Thanks for listening over this last 12 months - I'm taking a break to finish off my new book. So I look forward to Returning with you again soon when season 4 starts!

In this profound episode titled “Finding the Gift in Grief,” I had the privilege of speaking with Danette May, whose journey through life’s extremes embodies themes of loss, resilience, spiritual connection, and the evolution of the self. Danette, a beacon of positivity with a compelling story, shared her deeply personal experiences with me, taking me from her idyllic childhood close to nature and animals to the heart-wrenching loss of her son, which profoundly transformed her life and purpose.

Danette recounted the intimate connection she has always felt with the world beyond the physical, a sentiment that has been deeply rooted in her since childhood. She shared vivid memories of her upbringing on a mini-farm, her early awareness of a calling to connect people with nature, and a profound sense of being known and loved by a higher power. Her narrative is a testament to the strength and guidance she has drawn from these connections, especially during the darkest times of her life.

In this heartfelt exchange, I had the privilege of conversing with Harnaam Kaur, a beacon of light in the realms of modeling, motivational speaking, and anti-bullying activism. Harnaam graciously shared her voyage towards self-love and empowerment amidst the challenges of living with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). She illuminated the path that led her to become a motivational speaker, underscoring the pivotal role of personal development and mental health in her life.

Harnaam bravely opened up about her encounters with bullying, revealing how she stood up to her bullies with grace and strength. She offered wisdom on navigating the tumultuous waters of online negativity, emphasising the art of choosing battles with discernment.

Our conversation delved into the sanctity of her daily routines with her beloved dogs, and her journey into the realms of spirituality and religion. Harnaam spoke of religion’s imprint on her childhood and her courageous questioning of religious norms. Despite her quiet and reserved nature, she draws inspiration from the world around her, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and meaningful self-dialogue.

Harnaam’s experiences with the spirit realm are profound—encounters with the souls of those passed and out-of-body experiences mark her spiritual journey, continuing to shape her understanding and connection with the universe.

We wrapped our exchange with a Soul Inquiry prompt, inviting reflection on embodying the leadership qualities we seek in others—a fitting close to our soul-stirring dialogue.
