Are you ready to allow grief in your life?

In this episode together, I'm joined by a true light in the world and Empress of Aging, Sue Patton Thoele. Sue is an "Emeritus-Most-Everything," Public Speaker, Seminar Leader, former Hospice Chaplain and Psychotherapist, and the Author of 13 beautiful books. After an unsatisfactory reading of a self-help book, Sue casually commented: "If I ever write a book, I'm going to make it practical." A few months later, Sue's first book, "The Courage To Be Yourself," was published, and it was a landmark for a beautiful, prolific, and fulfilling new stage of her life. 

Throughout this episode, Sue shares her thoughts on grieving as an act of surrendering and how allowing it into our lives naturally and organically heals it. We also talk about the common mistake of grieving failures and things we regret not doing, the importance of paying attention to our needs, and taking good care of ourselves while grieving. 

We also discuss the modern world's lack of empathy, how messy grief can be, grief as an incubator for compassion, and much more.

Is it possible to prepare for peaceful grieving? 

In this episode, I'm joined by Kimberly Best, a Civil and Family Mediator, Author, Speaker, Conflict Management and Mediation Specialist, and Coach. Kimberly thrives on helping others solve their conflicts in non-litigious ways, working tirelessly to find optimal solutions for all parties. In her book, "How To Live Forever," she takes the reader through a humanized guide on how to be prepared and ready to make difficult decisions and deal with end-of-life issues with ease, peace, and without headaches and unpleasant surprises. 

Throughout our conversation, we discuss the importance of acknowledging we are all going to die, and the sooner we sort things out and prepare for that moment, the better. Kimberly talks about her mediation, conflict-solving, and nursing background, how making peace with the idea of dying frees our minds, and the importance of having conversations about death with our loved ones before it is too late. 

Additionally, we discuss her book "How to Live Forever, A Guide to Writing the Final Chapter of Your Life Story," what inspired her to write it, why we should ask more questions in our medical consultations, and much more.

Where do you come from when you think about what you want in your life, lack or abundance? 

In this episode, I have an inspirational conversation with Andrew Kap about how gratitude, manifestation, and the law of attraction can utterly change our grieving process and our lives. Andrew is the Author of several books, including the Amazon #1 Best-seller book "The Last Law of Attraction Book You'll Ever Need To Read," "3 Words I Used To Sell 100,000 Books," and "Just Feel Good. 

Throughout our conversation, Andrew explains how opening ourselves from a place of abundance to get more of what we want works, what changes in us when we make gratitude part of our routine, and how he knows that the person, the joy, or the fulfillment we are looking for is also looking for us.
