SHATTERING MYTHS: Does God Really Kill Our Loved Ones?

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondI get this question often and it breaks my heart every single time. People want to find someone to blame for the death of a loved one. They speculate on whether they did something that God is punishing them for. He's punished them by killing their loved one. They wonder if their loved one did something wrong. God smites sinners. Right? Does God kill us for doing something wrong? Does God kill our loved ones for something we did?Spoiler alert- the answer to both questions is always no.  But, listen to the episode for my reasoning.Visit 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 Support the show🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Join Facebook Group- Get Support and Education 👛 Subscribe to Grief 2 Growth Premium (bonus episodes)📰 Get A Free Gift📅 Book A Complimentary Discovery Call📈 Leave A ReviewThanks so much for your support

BRIGHTLY GUIDED: Ingrid’s Encounters with Beings of Light!

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondI have heard Ingrid in several interviews before and had the pleasure of having a conversation with her on behalf of Helping Parents Heal. But, I had not read her book "A Brightly Guided Life" until the day before this conversation.Ingrid has had two near-death/out of body experiences. Intuitive from a very young age, Ingrid has sense spirit and "light beings" around her all of her life. Her book reads like a novel as Ingrid has faced many challenges in her life. However, a key lesson that comes through loud and clear is that Ingrid's life has been guided, even through events that no one would wish for themselves. Even during times when Ingrid told the Beings of Light she wanted to go on her own, they were there guiding her life. As I was reading her book what I realized is that while Ingrid is unique in her experience with the Beings of Light, we all lead brightly guided lives, whether we are aware of it or not.Ingrid is now an inspirational teacher, speaker, and author. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to have another conversation with her.for more on Ingrid, visit www.ingridhonkala.comfor more information see me at:📚 https://www.grief2growth.comto book a free half hour consultation visit:⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentaryfind me on Facebook at:👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growthcommunityVisit 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.

THREE WORLDS BEYOND: Natalie Sudman’s Astonishing NDE Story!

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondWow. I am so excited about this episode. Natalie Sudman had an NDE in Iraq in 2007. She died when her vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. Natalie immediately found herself in another "environment" as she describes it. In total, she experienced three distinct environments and each taught her her valuable lessons about who we are and why we are here.  Her book The Application of Impossible Things is one of hundreds of NDEs I have read and dozens of books about Near Death Experiences. I have read it three or four times over the course of three years. Each time I get more depth from it.  I've wanted to have a conversation with Natalie for a long time. It was as great as I thought it would be. Listen to the interview, then get the book!     for more information see me at: 📚 https://www.grief2growth.com  to book a free half hour consultation visit: ⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-...  find me on Facebook at: 👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growth...Visit 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.

UNVEILING THE AFTERLIFE: Dana Stinson-Cumby’s Veridical NDE and Shared Death Experience!

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondDana Stinson-Cumby is the Shining Light Parent of Noah who passed away in September of 2017. In this episode, Dana relates a Near Death Experience that she had early in her life. It's a veridical NDE in that Dana saw things when she was out of her body that were later confirmed by others. Dana had a series of synchronicities that led her to a Shared Death Experience (a profound experience whereby a loved one, caregiver or bystander shares in a dying person’s initial transition from this world). As we look back on Dana's life, we see divine guidance all the way though. Pay close attention to the details of her NDE at the age of 12 because this will make sense in her Shared Death Experience later in life.p.s.-After the interview, Dana called me and gave me some more information about her Shared Death Experience. No matter how many times we have these experiences it seems we question our own sanity and experience when the world tells us what we have experienced is impossible.When you listen, you'll hear that Dana had a Shared Death Experience where she walked with a dying woman into her crossing. Dana saw imagery that was reminiscent of the experience she had as a 12-year-old. Yet, she wondered if this was real. In the Shared Death Experience, Dana saw the woman's eventual home that she had constructed mentally, a small house along the beach. The woman was wearing a scarf in Dana's experience. She appeared much younger than her sixty-plus years, closer to thirty. She, her Mom, Dad, and stepdaughter (who had passed) were sitting in a coach being carried by four angels, one on each corner. After the woman let go and passed, her brother, who was staying at a nearby hotel called to check on her status. He reported that he had fallen asleep and had the strangest dream. He saw his sister, on the beach, with a scarf around her neck. She was sitting in front of a small beach house and appeared to be around 30 years old- just as Dana had been shown in the Shared Death Experience.When the woman's daughter went to choose a casket, the catalog fell open to a page that was a casket with an angel on each corner. Amy, her daughter, chose this casket, not knowing of the vision Dana had where the four angels were carrying the coach.for more information see me at: 📚 Visit 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.

