and join the conversation as I traverse the compelling depths of mediumship and reality, appreciating that some truths may resonate on a level beyond our complete understanding.

So, do you think your life's trajectory is under your control or part of a predestined plan? Tune in to dive into these profound questions and reflect on your life's path.

I've been asked, "Did she suffer when she was murdered?" by parents of children who have died. But no matter how our child passes, parents ask, "Was she scared?" Did she die alone?" Did he suffer?

Ana Christina had an experience that answered all those questions, at least for her. Ana called her death a "sweet" experience, even though it occurred at the hands of a loved one. Ana says the Holy Spirit, or "The Comforter," never left her side. Ana says not only is death sweet, her dying is as well.

Ana Christina had a near-death experience that answers many of the questions we all have about the process of crossing over, who goes to heaven, and more. As a devout Christian, Ana found comfort from the Holy Spirit and not just metaphorically.

Ana Christina shares her remarkable and harrowing story of being left for dead by someone she loved. She reflects on her toxic and abusive marriage, her chilling encounter with death, and her unique experiences of crossing over and coming back to her body. Ana Christina discusses her journey of finding strength in her faith and the presence of the Holy Spirit, even in the darkest moments of her life. Despite enduring suffering and violence, she maintains her hope and trust in Jesus. The conversation is emotional, insightful, and thought-provoking, delving into themes of resilience, faith, and the power of love.

A question I often get is, "Can a Christian be a medium?" People also ask if Christians can go to mediums? Stacey Lynn Cripps and I address those questions in this interview.

I've known Stacey for a couple of years, since she did a blind reading for me, as part of a test. Watch the episode to learn how something she said in that reading came true a year and a half later!

Stacey Lynn Cripps is a well-known and highly respected Evidential Spiritual Medium, Mentor, and Advisor of the Gift of Spirit. Stacey is Spiritually gifted with a Divine, Heavenly connection to help others feel love and healing through Heartfelt Spirit Communication.

Stacey believes we are all endowed with Spiritual Gifts, and she is here to be a personal guide and Spiritual teacher. She has a rare God-given gift, which allows heart-to-heart Spirit communication with departed loved ones. These evidential healing messages from loved ones in Heaven instill peace, love, and joy.

Stacey’s work with grieving families, St. Jude, Helping Parents Heal, and others continues to shine a light on how our loved ones are never far away and are still loving and guiding us here on many levels through Spiritual signs, Synchronicity and so much more.

Stacey discusses how spirit guides her work and how she helps grieving parents connect with their children in spirit. She shares that children who have passed come through with a lot of evidence and details to bring comfort and healing to their families. Stacey talks about the messages of forgiveness, explanation, and renewed connection that children in spirit often bring through for their parents.

Stacey also opens up about connecting with famous people in the afterlife, like Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, and Prince. She shares how music and entertainment were a big part of her upbringing, which created a natural connection for her to spiritually connect with musicians and celebrities who have passed.

Stacey talks about meditation's role in her spiritual awakening and how guided meditations can help others experience spirit. She released an album called "Guided Meditations to Awaken the Spirit" to help people connect with their loved ones in heaven. Stacey also shares her online classes and workshops that teach people how to develop their spiritual gifts.

This inspiring conversation dives deep into life after death and the healing power of spirit. Stacey shares wisdom on spiritual signs, mediumship, and how we can all experience our divine connection through meditation and opening our hearts.

I've been blessed to have interviewed some amazing people on Grief 2 Growth. This conversation with Geoff Thomspon is transformational. He not only endured the abuse he went through. He used it to make himself into something better. He not only forgives, but he is also genuinely grateful for his experiences.

In this heartwarming and enlightening conversation with Brian Smith, BAFTA award-winning screenwriter and prolific author Geoff Thompson reveals his journey towards healing and self-improvement. Delving deep into his own traumatic past, Geoff discusses the profound impact of sexual abuse he experienced at a young age and the ensuing turmoil of confusion and anxiety. Despite the adversities, Geoff emerged stronger and with a profound understanding of the importance of forgiveness and its ability to liberate us from the shackles of negative emotions.

In this video, Geoff passionately emphasizes the need for self-improvement and the profound realization that our thoughts and actions shape our reality. Geoff encourages viewers to delve deeper into religious texts and embrace a broader consciousness by going beyond superficial perceptions and discarding labels. He also discusses the concepts of negative thought forms and energy, underscoring the urgency to increase awareness and cultivate higher energy levels as a defense mechanism against them.

Geoff gives a fascinating analogy between his experiences as a nightclub bouncer and his journey to protect his mind and autonomy. He paints a vivid picture of how he likened the nightclub door to the center of his consciousness, where he controlled what could enter and influence his thoughts and actions. He stresses the importance of reclaiming energy from our fears to create something meaningful and impactful.

Geoff explores the power of perception and its role in overcoming life's biggest challenges. Sharing his experience of metaphorically escaping an impenetrable prison using a metaphysical tool, he inspires us to start small, be kind, and carefully examine our thoughts. He also emphasizes the need for forgiveness, explaining its potential to free us from anger and regain control over our lives. To aid others on their journey toward forgiveness, Geoff offers free resources on his Instagram page and through his book on forgiveness and revenge.

This video is a must-watch for anyone seeking inspiration to overcome personal hurdles, transform negative energy int

In this deeply personal and moving podcast episode, I take you through a seemingly disastrous Mother's Day that tested my resilience and positive mindset. As I tried to savor a special day with my family, unexpected electrical glitches involving my stove and fire pit sent me down a path filled with anxiety and worst-case scenarios.

Join me on this emotional rollercoaster as I share my struggle to shift focus from the problems at hand to relishing the precious moments with my loved ones. I discuss the inner workings of our minds, how they often hyper-focus on negative situations as a means of protection, and question whether it's always necessary.

This episode is a journey into understanding our inherent human tendency to dwell on the negative and how we can consciously steer our minds toward a more positive perspective. I reveal my practice of 'Positive Intelligence' and how it has helped me navigate such situations with more grace and less stress.

In an unexpected twist, I ponder whether these technical hiccups could be messages from my departed daughter, Shana, adding an intriguing spiritual dimension to my experience. This Mother's Day story isn't just a testament to my resilience but also serves as guidance for those of us who tend to get entangled in worry and fear.

Tune in to learn about 'saboteurs', the practice of our 'sages', and how, in the end, everything turns out alright. This episode aims to entertain and equip you with tools to manage your thought processes better when faced with life's unforeseen challenges.

Colin had a very unusual Near Death Experience that included a brush with hell. I asked Colin some very pointed questions, which he responded to. Please take from this what resonates with you and leave what does not.

In this interview, C. Thomas Perry shares his spiritual journey, including a near-death experience where he sought help from Jesus to overcome fear and entered a world of light and love, strengthening his beliefs in angels and the importance of making good choices. Perry believes that God's core teachings are about love, and everyone will experience this love if they follow the path of light, love, and goodness. Brian and Colin also discuss the pushback against near-death experiences and the importance of holding onto the belief that something beautiful awaits our loved ones after they pass. Lastly, Perry emphasizes that people are eternal beings, and death is just a passing of the physical body.

🎬 In this inspiring interview, Brian Smith talks with Colin Thomas Perry, author of "Dying to be Alive," about his near-death experience and spiritual journey.

In this podcast, I speak with Sally Hawk, the founder of Very Soul and a medium, to talk about her journey from working in high-powered banking to becoming a successful medium. During the conversation, Sally discusses the inspiration behind starting Very Soul and how it has grown into a platform that provides quality mediumship services to people worldwide.

Here are some of the topics covered during the podcast:

  1. Sally's background and career in the banking industry.
  2. How Sally discovered she could connect with spirits.
  3. The challenges Sally faced transitioning from a corporate career to mediumship.
  4. The importance of formal training in evidential mediumship.
  5. What is deep blending, and how it relates to mediumship.
  6. Sally's experience with deep blending and what it feels like to connect with spirits.
  7. The types of spirits Sally connects with and how they communicate with her.
  8. The inspiration for starting Very Soul and why the platform is unique.
  9. The services Very Soul offers and how it helps people connect with loved ones who have passed. (free and paid sessions)
  10. The future of Very Soul and its goal of reaching a million people worldwide.

Sally started her corporate career as an actuary and risk manager and eventually ran a series of large, global financial businesses with complex risks. After retiring from corporate life, she refocused on giving back by mentoring teens working to overcome poverty and executives with strong pay-it-forward potential. She also started to research more about the spirit experiences she had been having and eventually realized she was a Medium.

She began her formal training as an evidential Medium in 2020, studying with some of the top experts in the world. In early 2021 she received a series of detailed inspirations about a global platform needed to address the unique needs of Mediums and their clients.

VerySoul started as a simple, 20-person prototype in October 2021 and has already grown to over 2,000 users in 31 countries. VerySoul’s goal is to help over a million people around the world experience quality mediumship over the next few years.

In this inspiring interview, I speak with Patricia Crisafulli, an accomplished author, speaker, and entrepreneur, about her life experiences and the lessons she has learned. Patricia shares with us her journey through grief after her sister's untimely passing and how it has changed her life forever. She believes that grief is a process, not a state, and that grief often runs parallel to joy in our lives.

Patricia also discusses her novel, published just as her sister passed away, and the coincidences and synchronicities in life that often go unnoticed. She shares her sister’s incredible moment of terminal lucidity which has forever changed Patricia.

In our conversation, Patricia reflects on the essence of a sister and how mysteries keep us engaged and moving forward. She shares her perspective on subjective versus objective reality and how every situation presents a gift or an opportunity. We share the belief that we can choose to live life as either everything's a miracle or nothing.
Join me as we delve deeper into the mystery of life with Patricia Crisafulli and learn how her experiences have shaped her worldview.

Typically, we think of a medium reading as healing for the sitter, the person who hires the medium. We don't often think of a reading as beneficial for the person in the spirit world.

I had a fascinating conversation with Karen, who shares frank and fresh perspectives on mediumship, dealing with grief, and how the mechanics of mediumship work. Along the way, she busts some myths that I think you're going to want to hear about.

Karen has been aware of her psychic abilities from a young age and communicates with those who have crossed over every day. Her mission is to help and heal through her mediumship and to help people understand how spirit works. She is a mentor and teacher and helps students to develop their innate mediumistic gifts . Karen’s love of her work is outstanding, and her passion for all things mediumship drives her forward, bringing evidential mediumship to the forefront every time.

Publishers send many authors to me to pitch their books. I turn down most of those requests. I rarely read fiction books. I just don't have the time. But this author and this book intrigued me, and I'm glad I decided to read it.

Travelers is a fictional account of a mental health therapist whose world opens up after the death of his daughter. Forced to confront a new paradigm and challenges, he goes on a journey of soul growth.

Donald Altman, M.A., LPC, is a psychotherapist, former Buddhist monk, international mindfulness expert, and award-winning author of over 20 books translated worldwide. Featured as an expert in The Mindfulness Movie and profiled in the Living Spiritual Teachers Project, he currently writes Psychology Today’s Practical Mindfulness Blog. His best-selling The Mindfulness Toolbox won two national publishing Ben Franklin IPBA awards as the best book in both the Psychology and Mind-Body-Spirit categories.

Heather is an Activator of those who are here to be Activators, the Divine Feminine guide for Divine Feminine guides, a Destiny Accelerator for those who feel they are here for a bigger impact, a more beautiful life, and a Sacred Purpose.

She is an only child who has always had a simple life, a rich inner world, and animals as companions; a Pisces, a Manifestor, a Life Path 9, and a Fire Dragon – in other words, the perfect candidate to have a sudden Spiritual Awakening at the age of 40, and then start teaching the deep Feminine, Archetypal, Energetic and Consciousness principles she receives from what she calls her Cosmic Team.

Some of the things we discussed.

What the Mystery Is & What a Mystery School Holds: Everything we crave as humans is found in the Feminine Archetype and the Mystery
Letting Ourselves Be Guided by our Soul: She is the one who has the ‘map’ for everything we desire.
Misconceptions About What Feminine Energy Is: It’s not what you wear, what hobbies you enjoy, or anything else ‘external-facing.’
The Delicate Balance of Masculine and Feminine Energies in Partnership: Why romantic / love relationships fail when the Feminine Energy is missing
Fate, Destiny, Free Will, and Manifestation: And why it’s a lot more complex and a lot less linear than most people think or teach

You know of reiki for healing others. Reiki professionals are the people we go to for energy healing when we have an ailment.

She's teaching one day Reiki training coming up in March 2023:

Sign up For Free Webinar

Were you aware you can do reiki on yourself anytime to enhance your mental, spiritual, and physical health?

Until I learned from my friend, Becky, I had no idea reiki is for everyone. But what really blew my mind is that reiki enhances spirit communications. Becky has documented proof from people she has trained that after they took her course, they had afterlife communications.

Rebecca Austill-Clausen is an Occupational Therapist, Reiki Master, award-winning author of Change Maker, How My Brother’s Death Woke Up My Life, and international speaker. She has practiced Reiki for over 25 years and is the first person to teach Reiki at every in-person American Occupational Therapist Annual Conference since 2016 including the upcoming 2023 Conference in Kansas City, Missouri in April.
Becky is also the first person to teach Reiki at the Annual International Association for Near-Death Studies Annual Conference each year since 2021 including the upcoming 2023 conference in Alexandria, VA late August.

Reiki, a natural energy healing modality, can be learned in one day. Reiki reduces pain, stress, and anxiety while enhancing after-death communication.

Becky is teaching Reiki online in one day, certificate-provided weekend workshops being held at the end of March/early April this year during her dynamic, experiential program called Reiki Immersion Online.

Avikal's book "Who Is In?" will challenge you to discover who you truly are. Often the belief that we know who we are blocks us from discovering who we indeed are.

Some of the things we discuss:

The questions "Who is in?" and "Who am I?"
You often use the word Koan, what is that, and is it different from an existential question or the same?
Why would anybody start asking Who is in? or Who am I? What kind of benefit might that have?
At the beginning of the second chapter, you write about the myth of identity. Don’t we need an identity to be in the world?
What do you mean by going beyond self-image?
You define Narcissism as a general human condition, please
elaborate.
You state that we are all complete, what do you mean by that?
What about attachment to the Direct Experience?

Avikal E. Costantino is a mystic, poet, and martial artist. Curiosity, passion, and love for the truth guide his life and teaching. He is the director of the Integral Being Institute active in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Avikal worked as an anthropologist and a freelance photographer. His love for Martial Arts, which he began in 1970, took him to teach Aikido and Sword in 1987, while his love for the body produced diplomas and professional activity in Shiatsu, Yu-Ki, and Seitai (healing techniques).

When suffering from grief, it's hard to celebrate. When Shayna passed away, I didn't feel like celebrating anything. Holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays were unbelievably painful. The words grief and celebrate hardly go together.

Friday, January 13th, was the eighth birthday since Shayna's passing. I've learned a lot over the years. In this video, I share with you what works for many of my clients and for me.

I recently attended a conference where there were several people who had NDEs. A discussion of whether we merge into the one or retain our individuality broke out. This is a topic that can cause fear and confusion. For many of us, merging into to the One sounds like annihilation.

"Love Untethered: How To Live When Your Child Dies" is a memoir about Vanessa's grief for the loss of her son Harry.

By sharing her personal experience, Vanessa hopes to enable others who have gone through a similar loss to feel less isolated in their grief. In the second part of her book, Vanessa offers some ideas for supporting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing using her experience, not just as a bereaved mother but as a nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and now holistic grief coach and educator.

