  • EP - 25 Grief and Spirituality
    2025/04/08

    Today's guest is Jessica Harrison, co-founder of J D Therapies here in Warwickshire. Jessica also works in the wellness industry, so it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed.

    Get ready to delve into the fascinating world of past life regression, soul contracts, and reincarnation as Jessica guides us through her expertise. Her fascinating belief about life and death helped her to come to terms with the sudden death of her brother.

    Reflecting on her spiritual journey, Jessica shares, “I've always been spiritually minded ever since I was a young girl, I was always fascinated with Astrology growing up. My journey into Holistic therapies has been an ongoing unwinding path for many years.”

  • Ep 24 - Turning Pain Into Purpose After Child Loss
    2025/03/23

    My guest today is Rachel Ollerenshaw whose daughter Molly died from cancer at the tender age of 8.


    Losing a child is an unimaginable and heartbreaking experience that no parent should ever have to go through. It can leave emotional scars that may never fully heal, impacting every aspect of a person's life.


    Despite facing such a devastating loss, Rachel alongside her Husband Tim, found the strength to establish a charity in honour of their daughter Molly.

    This charity, known as Molly Olly’s, serves as a beacon of hope and support for other families going through similar hardships.


    We all find our own ways to deal with grief and Rachel has found her way through her amazing charity www.Mollyollys.co.uk

    This charity not only keeps Molly’s memory alive – it helps thousands of other families going through the darkest days of their lives.


    Molly Olly’s is a small charity but if you can afford to donate, you will be supporting a charity very close to my heart.

  • Ep 23 - Helen's Song
    2025/03/10

    Today, I am honoured to introduce my guest, Andy Smith, who is currently navigating the difficult journey of grieving the loss of his beloved wife, Helen, who tragically died from cancer.


    In August, Andy's grief will mark its sixth year, and throughout this time, he has gained valuable insights and wisdom that can potentially help people who are newly bereaved, or for others who feel stuck in their grief.


    Andy eloquently describes grief as an entity that occupies the space once filled by his wife, and he has learned to embrace it with tenderness and understanding. He has reached a point where he feels empowered to manage his grief, rather than allowing it to dictate his emotions and actions. He explains, "I control grief - it doesn't control me".


    Throughout his grieving process, Andy has found unwavering support from his friends and family, especially his grandchildren, who he believes carry on Helen's spirit. They frequently reminisce about Helen, keeping her memory alive and present in their lives.


    When faced with the task of rebuilding his life without Helen, Andy acknowledges the difficult choice he had to make, knowing that his wife did not have the same opportunity. His resilience and strength in the face of adversity serve as an inspiration to all who listen to his story.


    I highly recommend tuning in to this episode, as Andy's words are sure to resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or is seeking guidance on their own journey of healing.

    It certainly inspired and helped me!
