The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Today I dive (deep) into 'the rabbit hole' ... I let you into my mind to explore why (& how) I use Oracle cards! Yep -- I said it - Oracle Cards!!! Many people refer to crystals, Reiki, tarot, oracle ... or really anything in the metaphysical, alternative based thinking or practices as "woo-woo". I personally have always been a science and fact seeking person so it may seem strange that I can reside so comfortably in what I call "Wooville", but I do. Come along and I will give you a glimpse as to (just one reason) why!
Many people perceive Oracle (& Tarot) as a fortune teller-y type of 'thing' ... I was one of those people once too. They are NOT that at all that. They ARE tools of divination used (by anyone) to help show us what we already know deep down ... they are a tool for our subconscious and help us to 'dig deeper' (you know, to get out of our logical minds way if you will!) and you know if you listen to me at all that I am big on all of these concepts that lend themselves to forward thinking and the power of the subconscious mind in our healing-and- thriving-alongside-grief journey! I am glad you joined me today!!
As with everything you hear on my podcasts, please take that which serves you & leave the rest. I hope you will find something of value & I am so sorry that you need to be here, but so honored you are here. Talk soon!
Because I said I would ...
Here is the LINK to the Alice in Wonderland Oracle that I referenced today on Amazon
PLUS .... the Sacred Rebels Deck
AND ... the Queen of the Moon Oracle
They type of decks are endless. Let me know if you have any questions ... or would like an intuitive card pull from me! :)

Brenda's Brutal Reality of Child Loss by Suicide; Delayed Grief & Finding Her New Self

In this conversation Brenda & I y=talk about the loss of her 22 year old son to suicide in 2012. And while Brenda, her family & loved ones were grieving it wouldn't be until Feb of 2017 when Chase would actually be found and their reality confirmed. This is a raw, real conversation that I think so much can be gained from. I hope you will gain as much as I did from it!
CAUTION: Sensitive subject & details that if you are too early in loss might be more than you need or want right now.
Brenda welcomes anyone who would like to reach out via email to chat at [email protected]

Joey Somebody; Sibling Loss, Vulnerability and the Male Ego

Today I am sharing a very important conversation. I recently spoke with Joey Dumont, a self-professed 'recovering egoist' who took a year off to write a book about his life, his loss & 'recovery' that turned into three and has now sent him down a new path of (comedic) enlightenment with a heart for helping others. Joey lost his younger brother to suicide in April 2007 and spent the next year basically hiding, or perhaps running, from the grief, the PTSD and more. Sibling loss is complicated and as we know, loss by suicide even more so. It truly was a joy to talk with him. I hope you will take something from it as well!
ALL THINGS Joey Dumont can be found here... his book ("Joey Somebody"), his podcast ("Laugh Your Cry Out") and his coaching! I encourage you to check him out! I cannot wait to listen to his podcast and read his book. Again HERE is the LINK go check him out!
