The AHA Podcast is a space for the seekers, the grievers, the awakening — and anyone who has ever felt that there has to be more to this life than what we've been told. Hosted by Ali Andrus, this podcast was born from the most profound loss imaginable and the unexpected journey of healing, awakening, and transformation that followed. AHA stands for Awaken, Heal, Align — and that's exactly what we're here to do together. Each episode, Ali sits down with healers, near-death experiencers, mediums, scientists, and beautiful souls who have walked through the fire and come out the other side with wisdom to share. We talk about grief without filters, spirituality without dogma, and the kind of aha moments that quietly change everything. Because your loved ones aren't gone. Because you can't do life wrong. And because the little things — a note slipped under a door, a stranger smiling in the snow, a light that turns on at just the right moment — are often the most profound things of all. If you're ready to awaken, heal, and align — you're in the right place. 💙

    Kamara's Soul Knew “There’s Something Else I’m Supposed to Do” (ep 18)

    What if our souls knew all along? In this tender conversation, Erika Blair shares the light of her daughter Kamara, whose name means “God knows best,” and the signs that showed her everything unfolded in divine order. 💙🌙 Erika Blair joins me on the AHA Podcast as she approaches the one-year angelversary of her daughter Kamara. She walks us through Kamara’s vibrant life, from her love of nature, music, and travel to her service work and full-ride scholarship at Claflin University, and the remarkable synchronicities surrounding her transition: a soul connection with her friend Savion, who passed just four weeks before her; an unexpected trip to Nigeria to see family one last time; and a childhood memory book that appeared the same day Kamara visited her little brother. We also share some jaw-dropping parallels between our daughters, including moon signs and a shared Interstellar connection, and talk about how grief can awaken us to what truly matters. Erika shares how she’s turning pain into purpose through Sunflower Mamas, a heart-centered community for mothers who have lost a child. If you’re a parent walking this path, you are not alone. 🌻 Connect with Sunflower Mamas: Sunflower Mamas Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and the meaning of Kamara’s name 01:39 Meet Kamara: princess, athlete, artist 09:12 A mysterious soul connection with Savion 10:41 Kamara’s urgent trip back to Nigeria 15:40 The day of the accident 27:49 “Her soul knew” and graduating Earth School 29:44 Savion’s passing four weeks earlier 33:36 The playlist and the force field screenshot 35:50 Moon and Interstellar synchronicities 43:10 The memory book that appeared on the dresser 48:36 Kamara visits her little brother 52:36 Why Erika started Sunflower Mamas 57:05 Erika’s biggest aha moment 1:00:12 “Are we going to join in the joyful work?” #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #GriefJourney #SignsFromHeaven #SunflowerMamas #ChildLoss #SpiritualAwakening #AfterlifeSigns

    What If You Could? Anniston Riekstins on Soul Contracts, Fear & Coming Home to Yourself (ep 16)

    There's a version of you that's been waiting — patiently, quietly — underneath everything you thought you had to be. Anniston Riekstins helps women find her. In this episode, Anniston (master numerologist, author, and soul contract expert) shares how she went from silencing herself to belong, to becoming a woman who reads the sacred blueprint hidden in people's names and birthdates. We talk about the wounds we carry from childhood, why grief is a doorway rather than a detour, and how the very thing you were most afraid of might be the thing you're here to do. This one held so much for me. If you've ever wondered whether you're behind in life, whether your detours meant something — this conversation is your reminder that you are exactly on time. 🌙 Connect with Anniston: https://www.annistonriekstins.com/ Insta: @annistonblairriekstins Facebook: Anniston Blair Riekstins #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #unlockgold #soulpurpose

    The Hollywood Movie Producer Who Talks to His Wife on the Other Side | Stephen Simon ♡ (ep 15)

    Stephen Simon spent his career in Hollywood making films that entertained millions — Somewhere in Time, What Dreams May Come, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. He didn't know his art was preparing him for his own life, with an epic love story that transcends death. In this episode, Stephen shares the extraordinary true story of meeting his wife Lauren across a crowded theater in Portland — a moment they both instantly recognized as fate — and the devastating loss of her in 2018. He opens up about the grief that brought him to his knees, and the moment 37 days later when he heard her voice, not with his ears but with his heart, guiding him to a song that changed everything. We talk about the book he co-wrote with Lauren from beyond the veil, the community of people quietly living this same experience, and why he believes the wall between this world and the next is thinning for all of us. Stephen also reflects on what it means to hold both faith and doubt at once, and why "certainty is the enemy of tolerance." This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt a sign from someone they've lost — and wondered if they were imagining it. You're not. 💙 Purchase Stephen's book, What Dreams Have Come on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00puOsg7 Visit Stephen's website at: https://www.ablepages.com/whatdreamshavecome Love after Life Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19cFdyThDx/ #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #SignsFromAbove #GriefJourney #LifeAfterLoss #LLM

