Struggle and uncertainty are all too familiar companions in our lives, yet imagine a tool that could reshape the very fabric of our emotional well-being. That's the discussion I have with Dr. Andre McDonald, a skilled hypnotist who shares his profound insights into the world of hypnotherapy. Together, we tackle the stigmas and reveal the transformative potential of this practice, offering hope for those seeking to conquer addictions, soothe anxiety, release the grip of past trauma, and more.
The healing power of hypnotherapy doesn't just stop at breaking the chains of our personal vices; it extends its reach to mend the wounds of emotional trauma. As I recount a personal story of loss, Andre walks us through the delicate process of hypnotherapy - from the initial consultation all the way to mastering the art of reframing life through the power of imagination. We scrutinize the practicalities of selecting the right hypnotherapist, the dynamics of virtual versus in-person sessions, and underscore the importance of professional medical advice when considering new wellness paths.
If you're yearning for a new lens through which to view your challenges or simply curious about the untapped capabilities of your mind, this episode is your gateway to understanding how hypnotherapy can become a pivotal ally in your journey toward a more fulfilled existence.

When ordained minister Jerry Snavely opened up about his arduous journey through adoption, it was a reminder of the sheer tenacity of the human spirit. He and his wife transformed their trials into a celebration of family and faith, a story that's both moving and inspirational.
Our conversation with Jerry brings to light the intimate dance between prayer and action, showing that divine communication is much more than a monologue—it's a heart-to-heart with the universe that guides us through the stormiest of times. From the gripping narrative of a youth pastor's fostering journey to the complexities of kinship care faced by adoptive parents, we unravel tales of resilience, sacrifice, and unexpected turns that challenge and enrich one's faith.
Be sure to follow us for ongoing support and insights into living a life anchored in faith, no matter where that journey may lead. Jerry's story, and those like it, stand as a testament to the power of unwavering hope and the profound impact of opening our hearts to the children of our communities.

Prepare for an enlightening journey as we sit down with the unique Esha Scott, a seer whose craft is firmly rooted in the Nordic Viking lineage of shamanic practices. Esha opens up about her work, guiding individuals through the dark corners of their emotions, shedding light on trauma, and offering healing. Experiencing her extraordinary gift first-hand, we recount an uncanny encounter where dowsing rods responded to Esha's energy in an unexpected way, suggesting a transcendental presence. The interview was recorded live in the historic Twin City Opera House in downtown McConnelsville, Ohio. The old theater is well-known for its numerous ghost sightings and has hosted numerous ghost hunting expenditures and subsequent television shows.
Fasten your seatbelts as we delve deeper into the mysteries of planes beyond the physical world, explaining the theories of quantum physics, energy, and vibration that guide our understanding. Sharing heartwarming stories of loved ones communicating with us through vibration, we discuss how one can become receptive to these energies. We also examine the influences of Eastern and Western religions on our comprehension of life and the afterlife. Isha offers practical advice on nurturing connections with spirits and gaining wisdom from life's experiences. Join us for a conversation that promises to stretch your understanding of reality and inspire you to embrace the spiritual.

Have you ever wrestled with the guilt and grief that comes from the unimaginable loss of a child? As your hosts, we welcome you into a raw and poignant conversation with the brave Zadi Ashbrook, a young mother navigating those very emotions. Her story is a testament to the strength born out of necessity, the unique journey of grief, and the potential for post-traumatic growth.
Zadi doesn't hold back in sharing the reality of losing a child; the guilt, the painful "what-ifs," and the seeming impossibility of life carrying on. She takes us through her personal healing journey, sharing how counseling and journaling have been instrumental in her process. We engage in an open conversation about the often-unsaid aspects of grief, the unexpected waves of loss, and the transformation of relationships after such a life-altering event.
Our discussion moves into the realm of coping; highlighting the importance of seeking support, the significance of navigating significant dates and milestones, and the potential for growth amidst the pain. Whether it's through the currency of shared experiences or the promise of resilience, Zadi's story serves as a beacon of hope for others on a similar path.
This is not just an episode; it's an invitation to a shared journey of healing, growth, and transformation; and it is part of the special Faith Beyond Child Loss Series.

Learn about the available resources at the college levels and the lack of those same resources at the high school level. We discuss the vital role various stakeholders, such as parents, administrators, and coaches, should play in providing mental health support to our young student athletes.
Highlighting personal stories of aspiration and growth, McKenzie and Gabby share their dreams and plans for the future. Darryl, aka Coach D, opens up about how he found his purpose amidst adversity, further underlining the link between positive mental health and effective leadership.

