Soaring Spirits International: www.soaringspirits.org

Some of the things we discuss are:

• The process of writing Different After You
• What’s the first thing you tell a newly widowed person — or someone who has very recently endured a traumatic experience?
• How soon after a life-altering loss or trauma should someone read Different After You?
• “Integration” is a core part of Different After You. We discuss what integration is why it's important.
• How connecting with a community of others who are going through profound loss helps someone.

You've been listening. You're doing the work. But there's still this feeling that you're circling the same place.

Maybe you've thought about working with me one-on-one. Maybe something's held you back. 

I get that. And I want you to know there's still a place for you.

All of it, pay what you want. You decide what it's worth. Nobody gets turned away because of money.
