    I really loved the last episode about why we are really here. What he said about Karma really spoke to my soul and so much about what I was already feeling about my experience in this Earth school. Thank you! 🩵

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Microdosing for Grief: Heal and Reconnect with Your Loved Ones | Kayse Gehret | EP 482
Q: How would someone know if they're ready to explore microdosing in the context of grief?
Readiness involves education, building a foundation of healing practices, and assessing whether one can tolerate deeper emotional experiences; if not, start with lifestyle modalities and return when ready to engage with the medicine.
Microdosing for Grief: Heal and Reconnect with Your Loved Ones | Kayse Gehret | EP 482
Q: What is Microdosing, and how does it differ from a macrodose experience like ayahuasca?
Microdosing involves small, sub-threshold doses that are gentle and integrated into daily life, contrasting with high-dose journeys that are often transformative but riskier; microdosing is framed as a foundation-building practice rather than a one-off ceremony.
Microdosing for Grief: Heal and Reconnect with Your Loved Ones | Kayse Gehret | EP 482
Q: But tell me, how did you get started in Microdosing?
Kayse describes an unexpected path: a lifelong interest in health and healing, early exposure to alternative modalities, a move to California to study them, and a personal healing journey including a grand mal seizure that shaped her cautious, informed approach to microdosing.
Born a Medium: How Fara Gibson Uses Mediumship and Grief Healing to Prove Love Never Dies | EP
Q: Why do you work with Helping Parents Heal and what makes this work meaningful to you?
She is driven by a deep desire to heal the world, finds value in a community that supports living with grief while honoring the memory of loved ones, and believes in providing practical pathways to connect with those in heaven beyond mere consolation.
He Died for 3 Hours — The Near Death Experience Transformation That Changed Everything | Jonathan Ashford | EP 478
Q: What message would you give to listeners who are grieving right now?
You are loved more deeply than you can imagine; acknowledge the benevolent presence around you, open your heart rather than your ego, and allow gratitude and compassion to guide your healing process.
