The possibility of reconciling with estranged family
December 4, 2022

Some family does not forgive and move on. The last fight could have changed the relationship forever.

Some people hold on to grudges and expect you to come groveling back. But if it’s not your fault, should you? Do you want to reconnect but are waiting for them to apologize?

If you have estranged friends or family, this episode may help you reconnect or accept that perhaps you may never be able to reconcile.

The pain of loss
January 2, 2022

The pain of loss shouldn’t be stuffed down and avoided, it should be felt at the deepest level, but only when you’re ready and only at the pace you can handle. Everyone experiences loss differently so what works for one person may not work for you.

In this episode, I help you connect with the deeper layers underneath the loss so that perhaps there can be some small release or relief. This isn’t about healing, it’s about connecting. And sometimes that’s all that’s needed to start healing.

If you’re on a road that you believe is never going to end and never going to get better, what do you do? Should you just accept that’s your lot in life and you should just deal with it?

Or do you take a leap of faith in a direction that leads to the unknown in hopes that life will get better? There is always hope, but sometimes it has to be pursued.
