How I Made It Through

As I've said before, it is often through pain and suffering that we learn our most profound lessons. It is through courageously exploring the inner landscape of our lives and seeking healing that we transform. Joining me this season is my newest co-host, Bernadette Thompson. Bernadette and I invite you to join us — now twice a week — as we continue to explore the extraordinary stories of those who've had near death and spiritually transformative experiences, or are simply wise and old souls, sent here to help the collective awaken and heal. Our show reminds us that death of the body does not mean death of the soul, and that indeed, we do transition into the wonder of the afterlife and come back, again and again and again. Our hope is that each episode will serve as inspiration for your own spiritual discovery. We thank you for joining us in this powerful learning, and ask that you subscribe, comment, like and share. Together we can spread the growing awareness that we are all infinite souls, sent to earth school at this very unique and miraculous time in human evolution. If you are either curious or even consumed with delving deeper into what happens when we die, and how we can become more fully alive, then this is the show for you.
