DEAD Talks Finding Purpose Through Grief, Healing, and Reiki (#26)
Can grief guide us toward our life’s purpose? In this episode, we explore the intersection of loss, spirituality, and healing with a Reiki Master and Intuitive Healer who discovered the ability to connect with those who have passed.
Erika Tran, an Oncology Reiki Practitioner and NLP Practitioner, shares how her personal loss shaped her path and how her work with cancer patients has helped others find peace and meaning. The conversation begins with a powerful moment: her sensing the presence of my late father during the recording itself.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Reiki and intuitive healing support those facing grief and illness
- The ways personal loss can redirect our lives toward greater purpose
- Why spiritual practices can bring comfort in the face of death
- A firsthand story of connection with the other side during our talk
This is a raw, spiritual, and hopeful conversation about grief’s ability to transform us into who we are meant to be.

About DEAD Talks
DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
