In this MUM episode, Spiritual Medium Jaime Breeze shares how relationships with pets transcend physical life and can continue through reincarnation. Jaime sheds light on how she communicates with animals on the other side, providing comfort to those who are grieving their animal companions, and emphasized the importance of acknowledging grief, encouraging individuals to honor their feelings and the memory of their pets through rituals and journaling.
About Jaime Breeze:
Born with an inner sense of ‘knowing’, Jaime was aware of the Spirit World from a very young age. At 3 years old, she began speaking openly about her past lives and about ‘others’ around her that nobody else could see. By the age of 16, Jaime had begun working with Spiritual Healers that taught her how to develop her natural gifts, harness her insights, and learn different healing modalities. Over the years, Jaime’s fascination with Heaven, reincarnation, and with those who have crossed over, along with her training, has allowed her skills to flourish.
In early 2016 however, Jaime suffered a great loss and battled with her first true experience of grief. After seeking guidance from grief counsellors and therapists, Jaime began to understand that navigating her grief would truly test her in ways she had never been tested before. There were no books to read, exercises to complete or steps to follow in order to help make the pain go away. Even the personal knowledge of life after death still did not bring her the healing or peace she so desperately needed.
Months later while visiting with a friend, an image of a young man who we will call “Luke” appeared out of nowhere in front of her. Luke psychically communicated to Jaime who he was, how he passed and that he needed to deliver a message to his sister who was still on earth. Jaime couldn’t deny what was happening so she quickly started telling her friend all about it. Her friend listened intently to what Jaime was relaying from this Spirit. To Jaime’s surprise, her friend knew exactly who Luke was and was actually friends with Luke’s sister who lived on the other side of the country! Jaime’s friend quickly delivered this sacred message to Luke’s sister whom had longed for some sign from her brother since the day he had passed. Reassured by his efforts to contact her, she now knew that although his physical form had moved on, he would always be there for her in spirit.
Until this point in her life, Jaime had never experienced such a strong connection to a spirit. The energy Luke showed her, the love he had for his sister, and his concern for her was unfathomable. Not only did Luke find a portal of sorts to connect with his sister, he also gave Jaime back her hope and excitement for life again. It was during that moment that other spirits began appearing and Jaime realized she was to be a Spiritual Medium on a professional level. She knew that the time had come to embrace her gift and help both herself and others to communicate with those who had passed. Mediumship brought back a zest for life for Jaime. She now knew she needed to experience and understand what ultimate grief was before the doors to the other side could fully open. She understood now that her past experiences of lost love combined with her true understanding of grief and all its many intricacies gave her the life the purpose, she had long desired. Her intention, her goal, was now clear. Through the deliverance of messages and signs from those departed, she would use her skills to help people feel joy and purpose in their lives again and bring an element of peace and comfort to those souls left on earth to grieve.

“As someone even on the journey, and I know there are many people who may hear this transmission who really feel like this aligns with them, but there's a piece that I have around knowing Jaxon. His essence, his frequency, and his beautiful soul are always present there, no matter what his physical experience is going to be. And that I know, whatever direction we go, whatever decision my sister and my brother-in-law make about what's best for their families is the right path. And we're on Jaxon's path.”
Samantha Williams (she/her) is a Reiki Master and Certified Channel with a profound calling to provide companionship and advocacy to both special needs children and their families, inspired by her personal journey with her nephew. As a compassionate witness and guide, she integrates energy healing and spiritual mentorship–supported by rituals for physical, emotional, and spiritual self-care–to nurture both the individuals and the family unit and foster compassionate communication through a network of support that creates space to celebrate each child’s unique gifts and journey.
In this podcast episode, Sam shares about her family’s grief surrounding her three-year-old nephew Jaxon’s impending hemispherectomy and the journey she has been on while supporting her sister Morgan and brother-in-law Ben through Jaxon’s developmental challenges.
This was a heartfelt and timely conversation centered around compassionate support while navigating complex emotions and decisions as a family. And Sam shares an important key piece – that it truly takes a constellation of care to be able to support everyone involved and to honor the needs and the breaking points of each individual.

"I think it's important as an elder queer person and I wear that very proudly, that I do think our stories are important because I didn't come from a place that where we had these tools. So as an elder queer person, it's also not too f*****g late for me to honor it now, right? And to go living this next however long on this plane as my authentic self, including name. And to just do that because I understand the healing frequencies that it sends back. That sends healing back to those that couldn't. And it models for generations to come."
TanyaMarck Oviedo (they/them) is a two spirit, nonbinary, queer, native indigenous person of color and has been in recovery since 1989. They are the founder of Vamonos, a care and harm reduction practice that specializes in working with and supporting: people at the margin, 2SLGBTQ+, substance overuse/misuse, facilitator abuse, psychedelics in recovery, integration support + safety, and breathwork + movement.

