Recent Episodes from The Beautiful Side of Grief

116. Passports and Parasites! Vashti Kanahele

In this episode of The Beautiful Side of Grief we are exploring war-torn Bagdad to the sunny caribbean, and many countries in between through the eyes of a diplomat's wife, who had to struggle with infertility, pregnancy loss, parental loss, and fast exits - all the while re-adapting to strange new lands, & dealing with a complex chronic condition. Yep, that sounds a pretty heavy load - though in the midst of this, Vashti Kanahele also discovered fabulous new cultures, places off the beaten track, and a resilience and strength to take control of her health. Vashti takes us into this world that she rediscovered through the writing of her book Passports and Parasites.

We discuss...

the value of community when living far away from family and loved ones
having serious health concerns in foreign countries
how life can take it's toll without you realising
and finding your way through chronic conditions back to health through fnctional medicine

This is a fabulous episode that you won't want to miss!

Vashti's Bio

My life story encompasses adventure, living abroad, resilience, and healing from complex chronic illness. Listeners who love or are interested in adventure, international living, and travel would find my interview interesting. My story also speaks to those looking for hope in their fertility journey and healing from complex chronic illnesses, specifically Lyme disease and Hashimoto's, and my journey to functional medicine. Listeners interested in diplomatic life will find my story appealing since I have spent the last 15 years married to a diplomat.

115. A Purpose, Lesson, & Reason for EVERYTHING | June Edward

What would it mean to you to know that you are always right where you are supposed to be?

That nothing is ever done "to you", it's being done "for you", and to understand why we have to lose our precious loved ones... and how we can grow from that to live a full loving life - well, that's just the tip of what we are exploring with my guest, Psychic Medium- Speaker, Teacher, & Bestselling Author and Relationship Expert, June Edward.

June has been dealing with the unseen since childhood though it took an NDE at the tender age of 27 which allowed her to experience first-hand the other side - and believe it or not, she chose to come back. Following that experience, her exceptional mediumship skills exploded. She was dubbed The Massachusetts Medium, regularly selling out group-sessions.

June is particularly skilled in working with Angels, guides and departed souls, to give closure and help loved ones heal on both sides. In addition, she helps us understand and appreciate what our journeys are all about so we can truly embrace this life we have - or change it up. We also talk about her latest book - Alls Fair in Love and Karma - 5 Steps to Relationship Mastery, and get to the bottom of the 5 things we need to master i our relationships.. And why we can attract the same ole deadbeats into our lives!

This is a conversation that you're not going to want to miss!

June's Bio

June Edward has been psychic since a child; however she didn’t realize she was also a medium until later in life. Some of her gifts have been passed on, since her mother was also a medium. She also passed to the other side herself when she was 27 years old, and came back to this side by choice. She can offer firsthand experience that Life after Life does exist! She has a 100% success rate in bringing through souls from the other side, to give closure and help loved ones heal on both sides. Her sold out group readings can help give insight as to what’s going on in your life, and help to see what the Universe has in store. June’s special gifts include working directly with the Angels, Guides and departed Souls. Combined these tools have made her a very strong and accurate psychic and trance medium, able to bring through validating details to prove the connection and messages from the other side. June believes that her job as a psychic medium is not only to help those connect with their loved ones, and heal both sides, but to help encourage others to embrace this life, and be thankful for all the gifts they receive in their life every day!

113. From WARRIOR to AWAKENING | John Lawyer

War does something to a person, not only emotionally, also physiologically. For starters, it rewires your brain to dampen emotional responses to what is being experienced, to exist in a hyper state of alertness and awareness, and to cope with altered sleep patterns. It can also become very addicted to emotionally charged situations, where uncertainty exists. No wonder veterans can have a tough time readjusting to life outside, making sense of the trauma they've experienced, and simply adapting to living day to day without having to be in a constant state of alertness.

My guest, John Lawyer, has gone from being a soldier and contractor in counter intelligence over 15 years, to an Awakening. That is a HUGE shift for anyone to make! So I'm excited to explore with him just what prompted that and then the journey from having his brain rewired through many years of being a warrior in war situations... to then having to undo that and find his way to a place of peace, calm and purpose through becoming a spiritualist and universalist. He describes it as coming out the other side of the swamp of sadness. John is now commited to merging this spiritual path into everyday life. So join us to hear his incredible story

John's Bio

From desert combat zones to a battle within, John Lawyer transformed from soldier to spiritual seeker. He acts as one of several guides for Kishar, a non-profit online spiritual community for people to share their journey and explore their own unique spiritual path. John is an Omnist and believes in the validity of great human thought from around the world and across time. He offers individual spiritual coaching and guidance services as part of the Kishar Spiritual Community.

112. My Mother's DEATH was My REBIRTH | Nichole Lee

Is your mum your best friend?

What would you do if she died?