Many people who have experienced a tragedy find it facilitates a new belief in life after death. This is discussed in the book along with the physical aspects of grief and trauma that can be significant and far-reaching but are often overlooked.

Vanessa is from London in the UK. She's a holistic grief coach, certified grief educator, nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and author. She wrote 'Love Untethered: how to live when your child dies' in part to make sense of her profound grief and trauma, as well as in the hope that she can help others who have experienced a significant bereavement.

Vanessa believes life-changing loss can affect us on multiple levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As well as being a memoir, ‘Love Untethered’ offers advice to those grieving based on Vanessa’s personal and professional experience.

Her second book ‘Supporting Your Grieving Client: a guide for wellness practitioners’ will be published in February 2023, and she is currently writing her third book, which will be a sequel to ‘Love Untethered’.

If you like it, I'll continue the bonus episodes.Someone asked me to make a five-minute video covering why I believe in the afterlife. After a few tries, I realized it would take at least ten minutes just to give an overview.

I've studied the afterlife for several decades now, intensely over the last 7-½ years. I am convinced, beyond any reasonable doubt, the "afterlife" is our real life, and it's more real than this reality we call home for a few decades.

How do we live a healthy lifestyle? A holistic life leads to health and well-being, according to many, including my guest, Oliver Rolfe.

A decade ago, Oliver's life changed forever. In fact, everything in his life changed when he was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, along with seven damaged discs in his spine. Starting with himself, Oliver knew that to be on top of this disease, he needed to be mentally stronger, physically more able, and have the ability to manage his emotions. Oliver changed everything and feels so much better for it now and in a more contented place.

Today, Oliver is far more in control of his body, his mind, and his emotions.

Having spent many years under the care of some of the most well-regarded doctors, surgeons, professors, rheumatologists, allergists, nutritionists, numerologists, healers, etc. Oliver learned first-hand from these experienced professionals, as well as experiencing everything first-hand daily.

Otto collaborated with renowned experts including psychologist David Moxon, who has spent the last 30 years mentoring and educating people within the fields of health and psychology; international numerologist Ann Perry assists people globally and specializes in the Master number 11; Darren Rolfe, CEO of Steps Together, an addiction and rehabilitation group that focuses on drug and alcohol addiction (including overall well-being); International medium and healer Sara Leslie, has assisted countless people with her knowledge and intuition. They have created a complete guide for your holistic health.

Hellish Near Death Experiences are pretty rare. Dr. Parti died and says he saw hell. I've wanted to interview Dr. Parti for a very long time. A small percentage (estimated at around 5%) of Near Death Experiences are "hellish." Since meeting Howard Storm and hearing him speak several years ago, I've not spoken with anyone else who has had one of these experiences.

Some of my Christian listeners may be excited to hear that a non-Christian went to Hell and got what he deserved. But look beyond the headline. Every hellish NDE I've heard recounted ends up with the experiencer being removed from hell. And, in any event, none of them are there eternally. So, hell, if it exists and is confirmed in NDEs, is temporary at most.

Dr. Parti and I discuss his experience, how it changed his life, and why he thinks he had this particular experience. He went from a life of excess to a much simpler, happier life after his return. He also has advice for anyone who might find themselves in the same situation he was in.

I've been studying Near Death Experiences for many years now. I am 100% convinced they are real. In this short, free ebook, I not only explain why I believe NDEs are real, I share some of the universal secrets brought back by people who have had them.

A growing number of counselors and therapists are treating the whole person. Transpersonal Counseling honors the higher dimensions of the human experience- beyond the personality, beyond personal history, beyond even beyond emotions. Things that are typically unexplainable are honored and welcomed into the counseling room. Her path was greatly influenced by a Near Death Experience she had when she was just five months old.

Harmony Kwiker, MA, is a psychotherapist, author, and professor at Naropa University, where she teaches transpersonal counseling. She is also the founder of the Institute for Spiritual Alignment, where she trains practitioners to bridge the divide between traditional and spiritual transformation.

Harmony's first book was a self-help memoir called Reveal: Embody the True Self Beyond Trauma and Conditioning, where she vulnerably shares her story of transformation while simultaneously empowering readers to discover their truest selves.

In this interview, we discuss her new book, Align: Living and Loving from the True Self.

Mark Anthony is known as The Psychic Lawyer. This episode with Mark is a great way to kick off the New Year. I’ve met Mark a couple of times at various conferences. In August 2022, I spent a few days with Mark at the Helping Parents Heal conference and got to know him on a much deeper level.

Mark is not only a lawyer and a medium, he’s a historian and a critical thinker. Mark is one of the most intelligent and well-rounded people I know.

This interview runs longer than my usual interviews. If you need to listen to it in segments, do so. It’s well worth your time.

Mark Anthony, JD Psychic Explorer (also known as The Psychic Lawyer), is a fourth-generation psychic medium who communicates with spirits. He is an Oxford-educated attorney licensed to practice law in Florida, Washington D.C., and before the United States Supreme Court.

This Psychic Explorer travels to mystical locations in remote corners to examine Ancient Mysteries and Supernatural Phenomena.

Mark appears nationwide on TV and Radio, including CBS TV’s “The Doctors,” and Gaia TV’s “Beyond Belief with George Noory.” He is the co-host of the live stream show “The Psychic and the Doc” on the Transformation Network.

He is a featured speaker at conferences, expos, and universities, including Brown, Columbia, Harvard, and Yale.

Mark Anthony is a columnist for “Best Holistic Life Magazine.” His latest bestseller, The Afterlife Frequency, is the Gold Winner of the COVR Visionary Awards, was up for a Pulitzer, and was ranked by PrettyProgressive.com as one of the top books about faith in God. His other bestselling books are Never Letting Go and Evidence of Eternity.

John Schaefers is a former military and retired science teacher (math, physics, and chemistry). He reached out to me because he wanted to share his fascinating story of the Shared Death Experience (SDE) he had when his father transitioned.

When John and I talked, I learned that he has had a lifetime of spiritual experiences that have no other explanation (NOE to use Suzanne's Giesemann's term) than he is plugged into something beyond our physical realm.

I've been studying Near Death Experiences for many years now. I am 100% convinced they are real. In this short, free ebook, I not only explain why I believe NDEs are real, I share some of the universal secrets brought back by people who have had them.

This one was a big thrill for me. I've been a fan of David's cartoons for many years. And I got to interview him to learn about the man behind the pen. His cartoons are biting, funny, and sometimes hurt a little as David expresses the emotions many of us feel when we deconstruct our religion.

David Hayward was ordained to the ministry in 1987 and left in 2010.

He’s been running the nakedpastor blog since 2005 where he posts his provocative cartoons and articles.

He launched an online community called The Lasting Supper, a place for people to change without being judged or instructed, and where they can learn to become spiritually independent.

He’s been cartooning, making art, writing, speaking, and coaching around his core passions: personal authentic freedom, the power to change our own lives, and the creative spirit to make our world a better place.

He and his wife live in eastern Canada. They have three adult children.

Zander Masser is an occupational therapist, husband, father, musician, and author of the narrative photography book Unburying My Father. Zander's father, Randy, contracted HIV from using contaminated blood products to treat his bleeding disorder and died in 2000 from AIDS-related illnesses. Twenty years later, Zander unburied ten thousand slides from Randy's career as a professional photographer, which prompted him to dig deeper into his father's life. What started as a photography project evolved into a transformative exploration of living with, and healing from, grief. The book, Unburying My Father, was funded by a successful kickstarter campaign. Since then, Zander has delivered talks and workshops around the US and Canada and has created several photography exhibits featuring his father's work.

John Davis has a pretty wild story. 19 different intuitive readers independently and spontaneously told him about a very specific past life. Raised as a Catholic, psychics were not something he particularly believed in or trusted. So John of New scheduled a session with a past life regression therapist. Under hypnosis, he remembered the exact life the readers had and told him of. He remembered the life of John, the Beloved apostle. In that regression, he remembered meeting Jeshua bin Joseph better known as Jesus. He also witnessed the crucifixion of his friend. John now has a popular YouTube channel called John of New that shares what he learned 2000 years ago.

What an episode I have for you today! Lisa Simone and Frances Key talk about The Team Books.

Frances Key is the channel for the greatest series of books I've ever read. She's appeared on Grief 2 Growth multiple times, and I'll get her back whenever I can. In addition, today Lisa Simone, author, actor, singer, executive producer, and daughter of the great Nine Simone, joins us. Lisa became a fan of Frances and the books and is one of the narrators of the brand-new audiobook version!

I'm not prone to exaggeration. The Team books have changed my outlook on life as much as any spiritual material I've read.

On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Gloria Crystal "Teddy" Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her lilting voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state. Through various experiences, including direct contact with her mother, automatic writing, and sudden downloads of information, this remarkable 4-book series was handwritten in less than a year. The Team material has astounded a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, wit, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the experience of being human while belonging to a spiritual team.

Frances, a retired teacher, writes books, songs, and scripts. She has been involved in various creative projects, including musical theater, writing choral music, and much more. She will share with us today information about the recent Audiobook release of Team Book One and her newest creative projects.

Why meditation isn't working for me is a common search I recommend meditation to all of my clients. I can't count how many have told me, "I can't meditate. Meditation isn't for me."

I've been meditating for about 15 years. I've studied several types of meditation, used apps, and bought devices. For several years, I meditated without missing a day.

When I learned Kelvin was offering "Turning Within" as a class, I wondered what I could learn about meditation. Not that I know it all. But, I found a practice that worked well for me.

I've been training with Kelvin for about two weeks as of the recording of this episode. His technique is simple, easy, and effective. Kelvin has taught experienced meditators to improve their practices, and his technique is easy enough that a beginner probably will pick it up easier than someone seasoned, like me, who has learned all kinds of wrong information.

Susan L. Combs is President of Combs & Company, a full-service insurance brokerage firm based in New York City. Susan started the company at twenty-six years old with a drive to “Do more, better.” This internal mantra has resulted in numerous successes and firsts, like being named the youngest National President in the over eighty-five-year history of Women in Insurance & Financial Services (WIFS) and the first female Broker of the Year winner for BenefitsPro.

Susan is “a Missouri girl in a New York world,” The lessons she learned during her Midwestern upbringing and two-plus decades in New York City are the basis of the book we discuss in this interview.

The insights contained in these pages come from family, friends, colleagues, and life in general. But the most important teachings are from her late father. His steady guidance in life set Susan’s foundation, and his passing inspired her new movement, Pancakes for Roger (www.PancakesForRoger.com).

When Susan’s not running her business or trying to help others through their challenges, you can find her flipping tires at her beloved CrossFit gym, supporting the Missouri Tigers, KC Chiefs, and Royals, or slaying the dragons that have come her way.

It was thrilling to sit down with Susanne Wilson to catch up on what's been happening in her life. Susanne is the first medium I had any experience with. In March 2016, someone gave me a gift of a reading with Susanne. That was a high bar to start with. After a couple of minutes, it was like she had known me all my life. She brought Shayna through loud and clear. Since then, Susanne and I have run into each other several times at various events.

Susanne Wilson is an accomplished medium with broad knowledge about the afterlife, afterlife communication, and paranormal subjects. Her teaching and presentations are always engaging, informative, and entertaining.

Susanne kept her natural-born talents hidden for many years until a Near Death Experience nudged her to come out of the closet as a medium.

Susanne is known as the Carefree Medium. She is based in Carefree, Arizona-based. She is an intuition educator, author, medium, and paranormal presenter. Susanne appears on venues including Coast to Coast AM, Gaia TV, and Amazon Prime. She is a faculty member of the Superpower movement, a film series dedicated to igniting your intuitive intelligence.

Susanne holds a Master’s degree in public affairs policy, a Bachelor’s degree in management, and certifications from Stanford University. Susanne is a globally recognized researcher and a beloved educator on a wide range of paranormal topics. As the Intuition Educator, she offers live and on-demand mentoring and courses.

Kelvin Chin is Executive Director & Founder of the “Turning Within” Meditation and Overcoming the Fear of Death Foundations and is an internationally-recognized meditation teacher featured in Business Insider, Newsweek, and Kaiser Health News, and has taught meditation at West Point and in the U.S. Army, including on the DMZ in Korea. Kelvin has been meditating for 50 years, has taught meditation for 49 years to thousands of people in over 60 countries, and his past life memories reach back 6,000 years. He graduated from Dartmouth, Yale, and Boston College Law and has lived in 7 countries.

Kelvin also organized the 30th November event held in Alexandria, Virginia, in 2014, where a talk was given by George Hammond, who gave the history of spirituality on Earth in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic-Vedic traditions over the past 10,000 years, as shared in quite some detail with him by the founders of those traditions -- who are all now on the Other Side.

We discussed how that event came about and what topics were covered in that talk -- so a sort of preview today of the 30th November talk -- so that you will have a better idea of what it is about before you all go to that website and listen to it yourselves.

Also, on Wednesday, 30th November 2022, this year at 12 Noon Pacific (3 Eastern), Kelvin will conduct a Q&A worldwide for all who have watched that talk over the past 8 years.

When it comes to After Death Communication, it's hard to beat Teo.

Cecilie Surasky and Carolyn Hunt are the parents of Teo Hunt Surasky, an exceptionally vibrant, compassionate, and loving young man who unexpectedly passed in July 2020 at 18 years old, a month after graduating from Berkeley High in California. Death did not stop their relationship or their communication.

In profound shock from the sudden loss, Carolyn and Cecilie reached out to their extended community at an impromptu Berkeley High vigil, including Teo's friends. Through regular Zoom-circles, outdoor gatherings during COVID lockdown, non-religious rituals, and storytelling, they began an ongoing community healing process that has spanned continents, cultures, and generations.

These circles have facilitated sharing dozens of Teo contact stories, including vivid dreams, visitations during meditations, signs, complex synchronicities, direct communication, and more experienced by close to 35+ friends and family who know and love Teo.

We all experience consciousness. But, can any of us be sure of what it is, where it comes from, and where it goes?

Philosophers and scientists have wrestled with this question for hundreds of years. It's confused some so much that they've thrown up their hands and declared consciousness is an illusion. Ironic since the only thing we know for sure is that we are conscious, everything and anything else could be an illusion. Our brains filter out most of what is around us. They interpret everything else and often give us false information.

In this episode, I give my thoughts on what consciousness is. What do you think?

I've never heard a Near Death Experience quite like Amirah Hall's. Of course, every NDE is different, as I believe they are tailored for the individual.

Rev. Amirah Hall, M.Msc. blends “sacred with science” and has been on a four-decade journey of exploring secrets to manifesting and healing. She is a gifted clairvoyant, spirit medium, channel, and quantum healing pioneer.

Amirah's spiritual awakening was triggered after her father’s death, divorce, and life-threatening autoimmune disease, all within six months. It was further amplified with a near-death experience while traveling in Egypt when her gifts of psychic vision, channeling, and mediumship opened up.

Amirah has a reputation as a world-class psychic, mystic, and mentor with the honor of working with an international client list, including Dubai Royals. Amirah has her master’s in metaphysical science and is an ordained Minister dedicated to providing spiritual tools and guidance to seekers going through their ascension process, reaching higher levels of awareness and healing.

🔗 https://www.amirahhall.com

She's the author of 6 books, including

  • Manifesting Miracles 101,
  • LOVE UP Your Life, and
  • The Essential Guide To Spiritual Awakening.
  • The High Vibe Coloring Book

I've been training in Positive Intelligence for several months. In the program, we learn about "saboteurs", the voices in our heads that tell us that we aren't good enough, that our circumstances aren't good enough, and more self-destructive things.

This short bonus episode is some of the observations I made in recent daily life about how insidious these saboteurs are. I hope it helps you begin to identify how your saboteurs are lying to you and holding you back.

