  • On the first episode of season 3 I speak with holistic health healer, Amber Doyle of Amber Moon Holistic.


    We speak about her journey into holistic health healing, and how the sudden loss of her Dad when she was only 6 years old shaped her life. Her passion and knowledge on the work that she does is so illuminating, and this episode is part personal journey, part advice and healing information for whomever needs to hear it.


    Amber has also written a book that is launching this week. Repair, Not Repeat: How to Heal Your Heart and Release Unhealthy Cycles. Drawing on her personal experiences and practical wisdom, Doyle outlines a clear path to emotional growth. This book delves into healing from past wounds, breaking destructive cycles, and fostering a life rooted in love and abundance.

    The book will be available in bookstores nationwide and online retailers starting December 15, 2024. For more information and to pre-order, visit www.ambermoonholistic.com


    I am so excited to read it!

    On today’s episode I speak with Ciara O’Malley. Ciara tragically lost her partner of 10 years, David, in a drowning accident when they lived in Canada. She speaks with me today about how her grief took over her life in the time after she lost David. But how she now feels guided by both her grief and her partner in what she does in her everyday life.

     

    She harnessed her grief into writing and released a book in 2021, Miracles Appear When Loved Ones Are Near', a story about grief, empowerment and enlightenment, to help people seek their own inner strength in the harshest of times.

    He speaks with me today about the untimely death of his eldest sister Claire, how the combined grief within this family has brought them closer together, and how a little street in Wicklow town has connected them to their sister and daughter.

  • I believe that grief has the power to change your life forever.


    On todays episode I wanted to do something a little different.


    When we grieve, we look to anything that will bring us some hope, perspective, or peace. Trying to get answers to our questions – will I ever see them again? How will I live without them? What happens after we die? Will I ever feel happy again? 


    Throughout this podcast I want to speak with the people who deal with grief as their everyday profession. From death doulas to grief psychologists to spiritualists – speaking with the people who bring hope to the grieving.


    On todays episode I speak with psychic medium, Sandie Byrne. Sandie is an award winning psychic medium who has been developing her abilities since she was a child. She has helped people from across the globe in connecting with their loved ones who have passed on.
