  • I Love You, I Love You, I Love You
    50, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You
    Viki Esther hails from Singapore. She has recently reinvented herself and has begun podcasting and helping others share their stories on a variety of subjects.
    Viki's father died when she was just a little girl. She tells of staying with her mother when she was very ill and her mother not being able to utter more than a whisper - however, at this time she shouted for Viki's dad across the room! Viki awoke from her sleep and went to her mother's bedside and it was here that they had their first mention of Mr. Chang since his death years before.
    Viki speaks of her own experience of feeling unable to verbally express love. She bought her mom all the spa treatments, the clothes, the perfume...all gifts to show her love.
    Viki has decided to share her experiences, dreams and poems of and about her mom with the world, in her book called Candle In The Wind: Dreams of A Daughter which can be found here:

    Viki read a poem from her book during the interview, but the audio was not usable. You may find her poem here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgELi4PrG30

  • Maybe I'm Not Leaving, Maybe I'm Just Going Home
    49, Maybe I'm Not Leaving, Maybe I'm Just Going Home
    Melissa Pennel is a mom to two little girls, a wife, an author, a life coach, and is pushing through life, full steam ahead. She has used her grief along with her own unanswered questions to create journals for mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, and most recently fathers and sons and fathers and daughters.
    Melissa speaks about her father and his role in her life, including his absence, reappearance, and death. Melissa struggled with addiction, and discusses finding her sobriety in the last year of her mom's life. Melissa's mom, Delise, passed away in her sleep unexpectedly. She shares the gifts her mother gave to her throughout her life and describes the tole her mother's death took on her, and how she copes with this loss.

    Melissa's advice: Go straight into that pain. Wail and sob and scream and rage. Go into it, don't be afraid of it. Know that by going into it, it will mean you can move past it.
    This interview was recorded in February 2021. Due to Melissa's maternity leave, and just due to timing, it has worked out for us to release this episode just a day before Melissa's newest journals will be launched (9-10-21). You can preorder before this date and you can find all of Melissa's books at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Pennel/e/B08NWGBVBV%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share

    Phil Jr. stops in to talk with Steph about his father, Phil Sr. Phil's love and admiration for his father is apparent in the way he speaks about his dad. Phil has lost his mother as well, but chooses here to speak mostly about his father.
    Phil's own daughter was only 6 months old when his dad passed away.

Together they form Birch Leaf Wellness, where they are both Reiki Masters. They also have their own podcast, Wellness Collaborative. They talk about reiki, grief, health, self-care and anything else that comes up. You can find their podcast on Spotify.

Joshua shares about his experiences with his father in life, as well as after death. Joshua explains "the world was gray to me...I just didn't feel alive inside," after his father's death. That is, until he had the dream. The dream that brought the color back, and inspired Joshua to pursue his field of expertise.
