Ep. 83 Grief: What’s Your Story? (Part 2)

5/15/2024
Send us a Text Message. The journey of grief, loss, and personal growth is deeply individual and often marked by profound experiences. Ashmeeta's story is a poignant example, having lost both her parents and unexpectedly in 2019, her husband at a young age. As an expat living in the USA, she understands how grief can create additional stressors around cultural identity and isolation, adding layers of complexity to the healing process. Yet with an abundance of resilience and raw vulnerability, Ashmeeta shares how she learned to embrace her most difficult losses (her mother and husband) and offers a masterclass to help anyone discover their own resilience and find hope in this two-part interview series. While much of the discussion focuses on spousal loss, all of what we talk about offers a powerful and impactful discourse to help anyone navigate their grief journey from any form of loss, which is always filled with sorrow and change and embrace their new reality. In the second part, we delve into the concept of fear, discovering ways to reframe it positively. We also discuss preparing for the unexpected, the importance of self-talk and self-love, the healing aspects of forgiveness and gratitude, and how mindfulness and self-reflection can guide you towards progress during times of grief.

Ep. 79 Self Responsibility: Navigating Life's Sacred Call

4/17/2024
Send us a Text Message. In this Divine Healing Coaching episode, learn all about the first of the 5 Divine Healing principles that were channelled to me by the angels, and my daughter Janaya, after her suicide in 2005 and over a five-year period, as I wrote my first book “Divine Healing Transforming Pain into Personal Power”. The first principle speaks to the importance of honouring the sacredness of your life as you learn more and more how to accept responsibility for all of your life experiences. Both good and bad. Part of my mission on this planet is to help change the consciousness of those who are suffering or have suffered and want to find a meaningful, purpose-driven life. And just as I had to rethink all of my spiritual beliefs after the loss of Janaya that I had believed in for 23 years at the time of her passing, many people feel they must question their faith and beliefs after loss, tragedy or difficult adversity. Nineteen years later, I still stand by these 5 principles that are designed to help anyone find a meaningful and purpose-driven life, based on the tools, practices and messaging contained within each one, as those that have guided me to the healing and perfection I’ve found in my life to this point. All of which by practicing them in your own life, you can, too. TIMESTAMP: Welcome (0:00) Healing from loss and trauma through self-responsibility and Eastern philosophy.

Send us a Text Message. Welcome to Soul Sisters! A 9-part series on the Grief Talk Podcast, where with my real-life sister Brenda, we offer thought-driven and inspiring topics for your soul! Coming from totally opposite experiences and wildly different personalities, as Authors and Angel Healing Practitioners, in every episode enjoy our robust conversation where we share how we survived extreme childhood trauma, the suicide of Vonne’s daughter in July 2005 and multiple disabilities that Brenda endured after a Fibromyalgia diagnosis in 1994. Events that challenged the will of both sisters to live. In Part 1, we share how the church influenced our lives, and how our introduction to spirituality guided us to withstand the tragedy and disabilities that we would ultimately triumph over, to celebrate and honour our lives today with joy, peace and love in our hearts.