Can you imagine finding true growth and a new sense of purpose after experiencing trauma and adversity? In this heartfelt episode, I uncover the concept of Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) and how it has personally impacted my life after breaking my neck and later in life, losing my son. I kick off the show with a comforting Bible passage from 2 Corinthians 4:17, and then, I discuss the effects of trauma and the essential role professional help plays in processing the emotional baggage that often holds us back.
As I share my journey towards embracing happiness despite hardship, I explore the scientifically proven benefits of PTG, such as stronger relationships and discovering inner strength. Moreover, I encourage you to reach out with your own stories of post-traumatic growth and how you've managed to find the silver lining in the midst of adversity. Lastly, I offer a sign of hope I experienced that inspired me to look for similar hopeful signs in my own life, and I invite you to do the same. Join me in this empowering conversation and learn how to transform your pain into growth and purpose.

A special episode, where Tim shares a message about Father's Day for those dads who have lost a child. The holiday takes on a very different meaning when there is no child there to celebrate with.
A chapter from his book Child Loss 101 and an excerpt from one of his other books, When the Cardinal Calls, sets the groundwork for a message that Tim delivers with passion. It's a message to be shared for bereaved fathers everywhere this Father's Day.

This week, I interview a normal guy with a not-so-normal story. Sherman O'Bryan joins the podcast to share the difficult moments of his life and how an out-of-body experience gave him renewed faith.

In this episode, I talk to Olivia Baer about her struggles growing up with mental health issues. We also discuss the Top 10 Things People Can Do for Mental Health, and I share another Sign of Hope segment.
Olivia was overweight, had a speech impediment, and had a lot difficulty in school. She realized she was having abnormal mental issues as she approached her teenage years. But the school bullying made her condition worse, resulting in her senior year being one of the worst years of her life.
Listen in to hear this young lady's incredible story about losing weight, learning to love exercise, and working to overcome her issues. Things still aren't easy for Olivia, but she is now in her mid-twenties, married, and working towards having her first child. Yet, she took the time to join us in order to share important information about how mental health is something we should all take more seriously.

I am kicking off the new series with a solo show in which I discuss the pain of being alone when extreme adversity hits. You may have support early on, but eventually you will find yourself alone and that is when things may get the most difficult. On the show, I get brutally honest about how I almost didn't go on after losing my child. A story straight out of my Child Loss 101 book called, "You Are Not Alone" is featured, and a power ballad, "Mountains in Your Way" by Bex adds to this week's dramatic episode. And we finish up with a "Sign of Hope" story to round things out.

This week I wanted to share a conversation I had with Pastor Paul Turner regarding the story of Mary and the birth of Jesus. If you are looking for an interesting take on Christmas, Pastor P delivers. He provides insights about what Mary was going through prior to the birth - things I hadn't really considered before.
Listen in as we discuss how Christmas is a time of both joy and sadness for many who are living with loss and/or facing some form of adversity. Christians sometimes think they can't express sorrow during the most joyous time of year, but Pastor P says that's not true. This is the perfect Christmas time discussion!

In the second Faith Beyond Podcast, I revisit a conversation I had with an amazing lady, Sue Bump. The Good Grandma Gone Bad comedian sat at my kitchen table one day to talk about having faith despite facing cancer, how your family is everything, and that we all need to make sure we are having fun while we can.
This interview will cause you to ponder life and think about how you are living it. It's a short episode, but it's packed full of gems. I am sad to say that this interview was Sue's last as her cancer overtook her later the year we did this show, but her words of wisdom will live on forever.
In this episode, Sue shares:
- How to make a marriage last for 50 years
- How she approached her fight with cancer and the value of holding onto your faith
- Trustin God despite the adversity we may face
- 3 keys to living a great life

We are entering the holiday season and this can be an extremely difficult time of the year for those who have lost someone they loved. Depression can set in and what was once the most enjoyable time of the year can now be heartwrenching. Negative thoughts may creep in and depression can take over. The question we need to ask is - when is it alright to feel sad and have those dark thoughts and when is it time to seek help?
With that in mind, I wanted to bring someone on the show to talk about suicide awareness and prevention. You may wonder how you are going to survive another holiday season without a piece of your heart. You may feel like you can't go on. It can be difficult, to say the least. Hopefully, you will find this premiere episode of the Faith Beyond with Tim Maceyko podcast helpful as you work your way through this holiday season.
