We still have a long way to go in western culture to help grievers feel fully supported throughout all of their grief. In this short episode, learn about how important community is related to death and grief around the world in some other cultures, and the two key elements missing in Western culture that forces us to isolate us in our grief and recovery.

Many of us are struggling today with stress and anxiety amidst personal problems, losses and tragedies. Whether we seek treatment or even get a diagnosis for what is troubling us remains questionable. I lived with PTSD for nearly ten years before being diagnosed.

Not understanding what is wrong with us when we are suffering from a mental condition, disorder or limitations can and does wreak havoc on our lives and the lives or our loved ones.

Meet my guest  Rosalyn Hui Zhang. Rosalyn is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Grief Recovery Specialist and Author.  In this episode, Rosalyn shares her story of a diagnosis of schizophrenia that begins in China. She shares what it was like to live believing she was schizophrenic, and ultimately, how she found holistic healing from what she now believes was a misdiagnosis. I am grateful to Rosalyn for telling her story because I learned a lot about a subject that remains taboo to talk about. I hope you will too.

In this episode from the Divine Healing coaching series, learn all about soul groups. Why we choose them and how they can benefit us.

This information can be fun to play around with or you can use it more seriously to make sense of your experiences and find your community to not feel so alone. Which can automatically happen when things occur in our life that make it hard for us to make sense of.

Learn how to Chakradance with Lauren Gayl! Though learning about chakras is nothing new for many,  understanding the 7 major chakras in the context of playing small in life will inform and empower you as you come to understand your own imbalances and decide whether you've been playing small or not.
 
 Certified to teach Chakradance by Natalie Southgate, the founder, Lauren's virtual 9-week course starts June 2nd  (she'll be with you throughout). Her app Dance Celebrate Heal is available on Apple and Google where you can get the details to register or visit her website (link below).
 
 I had so much fun speaking with Lauren. I love all strong women who inspire and have a strong desire to help others. Lauren is a gem! And though her niche is women playing small, this episode does not exclude anyone who wants to find more balance in their life by finding out the root cause of their imbalance.

Welcome to the first episode of my Divine Healing coaching series.  With my interest in metaphysics, a spiritual practice for over 40 years, my work as an Angel Healing Practitioner since 2006 and lived experience,  I take you where it all begins. Choosing our parents!

I am very open about how I credit the Divine with saving my life after my daughter Janaya died by suicide in 2005. I've never looked back. All  of what I teach in the Divine Healing coaching series is based on information channeled to me by the angels, and my daughter on the other side, immediately following her suicide in 2005.

They can be found in my first book "Divine Healing: Transforming Pain Into Personal Power" first published in 2011 and that remain the foundation of all my work today.

You don't have to believe. Not yet! Just have fun painting the picture that is your life as you consider all that you have experienced and with whom as you unravel the pieces of the unseen that offer you the most powerful and lasting healing from whatever you have gone through or are experiencing today.

Enjoy this enlightening conversation with bereaved dad, Joe McQuillen. Joe shares his spiritual transformation and the healing journey he began from the lessons he's learned regularly communicating with his beloved son Chris, who transitioned in January 2016.

While Joe is quite active sharing his experiences with Chris, I have been quieter about my own communication with my daughter, Janaya, on the other side. Just like Chris has been with his dad from Joe's early time of bereavement, Janaya has been communicating with me from her very first hours after transitioning in July 2005.

It was an absolute treat for me to share this time with Joe to talk about our experiences communicating with our children on the other side. We discuss what the After Life is like from our kids' perspective, the joys that this type of communication brings to us and how you can communicate with your child or other loved one on the other side if you long for this type of connection.

Relief is not necessarily something we think about for ourselves. I learned about it in therapy. It changed my life.

In this last coaching episode from the Get Me Started! online course in the Beyond Bereavement series, learn the importance of relief in your grief recovery and healing or when healing from any adversity, and how to implement it into your life.

This episode covers finding relief in small wins,  appreciating your past accomplishments, the risk you're willing to take to change, PTSD and survival mode and 5 tips to stay in the flow against the pressures we all face to be who we're not!

Anyone can access their best self. Anyone can create big changes in their life. Linda's genius zone is helping other people access THEIR genius zones.

If you want to live your fullest life, Linda is a go-to coach. With an undergrad degree in neuroscience and two graduate degrees in Psychology, Linda understands how the brain works and utilizes this knowledge as part of her coaching.

In this episode, we talk about losing yourself and finding yourself again even if you have to hit rock bottom to do it. We discuss what we are communicating to women as a culture, values, boundaries and beliefs, why not to say sorry, why we are all so desperate for connection, but how this can work against us when we are not first connected to our authentic self and living.