This is my good friend Kelvin Chin's second appearance on Grief 2 Growth. I consider Kelvin to be one of the leading experts in the world on what we call the afterlife. He's also one of the world's experts on meditation.

This conversation covers some misconceptions about what happens to us when we die and why people might believe them. Kelvin clearly and concisely explains concepts. He uses logic and reason as well as emotion and experience.

Kelvin Chin is an author and Life After Life Expert. His first book “Overcoming the Fear of Death: Through Each of the 4 Main Belief Systems,” is a nonreligious approach to overcoming the fear of death. And his new book, “Marcus Aurelius Updated: 21st Century Meditations On Living Life” is a collection of 67 essays ranging from Emotions, Life Principles, Meditation, and the Spiritual.

Kelvin is Executive Director & Founder of the “Turning Within” Meditation and Overcoming the Fear of Death Foundations, and is an internationally-recognized meditation teacher featured in Business Insider, Newsweek, and Kaiser Health News, and has taught meditation at West Point and in the U.S. Army, including on the DMZ in Korea.

Steven is a fascinating man who has turned early trauma into his superpower.

Steven and I discussed how we all must heal from wounds and the benefit of doing our shadow work.

Founder of Mastering Change, Steven Twohig, has committed himself to mastering the art of transformation. While seeking to heal from trauma inflicted while just a toddler, Steven was introduced to the practice of shadow work in April of 2000, leading to a lifelong study and what he believes is a path to enlightenment.

Steven spent a decade working for and studying under the world's leading business and life strategist, Tony Robbins. He wanted to blend shadow work with business strategy, integration, and implementation. Tony commissioned him to interview over 10,000 business leaders worldwide to determine what made them successful and help thousands transform their businesses to be more productive and strategic.

Currently, he is studying the impact of shadow work on psychedelic integration. He focuses on bridging the gap between traditional plant medicine and the western mind, intending to bring the insights and innovation that plant
medicine provides to everyone who wants more out of their lives. He believes we are finally on the cusp of proper mental healthcare, which will spur global innovation.

He is an international speaker and has traveled worldwide, teaching a blend of strategy, shadow work, and spirituality. He has extensive study in mindfulness, mindset, business optimization, shadow work and facilitation, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy, group dynamics, peak performance, leadership dynamics, and unconscious communication.

Through this work, he has formulated a specific framework for understanding the human experience and is currently training other guides to spread the practice.

Sarah is back for a second time to discuss how she helps women recover from trauma. I am thrilled to be partnering with Sarah on a Trauma Recovery Summit coming up in early October 2022. This summit will feature approximately 40 speakers, including myself and some incredible bonus offers to help you recover from trauma.

We all experience trauma in life. It’s not just “the big things” that leave scars. Most of us live our lives unaware of the wounds we are carrying. The Trauma Recovery Summit will help you understand your traumas and how you can begin to live life with ease and flow rather than fighting all the time.

Jenny and I spoke about her journey from illness, to self-healing, to healing others.
Jenny Light is a Yoga Elder, psychologist, meditation teacher on Insight Timer, author, and inspirational speaker from Ayrshire, Scotland.

Her spiritual upbringing was fostered by her parents’ personal exploration of Vegetarianism, Yoga, Findhorn (in the early days) and a deep love of multi-faith religious buildings. Kundalini awakening as a small child and finding yoga at 9, Jenny continued where she left off in her spiritual meditative path of many lifetimes.

Jenny trained as a Dru Yoga teacher in 2000 and went on the train extensively in Scaravelli Yoga before undergoing esoteric spiritual training with her guru Paramahansa Yogananda through the Self Realization Fellowship.

Tyler and I had a fascinating talk about what led to his NDE in his twenties and why he kept it quiet for over a decade. Today, Tyler is a healer, practicing many modalities and wanted to share his NDE to help others know that there is much more beyond the physical world.

Over the past 22 years, Tyler has studied, trained, and practiced many therapeutic modalities. He has a broad knowledge and thousands of applicable hours of advanced healing in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi bodywork / Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) / Craniosacral Therapy (CST) / Thai bodywork / and in the year 2000, had been one of only a few participants in the first training of the Pulse Technique©, developed by Jo Dunning. Tyler is also a graduate of The Centre of the Performing Arts, South Australia (now AC Arts), and the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, where he studied literature and creative writing.

After a near-death experience (NDE) from a mountain bike accident, Tyler was propelled into the inner world of self-healing, where he was faced with examining deep-seated trauma at the molecular level. The self-healing has given him inner gifts that have allowed him to connect more intimately with the Earth, elemental spirits, animals, and plants, and to guide people back to their beautiful core essence.

Tyler’s specialty is working with highly sensitive and empathic individuals, however, anyone is welcome to work with him if they feel called to do so. He works remotely, assisting his clients with recalibrating the bio-energetics of the nervous system, the center of all body system functions and spiritual integration. Spiritual evolution is the process of bringing more light into the nervous system.

Over the years, Tyler has been described as a molecular empath & healer, peacemaker, gifted writer, animal protector, and dad to two beautiful cats (one of whom has a cameo in this very video).

Alessandra Sagredohas a fascinating story. She grew up as an adopted, ¼ black bi-sexual female mystic in a household of strict Salvation Army ministers. She left an abusive marriage and went through a divorce and subsequent bankruptcy, only to face a walnut-sized inoperable tumor growing inside her brain. These are just some of the things that have made her who she is today, at the age of 44, completely healthy, free, and living a life of bliss.

In this interview, we discuss the amazing system she has developed, called Soulphoria. Soulphoria is a systemic way of releasing trauma, healing and falling in love with yourself.

No one wants to think about death, our own or that of a loved one. But, the reality is death will part all of us eventually. When Jane Duncan Rogers' husband got a terminal diagnosis, she realized it was time to do the pre-death planning, we all put off. After doing this, she realized what a gift it was for them and for her after he passed. Inspired by this, she started Before I Go Solutions which takes the pain and guesswork out of this chore we all know we should do.

Jane Duncan Rogers was devastated when her husband died – this was not in their plans! Her greatest fear had come true, she was on
her own again at age 54, and without kids too. However, little did she know that 3years on she would have published a book called Gifted By
Grief.

How could she be gifted by this terrible loss? And yet she was – and that has led her directly to what she does now. Her background of 25 years in the coaching & training field has been perfect for the now 6-figure not-for-profit she founded in 2016 Before I Go Solutions®. Together with her
accredited team of internationally-based End of Life Planning Facilitators, she offers products and programs to help people complete their end-of-life plans - 90% of people say this is essential, but only 14% actually get around to doing it.

Consciousness. We all know what it is. But, we can't explain it. We can't define it. We just know it.

Scientists and philosophers have debated this for years. What is the source of consciousness? What is it? Is it generated by the brain? Some have gone so far as to call consciousness, the one thing we know for sure, an illusion.

Ren Koi is a consciousness explorer. He's a deeply contemplative man who has studied consciousness from every possible perspective and put his observations into a book that will appeal to the scientific as well as the spiritual seeker. Stay tuned to find out what he's learned about consciousness and how you can explore your own.

https://www.o-books.com

Details:

All Is One offers a conclusive definition of consciousness that might satisfy both the scientifically oriented and spiritually oriented reader.

In this thoughtful book about consciousness, you will go on a journey to ask the bigger questions, the deeper questions, that we all need to consider as we walk towards finding meaning in our lives. Through the exploration of what scientists and philosophers have written about to finally come to your own conclusions, this book will expand your mind and your consciousness. - Arlina Allen

All Is One: The Science & Spirituality of Consciousness by Ren Koi offers a conclusive definition of consciousness that might satisfy both the scientifically oriented and spiritually oriented reader.

Some of the things we discuss

  1. Ren's story of addiction
  2. Ren's spiritual awakening
  3. Ren's recovery story
  4. His spiritual experiences as a result of meditation
  5. His ten-day silent meditation retreat in 2018
  6. His controversial use of psychedelics
  7. His mental health struggles
  8. Why he wrote All Is One
  9. Why panpsychism is a better explanation than dualism or materialism for the origins of consciousness
  10. Pantheism (God is everything) is the conclusion he came to from my own experiences and all the research he conducted.
  11. Ren's sign from God that Jesus is real.

Despite centuries of analyses and debates between scientists and philosophers, consciousness remains puzzling and controversial. It is the most familiar yet mysterious aspect of our lives. There might be different levels of consciousness, different kinds of consciousness, or just one kind with different features. Modern research into the human brain is yet to provide conclusive answers, and we don’t know if animals, insects, or plants are conscious, or even the universe itself.

The contrasting range of research suggests that a new approach might be needed -- one that includes both an objective scientific view and a subjective philosophical and spiritual view -- in order to unlock the mystery. All Is One investigates how consciousness fits into a larger picture of the universe by exploring what science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality have to say on the matter and offers a conclusive definition of consciousness that might satisfy both the scientifically oriented and spiritually oriented reader.

Stephen Berkley, Writer/Director/Producer
Although Stephen has worked in multiple capacities inside the entertainment/media industry for over 30 years, Living With Ghosts is his first fully self-produced feature film. The story idea came with the death of Stephen’s father when — shortly afterwards — his mother began reporting interactions with whom she believed to be Dad's ghost — a real-life Mrs. Muir situation. Which naturally begged the question: Are ghosts a real phenomenon or are they merely symptomatic of profound grief? Living With Ghosts is the culmination of a seven-year investigation into the nature of love, death, and ghosts and features three survivors' quest for answers.

Celine O’Donovan is a native of Salthill, Galway. Following an international career in marketing for over 25 years she is now a published author.

This change in direction was accelerated by personal lessons Celine learned after her diagnosis of breast cancer in 2016 and its aftermath.

Her message; nothing happens by chance and all life events are sent to spur spiritual growth and enable us to fulfill our individual gifts.

This re-framing of how we see our lives now shapes Celine's writing. Her mission is to create personal and practical 'epiphany' moments that allow her readers to discover this for themselves.

Themes of creative expression, authenticity and personal sovereignty are explored through the author’s personal journey that was prompted by her cancer experience.

Gifts from the Devastation is broken down into 3 distinct parts reflecting the different stages she went through:

Part 1 - Healing (Her life pre-cancer, going on an inner journey and the healing it brought about in her life, not just her body.)

Part 2 – Transformation (What she learned, integrating it and a finding a new way of being in the world)

Part – Co-Creating your life (Realising that we are creating our lives by my thoughts, feelings, behaviors, energy – intention, alignment, take action)

You guys keep asking tough questions. This one revolves around punishment in the afterlife. It seems a lot of people are upset that there might not be punishment after we die.

This was an intriguing conversation about reconnecting with ourselves, our ancestors, our neighbors, and the land we live on. Many of us are feeling lonely, isolated, and lost. Becca shares how we can reclaim these lost connections.

Becca guides us to understanding true belonging - to each other, to the earth, to our lineage, and to ourselves. As the author of Root & Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect with Land, Lineage, Community, and the Earth and host of the Belonging podcast, Becca supports us through the isolating effects of the modern world.

To contact Becca:
ℹ️ http://rootandritualbook.com/ or https://beccapiastrelli.com/book/

Some of the things we discussed:

  • Why the current time we live in is called The Age of Loneliness
  • How can loneliness negatively impact us and how is it different from solitude
  • How we can undo the spell of loneliness through ritual and by looking to how our ancestors used to live? (without having to live off the grid)
  • What is the importance of bringing what’s sacred back into the mundane of our daily lives as a way to find meaning and support our mental health in this time of Pandemic?
  • Some examples of rituals, recipes, and activities to support you in feeling a deeper sense of connection and meaning in your daily life

Celebrity gossip? Just two millionaires behaving badly? None of our business? Will Smith slapped the sh*t (using Chris' word) out of Chris Rock on live national TV. And, the country can't stop talking about it.

As you know, I disagree with all of the above. Everything is a teaching and a learning moment. This one is rich with things to contemplate:

  • Toxic masculinity
  • Feminism
  • Black men stereotypes
  • Trauma response
  • Should we judge
  • Violence in our society
  • Comedy- what's off limits
  • Compassion

In this episode, I explain how I think this incident is something we should all be interested in.

Edy Nathan is the bestselling author of It's Grief, where she examines the emotional and devastating impact of loss and trauma. Grief is hard to talk about.

Edy teaches you to dance with your grief, to know it as a way to know yourself. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or the loss of a limb or the loss of the life you once knew, it is your soul that offers the answers to relief. An essential element in her practice is to offer clients the chance to combine psychotherapy with a deeper, more spiritual understanding of the self. She is dedicated to helping people understand their grief, cope with the fear and struggle that holds them back, and learn to live fully.

We briefly discuss the NDE she had in utero, which she believes shaped her life. She helps people recover and integrate NDEs working with ACISTE (American Center for the Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences).

Susanne Seymoure had a bad feeling about putting on her scarf on that winter day when she was 12 years old. Her mother insisted and Susanne wore the scarf that would get caught up in the ski lift and send her to heaven where she met Jesus and the Angels.

I greatly enjoyed my conversation with Zoey Greco. She is a fascinating young woman who has embraced her intuitive nature and is dedicated to helping you embrace yours.

Born in New York City, raised in rural Connecticut, evolved in Southern California, and now rooted in Arizona, Zoey Greco is an obvious amalgamation of the influences she has experienced in her personal journey.

As an Aries sun, Cancer Rising, and Sagittarius moon, Zoey is a striking balance of both passion and compassion. When Zoey isn’t sharing her gifts as a Spiritual Guide, Intuitive Development Mentor, or Sound Healing facilitator, she can be found busting out of escape rooms with her husband, enjoying the indulgent pleasures of fine dining with friends, or playing her sitar alone in her studio. Zoey’s more philanthropic focuses are centered on intersectional inclusion and diverse representation, sustainability, animal welfare, and reproductive rights.

For 20 years, Rose Thornton enjoyed a national reputation as an expert on old houses. The author of ten books, Rose has been featured on everything from PBS’ “History Detectives” to BBC Radio. In 2016, her husband died by suicide. Two years later, Rose was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

After a “routine” medical procedure, Rose bled to death. In heaven, she was told that if she agreed to return to earth, she’d be restored to wholeness. Subsequently, medical tests affirmed that not only had the disease disappeared, but she was also healed of the crippling grief. Rose got a literal reset on her life after her "death".

This is my second interview with Rose. She does a wonderful job of telling her story. Her book is now available. It's "Remembering The Light- How Dying Saved My Life" by Rose Thornton.

When Aaron Schaeffer died, his mother Cathy Jane Jensen knew that could not be the end. The "loss" of her son set her on a quest that has turned into a worldwide mission.

Religion asks us to believe without questioning. Atheistic Materialism is no better. Acquiring a truth for yourself is a very different process than accepting a belief. Cathy is determined to help as many people as possible discover the truth for themselves.

Cathy's book is chock full of evidence that this world is far from the mechanistic, cold place we have been led to believe it is. The book chronicles many of her experiences with her son Aaron and others previously referred to as "dead". Cathy also has filled the book with valuable resources to help you from both a scientific and philosophical perspective. Our conversation in this interview touches on all of this. Cathy wants to help people understand and overcome the subconscious beliefs we all hold that keep us from fully understanding who and what we are.

This mindful Monday moment was inspired by a comment on Penny Wittbrodt's NDE. A viewer wrote that she was tracking right along with Penny until Penny said we choose to have tragedies in our lives. This makes no sense. Why would anyone choose to be less than 100% happy all the time, if given the choice? Natalie Sudman's NDE has also prompted a lot of discussion about Natalie choosing to come back to Earth with serious injuries.

