Adopted into a deeply religious family, Lori felt constrained by rigid rules and expectations from a young age. Even as a child, she sensed that what she was being taught didn’t resonate with her soul. This disconnect was compounded by experiences of abuse and trauma within her church, leaving her feeling unsafe and unseen—yet still inwardly aware that she was a deeply spiritual being. Despite these challenges, Lori’s authentic self remained free-spirited, intuitive, and guided by a strong inner knowing. She describes always having a gut feeling about people and situations and learning over time to trust those instincts as a form of inner guidance. After her mother’s passing, Lori experienced a profound and comforting dream that gave her the personal confirmation she needed that her mom was okay. Since then, she continues to receive signs, reassurance, and spiritual guidance from both her mother and father after their passing. Today, Lori honors her spiritual nature through a variety of practices, allowing her the freedom to choose what resonates in the moment. Whether it’s meditating in a warm candle-lit bath with soothing music, reading uplifting books, or praying in her own way, Lori embraces spirituality as a living, evolving relationship with her soul. Her story is a powerful reminder that spiritual connection doesn’t have to follow one path, and that trusting yourself is often the truest form of faith.

In this deeply moving conversation, Theresa reflects on the early pull toward anger and revenge, and how forgiveness, journaling, therapy, and meditation became lifelines for processing grief. She recounts a profound guided-meditation experience where she reconnected with her children, and how building a new life with her husband Todd, while raising stepchildren, helped her rediscover purpose and meaning.  Theresa also opens up about her long road to publishing, writing her book in 2000 but not releasing it until 2017. Along the way, her story reached a wider audience through appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and contributions to Gary Zukav’s newsletter, as well as inspiration from his book The Seat of the Soul. Theresa describes how a lifelong openness to mediumship was affirmed during a reading with James Van Praagh, who shared validating details about her children and the protective guides who supported her healing.  Throughout the episode, Theresa and Julie explore authenticity as a soul lesson, how moving from privacy to openness transformed Theresa’s healing and allowed her to serve others. She shares the meaningful signs she receives from her children, especially goldfinches, and how publishing Healing Tears on Valentine’s Day 2017 marked another turning point in her story. Today, Theresa continues to share her story to offer hope, resilience, and gentle guidance to anyone navigating grief and trauma.

    Healing and Connection through Mediumship with Julie Cluff

    ✨ Download Your Free Angel Guide Here ✨👉⁠https://angels.buildalifeafterloss.com⁠ Visit the Episode Page and links to today's guest here: 👉 ⁠https://lighttheday.com/47 In this heartfelt episode, Julie Cluff shares her deeply personal journey into mediumship and spiritual connection. Following the devastating loss of her brother and later her children, Julie began experiencing profound spiritual moments that gently opened the door to her mediumship abilities. What began as subtle messages coming through during coaching sessions gradually revealed a deeper calling to understand and communicate with the spirit world more clearly. Julie describes how messages from her clients’ loved ones often appeared unexpectedly during sessions, leading her to pursue formal mediumship training to better interpret and deliver these communications with clarity and integrity. She recounts several remarkable experiences, including a powerful reading in which a client’s father accurately foresaw future family events, and another extraordinary moment when a woman’s sister-in-law communicated from the other side just hours after her physical passing. Throughout the episode, Julie emphasizes that mediumship is not about constant communication, but about recognizing the loving presence of those who have crossed over. Our loved ones remain close, offering guidance, comfort, and support when we are open to receiving it. This episode offers reassurance, hope, and a gentle reminder that love continues beyond the veil.

    ✨ Download Your Free Angel Guide Here ✨👉⁠https://angels.buildalifeafterloss.com⁠ Visit the Episode Page and links to today's guest here: 👉 ⁠https://lighttheday.com/45In this deeply moving episode, Jeffery shares the life-altering car accident that took the lives of his wife and young son while leaving him critically injured. In the moments between life and death, he found himself surrounded by a radiant, comforting light where his wife appeared and urged him to return to their surviving son. Though filled with peace and longing to stay, Jeffery made the heartbreaking choice to come back to life and face the immense grief ahead.  Jeffery describes a profound near-death experience in which he observed a trauma center with 360-degree awareness, perceiving the souls, emotions, and stories of everyone present. Throughout his six-month hospitalization and 18 surgeries, he continued receiving spiritual communication from his wife—including her burial wishes and messages of love and reassurance. He also experienced a powerful reunion with his son Griffin in spirit, accompanied by a divine presence offering forgiveness, peace, and the reminder that nothing in life is outside a greater plan.  As he recovered, Jeffery began the long journey of integrating these spiritual encounters into his daily life. He shares how divine love, acceptance, and the presence of both earthly and heavenly support helped him navigate grief and deepen his relationship with his surviving son, Spencer. His story is a testament to the healing power of love and the universal desire for connection, meaning, and understanding—no matter our beliefs.
