Faith Health & Home

In my last podcast episode of 2020, I am ending this highly unusual year with a large dose of inspiration to take us into 2021!

I am joined by Bishop Leonard Scott, founder and CEO of Tyscot Records, the oldest Gospel record label in the world!

Home to popular Gospel recording artists such as Anthony Brown & group therAPy, Bri Babineaux, PJ Morton, VaShawn Mitchell. and others, Tyscot Records has been a leading #Gospel label and a highly recognized and respected African-American business -- all under the leadership of Bishop Leonard Scott with the late Pastor Craig Tyson -- for generations.

A widely-recognized leader of faith and wellness, Dr. Scott has traveled throughout the United States and abroad, speaking on health-related topics, and preaching gospel.

During our conversation, he shared his expert advice and practices that can be used to restore spiritual, mental, emotional, social, and physical health and wholeness in the New Year.

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has listened and/or subscribed to my podcast this year, and to all who have shared it here on social media, given it a like, comment, or review, or told a friend, family member, co-worker, fellow student, etc. about it!

On this episode, I speak with David Kessler, the world’s most well-known expert on grieving, and bestselling author.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us have lost loved ones AND the comfort of mourning together as families and communities.

In his book FINDING MEANING, Kessler gives readers a road map to remembering those who have transitioned, and moving forward in a way that honors our loved ones - especially during the difficult Holiday times. “Meaning,” Kessler writes, “comes through finding a way to sustain your love for the person after their passing while you’re moving forward with your life. That doesn’t mean you’ll stop missing your loved one, but it does mean that you will experience a heightened awareness of how precious life is.”

During our conversation, Kessler shared how hope and healing can often be found after loss -- even during the Holiday season.