There are reasons. Listen to find out why I believe we do choose to endure suffering.

I spoke with Crystal about life after the suicide of her sister Gina, in 2019. Crystal was raised Mormon and the suicide of her sister tested her faith and caused her to wrestle with guilt. It ultimately led to Crystal forming two businesses to help others deal with these same things.

Crystal Partney is an author, speaker, suicide grief coach, and founder of Scattering Hope and Owl & Thistle.

She is also the host of the upcoming You Are Loved Podcast. The day before her 32nd birthday in 2019, would be the day that changed her life forever. Little did Crystal know; she would receive the devastating news that her sister Gina had taken her life that morning. After this tragedy, Crystal needed the next steps on how to begin the healing process. She discovered that the first 30 days are often the most important step when it comes to healing after suicide. Crystal wants to thank you for saying, “Yes” to beginning your journey towards healing.

Not everyone has a Lifetime Television biopic starring Heather Locklear. But, my guest for this episode does.

Kristine Carlson is a New York Times bestselling author and renowned speaker recognized worldwide for the global success of The Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff book series she co-authored with her late husband Dr. Richard Carlson.

Her latest book, Heartbroken Open, a life-changing memoir, has become a Lifetime Television biopic starring Heather Locklear. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story had its premiere on the network on October 16, 2021.

With over 30 million books in print, Carlson has emerged as a leading mindfulness expert and transformational guide who has been featured on national radio and television broadcasts, including The Today Show, The View, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 2010, she was awarded the Kennedy Laureate Award by John F. Kennedy University alongside the iconic chef Alice Waters and CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

In addition to her books Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Women, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff in Love, and Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Moms, Carlson’s other titles include An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love (a tribute to her husband), and her seminal self-help book for leading readers out of the pain of loss and into a new future — From Heartbreak to Wholeness: The Hero’s Journey to Joy.

Through her beloved women’s retreats, including her signature What Now? program, Carlson serves as a guide for women navigating transition and change of all kinds — showing them how to live their most vibrant, joyous, and fulfilling life in their next chapter.

Through her popular podcast Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Live the Big Stuff, Carlson’s depth, realness, and ever-present humor shine through each memorable episode. Her popular video-based, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Happiness Training Courses (on Dontsweat.com) teach people how to find inspiration and direction right in the midst of life’s uncertainties — helping individuals around the world to move from overwhelming anxiety to an abiding optimism and trust in life. These courses feature exclusive video footage of her late husband, Dr. Richard Carlson.

She is on the advisory board of Modern Widows Club and on the Global Leadership Council of Challenge Day.

Carlson has two daughters and five grandchildren. In her spare time, she loves to exercise – boot camp fitness classes, yoga or hiking. She also is an inspirational speaker and leads women’s retreats all over the world. Her mission is to show people that it is possible to love your life again after profound loss and major change — and to discover that more laughter, love, and happiness await you.

As the parent of a child who survived the passing of her sister, I know one of the biggest concerns, when a child dies early, is, "How do I help my other child?"

Michele Benyo is a mom of two, a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, an early childhood parent coach, and the founder of Good Grief Parenting. After her 6-year-old son died of cancer, her 3-year-old daughter said, “Mommy, half of me is gone.”

This heartbreaking statement defined Michele’s life purpose. Her mission is twofold: to help parents through the unimaginable challenges of parenting while grieving the death of a child, and to help parents meet the unique needs of a child who has lost a sibling in the early childhood years.

In Part 3 of our conversation, I ask Alba questions to fill in some of the details of her experience. We learn what the accident is that caused Aurelia's passing. We learn more details about her dreams that predicted the event. And, we learn where Alba is today, after having had the experience.

Alba Monn is an author and a mother who had a fascinating experience with the birth of one of her children, Aurelia. Alba had a near-death experience that changed her life. It was, in actuality, a shared death experience, as you will learn when you hear her story.

I’ve broken this very special episode into three parts. In parts 1 and 2, I get out of the way and let Alba tell her story as she recalls it. It might be a bit confusing in parts because the story doesn’t begin on the night her daughter was delivered in an emergency situation, it begins years earlier. In part 3, I ask Alba to go into more detail and we discuss the lessons from her absolutely amazing experience.

In her experience, Alba learned:
Forgiveness is absolutely essential for our soul’s well-being
 Souls have no age
Humans are all flawed equally and differently,
 A life can have profound meaning no matter how short the time here on Earth
Something prepares us for the tough lessons we’re about to encounter if we pay attention
 Tragedy is less of a punishment and more of an opportunity

Her book tells the story about healing after the loss of her child, PROOF OF ETERNITY by Alba Monn. It is intended to give hope to everyone who has lost a loved one, especially their own child. It's available on Amazon as an ebook.

Sandra Champlain is the host of We Don't Die, a popular podcast; the author of We Don't Die, a bestselling book; and the single biggest reason I started podcasting.

Sandra was a lifelong skeptic about the afterlife. But, she also feared death. Her investigative and skeptical mind led her to delve deeply into afterlife studies to know for herself what is true and what is not. Sandra not only studies the afterlife, she's hands-on trying things like Electronic Voice Phenomenon, channel, mental mediumship, attending physical mediumship demonstrations, and even traveling to Arthur Findlay College, the "Hogwarts of Mediumship".

Sandra is a much sought-after speaker and a friend for several years. I was finally able to find enough time in her busy schedule to get her on Grief to Growth for an hour.

You can find more about Sandra on her website, including information on her new show Shades of the Afterlife on Coast to Coast radio.

In this scintillating conversation, Dr. Kovacs and I discuss the nature of consciousness and who we are as human beings. We talk about the deep truths behind ancient myths. Dr. Kovacs has been exploring the nature of consciousness her whole life. This was greatly accelerated when, within a three-year period, her mother, her son, and then her husband were killed in three separate automobile accidents. While she had studied shamanism before her son’s accident, she and her husband actually experienced their son’s consciousness after his death for an extended period of time. These experiences completely changed their lives.

Betty J. Kovacs, Ph.D. earned her doctorate from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language. She taught Literature, Writing, and Symbolic/Mythic Language for twenty-five years. She served many years as Chair and Program Chair on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation. Dr. Kovacs is the author of Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and the Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize. She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life.

Her first book, The Miracle of Death, is about these altered states of consciousness. After her retirement, she began an intensified period of research into our ancestors’ experience of a vaster consciousness, Cosmic/Christ Consciousness, which she relates in her new book, Merchants of Light.

I am happy and hopeful to share this special episode with you. All of my episodes are special. But, in this one, I discuss a particular type of pain that some of us suffered at the hands of toxic theology. I hope it helps someone who listens. If you know someone it could help, please share.

In this episode, Dr. Purcell and I discuss how similar our childhoods were due to the teaching that God made us imperfect and we were deserving of eternal torment for that reason. We both struggled for decades trying to reconcile this teaching with our hearts. Traditional Christianity is literally insanity.

In this episode, we discuss the evil god of Calvinism not loving enough to save everyone; who in fact, creates most people just to throw them into eternal torment. We discuss the weak god of Arminianism who wishes he could save everyone, but it’s beyond his capability to do so. And, we talk about who/what we believe to be the true God who not only loves everyone but actually knows what He’s doing.

Dr. Boyd C. Purcell holds an undergraduate college degree in Comprehensive Social Studies from B.G.S.U. He also has a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling from Bowling Green State University.
His Master of Divinity Degree is in Biblical Studies from Ashland University Theological Seminary. Dr. Boyd’s doctorate is in the integration of psychology and theology.

He is a retired hospice chaplain, having provided comforting spiritual care to hundreds of dying patients.

Dr. Purcell has experience as a psychotherapist on the Christian Therapy Unit of a psychiatric hospital. He has taught counseling courses to students earning their Master of Arts Degree in Counseling at Marshall University Graduate College.

He pastored an Evangelical Church for 15 years until condemned by the denominational officials for coming to believe in too much of God's all-inclusive, unconditional, everlasting love, amazing grace, infinite mercy, and perfect justice for all people everywhere in the whole world!

He has written several books including:

"Spiritual Terrorism: Spiritual Abuse from the Womb to the Tomb"
"Christianity Without Insanity: For Mental/Emotional/Physical Health."
"Symbolic Fire in the Holy Bible A Thru A," the subtitle, "God is Fire/Baptism of Fire/Salted with Fire."

Leslie Lindsey Davis is the author of the book "You Can't Eat Love" where she shares the lessons she learned on a journey to learn to love herself. Part of the work was finally dealing with the ungrieved loss of her mother decades before.

Leslie learned how to name and honor the emotions that she had kept shoving down. It was not until she began to confront the emotions, especially the grief that she was able to set aside her 'drug of choice' - food.

Her least favorite phrase as it relates to grief is "you'll get over it" followed quickly by "aren't you over that yet?" As part of her journey, Leslie lost over 100 pounds when she learned the art of self-love and how to process her grief properly. Her book helps others learn these same lessons. How do you heal in a world that wants to keep moving forward and doesn't want to hear about your pain?

Frances Key is the scribe of a four-book series called The Team: A Mother's Wisdom from the Other Side. She began writing the books 19 days after her mother died when she sensed her mother communicating important spiritual insights to her. She considers the true authors of the books to be her mother, Teddy Key, and the spiritual team she rejoined after she died.

If you've listened to me for any length of time, you are aware I am obsessed with these books. I first interviewed Frankie in May of 2020. I have participated in a book study she led. And, I've read The Team books no less than three times, maybe almost as many times as she has read them. I find myself referring to concepts in the books continually.

The first book was received from Teddy, while Books 2, 3, and 4 carry the energy of both Teddy and other teammates who came through to share their perspectives on life and death. In this interview, I discuss with her some of the concepts in Book 4.

This is Dr. Valla's second appearance on Grief 2 Growth. In May 2020, Dr. Valla and I spoke about healing our inner child within. In this episode, we focus on difficult life situations. Are they planned? If so, why would we do that?!

The topic of this episode was inspired by the origin of Dr. Valla's work, which is working with disabled children. Why would a person choose to have a disabled child? Why would someone choose to come to this planet disabled?

Rebecca is a Psychiatrist, has been a lifelong spiritual seeker, and has also been involved for nearly 10 years with IANDS, an organization devoted to Near-Death and related Experiences. She has worked extensively with developmentally disabled children and adults, both before and after her training as a Psychiatrist.

There is a grief experience that is very common when a child is born with a disability. Sometimes, that child's developmental problem isn't known at birth but becomes known at a later time. The grief appears whenever loved ones realize that their child will have a growth path that is not as expected for most of their peers.

Sometimes, their survival is not assured or is thought to be shortened for the long term. Sometimes they require a great deal of care both medically and to meet their basic survival needs at home, which requires intense
adjustment on the part of family and others. Some situations require a decision at some point along the way, as to whether the child can best be cared for in the home. There may be talk of a need for "institutionalized" care. The poignancy of the pain of these families may obscure the opportunities for growth, love and connection, and joy. There is a process of healing and learning that demands work, and brings with it the experience of self-discovery and personal expansion.

Krista St-Germain is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, widow, mom, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast.

When her husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2016, Krista’s life was completely and unexpectedly flipped upside down. After therapy helped her unfurl from the fetal position, Krista discovered Life Coaching, Post Traumatic Growth and learned the tools she needed to move forward and create a future she could get excited about. Now she coaches and teaches other widows so they can love life again, too.

In this episode we discuss:

1) Why do traumatic situations often feel like a movie playing out before your eyes?

2) What is Post Traumatic Growth: Scientists have now discovered that loss can actually be a catalyst for growth and a source of resilience and strength.

3) The myths about grief stages: The popular “5 stages of grief” actually isn’t based on the grief of losing a loved one.

4) What the widow/survivor fog is: Feel like you’ve been in a daze after losing your partner/child/parent? Forgetting to pay the mortgage? Forgetting to pick up the kids from school? This is VERY normal and Krista can explain why your brain might be feeling a little foggy.

5) Why you must take care of yourself first: Remember the last time you were on an airplane? Didn’t your flight attendant remind you to take care of yourself before you try to assist others in case of an emergency? The same is true with grief. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Here Krista can share why you have to process your grief and trauma in order to ever be able to help your kids through their grief too.

6) The truth about moving forward: You won’t move on, you won’t get over it, but you WILL figure out how to love your spouse/child/parent, miss them and keep on living.

Bridget Finklaire is an author and spiritual teacher. We had a wide-ranging discussion as she has a wealth of knowledge to share that comes from years of experience. She's a wealth of knowledge. I started with six pages of notes and we only got to about half of what I wanted to talk to her about in our hour together.

Bridget is originally from the UK and lived in London for many years before moving to Cape Town, South Africa. She is a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and healer, and used to work in London's Harley Street.

Since 1995, Bridget has been on a journey of spiritual awakening. She's studied and taught many spiritual, metaphysical, and personal development teachings and explored different techniques – from meditation to yoga and from chanting to prayer. She currently facilitates a study group for The Book of Knowledge, The Keys of Enoch (r) by Dr. JJ Hurtak.

In 2012, Bridget began coaching people to create their lives 'on purpose' - purposefully and according to their soul's purpose. In 2018, she pulled together three distinct areas of her expertise to create The Bone Circle - a unique, transformative, and life-changing program.

Her novel "Red Dress" is available in July 2021. It's based on her life's work and has been compared to Eat, Pray, Love. It incorporates many of her spiritual teachings into an entertaining package.

Her 'why' is transformation. Her core message is 'love is the way.'

Anthony Chene attended business school and began a career in finance before realizing that was not his life’s passion.

After graduating in media journalism and audiovisual production, Anthony worked as a video reporter within companies, media agencies, and TV channels.

Now, Anthony works as a freelancer (DOP, director, or video reporter) for various clients, and develops his own projects (documentaries, video clips, fiction). Millions of people have watched his films on YouTube.

I learned about Anthony from watching his interviews on his YouTube channel. Anthony creates beautiful films of interviews with Near-Death Experiences and documentaries that answer the deepest questions about life, who we are, and why we are here.

I coaxed Anthony to come out from behind the camera and the microphone and to sit in the hot seat so his fans could get to know something about the man behind these life-changing works of art. I've been a fan of Anthony's for a couple of years. I hope this interview will help his fans know him a little better.

Anthony is based in France, and travels on a regular basis for his productions.

Dr. Lozano reached out to me to tell me about her work with using hypnosis for past life and life between life regressions. It's something I've always been curious about. So, we agreed that I would give it a try before having her on the program.

Vondie is a Life Between Lives hypnotherapist. She’s also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and former Psychology Professor who’s been featured in Cosmopolitan, the Wall Street Journal, and on KABC Talk Radio.

LBL hypnosis can help people connect with their soul's true identity and purpose. The hit movie, Soul, is about what souls do before they’re born. As a Life Between Lives® Hypnotherapist, Vondie helps people discover what their soul does after they die, before they’re born into a new life.
Grief 2 Growth listeners mention the show for 10% off any single session with Dr. Lozano before the end of 2021.

Rich guides, coaches, writes and speaks to help entrepreneurs, CEOs, adventurers, and go-getters rewrite their stories, get unstuck and live their dreams. As a story expert, passionate student of neuroscience, positive psychology, and behavioral psychology, Rich believes in a world where people are invested in the process of being better tomorrow than they are today.

After we have lost a loved one one of the most sought-after signs is a "dream visit". We hear about them all the time. But, what do we know about them from a scientific viewpoint?

Dr. Joshua Black is a grief researcher, speaker, author, consultant, online course instructor, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. He has focused all of his MA and Ph.D. research (in psychology) on investigating dreams in bereavement (also known as grief dreams) and continuing bonds from many types of loss (including prenatal loss and pet loss).

