What does it take to finally break free and begin the process of healing from trauma bonding to reclaim your power and truth? Guest Brooke Deanne, a Trauma Healing Mentor, Rapid Transformational Therapist, and Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner, joins us to share her raw and profound journey of overcoming religious cult indoctrination, a 17-year abusive marriage that perpetuated the pain of her past, and toxic relationships. Brooke, author of Shattered, Broken, and Beautiful: Losing my Religion and Finding Faith, and founder of the podcast Goddess Rising, discusses how her spiritual awakening was catalyzed by grief, her reliance on Shadow Work and holistic methods to uncover the root source of her pain, and her mission to empower women to restore their nervous systems and fully integrate mind, body, and spirit.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:The psychological impact of being raised in a religious cult and a narcissistic family dynamic, and how this environment creates a trauma bond with abusers.How an unexpected, profound grief event can act as a catalyst for a spiritual awakening and force a person to confront years of ignored pain and false beliefs.The significance of finding a partner who can provide a safe space and act as a mirror to reflect trauma-based reactions, enabling the beginning of deep internal healing work.Discovering the root cause of complex PTSD through the surfacing of a repressed memory, and the subsequent healing modalities used, including Shadow Work, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT/hypnosis), and psychedelic-assisted therapy.Why the nervous system keeps a “score” of trauma, and the holistic approach to retraining it to feel safe, release outdated patterns, and achieve mind-body-spirit integration.The belief that “pain is sacred” and serves as a necessary “fire” to sharpen a person, leading to growth, wisdom, and the ability to pass on generational wisdom instead of trauma.The mission to empower women to reject the “Damsel in Distress” narrative, take back their power from patriarchal messaging, and stop chasing love to finally “come home to themselves.”WATCH ON YOUTUBE: From Religious Cult Trauma to Radical Self-Reclamation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sudOhBApr8s&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvoh📖 ➡️ Grab Brooke’s books, Shattered, Broken, and Beautiful: Losing My Religion and Finding Faith and The Grief Monster.---✨ Grief & Rebirth: Healing Resources & Tools ✨🎧 Irene's Books (Including a Free Audiobook!)They Serve Bagels in Heaven—Irene’s heartfelt story of love and life beyond.Listen Free on Audible as a First Time User: https://amzn.to/4dG4l4wGet the Paperback or Hard copy: https://amzn.to/3XrE995📚 Embrace Life’s Third ChapterGood to the Last Drop—A powerful anthology on aging with purpose: https://amzn.to/3VJgEa5🛍️ Healing & Self-Care PicksCurated books and essentials from Irene: https://kit.co/GriefandRebirth📚 Grief & Rebirth BookshopBooks by podcast guests for healing & wisdom: https://bookshop.org/shop/griefandrebirth🎙️ Podcast & CommunityInspiring stories of transformation on the Grief and Rebirth website: https://griefandrebirth.com📱 Stay ConnectedSubscribe to Grief and Rebirth on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOSDru2EU1djRZaZxxFkMig?sub_confirmation=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenesweinbergFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IreneSWeinbergTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenesweinberg🎥 Irene’s Spiritual Awakening StoryWatch how the podcast began: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0mJWKfg5PM🎙️ Be a Podcast GuestHave a story or healing work to share?Apply Here: https://ireneweinberg.com/be-on-the-podcast/📰 NewsletterGet updates, tips, and new episodes by signing up to the Grief and Rebirth Substack: https://substack.com/@griefandrebirth💖 Affiliate DisclaimerSome links may earn us a commission.

What begins as a life devoted to caregiving can, in midlife, evolve into a profound awakening toward intentional purpose. We are delighted to welcome best-selling author, speaker, and podcast host Debbie R. Weiss, who shares her extraordinary journey from decades as a family caregiver to reclaiming her life after profound loss. Hear how turning 50 was a catalyst for change, leading her to develop the "maybe I can" mindset and her signature "sprinkle effect"—a dynamic approach of taking small, intentional steps to navigate life's toughest transitions and build true resilience. Debbie’s inspiring story, chronicled in her books On Second Thought…Maybe I Can and The Sprinkle Effect, is a powerful testament that it is absolutely never too late to redefine your path and create a more vibrant, fulfilling life.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:Childhood insecurities and limiting beliefs often lead to a life of people-pleasing and prioritizing others.Decades of family caregiving, even when purposeful, can result in profound burnout.A “turning point” moment in midlife can be a powerful catalyst to reclaim your life.Shift your mindset from “I can’t” to “maybe I can” by starting with one small, intentional step.Finding a personal creative focus is a vital act of self-preservation and a source of healing during intense grief.The “sprinkle effect” is a dynamic strategy to achieve sustainable transformation through small, intentional qualities like joy and discipline.The E + R = O formula shows that taking responsibility for your reaction to an event controls the outcome of your life.Build resilience by creating a “maybe I can list” of all the major adversities you have successfully overcome.Self-care is an imperative act, not a selfish one, necessary to show up as your best self for your family and yourself.Healing from pain is a continuous journey of learning to live with it, preventing it from controlling your life.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: Rebuilding a Life After Decades of Caregiving and Grief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX8Uz9krSdg&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvoh&index=4&t=1803sThe Sprinkle Effect Workbook: Practical Exercises and Thoughtful Prompts to Support Your Journey to a More Colorful and Fulfilling Life: https://bookshop.org/a/93249/9798991084703---✨ Grief & Rebirth: Healing Resources & Tools ✨🎧 Irene's Books (Including a Free Audiobook!)They Serve Bagels in Heaven—Irene’s heartfelt story of love and life beyond.Listen Free on Audible as a First Time User: https://amzn.to/4dG4l4wGet the Paperback or Hard copy: https://amzn.to/3XrE995📚 Embrace Life’s Third ChapterGood to the Last Drop—A powerful anthology on aging with purpose: https://amzn.to/3VJgEa5🛍️ Healing & Self-Care PicksCurated books and essentials from Irene: https://kit.co/GriefandRebirth📚 Grief & Rebirth BookshopBooks by podcast guests for healing & wisdom: https://bookshop.org/shop/griefandrebirth🎙️ Podcast & CommunityInspiring stories of transformation on the Grief and Rebirth website: https://griefandrebirth.com📱 Stay ConnectedSubscribe to Grief and Rebirth on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOSDru2EU1djRZaZxxFkMig?sub_confirmation=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenesweinbergFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IreneSWeinbergTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenesweinberg🎥 Irene’s Spiritual Awakening StoryWatch how the podcast began: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0mJWKfg5PM🎙️ Be a Podcast GuestHave a story or healing work to share?Apply Here: https://ireneweinberg.com/be-on-the-podcast/📰 NewsletterGet updates, tips, and new episodes by signing up to the Grief and Rebirth Substack: https://substack.com/@griefandrebirth💖 Affiliate DisclaimerSome links may earn us a commission.