Would your life continue to have the same meaning or would you feel like you were suddenly set adrift?

The later is what happened to Nichole Lee in 2018 when she lost her mum to cancer....

Nichole has trained in so many modalities since the death of her best friend and mum, and that helped her to transition from a highly 'successful' corporate job in change management into her hearts passion of helping others discover who they are amongst all the pain and heartache to gain harmony, expand in that joy and reconnect to yourself.

What I most love about today's conversation with Nichole, who is a trauma-informed healer, intuitive guide, and transformational life coach (plus many other modalities!), is that we really get to explore how our grief experience can be the catalyst for understanding just what magnificent creatures we are and that we all have the power to heal from within. It's recognising what your body and emotions are telling you through this experience and then exploring them more.

We dive into .... the mini roadblocks we create within when we suppress our emotions, the Emotion Code and Body Code modalities, a love of mine - HeartMath, and so much more. If you are feeling the winds of change within, then this is a must-listen to episode for you! 🧡

Biography

Nichole is a trauma-informed healer, intuitive guide, and transformational life coach. She specializes in guiding individuals who are experiencing significant life transitions, feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed into rediscovering who they are, healing from past pain, and charting a fulfilling new path for their life. Before dedicating her life to healing and personal transformation, Nichole spent two decades as a Business Management Consulting Leader & Executive Coach, driving large-scale change initiatives for Fortune 500 companies. Nichole holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Instructional Design. She is certified in multiple disciplines, including life coaching, health coaching, spiritual coaching, energy healing (reiki, emotion code, body code), meditation and mindfulness, and as a trauma-sensitive heartmath practitioner.

110. What WILLIAM would want | Nick Shaw

How does a grieving, introverted dad cope with the loss of his 9 year old son after a magical day of skiing? He goes within - deep within. And from that emerges an incredibly insightful, compassionate book that tackles the complexies of child loss head on. Nick Shaw has written a book that is open. Is vulnerable. Is honest. Is beautiful. It's a journey to finding peace within, living in the present moment, and recognising the value of support and community. It also addresses the courage required to add another child into the family dynamic, without that child serving as a replacement.

This is a wonderful and inspiring conversation that I have with Nick, about the loss of his son William, navigating the nuances of child loss, and writing beautiful poetry. He draws on his expertise as an accomplished executive coach, to help you think about how you accept and honour child loss...or any loss for that matter.

Through much reflection and soul-searching, Nick has realized a need to help others find ways of living more intentional and meaningful lives.

Nick is the Co-founder of Mirrorbox Leadership Lab, an Executive Coaching and Leadership Development consulting firm. Utilizing an individuals real life experiences, Mirrorbox’s goal is to help senior level leaders and teams bring about meaningful change in service of their personal and organizational growth.

With the 2023 release of his debut book, My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love, Nick invited readers to embark on an introspective journey of their own. Through a compelling narrative about his experience losing his son, William, at just nine years old, Nick’s book stretches the boundaries of the memoir form to teach and inspire its readers and to help them through their own complex emotions and experiences. In the pages of My Teacher, My Son, Nick offers a thought-provoking and supportive guide that urges individuals to examine their lives with honesty and self-compassion. Through poignant anecdotes, Nick encourages readers to reevaluate their choices and embrace a more fulfilling and purposeful existence.

As of the publication of My Teacher, My Son, Nick lives in Carlisle, Massachusetts, with his wife, Susan, and his sons Kai (11) and Bodhi (3). His eldest son, William, is buried in Green Cemetery in Carlisle, a place where the family often spends time together and finds peace. Nick and his family enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding.

In this episode, Nick shares:

109. Delivering a MIRACLE! | Julia Marie

My guest, Julia Marie, was just like you and me, until life took an unexpected turn. She had a STE - a Spriritual Transforming Event, that took her away from conventional life and the military to communicating with the spirit world in fascinating ways. And she shares that everyone has these skills, if we choose to tap into them.

Losing her brother at a young age opened Julia to awareness around not ignoring her intuition and that when we are more than our physical bodies. Years later, not feeling a fit with the life she was living led her to the awakening of her skills and a profound experience of mediumship with her brother.

We have a fascinating conversation that explores how Julia was influenced by brother's death, found a life of spirituality to eventually become a conduit for healing and messages from Ascended Masters.

Julia's Bio

Julia Marie was just like you, until a series of Spiritually Transformative Events (STEs) changed everything.

Her greatest honor is to provide messages of healing, hope and encouragement from those living on the other side of Life to their loved ones still here. She's served Spirit as a medium for almost 15 years.

Julia Marie provides spiritual consultations to a global clientele, and looks forward to bringing her grounded, practical approach to spirituality to your audience. Her website is www.JuliaMarie.us, and her podcast can be found at www.EvolvingHumansPodcast.com.