Most of his academic research and publications have specifically been on dreams of the deceased. Dr. Black is considered one of the world’s leading academic experts in grief dreams. Due to the lack of academic research in this field, Dr. Black has focused his efforts on raising awareness on grief dreams through doing talks, interviews, and developing an online Grief Dreams course.

Additionally, he developed a grief dreams website (www.griefdreams.ca) and runs several social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @griefdreams).

Addie Babington is a psychic medium, a channel for non-physical communication, whether that is passed loved ones, higher vibrational being such as guides or Angels or messages from a person's your higher mind/soul.

Addie's passion is teaching and spreading the word of Self-Mastery and understanding how to navigate physical reality by connecting the physical mind to the higher mind and Source/God.

I met Addie a few weeks before this when she did a reading for me and Shayna blasted through (as always) loud and clear. I have taken some mediumship training with Addie and am fascinated with her deep and rich understanding of who we are and why we are here.

This interview is definitely not Metaphysics 101. We get into some deep stuff that will make your head spin. You might have to listen to it a couple of times to really get it all. If you liked my episodes with Roland Achenjang and/or Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, you'll love this one.

Dolores Cruz grew up in Los Angeles where she attended USC as a Theatre Arts major.

While working full time as an elementary school teacher, and part-time as a dance teacher at a local dance studio, she and Joey raised their 4 children – Nicholas, Jessica, Vanessa, and Eric. Dolores never hesitates to mention that Eric came as a total surprise, against the odds, and brought even more joy to their family than they already had as they continued to live a very busy, full life as a family of 6.

On May 12 of 2017, tragedy struck when Eric was killed in a car accident on his way home late one night after being out with some co-workers. In deep grief and despair from the reality that now her beautiful life as a mother of 4 was shattered, Dolores began a search for answers as to how this could happen. Dolores is a fellow Shining Light Parent in Helping Parents Heal.

Dolores is the author of Look Around; A Mother’s Journey from Grief and Despair to Healing and Hope. Her book not only tells the story of her spiritual journey, but also tells about Eric, who he was, how he touched all those around him, and how she now understands that he was meant to come to this world for a short time so that his family could continue to learn and grow and pass on his legacy of love. Dolores continues to honor Eric by sharing healing and hope with other parents whose children have transitioned as an Affiliate Leader and Caring Listener with Helping Parents Heal.

Dolores is a retired school teacher who now teaches tap dance through the local community college. She takes yoga classes and acting classes, and enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors enjoying nature. She resides in Los Angeles with her husband and their two boxer dogs.

Meeting Lisa was like meeting another version of myself in terms of the conclusions we have come to after years of observation of the human condition. I learned so much about understanding the why of what I have observed during our talk. In our work with clients, we have found that the issues we face, while unique in their particulars, are actually pretty much universal. And, by recognizing the patterns, we can break them. By realizing we are not alone, we can break the cycle of shame and guilt and work on these subconscious patterns that cause us to self-sabotage.

Lisa Samet, ND, has been in private practice for almost 25 years, specializing in holistic healing to help patients lead more balanced lives. In recent years, she has expanded her offerings from Homeopathy and Nutrition to include “Emotional Repatterning,” a method of self-inquiry and self-awareness to shift deep subconscious beliefs and patterns which keep us emotionally stuck. Her passion for her work is evident in her new book, Emotional Repatterning: Healing Emotional Pain by Rewiring the Brain.

I greatly enjoyed my talk with Petia, an amazing energetic force. While Petia works primarily with women, I personally got a lot out of our conversation.

Petia Kolibova is a women’s transformation coach who helps women who have been pushed down and been playing it small due to toxic relationships or unhealed childhood trauma to create a life that is true to them and their soul purpose.

Her mission is to help women who are on the path to healing from past wounds move through their limiting beliefs and internal blocks so they can finally do what they want to do, what feels good to them, serve other women in a powerful way online.

Petia pairs feminine flow with strategic planning to give entrepreneurs immense clarity + exact steps to transition from side-hustler to CEO.

If she is not interviewing on her podcast Unapologetically Abundant, working out, or reading, you will find her in nature disconnecting from the world, connecting to herself.

Curtis Childs is the director and host of Off The Left Eye, a Swedenborg Foundation. Emmanuel Swedenborg was an 18th century Renaissance man, who late in life began having spiritual experiences and wrote about them in a series of books that are as relevant today as they were then. Swedenborg was ahead of his time when it comes to science and medicine and his in-depth knowledge of those fields helped him understand when angels and spirits revealed to him what the "Spirit World" is like.

You might wonder how an 18th-century scientist, politician, philosopher, and theologian you've never heard of can help you today. I wondered the same thing until I discovered the program. I have been fascinated by the insights I've picked up there and how so many relate to what people who have had Near Death Experiences tell us.

Curtis helps others understand how Swedenborg can help us understand things in the Bible and about the Spirit World that are often beyond our grasp. In his program, and in this interview, he makes these difficult concepts easier. I've been a fan for over five years. I was a little starstruck sitting down with Curtis and getting to pick his brain on Swedenborg.

Stephanie Arnold knew she was going to die in childbirth. For months, she told everybody she knew. She sought out doctors to try to get them to be prepared to save her life. And, when she delivered by Caesarean section, her heart stopped. For 37 seconds, Stephanie was dead.

In this interview, we discuss what led to Stephanie's premonition and how she advocated for herself, possibly saving her life. She tells us about what she remembers from the "Other Side" and we discuss why some people who flatline have no recollection of anything beyond this world. Stephanie came back with some very specific messages for people here from people she had not met in this life.

Stephanie is also featured in the Netflix documentary: Surviving Death

Judy Unger is a Shining Light mother. Judy's five year old son Jason passed away in 1992 at the tender age of 5 years old. Jason had a severe congenital heart defect.

Judy's grief journey was unusual in that it was 18 years later, in 2010, at the age of 50, that Judy really began processing her grief. She joined Compassionate Friends and even led a group after Jason passed. But, it wasn't until her parents' health challenges in 2010 that Judy was broken open and experienced a creative and emotional renaissance.

I met Judy just a week or so before we recorded this interview. She joined a circle I created on Insight Timer and shared with us her course: "Healing Grief Through Music". Judy has repurposed songs she wrote early in her life and songs she wrote while she was going through her parents' health issues into a series of 10 daily lessons that beautifully portray the highs and lows of grief. I found the course to be an excellent one for anyone in the early stages of grief or really any stage.

Dr. Hensley's parents knew she was special before she was born. Celestial beings visited her father and told her she would be special. When you watch this interview, you'll realize they were right. She is a powerful being. Her joy, wit, wisdom, and pure love of life comes at you when you're engaged in a conversation with her.

Like many of my NDE interviews, we had technical issues. Her camera on her laptop wouldn't work, even though she had done a Zoom the day before. Then, the signal in her building was too weak to do the interview with her phone. Finally, undeterred, she did the interview from her car parked on the side of the road. We were not going to be stopped!

Dr. Hensley is a chiropractor and metaphysical healer. She had a near-death experience at the age of 21, a wake-up call of sorts.

In this conversation, we discuss her experience, what she learned and how all of us can learn the lessons of an NDE without having an NDE.

Grab some popcorn and get ready to be entertained. Lionel Friedberg is a man who has lived a full and adventurous life. We could hardly do it justice in this short format. But, we took a good shot at it.

Lionel was born in South Africa. As a white boy growing up during apartheid, at an early age, he was introduced to African shamanism and it made a lifelong impression on him.

As a young man, a Black friend took Lionel to see a sangoma, a medicine woman. This woman told Lionel about what awaited him in life decades in the future. Today, nearly 60 years later her prophecies are still coming true.

Lionel's adventures would take him around the world and back to South Africa to seek healing for the illness she would come to him.

In this interview, we discuss his adventures and what he has learned about the nature of reality including how our ancestors are parts of our lives, shamanic prophecy, energy healing, exorcism, near-death experiences, even UFOs.

Lionel's book is available at:

Srini Chandra is one of the wisest and most compassionate people I know. I met Srini several years ago when he reached out to me to review his book 3 Lives in Search of Bliss. It's a book I've read several times (we discuss it a little in the interview). I was struck by his knowledge of several religious traditions including Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Over the years, Srini and I have grown to be friends even though I hadn't spoken with him until a couple of months ago when he took my course on racism. He's kept me humble and grounded as we discuss how the nature of the ultimate reality and how that plays into our day-to-day lives on all fronts.

This is part 2 of a 2 part discussion on these religious and wisdom traditions, the nature of science, who is man, why we are here, and what can we do to achieve bliss.

This is a great episode to kick off the new year, recorded the last week of December 2020, we talk a bit about where Susanne sees things headed in our future.

I've known Susanne for almost five years. Through a series of synchronicities, Susanne was one of the first medium readings I ever had and man did she set the bar high.

Susanne is a natural medium. It runs in her family and she has been seeing and hearing from Spirit since she was a little girl. She was highly successful in the corporate world before deciding to take up mediumship and spiritual teaching as a full-time profession.

Today, Susanne is in demand around the world for her spiritual insights, her teaching, her meditations, etc. Her book Soul Smart- What The Dead Teach Us About Spirit Communication is the book I recommend when people ask me "What is the best book I can read on spirit communication".

For more about Susanne's offerings, visit her website:

This is an extra special interview. Yes, they're all special. Some are extra.

Teri and I became Facebook friends a while back. I've enjoyed reading Teri's posts over time. I knew she had a neurological disorder. But, I didn't know what it was until she started soliciting feedback for the title and the cover of her upcoming memoir. I asked to interview her on my podcast. That's when I found out Teri is paralyzed and communicates by typing with her eyes.

Teri has ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. She has been on an incredible journey since being diagnosed just a few months after being married. This journey is chronicled in her incredible memoir- No Pressure, No Diamonds. One proposed title was "I wrote this with my f*cking eyes, you should read it with yours." But, Teri didn't go with that one.

I have just finished reading Teri’s book. I have to admit I shed more than one tear. I’m impressed not just by Teri’s wit but by her grit. The story of how she and her husband John have handled the diagnosis and the progression of the illness is truly inspiring.

Teri comes into this with the background of being a Buddhist and a professional therapist.

This is truly one of the best books I have ever read. I’m going to go out on a limb and put it up there with Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning”. It’s much more accessible and her wit combined with the wisdom makes a very difficult subject palatable. Her book is titled No Pressure No Diamonds- Teri Dillion. It’s available on Amazon. I got the Kindle version and listened to the book.

We just skim the surface in this interview which took about three weeks to complete. I am overjoyed to be able to put it out into the world. I know Teri's book, her life, and her wisdom are going to touch people in a way I am happy to play some small role in.

Roberta Grimes had two experiences of light in childhood that prompted her to spent decades studying nearly 200 years of abundant and consistent afterlife evidence.

Eventually, she figured out what her experiences of light had been, and beyond that, she learned so many details about what happens at and after death that in 2010 she published The Fun of Dying - Find Out What Really Happens Next. Her 2014 sequel was The Fun of Staying in Touch – How Our Loved Ones Contact Us and How We Can Contact Them, after which in 2015 came Liberating Jesus. Her 2016 book, The Fun of Growing Forever – We Can’t Transform the World Until We Transform Ourselves, demonstrates how well the Gospel teachings of Jesus work to help us develop spiritually.

Then in 2017, she published The Fun of Living Together – We Must Learn to Live Together as Brothers or perish Together as Fools, which explains how we can heal our racial problems in one generation. A graduate of Smith College and Boston University School of Law, Roberta does a weekly radio program and podcast called “Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes” on WebTalkRadio.net and many other venues.

She blogs and answers questions at robertagrimes.com.

Paige's spiritual awakening came abruptly and forcefully after her 23-year old son, Bryan, was brutally murdered in September 2008. Just as the only world she’d ever known was shattered, a new world opened. A world filled with Hope, Spirit, and Love; a world that allowed her not only to continue having a relationship with her son, but a world that opened her own true self into being. 

In this interview Paige and I discuss some very tough questions that people ask after their children have passed. This conversation may be upsetting for some.

2,000 days

48,000 hours

5.479 years

That's how long it's been since my life changed forever. June 24th, 2015 was the day that my daughter Shayna Elayne left this Earthly plane.  Today is December 14th, 2020; otherwise known as 2,000 days A.S.

This morning I woke up, and thought about how things have changed since June 24th, 2015. 

I got up, and I looked at my blog that I started amazingly the day after Shayna passed. Something told me to document this journey similar to what C.S. Lewis did in his book “A Grief Observed”. I didn’t know why I was doing it. I just had to. Then, just a week later, I made the blog public.

p.s.- as a bonus, Shayna gave me a sign today. My YouTube channel hit 2,000 subscribers on this, the 2,000th day.

I've read The Team books two or three times. They contain some of the best afterlife and current life wisdom I've found anywhere. I met the author, Frances Key over a year ago when I participated in a book study of the first book.

On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Gloria Crystal "Teddy" Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her beautiful voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state. Through a variety of experiences including automatic writing, direct contact, and sudden downloads of information, this remarkable collection of insight was handwritten in less than a year. Divided into four books, the Team material has astounded a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, wit, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the human experience.

In this interview with Stephen Weber and his partner Katherine Plant, we discuss the accident that led to his life-altering Near-Death Experience. As happens with many Near-Death Experiences, Stephen is a different person now than he was before his experience.

Stephen Weber, a Technology Project Manager, and Katherine Plant, a childcare worker, and reiki practitioner, live in Northport, Long Island, New York.

After an accident left Stephen, a loving father in a coma, on the verge of life and death, he traveled to another place. On the outside, he was in a hospital bed; but, on the inside, he was in a place he calls, “The Place Between Here and There.” It was a place where time did not exist; where people were spirits; and where he learned the wisdom of the universe. This book details his journey to this wondrous place, then back to Earth, where he must rehabilitate from grave injuries, only to then experience the worst tragedy a parent can imagine- the passing of his son.

Nicky's publicist reached out to me to interview her for the podcast. When I read the description of her book, I knew it was one I had to read.

In her book, M.E., Myself & I Nicky chronicles her amazing life from the time she was 9 years old and her father transitioned in a car accident to the ups and downs of being at the pinnacles of two careers and having everything taken from her (and I mean everything). After being on top of the world as an internationally known psychic medium Nicky was basically bedridden by Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome for five years. Her memoir reads like a novel. But, it's more proof that truth is stranger than fiction.

I immensely enjoyed my time with Nicky. From the very moment I saw her on the screen, her energy jumped out at me. It's hard to believe she still struggles with this chronic syndrome that drives many to despair and even suicide.

Nicky is a born Psychic Medium coming from many generations of psychics before her. She officially started her psychic work 28 years ago. For eighteen years she was also a Major Investigation bereavement trained Detective in Essex Police. Following medical retirement in 2003 and by public demand she has achieved a very high profile in the spiritual industry as a full-time International TV Psychic Medium, Spiritual Teacher, Angel Communicator, and Writer. Her debut book M.E Myself and I: Diary of a Psychic is inspirational!

Her YouTube channel is The Bedroom Guru.

I met Sally through Facebook. We have a mutual Facebook friend who communicates with his daughter in spirit via several methods.

Sally always intuitively knew she was cared for. But, about eleven years ago she went through a dark night of the soul that propelled her spiritual development forward. She began connecting on a deeper level and studying the afterlife.

At the time Sally had no idea her son Tommy would tragically and suddenly pass in an automobile accident in May 2019. Now, all of her hard work would be required to navigate this journey of grief.

