[elementor-template id="25581"]

My guest on today’s show firmly believes that your grief is the gateway to your greatest good.

When trauma strikes, the grief that follows can be profoundly disorienting and elusive—often described as ambiguous in nature. My guest, Stephanie Sarazin, knows this all too well. She experienced this complex form of grief firsthand and has since dedicated her life to researching, understanding, and healing it.

Stephanie’s journey began with a midlife crisis that ignited an intense spiritual and global exploration, leading her to a groundbreaking definition of ambiguous grief: the mourning of a loved one who is still living.

In this empowering discussion, Stephanie shares how shifting your perspective on disruptive events can help you turn grief into growth. We delve into how hope isn’t just a fleeting emotion but a tangible stage of grieving and why embracing grief’s fluid, nonlinear nature is crucial in navigating loss.

In this enlightening episode, you’ll gain an expanded understanding of loss and sadness and receive practical guidance to transcend life’s most challenging moments. Stephanie offers a compassionate reminder to embrace grief in all its nuance, validating it as a universally human experience. Now, let’s dive into her thoughtful perspectives on finding meaning amid life’s hardest moments.

Finding Meaning in the Mundane with Kute Blackson

In a world saturated with digital immersion, the quest for true inward and outward connection often feels untenable. Enter my guest on today’s show, Kute Blackson, a man whose life, stretched across four continents, has birthed the transformative philosophy of “Liberated Living.”

Kute’s perspective marries the preordained with personal agency, suggesting that while certain trajectories are set, the journey’s texture is largely ours to define.

As we take a deep dive into generational patterns, the illusion of divine separation, and the miracles we often overlook, Kute bridges the chasm between the sacred and the mundane, asserting that each moment dances with divinity. This discussion is not just an exploration—it’s an invitation to challenge our perceptions, unlock our authentic selves, and stride with intention on the authentic path.

What if we hold the power to heal ourselves by simply accessing Earth’s living intelligence?

My guest on today’s show is Michael Roviello. After years of pain and declining health following his deployment in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the Navy veteran declined a second neck surgery and followed his intuition’s call into the jungle.

Secrets to a Soulful Relationship with Sheila and Marcus Gillette

If you’re a new listener to this show, you may not know that my guests on this episode had a profound influence on my spiritual path. I met Marcus Gillette through Genius Network in a Zoom breakout. I knew immediately when he spoke about his wife, Sheila Gillette, the famous psychic medium, that I had to have her on the show, which I did – episode 277. In preparation for that episode, which was in late 2020, I watched a video of Sheila telling her story about asking God to give her a job to do. Fast forward a few months later to January 22nd, 2021, when I prayed to God for a job and was shown an incredible vision of how this illusion called reality actually works. The rest, as they say, is history!

I’m honored to have not only Sheila back, but also have her partner in work and life, Marcus. For over 25 years, Sheila has been the direct voice medium for a collective of 12 Archangels known as THEO. After a divinely guided meeting in 1997, Sheila and Marcus married and began spreading THEO’s wisdom together, empowering thousands worldwide. The Gillettes recently published their new book, The Art of Relationship: Discover the Magic of Unconditional Love.

In today’s show, Sheila and Marcus share insights on soul contracts, seeing beyond karma to growth opportunities, and embodying unconditional love by releasing limiting beliefs about ourselves. Get ready to be uplifted by the magic that unfolds when two soulmates unite to raise the collective consciousness!

The Guides Have Spoken with Paul Selig

Still, my guest on this episode gives us a peek into his fascinating experience as one of the foremost spiritual channels working today.

In this episode, Paul talks about how Source, Spirit, and God can be seen as interchangeable terms, though people may use them differently based on personal interpretation. Despite his atheistic past, Paul now sees the world through a spiritual lens and views his psychic abilities as a service to others rather than a personal gift. He acknowledges his role as a “stenographer” for the Guides, reiterating that his duty is to accurately convey their teachings. Throughout the course of his spiritual journey, Paul continues to learn, grow, and share his profound experiences with others. So without any further ado, on with the show!
