What if grief isn't about letting go of the person you love—but learning how to experience your relationship with them differently?

In this deeply moving conversation, I’m joined by David J. Roberts, LMSW and Rev. Patty Furino, whose unlikely friendship began with a phone call, a computer glitch, and a double rainbow.

Dave is a retired addiction professional, educator, and grief and bereavement specialist who lost his 18-year-old daughter, Jeannine, to cancer in 2003. Patty is an Interfaith Minister who has spent decades helping people navigate difficult seasons of life through spirituality, intuition, and the wisdom found across different spiritual traditions.

When they first met in 2010, Dave approached life and grief largely through a science-based lens. Patty came from a deeply spiritual perspective.

Then something happened that began to change the way Dave understood his daughter's death.

A rainbow.

And then another.

Their friendship became a 15-year exploration of grief, spirituality, signs, synchronicity, consciousness, and the possibility that our relationships with the people we love can continue even after physical death.

In this episode, we talk about:

One of the things I love most about Dave and Patty's story is that neither of them had to become the other.

Dave didn't have to stop being the scientist.

Patty didn't have to stop being the spiritual teacher.

Instead, they became curious about one another's way of seeing the world.

And somewhere in that space between science and spirituality, grief and love, questioning and believing, something beautiful happened.

They became family.

A question to carry with you

Maybe it was a song at exactly the right moment. A number you kept seeing. A dream. A familiar scent. An animal appearing at an unusual time. Or perhaps a rainbow that seemed to arrive when you needed it most.

What if, instead of immediately deciding what these experiences mean, we simply became willing to notice them?

Because sometimes the first step isn't finding an answer.

It's becoming curious enough to ask the question.

What if every ache, blockage, or chronic condition in your body is actually stuck emotional energy trying to get your attention? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck sits down with Kristine Genovese — corporate turnaround specialist turned energy healer and creator of the Soul Intelligence® Method — to explore the science and spirituality behind bioenergetic healing. Kristine shares the story of the sudden 2020 layoff that redirected her life, breaks down how stuck emotional energy shows up as physical symptoms, and walks through real client stories — from a sacral chakra clearing that restored a client's period, confidence, and business leads overnight, to her own reversal of a cervical cancer scare through energy work and reclaiming her divine feminine. The conversation covers chakras, self-limiting beliefs, generational and past-life energy patterns, and why Kristine believes "the future of medicine is frequency."

What would you do if a doctor gave you three months to live — with a newborn at home?

Meagan Price was 27 years old, freshly postpartum, when a rare secondary complication from her MS medication crossed the blood-brain barrier and began destroying the brain's gray matter. The prognosis was terminal. Her response? "Fuck that. Here we go."

Over the next seven years, Meagan studied more than 200 healing modalities across the globe — from Medical Qigong to Sámi shamanic practice in Finland — and fully reversed her MS symptoms. Today she is a certified Medical Qigong Doctor, Reiki Master Teacher, and founder of Healing Thyme, a wellness practice in Provo, Utah. Her son is now seven. She is thriving.

In this episode, we explore the ancient roots of all healing, the profound difference between guilt and shame, the three pillars of wellness, and what meditation actually means — from someone who does it seven hours a day.

What does it take to rebuild a life — and a self — from the ground up?

Martha Glory Kartaoui spent the first 26 years of her life inside a religious cult, where every aspect of her existence was controlled: her name, her food, her relationships, her thoughts. She experienced profound physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and sexual abuse. And when she finally escaped at 26, she entered a world she had no tools to navigate.

In this deeply moving episode, Martha shares her extraordinary journey from cult survivor to trauma healer — how her body began breaking down in her early 30s, how a single line in a somatic healing class changed everything, and how 14 years of dedicated healing work transformed not only her body but her identity, her faith, and her purpose.