Tommy began communicating with Sally immediately. Then, in August of this year, Tommy found a new way to communicate with Sally that was beyond her wildest dreams.

This interview with David Richman went so well. I can't wait for you to hear it.

An entrepreneur, author, public speaker, athlete, and philanthropist, David Richman uses the lessons learned in his life to enrich and inspire others. As a former sedentary, over-weight, smoker, David knew that he needed to focus not on what others wanted out of him, but on what he wanted out of life.

Inspired by the passing of his sister due to brain cancer, David set out to chronicle the cancer journey of 15 cancer patients and caregivers. As an endurance athlete, he chose to ride his bicycle across country, 5,000 miles, to meet with each of them individually.

The metaphor for endurance athletics and enduring life comes up over and over in the book and in our conversation because it's such an apt metaphor.

All proceeds of the book go to charity. But, get it for your own edification knowing you're also helping cancer research.

Carolyn Clapper is among the best mediums in the world. I know many top-notch mediums and when it comes to the level of detail, accuracy, and information no one could possibly know any way other than a psychic connection, I cannot think of anyone who surpasses Carolyn.

Carolyn has seen spirits since she was a little girl. But, her life changed forever when she was re-born after a Near Death Experience on 11/11/11 and returned to Earth miraculously healed from meningitis with a mission to serve Spirit. She is a medical medium working with a team of doctors in Spirit, an evidential psychic medium, and a psychic who helps with cases the police can’t solve.

I met Rosemary when I hosted a panel discussion at the IANDS conference in the summer of 2020. Rosemary was a panelist discussing grief and how we can grow from it.

Rosemary's husband took his life and left a note blaming Rosemary. Many of us feel guilt over the passing of a spouse or a child. Fortunately, not many of have the added burden of being told it's our fault.

Two years later, Rosemary was diagnosed with cancer. As a result of one of her procedures, Rosemary died.

Rosemary got a reboot on the other side. Hear her story in this spellbinding interview. Rosemary is a prolific author and does an incredible job of telling this uplifting and healing story.

Well, she doesn't really talk to angels. But, I got the Black Crowes song stuck in my head when thinking about this episode. So, there you go!

I wanted to talk to Kim about her many years of experience with witnessing angels. Angels of protection, angels coming to take us Home, and angels apparently on a coffee break.

Kim is the author of “After the Light: The Spiritual Path to Purpose”, the founder of Seattle IANDS, etc., etc., etc. She has had several decades of service since her NDE while she was in college.

If you want to reach Kim, you can reach her through the Seattle IANDS website.

I met John several months ago when I invited him to appear at a Helping Parents Heal meeting. John told a fascinating tale of a Near-Death Experience that may be more detailed than any other I've ever heard. He was taken on a guided tour of "heaven" while he was out of his body and reports some fascinating details.

I asked John to share his experience for my Grief 2 Growth audience. John "died" while having surgery on his hand and found himself going through many of the familiar aspects of the Near-Death Experience culminating with a mission given to him to come back and deliver a message.

I've been following Bernardo Kastrup for a few years. He's a brilliant man with PhDs in both computer science and philosophy. His books "Why Materialism Is Baloney" and "More Than Allegory" have literally changed my life by giving me a deeper understanding of the origins of Everything.

Bernardo Kastrup's work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. This idea might seem for us born during this age of materialism. But, the idea is as old as mankind. It's what every religious tradition has always taught. What Bernardo brings is a logical way of coming to these same revelations.

Bernardo has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on 'Scientific American,' the 'Institute of Art and Ideas,' the 'Blog of the American Philosophical Association' and 'Big Think,' among others.

My long time friend, Dr. Mark Pitstick, and I had a wide-ranging chat on the nature of reality, the purpose of life, what awaits us after our physical body dies, and new develops in the field of technology, in particular, the SoulPhone, that will provide "proof" that we continue after our physical body ceases to function.

Mark Pitstick, MA, DC, has over forty-seven years’ experience and training in hospitals, pastoral counseling settings, mental health centers, and private practice. His training includes a premedical degree, graduate theology/pastoral counseling studies, master's in clinical psychology, and a doctorate in chiropractic health care. He also has provided suicide prevention counseling and education to many people.

Mark became aware of clairaudient experiences at age ten and has since been blessed with numerous miracles, revelatory, and spiritually transformative experiences.

After working in hospitals with many suffering and dying adults and children, he was motivated to find sensible, evidence-based answers to the questions that many people ask: “Who am I? Why am I here? What happens after I die? Will I see my departed loved ones again? Is there a God? If so, why is there so much suffering? and How can I best live during this brief earthly experience?”

Mark has written numerous books. On his website, you will find documentary films, CDs, and experiential workshops that address all of these questions and help you survive and even thrive through life’s biggest changes and challenges. Further, his work helps you discover how to enjoy the greatest life you have envisioned—no matter what your current circumstances.

Mark is also the Director of the SoulPhone Foundation.

I met Daniel about a year ago in a group for bereaved parents. Daniel was volunteering his time to help the parents out. I could immediately sense he is a sincere and generous guy with a high ethical standard.

Daniel was raised as a Christian, as was I. When his mediumship opened up spontaneously in January of 2017, he didn't know what had hit him. He wasn't sure he believed in mediumship and he thought if it were real, it incompatible with his Christian faith.

Daniel studied Christianity, the Bible and other texts and prayed hard before deciding that this was a gift from God to be use for God's purposes. Fast forward a few years and Daniel has done hundreds of readings that have brought healing and increased people's faith in God and the afterlife.

We discuss Daniel's journey and his new book "Why Are We Here?"

For more on Daniel, look him up on Facebook at Daniel John Medium. He does free readings every Monday night on Facebook Live.

Martha Hunt Handler is an environmentalist, an award-winning author, and the Board President of the Wolf Conservation Center. Martha is author of the new book Winter of the Wolf. For this interview, we discussed a wide range of topics including how tragedy helped form the story of her novel and how her life led to the 18-year journey to get the book out.

Winter of the Wolf is an exploration in grief, suicide, spiritualism, and Inuit culture, Winter of the Wolf follows Bean as she searches for the truth of her brother Sam’s “suicide.” Unconvinced her loving brother could commit such an act without warning, Bean pulls herself from her grief to become a part-time detective and shaman.

Martha Hunt Handler grew up in northern Illinois dreaming about wolves and has always understood that her role in this lifetime is to tell stories and be a voice for nature. She has been an environmental consultant, a magazine columnist, an actress, and a polar explorer, among other occupations. She has also driven across the country in an 18-wheeler and been a grand-prize winner of The Newlywed Game.

Soon after she and her family relocated from Los Angeles to South Salem, New York, she began to hear wolves in her backyard. This was the start of her twenty-plus-year career as an advocate for wolves at the Wolf Conservation Center, where she currently serves as Board President.

Karen was a physical therapist at Alaska Hospital and Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska in 1982 when she was the 32-year-old mother of a daughter, 9 years old, and a son, 6 years old. She and her husband had moved their family there from a small upstate New York town the previous year. Karen injured her back and had to have spinal surgery. Her near-death experience occurred during this surgery when the surgeon lacerated a major artery and she bled out on the operating room table.

Karen's extensive near-death experience involved what is called a veridical experience, which means that a third party was later able to verify what she saw take place while she was out of her body. Karen has been interviewed about her experience on several occasions and is one of several near-death experiencers who participated in the documentary, Back from the Light. Her previous interviews can be heard on YouTube. Most recently, her experience is one of 12 to be included in the Journal, Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics, A Journal of Qualitative Research affiliated with Johns Hopkins published in May 2020

David is a near-death experience (NDE)-inspired artist, composer, and author. He wants to use his NDE to make a positive difference in people's lives.

In 2006, he was dragged under a speeding train in a freak accident. As the surgeons fought to save him, he had a profound NDE. When he woke up in the hospital, he had acquired astonishing new abilities. David found he could paint dramatic paintings of what he had seen in the Afterlife, far beyond any artistic ability he had before. He then discovered he could compose classical music, having never received any training. To this day, he cannot read or write a single note of musical notation, and yet his debut NDE-inspired symphony, The Divine Light, was premiered at a sell-out orchestral concert to a standing ovation.

I enjoyed a pre-release copy of David's book SHINE ON: The Remarkable Story of How I Fell Under a Moving Train, Journeyed to the Afterlife, and the Astonishing Proof I Brought Back with Me is one of the most fascinating near-death experience books I have read and I've read several. Written in the style of a compelling novel, the book chronicles David's life before and after the NDE. The effects of David's NDE are undeniable. The book is scheduled for release in July 2020. If you're watching this before then, here's a preview of what you can expect.

You can visit David's website to see his artwork and listen to some of his music.

In this interview, Kim tells me about her experience in the light and the absolutely amazing path that opened up before her, including taking Toto and moving from Kansas to the Emerald City. (no joke).

Since her experience with the light, Kim has had extensive work in the medical field with the dying and with speaking with others who have had NDEs. She brings a wealth of knowledge and a wicked sense of humor to this engaging conversation.

She is the former Producer for the popular radio show created by Art Bell, “Midnight in the Desert”.

In this audio-only interview, Michelle shares with me the practical applications of "remote viewing" which I find out is a misnomer. It's not about just finding your keys. Remote viewing can help you understand your past lives and allow you to tap into your higher self to make better decisions about your future. "Men Who Stare At Goats" was loosely based on programs that the government carried out knowing that remote viewing is a very real thing that has been proven time and time again.

Jonathon's grief led him on a soul-searching inner journey which opened him to the most common emotional health issue faced by people- a lack of self-love, self-regard, and self-worth. Jonathon takes this new understanding with him into his work with people who are dating in mid-life.

Rebecca and I discussed how the pain in our youth creates wounds in our "inner child" and we must heal through Self-love. Painful experiences are opportunities for us to grow if we do the healing work.

Rebecca Valla MD is a Psychiatrist in private practice in Winston-Salem, NC. She has been a lifelong spiritual seeker, which led to her interest in Near Death Experiences, Reincarnation, and Expanded Consciousness. She is focused in her work with patients on inner child healing, and on Self-love. Much of her work is informed by her own childhood pain, and her learning through psychotherapy, and personal growth.

Spirituality is the core of the self-growth work that she journeys on with her patients. You can hear her own story, and see how she approaches her work, through her YouTube at the IANDS Conference 2016, Videos, Rebecca Valla, MD.

She also gives a humorous peek into her childhood, during which she had but a mere smattering of religion, paints the picture of an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. As a teen, she concluded God was unprovable and never looked back—until God decided he wasn’t content being a mere possibility.

Nancy’s journey had her traversing a surreal chasm between doubt and belief as she struggled to understand messages she was given about suffering, reincarnation—including her own—and humanity's true identity.

Sue Pighini is an award-winning author on the subjects of near-death and the wisdom that comes from such experiences. Sue has had 3 near-death events, one as recently as November 2019.

Her passion is helping others discover more about themselves after an extraordinary experience - combat, death of a loved one, the coronavirus pandemic, loss of a job or career, financial hardship, etc.

Life is all about CHANGE. All about "reconstructing" our lives. In this interview recorded in early April 2020, we talk about the elephant in the room that is causing disruptive changes in all of our lives, the coronavirus pandemic.

Sue is also a seminar leader, Transformational Life Coach and motivational speaker. Her deepest desire is to help others understand their unique, extraordinary spiritual selves. Her wisdom from the angelic realm has propelled her into seeing more of the "big picture" for humanity which she loves to share with others.

Tony Woody is a US Navy Chief Petty Officer with 22 years of honorable service as an Instructor Flight Engineer on the P3 Orion aircraft. In 1982, he had an incredible Spiritually Transformative Experience over the course of a couple of days. It was initially triggered by an emergency landing that he miraculously survived.

Today, Tony helps others who have had near-death experiences integrate the experience into their lives. Tony has since had two other Spiritually Transformative Experiences that we discuss in this interview. He is passionate about spreading the message that we are all infinitely loved, never alone, and destined to ultimately arrive back at Home.

I sat down with Mary again to discuss spiritual awakening during a time of crisis. Mary's series of spiritually transformative experiences began at a low point in her life when. It was then that she had her awakening and received divine guidance into her own divinity.

In this timely interview recorded March 31, 2020, we are at or near the peak of the coronavirus crisis that is facing mankind. Mary and I discuss how this virus could be a catalyst for collective awakening.

We also touch on homeopathy, a supportive treatment to boost our body's natural healing mechanisms. Mary will go more in-depth on this topic in a series of on-line classes she will be teaching beginning in mid-April. For more information, visit her website.

Mary is the Hay House author of "Out of the Blue", true-life experiences of awakening, revelation, and transformation. She has been involved in the healing arts for over 40 years beginning as a registered nurse who journeyed into natural systems of healing including homeopathy, reiki, massage therapy, and meditation.

Ali Norell's 5-month-old daughter passed into Spirit at just 5 months of age. Ali was already a natural born medium. But, after Romy's passing, Ali lost belief in all things spiritual. In this interview and in her book Ali tells of this journey from belief to the loss of belief back to knowing that her daughter Romy is still part of the family along with her husband and her three other children.

Ali's experiences with Romy have been verified by other mediums who have connected with Romy.

Ali's book is "The Truth Inside." It's available from O books and on Amazon.

Grief isn't associated only with the loss of a loved one. We grieve many things, the loss of a job, the loss of income, the loss of a relationship.

Globally, we are all experiencing great, sudden, unexpected loss at the moment, even if it's the loss of something as simple as not being able to go to the grocery store and pick up what we need or to be able to go to the movies. 

This triggers a number of emotions in us. And, as we are cooped up with family members, we have to deal with those emotions in a way that is healthy for everyone involved.

We should take the threat of Covid-19 very seriously. It has turned our world upside down. We are fearful, for good reason. But, there is a difference between fear and panic. There is a difference between being realistic and being despondent.

In this video, I will talk about what we do and don't know about coronavirus today. I am not a medical expert. But, we do know some things. I will also share some good news stories you might not have heard. We have made amazing progress against this virus in just over 120 days since the first case.

Lastly, I share things you can do while in self-quarantine to keep yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually strong, while we ride this out.

I met Kim a couple of years ago on Facebook. At the time, she was working for Snopes, a fact-checking website. Kim joined a group I as in called Afterlife Topics and Metaphysics. Kim was of the opinion that when you die, you die. That's it. Lights out. Game over. People who believed in the afterlife were self-deluded, wishful thinking.

But, Kim was a true skeptic, open to data. She asked if anyone in the group knew of a really good medium. She wanted to test the best and reassure herself that mediums are all frauds. I referred Kim to my friend, Carolyn Clapper, the rest is history.

Fast forward a couple of years and Kim remains an atheist and a skeptic. But, her eyes have been opened to a whole new view of reality. She has an on-going relationship with her deceased husband, Joseph. She works for www.truthorfiction.com and she has founded a society for people who want to maintain a relationship with those who have crossed over at www.redstringsociety.com

In this interview, we discuss what it means to be a skeptic, what it means to be an atheist, the nature of reality and how this larger view of life helps us cope with grief.

The mission statement of Helping Parents Heal is: Sharing the Journey from Bereaved to Shining Light Parent. Conrad and Paolo Leslie embody this journey. Their beautiful only son Nicolas was murdered by a terrorist in Nice, France on July 14, 2016.

Conrad and Paola were obviously devastated by Nicholas' passing. Conrad is an accomplished engineer and business owner. He has taken a no-nonsense approach to finding his way since Nicolas' passing. Paola has taken a different approach, including being heavily involved with Helping Parents Heal. I've known the Leslies, mainly Paola for a few years.

