David Hayward- The Naked Pastor
Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondThis one was a big thrill for me. I've been a fan of David's cartoons for many years. And I got to interview him to learn about the man behind the pen. His cartoons are biting, funny, and sometimes hurt a little as David expresses the emotions many of us feel when we deconstruct our religion.David Hayward was ordained to the ministry in 1987 and left in 2010.Heβs been running the nakedpastor blog since 2005 where he posts his provocative cartoons and articles.He launched an online community called The Lasting Supper, a place for people to change without being judged or instructed, and where they can learn to become spiritually independent.Heβs been cartooning, making art, writing, speaking, and coaching around his core passions: personal authentic freedom, the power to change our own lives, and the creative spirit to make our world a better place.He and his wife live in eastern Canada. They have three adult children.π https://www.thenakedpastor.comVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.

Unbelievable Journey: How 19 Intuitive Readers Confirmed John Davis' Past Life as an Apostle
Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondJohn Davis has a pretty wild story. 19 different intuitive readers independently and spontaneously told him about a very specific past life. Raised as a Catholic, psychics were not something he particularly believed in or trusted. So John of New scheduled a session with a past life regression therapist. Under hypnosis, he remembered the exact life the readers had and told him of. He remembered the life of John, the Beloved apostle. In that regression, he remembered meeting Jeshua bin Joseph better known as Jesus. He also witnessed the crucifixion of his friend. John now has a popular YouTube channel called John of New that shares what he learned 2000 years ago.π John's Websitehttps://www.johnofnew.comJohn has a discount offer for youπ https://www.johnofnew.com/podcastspecial.htmlVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.

In addition, today Lisa Simone, author, actor, singer, executive producer, and daughter of the great Nine Simone, joins us. Lisa became a fan of Frances and the books and is one of the narrators of the brand-new audiobook version!I'm not prone to exaggeration. The Team books have changed my outlook on life as much as any spiritual material I've read.On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Gloria Crystal "Teddy" Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her lilting voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state. Through various experiences, including direct contact with her mother, automatic writing, and sudden downloads of information, this remarkable 4-book series was handwritten in less than a year. The Team material has astounded a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, wit, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the experience of being human while belonging to a spiritual team.Frances, a retired teacher, writes books, songs, and scripts. She has been involved in various creative projects, including musical theater, writing choral music, and much more. She will share with us today information about the recent Audiobook release of Team Book One and her newest creative projects.https://www.TheTeamBooks.comVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.

Why Meditation Isn't Working For You- Kelvin Chin
Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondWhy meditation isn't working for me is a common search I recommend meditation to all of my clients. I can't count how many have told me, "I can't meditate. Meditation isn't for me." I've been meditating for about 15 years. I've studied several types of meditation, used apps, and bought devices. For several years, I meditated without missing a day.When I learned Kelvin was offering "Turning Within" as a class, I wondered what I could learn about meditation. Not that I know it all. But, I found a practice that worked well for me. I've been training with Kelvin for about two weeks as of the recording of this episode. His technique is simple, easy, and effective. Kelvin has taught experienced meditators to improve their practices, and his technique is easy enough that a beginner probably will pick it up easier than someone seasoned, like me, who has learned all kinds of wrong information.π Kelvin's website:https://www.kelvinchin.orgVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.