He Watched the Woman He Loved Die—And Learned How to Live AgainThe courageous journey of navigating grief becomes a path to renewed life and love in this heartfelt conversation with author and Certified Grief Educator Tony Stewart. An accomplished filmmaker, visionary software designer, and global leader in advertising technology, Tony shares the intimate story behind his acclaimed memoir, Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving.With unflinching honesty and tender grace, Tony recounts his profound 35-year marriage to his late wife, painter Lynn Kotula, their experience facing her terminal illness, and the pivotal conversations that helped him move forward. His memoir offers a deeply intimate exploration of love, loss, and the quiet strength required to face life’s most harrowing moments. Tony brings a unique blend of insight, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom to this powerful interview as he reflects on the shift in perspective that allowed him to reframe his grief, how sorrow can be woven into our lives without overwhelming us, and what joy might look like even during mourning. This conversation is an invitation to witness resilience, honor love, and discover how grief can open unexpected pathways to healing and renewal.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:How to approach a terminal illness diagnosis as a unified challenge to maximize “good time” rather than collapsing in pity or pursuing a “false trap” of a cure.The concept of grief as a form of “alchemy,” in which, over time, we can transmute our grief into something stronger and more valued, a kind of gold.The healing modalities that helped Tony cope with his wife’s terminal illness, his grief, and his transition to a new life. The meaning behind the Tai Chi metaphor “Carrying the Tiger”: if you carry a tiger for someone, you are lifting their load.Why grief is something to honor rather than something to fix, and the truth that “you can’t heal what you don’t feel.”The reality that you never stop grieving, but the gradual building of positive new experiences allows joy to coexist with enduring love and sadness.The complex journey of finding new love while still deeply grieving for a previous partner, and how a new partner’s openness can aid in the healing process.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: He Watched the Woman He Loved Die—And Learned How to Live Again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKWDBSKHps4&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvoh📘 Carrying the Tiger: Special Kindle Deals! 🔥 Cyber Monday Flash Sale — Just $0.99! https://amzn.to/4pIOubN📅 December 1 (US & Canada)Start your journey with Carrying the Tiger for less than a dollar.

A spiritual awakening often blossoms from profound personal loss, leading to an extraordinary calling to help others heal and embrace their purpose. Our guest, Huenu Solsona, shares her remarkable journey from being a former helicopter pilot to becoming the inspired founder of Orykl, the world’s first digital platform for connecting seekers with thoroughly vetted spiritual practitioners. Huenu details how the tragic loss of her older brother catalyzed her deep spiritual path and how an intuitive knowing saved her life during a harrowing helicopter crash. She also shares her unwavering belief that each of us is here with a unique purpose, discusses how integrity and purposeful intention by light workers can raise the collective consciousness, and outlines Orykl’s healing mission to empower spiritual practitioners to turn their gifts into thriving careers while ensuring that seekers receive guidance from trusted, heart-centered professionals.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:How a profound personal loss can serve as the catalyst for a deep spiritual awakening and a call to service.The life-saving power of intuitive knowing (a “soul-level knowing”) in a crisis, which brings immediate clarity and calm.The belief that the ultimate human purpose is to be one’s authentic self, rather than living the life others want you to live.How the soul communicates through expansive (good) or constrictive (bad) emotions, guiding you toward your path.Understanding the collective consciousness and how light workers uniting with integrity can help elevate it.The philosophy behind the Orykl platform: empowering seekers with vetted spiritual practitioners who focus on autonomous, self-powering healing (“teaching you how to fish”).Why healing is essential to address energetic blockages and understand that everything starts in the spirit realm before manifesting physically.Tips for conscious living, including practicing self-love, detaching from drama and negative media, and committing to a daily, non-negotiable inward practice.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: From Helicopter Crash to Spiritual Awakening: Huenu Solsona’s Journey from Tragedy to Oracle: https://youtu.be/rVvTVuxvayE✨ Begin your healing journey with guidance you can trust.