In this interview, Conrad opens up about the difficulty of the journey but also the beauty he has found along the way. He shares the incredible signs he and Paola have received from Nicolas, who remains active in their lives. We talk about forgiveness and how it's a process, not an act.

It was refreshing to talk with a father about his perspective, as Helping Parents Heals consists mainly of mothers.

Conrad has given me permission to share the document he created that chronicles the signs from Nicolas, "Gifts from Nick", including photographs we discussed during the interview. If you would like a copy, send an email to me.

Marion Dampier-Jeans is a fascinating woman living in England. She hahas Norwegian roots and has studied the "old ways" going back to shamanism in several cultures that we in America don't normally associate with shamanism.

Marion is one of the few people who sat with Leslie Flint on a regular basis. Leslie Flint was, during his time, the most accomplished and tested physical medium in the world. In case you don't know what physical mediumship is, it's where the departed can make themselves seen and heard objectively in the room for everyone in the room to see, hear or touch.

Physical mediumship has normally been done in the dark. Today's physical mediums, like Marion, are bringing these phenomena into the light (literally).

A common problem I run into with the clients I work with is they feel guilty about the passing of a loved one. There may be circumstances where some guilt can be rationalized. (We can talk about that at another time). I'm talking about guilt over things beyond our control, guilt about things that we couldn't possibly have known or prevented if we had known. 

When we're going through grief, sometimes it seems that we look for reasons to feel even worse. Please do not do this to yourself. Let's talk about why you feel guilty and see if we can do something about it.

NOTICE

Lynn and I take a pretty deep dive in this episode. It's not your Reality 101 course. Take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't.

Lynn Russell set out to do some work for Dr. Jeffrey Long, the creator of the NDERF.org database, the world's largest collection of near-death experiences. Lynn was analyzing the data for Dr. Long and became inspired to write a book that went beyond the raw data into the lessons of the Near-Death Experience.

During the interview, I found out Lynn has a secret. She has had an NDE herself. I got her to tell me about it.

Lynn has led a rich life. Lynn has been an armchair student of science for about forty-five years. She was a family counselor for around thirty years. She has twenty-five years of giving workshops and talks. She has spent a lifetime researching and learning about the various religions and spiritual philosophies around the world. Lynn was assessed as mentally slow as a child and didn’t find out until she was 31 that she was above average in intelligence. Since then it has been upward and onward.

Her book "The Wonder of You: What the Near Death Experience Tells You About Yourself" is available on Amazon. The second edition will release at about the time this interview is published.

In this eye-opening and maybe controversial conversation, I sit down with accomplished filmmaker, speaker, and author, Jeremiah Camara to discuss his films: Contradiction: A Question of Faith and Holy Hierarchy: The Religious Roots of Racism in America. My good friend, Dr. Terri Daniel, a chaplain, grief counselor, and theology scholar, joins us.

Jeremiah Camara is the director and producer of the documentary film Contradiction: A Question of Faith, which examines the saturation of churches in African American communities coexisting with poverty and powerlessness. Contradiction can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video. Camara is the author of the books Holy Lockdown: Does The Church Limit Black Progress? and The New Doubting Thomas: The Bible, Black Folks & Blind Belief.

Camara is also the creator of the widely watched YouTube video series Slave Sermons… a mini-movie series addressing the harmful effects of religion.

His latest and upcoming documentary project is titled, Holy Hierarchy: The Religious Roots of Racism in America. Holy Hierarchy… explains how the presumptions of a Supreme Being in colonial America led to precepts and beliefs in supreme human beings and how these beliefs morphed their way into the legal system and ultimately turned racism into an institution.

It's hard to know where to begin to describe this interview with Raymond. He started out with a warning delivered to him by his clairvoyant mother. Raymond comes from a family of "seers." Raymond died 10 times in one night and has had multiple Near Death Experiences and Spiritually Transformative Experiences.

Sadly, we had a hard stop at about an hour. I could have talked to Raymond all day. He is a fascinating man.

Raymond is a natural-born energy healer and medical intuitive. After suffering from the after-effects of his own NDEs, Raymond became trained as a counselor and now counsels medical professionals on how to help people who have had NDEs integrate them into their lives. Raymond is working with medical professionals in the UK and with IANDS (The International Association for Near Death Studies).

It's estimated that 5-10% of the population has had a near-death experience. That's approximately 350 million people worldwide. Typically, when NDErs tell their stories we hear all about the love and light they experienced. What we don't hear about as often is the disorientation, isolation, and depression they can feel after returning. P.M.H. Atwater's research has shown it takes, on average, 7-14 years for an adult experience to successfully integrate the experience into their life. Meanwhile, the rates of suicide, divorce, drug abuse, etc. are elevated for these people.

ℹ️ to reach Raymond, email him at rayob1@live.co.uk . If you're an NDE experiencer living in the UK and want help, contact Raymond via email or Raymond O' Brien VNDE on Facebook

Mary Terhune is a Hay House author of the popular book "Out of the Blue- True Life Experiences of Awakening, Revelation, and Transformation", an exciting tale of a Mary's life and a series of spiritually transformative events (STEs) that have led Mary to realize the divine nature that we all share. Wayne Dyer asked Hay House to publish it because he loved her experience of self-realization. He said it was the best description of self-realization he has ever read in his over 30 years of reading spiritual books.

She has been involved in the healing arts for over 40 years as a registered nurse, homeopathic educator, therapeutic massage practitioner, and reiki master. Mary has a degree in sociology and gives lectures and workshops on spiritual awakening, divinity, self-realization, and death based on her powerful awakening and mystical experiences over 30 years.

In this interview, Mary and I touch on a few of these experiences, including meeting "Master Jesus." We also discuss how her own awakening parallels what is happening with humankind, as a whole.

Twenty years ago today I was getting ready to go to Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati to welcome Shayna into our lives. Kayla was excited about being a big sister. We were ready to get this little one here. 

Shayna had and continues to have a huge impact on our lives. She transitioned to spirit almost five years ago but it has not slowed down how much she influences those who knew her and even many who did not.

These are my reflections on this day and my on-going relationship with my Beautiful Light.

Nell Rose Foreman lost her beautiful 23-year-old son Jack to a horrific 9 month battle with Glioblastoma, an insidious brain cancer that began just after he graduated from college.

Shortly after his transition, she started getting signs from Jack. One of his signs, a picture of his light being, was taken at the beach this summer and was recently published in both the IANDS and Helping Parents Heal newsletter.

Jack has communicated a mission to her to let people know that there is no death and to awaken to who and what we really are. There are four pillars in how Jack lived his life which is his legacy. They are, to live to your full potential, to follow your heart, to love fiercely and to not care what anyone else thinks. It is how he wants us all to live.

Prior to Jack's death, Nell Rose was a resiliency coach. She created a process using a blend of conscious and subconscious work that includes mindfulness, neuroscience, psychology, and ancient wisdom to successfully allow people to achieve what they want. Now she is using this same process to help herself to survive, heal and thrive after child loss. She feels traditional thinking of grief focuses on disconnection, and after receiving several signs from her son, it has challenged her own beliefs and now she is working towards connection with him.

Homeostasis is the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. Put simply, it's when things just work.

I've been experiencing some challenges around this in the last several weeks leading up to Christmas. Here are my thoughts on those challenges and what they mean.

I invited Peter back to talk a bit more about his two near death experiences but to also discuss what his NDEs have taught him about the nature of the afterlife versus what many of us were taught the Bible says. Just little things like original sin, heaven and hell, why Jesus came.

Reverend Peter Panagore, M. Div., Yale, is the author of two best-sellers,'Two Minutes for God," a 7/365 collection of inspirational devotions that aired daily for fifteen years on two NBC News stations in Maine to an audience of 80,000 a day and 'Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just the Beginning,"

After fifteen years on TV and FM, Peter is soon headed back into the pastoral ministry in New England. His two near-death experiences, and a lifetime of yoga, meditation and prayer practice, and his practical life as a minister for eighteen years, sets him apart among his peers. He is a mystic, a husband, a dad, and grandpa. Peter races as crew on sailboats, read science and literature, occasionally swears, and always seeks God. He says that he is not religious but that his Boss is God.

In this episode, Kelvin and I discuss his book "Overcoming the Fear of Death". It's an easy read. I finished it in a day. But, it is a systematic, rational approach to a common fear. Kelvin breaks down our beliefs on what happens after death into four main belief systems (not religious beliefs). From there, he explains how we can reduce or eliminate the fear of death from wherever we are today.

Kelvin Chin is Executive Director & Founder of the “Turning Within” Meditation and Overcoming the Fear of Death Foundations. He is an internationally-recognized meditation teacher featured in Business Insider, Newsweek, Kaiser Health News, and has taught meditation at West Point and in the U.S. Army, including on the DMZ in Korea. Kelvin is also the author of the best-selling “Overcoming the Fear of Death: Through Each of the 4 Main Belief Systems” — a nonreligious approach to the 4 Beliefs that underlie all religious and cultural beliefs. He has had many experiences “piercing the veil” over the past 35 years communicating with the “other side,” and his past life memories reach back 6,000 years.

Kelvin has been meditating for 50 years, and has taught it for 46 years to thousands from age 4-94 in over 30 countries. He regularly helps clients with PTSD, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders, especially those who have lost loved ones or had traumatic spiritual experiences. His technique is easy and effortless, with no cultural or lifestyle trappings. The technique offers a solution that helps people live their lives more fully now, giving them a sense of greater control to move forward.

Kelvin can be reached at www.kelvinchin.org or at www.turningwithin.org

Marcus is one fascinating guy. I met him on Facebook years ago. Since then, I have heard of his life with spirit. His daughter in spirit, who he never met in the flesh, communicates with him regularly. His spirit guide is his childhood friend, Les. He has seen spirit since he was a small child.

After his Near Death Experience, Marcus returned to Earth to be a physical medium. Physical mediums are rare enough. Marcus is even rarer in that he can work in light.

Marcus is working with a team in spirit to develop electronic communications. In this episode, we talk about his early successes and where he expects his efforts to take us.

Normally, I include contact information for my guests. Marcus isn't seeking publicity. This is only his second interview, ever. I feel honored that he trusted me enough to do it.

It's an amazing, uplifting episode!

In this bonus episode, I talk about the natural rhythms that have us feeling the way we do at this time of year. It's an issue with many of us, especially those of us who have "lost" a loved one.

I was going to make this an exclusive episode for patrons. But, I think the topic is too important.

Diana experienced the death of her spouse at the age of 37, now 17 years ago.

Her husband was diagnosed with lung cancer and was gone in 111 days. She was left behind with a broken heart and 3 teenage sons who struggled through adolescence without a father. Before he left, he told her he would help her from the other side. His words were true; he has been guiding her throughout his physical absence through signs and synchronicities.

She says that the love and loss of her husband has been a journey of finding and loving herself.

She believes grief is a journey that lasts a lifetime. A process of developing a new kind of relationship with the departed; a soul to soul connection.

She has learned through the years that grief is like the ocean tides. It ebbs and flows and comes in and goes out. Sometimes rough and hard and high, other times gentle and soft and low. But it always comes in and in it always goes out. What remains is love. Love doesn’t die.

Her most prestigious role in life has been a wife to Mark, and a mother to her 3 now grown sons. She holds a 200 hr. certification in hatha yoga, 300 hour yoga therapy certificate as well as a Trauma informed brain sensitivity training.

She has written and recorded 5 songs around a grief/loss theme titled, Beautiful sad. She says sad is beautiful because it means we have loved and lost, BUT we HAVE loved. She hopes the music will find it’s way to those needing comfort from the loss of a loved one and to consider the possibility that those departed from our physical presence, aren’t gone, they have only gone ahead of us.

Heidi Craig is the mother of three boys, a credit analyst, and an author. In 2004, during the birth of her youngest son, Heidi found herself out of her body and in the presence of "spirit beings."

Heidi was given three messages to bring back with her. She says her near-death experience helped her to understand and accept challenges she had faced in her life up until that point, including abuse at the hands of her father. It also helped her with the difficulties she would face after returning. Heidi's mission now is to help as many people as she can by sharing her experience and its lessons.

Heidi's book is "Messages from Heaven (The Little Book of Affirmations Based on the True Story of a Near Death Experience and the Lessons Learned)"

As of today, Friday, October 25, 2019, The Forever Angels- Near Death Experiences in Childhood and Their Lifelong Impact, is Dr. Atwater's latest book. Next week that will no longer be true.

I was fortunate enough to catch up with P.M.H. for a series of three interviews. The first covered her life (in brief- she is in her 80s and has led an amazing life) and her film As You Die Know That You Live Forever. The second interview was about her book Dying To Know You- Proof of God In the Near Death Experience. If you have not seen those interviews, I recommend them.

In this interview, we talk about her amazing research concerning the lifelong impacts of the Near Death Experiences on children of the ages of five and under at the time they had their experiences. She follows up on earlier work and expands the study to take it a level no one has before.

I have never had as much fun in an interview as I had with P.M.H. She is full of joy, as you'll see by the first few seconds of the video.

Dr. Atwater is a pioneer in the field of the Near Death Experience. After having had three experiences herself, she quit her job, moved cross country, and started her own research project. Almost 5,000 interviews, over 40 years, and almost 20 books later, I think it's safe to say she is one of the world's best experts on the experience. It was a true honor to have this conversation with her.

In this conversation, we talk about her life, her NDEs and her groundbreaking video "As We Die", a video for the actively dying, and the rest of us. It can totally change your perspective on what it means to die and how you approach it.

Joanna is a friend I met in our MasterHeart group, a small group of entrepreneurs who aspire to have authentic, heart driven businesses. Joanna is an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist.

As we talked about what Joanna does, I realized a very important part of grief recovery for many is resolving guilt, regret, etc. around things we said or didn't say, did or didn't do, before our loved ones passed. Before we can make a good solid relationship with them in this new way, we have to heal those things.

Joanna employs a method to help resolve these unresolved emotions and we discuss it in the interview. She's also a former professional medium and talks about ways we can all become better at communicating with our loved ones on the other side of the veil. Her book that helps with this is Signs from Spirit by Rev. Joanna Bartlett. There is also a course on Udemy that covers this material.

I've known Debra for several months and we've talked a few times. When I heard her book, "Diary of a Death Doula: 25 Lessons the Dying Teach Us About the Afterlife", was coming out I scheduled her for the podcast.

Debra's journey through life is one of going from being a high-powered Wall Street money manager and television correspondent to finding out that she has mediumistic abilities. She now works as a professional medium, pscyhic, and medical intuitive.

Debra became a death doula. I'll let her tell you what that is in the episode. What it means is she spends hours with the actively dying. As someone who sees and hears the spirit world, this has given her a unique perspective to write the book about her experiences as a death doula.

When our loved ones are in the stages of death, and there are stages of death, there is so much going on behind the scenes that we can't understand or perceive. In her book, Debra pulls back the curtain and gives us a peek as she is able to see into both worlds at once.

After having read dozens of books on mediumship, death and dying, etc. I wasn't sure how much there was more for me to learn. I found some surprising revelations in the book and during our chat.

Debra is available for mediumship, psychic, and or medically intuitive readings. You can find her at:

Chris Batts had a difficult life from the very beginning. Literally tossed in the trash at six months old, Chris experienced rejection for his entire life. He contemplated and even planned suicide. Then one day, he literally leaped to his death. But, God had other plans for Chris.

If you have any questions about what happens to those who complete suicide, you'll want to listen to this interview and get Chris' book "Boom! The Life and Times of a Suicide Near Death Experiencer."

Chris is a member of IANDS, the International Association for Near Death Studies. He has spoken twice at their international conferences.

