Healing After Suicide Loss: Breaking the Silence That Keeps Survivors Stuck | Jayne Madigan EP |
When someone passes by suicide, the casseroles don't come. Neither do the cards or the phone calls. Jayne Madigan's sister lives in a neighborhood with a meal train for every birth and every death.

Can Past Lives Heal Grief? with Michelle Brock | EP 497
What if the grief you're carrying reaches back further than this one lifetime? In this episode, I talk with Michelle Brock, a past life regression specialist, psychic medium, and spiritual life coach based in New York City. This one got personal. Michelle recently guided me through my own past life regression, and we open up what that experience was like, what surfaced, and what it healed.

Empath Energy Protection: How to Stop Carrying Everyone Else's Pain | Lisa Campion
You walk into a room and you know who is upset before anyone opens their mouth. You come home from a store you were only in for forty minutes and you have nothing left. Your friends bring you their pain because you are the one who can hold it, and afterward you are the one lying on the couch. If any of that sounds like your life, this conversation is for you. Lisa Campion has spent a career helping sensitive people stop drowning in what they absorb. In this episode she breaks down empath ener...

Medium Barbra Banner: The Signs From Loved You're Already Missing | EP
Barbra Banner didn't set out to become a medium. It found her — through flying clocks, flickering lights, and orbs that showed up in her audition tapes, all within the span of a few days. What she didn't know then was that she was stepping into a gift that had quietly run through her family for generations. But before any of that, Barbra spent 35 years showing up for people in the worst moments of their lives — on crisis hotlines, in hospital emergency rooms, and with the LA Crisis Response ...

Remembering PMH Atwater: The Near-Death Experience Pioneer Who Died Three Times | EP 496
This week, we lost one of the true pioneers of near-death research. PMH Atwater passed away, and as a tribute to her, I'm re-releasing the very first interview I ever recorded with her back in 2019 — before she knew who I was, before I knew what I was doing, and before I understood what a gift those three conversations would turn out to be. If you've ever wondered what death actually feels like, whether thoughts are things, or how a person survives dying not once but three times in a single y...

Becoming a Grief Doula, with Dina Bell-Laroche | EP 495
What if the word "coach" isn't big enough for what grief actually needs? In this conversation, Dina Bell-Laroche walks me through the journey that took her from a devastated 29-year-old — grieving her younger sister Tracy, who passed from a rare cancer while pregnant with her first child — to becoming one of the clearest voices in grief and loss literacy today. We talk about why she moved away from calling herself a "grief coach," what a grief doula actually does, and how a disconnected rotar...

Spiritual Awakening After Loss: A Skeptic's Story with Nico Martens | EP 494
What if the worst day of your life is also the doorway to who you were always meant to be? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Nico Martens for one of the most personal conversations I've had on the show. Nico and I met about 11 years ago, right after my daughter Shayna passed. Our mutual friend Gini was coming to Shayna's service, and Nico told her Shayna had already visited him. That's how our friendship began, and Nico walked me through some of the darkest days of my life. Nico was ...

Finding the Will to Recover: Nick Prefontaine on Running Out of the Hospital After Doctors Said He Never Would At 14, Nick Prefontaine caught the edge of his snowboard going off the biggest jump in the terrain park — and that was the last thing he remembered. He woke up in a world where doctors had already told his parents he might never walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 90 days later, he ran out of the hospital. In this conversation, Nick takes us inside the recovery the motivat...
