    Afraid of Love in the Afterlife

    Afraid of Love in the Afterlife

    True love means sticking with a person "till death do us part". But what happens when the human bond of love extends beyond death into the afterlife?

    The Love Story
    When Robert (Bob) Possiel scrolled to Jen’s profile on a social media platform, he was just looking for a trainer for his overeager new puppy. A business owner with a great life and two marriages behind him, he wasn’t seeking anything more. But events would soon show Bob that the seemingly chance meeting was not so coincidental after all... and that the bond he and Jen would come to share would transcend struggles, separations, and even themselves in a breathtaking tale of the power of love in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including death.

    Ruthie Larkin (Beantown Medium) - the psychic medium that Bob consulted - joins us to help tell the story, and unveils how amazing events unfolded in one of her most memorable client cases.
    About Robert Possiel
    Robert is a successful entrepreneur, lifelong race car aficionado, and proud Great Dane Dad who never expected to become an author. He also never expected the outcome of an improbable relationship that blossomed into finding his soulmate. The experiences recounted in Bob's non-fiction book - "Love is Always the Answer" - have led him on a spiritual path to understanding the mysteries which we too often ignore. He’s sharing his story to help others find inspiration during their own life challenges. He especially hopes to lighten the grief for those who have had a similar experience in losing the love of their lives.
    Buy the book at Amazon in hardcover,  paperback and ebook (Kindle).Visit Bob's website: loveisalwaystheanswerbook.comAbout Ruthie Larkin (Beantown Medium)
    Ruthie Larkin has had psychic and healing abilities since childhood. She used them for the benefit of her family and close friends until 2007... when she decided to embrace her calling. Having spent her adult life in corporate sales for major organizations, she finally decided it was time to utilize her gifts. She now has a substantial following around the country, particularly in the New England area. She's available for private, phone, and group readings, as well as large events.

Turning me into a paranormal fanatic

Prior to listening to this show I avoided watching or listening to anything paranormal related mostly out of fear. I started listening to the show after a friend recommended it and now I can’t stop! I’m so intrigued to learn more. I appreciate Bob’s enthusiasm and really love his sometimes co-host, Cuyle Carvin. Cuyle’s got such a sexy voice! Hope to hear him on more podcasts!

Fascinating show with a compelling host

I may be a bit biased, as I know Bob personally, but even I didn’t predict how interesting and compelling his podcast would be, nor did I have an idea of what a great job he would do as a host. I knew he was extremely knowledgeable about the material but being a compelling podcaster requires that rare combination of voice, knowledge and charisma.

Awesome show about life and the afterlife!

Fascinating!