Chris also has a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaVkQ425e71u4psSgAX1EDQ

Tricia had a Near Death Experience, after an automobile accident, on the operating table. This was her senior year of college. God had a request/demand for her life that was nowhere on Tricia's radar at the time. But, Tricia answered the call. The rest, as they say, is history. Fast forward, and Tricia is changing the lives of young people in her classroom and the rest of us.

I've heard Tricia interviewed several times and I've known that I wanted to get her on my show. She's extremely busy speaking all over the country; writing and now promoting her book; and teaching English at the college level.

Tricia is the author of her memoir "Angels In the OR". You can find her at www.triciabarkernde.com. She has her own YouTube channel (search for Tricia Barker on YouTube). She also has guided meditations available on her site and from Insight Timer

Well versed in several healing modalities, Lindsay first worked on her own healing then began working on healing others starting with those her local community who were deeply impacted by her boys' passing.

Reverend Bill McDonald has led a fascinating life. From early childhood, spanning over six decades, he has had spiritual and out of body experiences. He performed heroics in Vietnam. He has traveled the world having spiritual experiences and learning. And, he serves veterans and others in his current very busy life, into his 70s.

Sitting in the presence of Reverend Bill McDonald is an honor. I spoke with him once after being introduced to him and we recorded a podcast that had some technical difficulties. In spite of his busy schedule, he graciously agreed to re-record the episode. This re-take might be better than the first. We talked for an hour and a half, with the recording on. We talked for another half an hour after I stopped the recording. I could talk to Rev Bill all day. I know a 90-minute commitment of your time is a lot to ask. So, I'd like to suggest taking the episode in chunks. You have to stay until the end to hear his "Naadi Palm" story, the craziest psychic reading I've ever heard (one recorded hundreds of years before his birth and spot-on for his current life).

Barbara and I had a fascinating conversation about the end of life and how she helps people and their families make that transition. Barbara is a pioneer in the hospice field, getting involved in the mid-80s when most people couldn't even pronounce hospice. She is truly a woman on a mission.

Barbara is the author of several books including what has become known as "The Little Blue Book" The official title is: "Gone from My Sight- The Dying Process." It remains the standard in the hospice industry nearly 35 years after its introduction. It has sold over 25 million copies. But, this book was just the beginning of Barbara's body of work to educate us on the death process.

Bridgett Tulloh is a life coach, business coach, and the host of the podcast "The Truth About Living". I've known Bridgett for over a year now. We have had several in depth conversations.

A while ago she posted something on her Facebook wall about meditation and it not necessarily being for everyone. Bridgett approached our conversation from that point of view. Bridgett is a long time meditator and has even taught meditation. But, she gave it up. I told her I'd love to have a conversation with her about meditation and how it works for me. So, we had that conversation, and we recorded it for your listening pleasure.

We started out with a bit of a difference of opinion. I think we each made some good points. I hope you'll find the conversation beneficial as you decide what role meditation should or should not play in your life.

I have known Irene for a couple of years. Irene and I met at a weekend conference. She has become one of our best friends over the course of time. Irene is the Vice President for Helping Parents Heal and the Conference Chairperson.

Irene's daughter Carly has been inspiring Irene since her passing. Irene has been actively involved with Helping Parents Heal, starting a thriving affiliate group in Bluffton, SC as well as heading up our two conferences. The second Helping Parents Heal Conference will be in Charleston, SC in April 2020.

As you listen to this episode, you will see just how amazing and resilient Irene is having gone through the worst thing any parent has to go through. What I would like you to keep in mind is we all have an inner strength that we often underestimate. I am inspired by Irene and people like her to do my best to make Shayna proud, as Irene does to make Carly proud.

What an honor! Wendy Zammit asked me to present my book to the AREI (Afterlife Research & Education Institute) Global Gathering. The topic of the week was to address the question "Does suffering lead to growth?" Wendy had read my book and asked me if I'd like to talk about it.

In case you don't know Wendy and Victor Zammit, they are co-founders of AREI and pioneers in the afterlife studies field.

The episode begins with a short presentation of my story and an overview of the book. Then, we have a conversation about the topic.

Shoutout to Susanne Wilson, an amazing medium. You'll have to listen to the beginning of the episode to find out why. All I can say is "Wow", Susanne.

I met Daniel when we were both doing volunteer work for Voice of Our Angels. I hosted a gallery reading he did for those parents. I immediately knew I liked this guy. He's only been doing mediumship publicly for about a year but he's already got a large and rapidly growing following based on how good he is as a medium and how sincere he is as a human being.

Daniel and I share similar paths when it comes to religion, the Bible and where we are with our faith now. In this interview, we discuss extensively whether the Bible prohibits mediumship and whether Christians should consider consulting with a medium. We talk about what mediumship is and isn't and how we can all improve our ability to connect across the veil. We also talk about how upcoming book which sounds like it's going to be a good one.

Rev. Dr. Terri Daniel and I sat down for a chat about how religion can effectively complicate grief rather than providing relief. Dr. Daniel is a End-of-Life Advisor, Interfaith Chaplain, and certified in death, dying, and bereavement.

Terri and I have known each other for a few years as we are both part of Helping Parents Heal and Shining Light Parents. We have taught classes on grief together. When it comes to toxic religion, I have lived with the guilt and shame that comes from what so many of are taught in Sunday school. Terri has hands on experience with the dying and the bereaved as a certified counselor.

In this talk, we have a live audience that actively participates, sharing their stories.

I get this question often and it breaks my heart every single time. People want to find someone to blame for the death of a loved one. They speculate on whether they did something that God is punishing them for. He's punished them by killing their loved one. They wonder if their loved one did something wrong. God smites sinners. Right? Does God kill us for doing something wrong? Does God kill our loved ones for something we did?

Spoiler alert- the answer to both questions is always no.  But, listen to the episode for my reasoning.

I have heard Ingrid in several interviews before and had the pleasure of having a conversation with her on behalf of Helping Parents Heal. But, I had not read her book "A Brightly Guided Life" until the day before this conversation.

Ingrid has had two near-death/out of body experiences. Intuitive from a very young age, Ingrid has sense spirit and "light beings" around her all of her life. Her book reads like a novel as Ingrid has faced many challenges in her life. However, a key lesson that comes through loud and clear is that Ingrid's life has been guided, even through events that no one would wish for themselves. Even during times when Ingrid told the Beings of Light she wanted to go on her own, they were there guiding her life. As I was reading her book what I realized is that while Ingrid is unique in her experience with the Beings of Light, we all lead brightly guided lives, whether we are aware of it or not.

Ingrid is now an inspirational teacher, speaker, and author. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to have another conversation with her.

Wow. I am so excited about this episode. Natalie Sudman had an NDE in Iraq in 2007. She died when her vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. Natalie immediately found herself in another "environment" as she describes it. In total, she experienced three distinct environments and each taught her her valuable lessons about who we are and why we are here.

Her book The Application of Impossible Things is one of hundreds of NDEs I have read and dozens of books about Near Death Experiences. I have read it three or four times over the course of three years. Each time I get more depth from it.

I've wanted to have a conversation with Natalie for a long time. It was as great as I thought it would be. Listen to the interview, then get the book!

Dana Stinson-Cumby is the Shining Light Parent of Noah who passed away in September of 2017. In this episode, Dana relates a Near Death Experience that she had early in her life. It's a veridical NDE in that Dana saw things when she was out of her body that were later confirmed by others. Dana had a series of synchronicities that led her to a Shared Death Experience (a profound experience whereby a loved one, caregiver or bystander shares in a dying person’s initial transition from this world).

As we look back on Dana's life, we see divine guidance all the way though. Pay close attention to the details of her NDE at the age of 12 because this will make sense in her Shared Death Experience later in life.

p.s.-

After the interview, Dana called me and gave me some more information about her Shared Death Experience. No matter how many times we have these experiences it seems we question our own sanity and experience when the world tells us what we have experienced is impossible.

When you listen, you'll hear that Dana had a Shared Death Experience where she walked with a dying woman into her crossing. Dana saw imagery that was reminiscent of the experience she had as a 12-year-old. Yet, she wondered if this was real. In the Shared Death Experience, Dana saw the woman's eventual home that she had constructed mentally, a small house along the beach. The woman was wearing a scarf in Dana's experience. She appeared much younger than her sixty-plus years, closer to thirty. She, her Mom, Dad, and stepdaughter (who had passed) were sitting in a coach being carried by four angels, one on each corner. After the woman let go and passed, her brother, who was staying at a nearby hotel called to check on her status. He reported that he had fallen asleep and had the strangest dream. He saw his sister, on the beach, with a scarf around her neck. She was sitting in front of a small beach house and appeared to be around 30 years old- just as Dana had been shown in the Shared Death Experience.

When the woman's daughter went to choose a casket, the catalog fell open to a page that was a casket with an angel on each corner. Amy, her daughter, chose this casket, not knowing of the vision Dana had where the four angels were carrying the coach.

I met Daniel when he was volunteering with Voice of Our Angels, a support group for parents who have lost children. I moderated a gallery reading and Q&A session Daniel did for the parents. Daniel in addition to being a full time medical device salesman is a father of three small children, a husband, a Reiki practitioner, and has recently become a certified evidential medium. Daniel is a very busy guy and a fascinating interview.

I wanted to have a conversation with Daniel on Grief 2 Growth because of his passion for ferreting out the truth when it comes to his faith and to mediumship. Many would say to be a Bible believing Christian and a medium is an oxymoron. I disagree and so does Daniel. In this episode, we talk about the scripture and mediumship as well as talking about what Daniel is up to in terms of being of service, following his passion, and following his calling.

During our interview, I found out Daniel is opening a meditation/healing/medium reading studio in upstate New York. If you're in the Geneva, NY area, I'm sure he'd love it if you stopped by. https://www.thezomestudio.com/

Most Monday evenings, Daniel gives free readings on his Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/DANIELJOHNMEDIUM/

Thanks to everyone who thought of me today and reached out. It's gratifying to know how many remember. Today is Monday, June 24th, the fourth anniversary of Shayna's passing. As I head out for my walk this morning, it's a day very similar to that day four years ago when I did the same thing. I now know that as I walked, Shayna was in her bed, spirit already gone from her body, and I wonder how I could have taken that walk without knowing, without somehow sensing that she had slipped away.

I've received cards, calls, messages from many people. People continue to remember and honor Shayna and I am proud and humbled at the same time. Many of the parents I know say their families and friends don't acknowledge these days and they feel alone because of it. They are not alone in this regard, not a single biological family remember has reached out to me. My family doesn't read my blog. They don't listen to my podcast. They don't even comment on my Facebook posts. This isn't uncommon. We have to find our new tribe. We have to focus not on the friends we have lost and the family that has either forgotten or finds it too uncomfortable to reach out to me. I choose to concentrate on the blessing of my new friends, my new non-biological family like the members of Helping Parents Heal and Voice of Our Angels.

I try to tell myself that the 24th of June is a day like any other day. It's just one of three hundred and sixty-five on the calendar every year. Ty has put it on the calendar this year. I don't need to have it on the calendar. I know June 24th as well as I know January 13th, the day Shayna joined us on the planet.

Mark Earlix is an internationally known healer, intuitive, author and ordained priest who was born in Chicago, Illinois. At the age of 20, Mark was given a profound gift that dramatically transformed his life, and purpose forever.

Mark has been initiated into two orders of Gnosticism. At the core of his teachings lies not only the awakening of the divinity and wellness within all, but also the experiential understanding of what is going on beyond the philosophical level. This understanding ensures real transformation and wellness of both mind and body. He genuinely feels his gift of healing is available to all, and he teaches his unique techniques in experiential workshops, his writing and individual appointments. Mark can be found at various expo’s around the country.

In today's episode, we discuss Mark's amazing journey that led him to where he is today, how he heals people, how he teaches people to heal, and his philosophy on life. I think you'll come away seeing how incidents in Mark's life led him on the path he is on to be an internationally known healer and intuitive.

Elizabeth Boisson is the founder of Helping Parents Heal, an international organization dedicated to helping parents after the loss of a child.

Two of Elizabeth's children have transitioned; her daughter, Chelsea, in 1991 and her son, Morgan, in 2009 from severe altitude sickness while on a student trip to the Base Camp of Mt Everest in Tibet.

Immediately after Morgan's passing, Elizabeth created the Facebook group Parents United in Loss. Then in 2012, she joined forces with Mark Ireland to form Helping Parents Heal. Elizabeth is a certified yoga instructor and teaches yoga for healing grief. She is the Affiliate Leader of the Phoenix/Scottsdale HPH group.

In today's episode, I discussed with Elizabeth how the passing of Chelsea helped her prepare for the passing of Morgan and how the passing of Morgan led to the breaking open that caused Elizabeth to start this organization that has saved thousands of lives. We discussed what makes Helping Parents Heal different from other "bereavement" groups, the importance of language for healing, and the upcoming second Helping Parents Heal conference in Charleston, SC in April 2020.

I was thinking about healing. Why do some people receive miraculous healing and others do not? A few days ago a healer spoke to our Helping Parents Heal group and some of the parents posed this question. "What if my child had seen a healer? Might they still be here?" 

As I thought about this, my thoughts turned to the greatest Healer of all time. What was his record on healing? And, then I began to think about death and illness, our mortal enemies and wondered if we might be looking at them all wrong.

Michelle Clare is a three time Near Death Experiencer, a certified evidential medium, and an intuitive life coach. I met Michele as a test sitter for her mediumship certification.

In this episode, Michelle shares with us three very different Near Death Experiences. I believe that NDEs are tailored for the individual having them to provide them with the lessons they need and that they need to share with the rest of us. Michelle's experiences support my hypothesis as each experience came at a time in her life, with a lesson that she needed.

Michelle, as an evidential medium, delivers messages, with evidence, that she is connecting with your loved ones in spirit. As an intuitive life coach, Michelle connects with your spirit guides, angels, loved ones in spirit, etc. to bring you guidance for your life. This was a fascinating conversation covering a wide range of topics.

You can find Michelle at https://www.michelleclare.net

After the loss of a very close loved one or after a deeply spiritually transformative experience such as an NDE, many people feel an intense longing for Home. If we verbalize this, it can be seen as morose. It's a taboo subject, but I wanted to explore it. I asked Peter why he chose to stay after his NDE(s) where he experienced pure bliss. Nearly 40 years after his first NDE, Peter is still here.

Reverend Peter Panagore is a 2x Near Death Experiencer, Professional Speaker, Best Selling International Author and broadcaster with30 million Views Annually.

Peter is the author of Heaven is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just the Beginning and Two Minutes for God: Quick Fixes for the Spirit

Peter is a former pastor. But, he continues to minister to people and is a regular guest speaker in churches.

I invited Peter to talk to a group that I volunteer with. During our talk he mentioned something that I wanted to go deeper into. I called him up and he agreed to this interview.

Peter has had two near death experiences. After the loss of a very close loved one or after a deeply spiritually transformative experience such as an NDE, many people feel an intense longing for Home. If we speak of this, it can be seen as morose. It's taboo to talk about wanting to die. But I wanted to explore it and Peter was kind enough to explore it with me. I asked Peter why he chose to stay after his NDE(s) where he experienced pure bliss. Nearly 40 years after his first NDE, Peter is still here.

Yes. This is that awkward episode in which your host is the guest. This feels weird because I don’t want to make this podcast all about me. But, I think this episode is necessary. In case you don’t know me, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you so you know what to expect from this podcast. A lot of things had to happen to lead me to the point of sitting in front of this microphone, speaking to you on this topic, today.

In this episode I tell you a little about my history; hopefully not more than you want to know. And, I share my vision for the podcast.-