"If we can be with aging, we can also be with death. Right. Like, they go hand in hand. I feel like aging and death are sisters. They're sisters. One moves slow and one moves fast, but they walk on the same path."
In this episode, Xochitl Kusikuy Ashe – a 5th generation Peruvian medicine woman and Ellen's mentor – shares about her relationship with death and how it has been a teacher in her life.
Xochitl describes death as having sisters, which symbolize different aspects or ways in which death can occur. These sisters are metaphorical representations that help us understand death from various perspectives – the Sister of Aging, Sister of Illness, the Sister of Accidents, the Sister of Evil, the Sister of Suicide.
And just as there are sisters of Death, so are there sisters of Life. These sisters are associated with support and embrace for death. They may represent the transformative power of death and the growth that can arise from experiencing loss.
About Xochitl
Xochitl Kusikuy Ashe has been a teacher and guide in one-and-one mentorships, workshops, and ceremonies both in the U.S and internationally for the last 27 years. At 16 years old she became the first female of five generations of men to be initiated into the healing traditions of her Peruvian ancestral lineage. She is a Medicine Woman in the Peruvian Andean tradition and has worked with sacred plant medicines since the time of her initiation. For the past 23 years she apprenticed under her Godfather, a Mazatec Medicine Man of the ancient tradition of healing with the "Nti-si tho" "Santitos" or Psilocybin mushrooms.
She is a professionally trained herbalist, IFS Therapy Practitioner (Internal Family Systems) and specializes in the ceremonial use of Cacao and Psilocybin Mushrooms. In her practice, Xochitl focuses on the healing of generational trauma and the ways in which that trauma impairs our ability to thrive, create wealth, and have a positive impact on the world.
Founder of Magical Medicine Journeys, an Indigenous women owned retreat company, that offers legal Mazatec Psilocybin Mushroom Retreats in Mexico. Xochitl’s mission is to honor the traditional indigenous knowledge and ceremony of sacred plant medicine and provide the most authentic and powerful life changing experiences.
She is faculty at Esalen Institute, The Microdosing Institute and the Shift Network.

“Suddenly I just didn't know who I was without that anymore. It was a real unmooring. But I think that I felt completely untethered to this world. I had nothing holding me here anymore, and that was really weird. I did not expect that. I think I expected to be sad about my dad being gone, but I don't think I expected—I literally do not know who I am anymore, and I don't know what my attachment is to life because I've lost so much of my context that I didn't even know was that big of my context.”
Karen Shih is a fellow first-generation Taiwanese American death doula (in the making), a triple Gemini, and a deeply devoted dog auntie.
In this episode, Karen shares about the death of her father, which led to her stepping out of her career to honor her grief.
Karen shares, “After my dad died unexpectedly in October of 2015, I completely hit pause on my life (which is a huge privilege on a variety on levels that I think most people can't do or maybe wouldn't even choose to do if they could). I quit my job, watched a lot of Grey's Anatomy, traveled to Taiwan, and eventually left New York and my life there behind. It felt like I stripped my life and identity down to nothing and had to start from scratch. The next 7+ years felt like a slow incubation as I navigated my inner jungle and surfaced a path and myself choice by choice.”

In this MUM episode, life coach Yvonne Chung shares about her experience with major decision-making alongside uncertainty and fear, the impact of living beyond complacency, and waking up through the death portal.
About Yvonne Chung:
Yvonne is a Korean-American child of immigrants whose work lies at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science--the research and the woo. She is a certified coach, self-love mentor, Human Design guide, and dream architect, here to help as many people as she can live fearlessly so they can die without regrets.
Her life has been a series of deaths and rebirths that ultimately led her deeper and deeper into her life's purpose.
In 2017, she quit her corporate job and abandoned the identity and life she was told to have in order to travel the world and discover her own path of purpose and meaning.In 2019, she answered the call of her Soul's Work and began her journey as a coach and guide. In 2021, at 32 years old, she came face to face with her own mortality, catapulting her deeper into her life's purpose.
And in 2023, she left a 7-year relationship and engagement, uprooted her life, and set out on a new life path in Mexico. Over the course of her life, she has had to make choices to leave one life in order to step into another. Life has taught her how to trust the death process and has shown her how deaths (in their many forms) can be initiations and portals toward a more expanded life. Now, her mission is to help as many people discover what it means to really live so they can get to their deathbeds with as few regrets as possible.