BREAKING BARRIERS: Daniel's Journey as a Christian Medium and Healer!

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondI met Daniel when he was volunteering with Voice of Our Angels, a support group for parents who have lost children. I moderated a gallery reading and Q&A session Daniel did for the parents. Daniel in addition to being a full time medical device salesman is a father of three small children, a husband, a Reiki practitioner, and has recently become a certified evidential medium. Daniel is a very busy guy and a fascinating interview.I wanted to have a conversation with Daniel on Grief 2 Growth because of his passion for ferreting out the truth when it comes to his faith and to mediumship. Many would say to be a Bible believing Christian and a medium is an oxymoron. I disagree and so does Daniel. In this episode, we talk about the scripture and mediumship as well as talking about what Daniel is up to in terms of being of service, following his passion, and following his calling.During our interview, I found out Daniel is opening a  meditation/healing/medium reading studio in upstate New York.  If you're in the Geneva, NY area, I'm sure he'd love it if you stopped by.  https://www.thezomestudio.com/Most Monday evenings, Daniel gives free readings on his Facebook page,  https://www.facebook.com/DANIELJOHNMEDIUM/ℹ️ for more information about Daniel visit www.danieljohmedium.comfor more information about me see me at:📚 https://www.grief2growth.comto book a free half hour consultation visit:⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentaryfind me on Facebook at:👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growthcommunityVisit 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.

TRANSFORMING TRAGEDY: How Elizabeth Boisson’s Loss Led to Helping Parents Heal

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondElizabeth Boisson is the founder of Helping Parents Heal, an international organization dedicated to helping parents after the loss of a child. Two of Elizabeth's children have transitioned; her daughter, Chelsea, in 1991 and her son, Morgan, in 2009 from severe altitude sickness while on a student trip to the Base Camp of Mt Everest in Tibet. Immediately after Morgan's passing, Elizabeth created the Facebook group Parents United in Loss. Then in 2012, she joined forces with Mark Ireland to form Helping Parents Heal. Elizabeth is a certified yoga instructor and teaches yoga for healing grief. She is the Affiliate Leader of the Phoenix/Scottsdale HPH group. In today's episode, I discussed with Elizabeth how the passing of Chelsea helped her prepare for the passing of Morgan and how the passing of Morgan led to the breaking open that caused Elizabeth to start this organization that has saved thousands of lives. We discussed what makes Helping Parents Heal different from other "bereavement" groups, the importance of language for healing, and the upcoming second Helping Parents Heal conference in Charleston, SC in April 2020.for more information on Helping Parents Heal- visit their website:www.helpingparentsheal.orgor find the Helping Parents Heal Online Group.  This is a closed group only for parents who have children who have transitioned.www.facebook.com/helpingparentshealonlinefor more information see me at:📚 https://www.grief2growth.comto book a free half hour consultation visit:⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentaryfind me on Facebook at:👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growthcommunityVisit 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.

PROFOUND Lessons from Three Near-Death Experiences: Michelle Clare’s Journey! EP 003

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondMichelle Clare is a three time Near Death Experiencer, a certified evidential medium, and an intuitive life coach. I met Michele as a test sitter for her mediumship certification.  In this episode, Michelle shares with us three very different Near Death Experiences. I believe that NDEs are tailored for the individual having them to provide them with the lessons they need and that they need to share with the rest of us. Michelle's experiences support my hypothesis as each experience came at a time in her life, with a lesson that she needed.  Michelle, as an evidential medium, delivers messages, with evidence, that she is connecting with your loved ones in spirit. As an intuitive life coach, Michelle connects with your spirit guides, angels, loved ones in spirit, etc. to bring you guidance for your life.  This was a fascinating conversation covering a wide range of topics.  You can find Michelle at https://www.michelleclare.net  For more information see me at: 📚 https://www.grief2growth.com  to book a free half hour consultation visit: ⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-...  find me on Facebook at: 👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growth...Visit 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.