    Blake the Stigma: A Mother's Fight to Talk About Suicide | Desiree Darago (ep 14)

    On this episode of AHA Podcast, I sit down with Desiree Darago, whose 18-year-old son Blake — a football star known for his "full contact" energy and his big, generous heart — died by suicide in 2024. Desiree opens up about the mother's intuition that told her something was wrong before she got the call, the last ordinary afternoon she spent with Blake, and the school that refused to let his classmates grieve openly. She shares how that silence became the spark for Blake the Stigma, the foundation she built to break the taboo around suicide and mental health — from awareness events to a grief support group she started because she needed one herself. We talk about surviving the unthinkable, the hawks that show up when she needs Blake most, and why talking about the ones we've lost is one of the most healing things we can do. 💙 Learn more or support Blake the Stigma at blakethestigma.com Connect with Des: Instagram: @desireekaren46 Facebook: Desiree Pauley TikTok: JustDez @desireekaren81 #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #blakethestigma #LLM

    The Choice Is Always Ours: Dr. Erin Hudson on Turning Pain Into Purpose (ep 13)

    In this episode of the AHA Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Erin Hudson — chiropractor turned multifamily real estate powerhouse, mom of five, grandma, and a woman who has survived more betrayal and heartbreak than most people could imagine. Erin takes us back to her childhood, where a small moment with her mom planted a seed that would shape her entire life's mission. From there, she shares the wild ride of building 26 single-family rentals, reinventing herself at 40, and jumping into multifamily real estate — only to be defrauded by her very first business partners, threatened by a hired hitman during her divorce, and blindsided by a fraudulent title company that cost her $125,000. We also go deep into her divorce story: the secret alcoholism, the gaslighting, the deed swapped out from under her at closing — and the DUI that finally gave her the clarity to walk away for good. Through it all, Erin comes back to one core belief: when things happen to us, we can either be the victim or the victor, and the choice is always ours. This conversation is raw, funny, faith-filled, and packed with hard-won wisdom about resilience, discernment, and finding the good even in your darkest seasons. In this episode: Erin's childhood and the moment that planted her entrepreneurial seedReinventing her career and moving into multifamily real estate at 40Being defrauded by her first business partners — and the phone call that saved her familySurviving a devastating divorce, betrayal, and a life-altering 24 hoursFive family health crises in five months — and finding meaning in the chaosLaunching Aligned Multifamily Network to help others build wealth and legacy Connect with Erin: @erin_hudson_7 on Instagram Facebook: Erin Hudson Phone: (949) 510-3351 💙🌙 #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #mindset #LLM

    The Gift That Opened Through Grief: A Conversation with Medium Shelly Wheeler-Cox (ep 12)

    In this episode, I sit down with Shelly Wheeler-Cox, a gifted medium whose own life has been shaped by profound loss — and by a gift that opened wide open because of it. Shelly shares the moment as a teenager when she first saw someone from the other side, the experience years later that "pierced her veil" for good, and the incredible specificity of the messages she now receives — from teddy bears left on graves to knowing the exact hour a loved one would pass. This conversation is deeply personal for me. Shelly was the medium who gave me my first real reading after my daughter McKel's passing, at a bereaved mothers' retreat when I wasn't sure I believed any of this was real. She connected with McKel so clearly that day, and this episode is our first time sharing that story together. We talk about soul contracts and exit points, what it actually feels like on the other side (hint: euphoric, overwhelming love), how to tell the difference between your own thoughts and a message coming through, and why grief doesn't have to mean the end of connection. If you've ever wondered whether the people you love are still with you — this one's for you. 🔗 Connect with Shelly: Shelly Beck- Cox (Facebook) 🔗 Instagram: @lipstickissesshelly 🔗 TikTok: shellybeckcox 🔗 website: https://spiritualinsightmedium.com/ #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #LLM #griefjourney

    They're Still Here: Simone Devenny on Rex, McKel & the Signs That Connect Us (ep 11)

    In this episode of AHA Podcast, I sit down with Simone Devenny — a mother, like me, who knows the club no one wants to join. Simone's son Rex crossed over a little over three years ago, and the story of how she and I found each other is a sign in itself: shared dates, shared symbols, and a connection neither of us can call coincidence. 💙 We talk about the undeniable, electrifying signs our kids have given us — flickering lights, chandeliers with minds of their own, a hardtop car mysteriously open on Father's Day — and why these moments show up most in the immediate wake of loss. We dig into what it means to believe our children left exactly when they were meant to, having fulfilled everything they came here to do. And we talk about the gift hidden inside the grief: the people we meet, the peace we find, and the way our kids keep teaching us from the other side. This conversation is for anyone who has felt a flicker, a whisper, a sign — and wondered if it was real. It was. 🌙 You can find Simone on Instagram: @simonedev #AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #nocoincidences #signsthatconnectus
