In this episode of Happily Holistic, Amy speaks with psychotherapist and prolific author Laurie Nadal. Laurie has written many books, including "Sixth Sense: Unlocking Your Ultimate Mind Power" and "The Five Gifts: Discovering Hope, Healing, and Strength When Disaster Strikes." She is also co-leading an online support group for long-haul COVID patients with the Pulmonary Wellness Foundation.

Key points include:

- The inspiration for her book, “The Five Gifts,” which came to her in a meditation after losing her home to Hurricane Sandy in 2012: humility, patience, empathy, and forgiveness

- How the COVID pandemic has given us the opportunity to receive the gift of patience

- How large-scale loss and suffering can lead to personal and collective existential crises, which then leads to an awakening individually and for humanity at large

- How the current pandemic and economic crisis has tremendous potential for us to become a more intuitive and empathic species
