In today's episode, I'm happy to introduce you to Laura Day. Laura is a practicing intuitive and a New York Times bestselling author. I first came across her work many years ago and what struck me most about her was her integrity and her willingness to be fully human, even within the spiritual and self-help world where that can often get bypassed. In this conversation, Laura shares some of the traumatic events she has experienced and how she feels they played an integral role in her honing her intuition. She says she has "ruined her life more times than she can count. She has become someone she detests quite a few times as well." Her ability to own those truths and also see that each of those moments are also a seed of greatness is truly inspiring. We talk about the idea that life begins again and again and again and again and that loss is the only actual guarantee in all of this. She shares that she feels the human ability to mourn is very important. To mourn the people we were when our loved one was still alive, and the person that has died themselves. Both losses need to be mourned because a lot has been lost, but she reminds us that over time we can still have a new relationship with those that have passed. Laura actually shared one of the ways she connects with her mother, two siblings and others that have died that you may want to try as well. "You resolve the past by living the present better. You choose the future and secure the future, by living the present better." ~ Laura Day We talk a lot about what it means to be mindful and truly present in our lives, as well as the idea that the present moment is truly all that we have and all that is real. And in order to be fully present, it requires bravery and courage because it means that we must also acknowledge that the moment will end and move to our past. Being in the present moment requires us to meet the grief head on. I hope that you enjoy and feel uplifted by this conversation as much as I did. I hope that after listening you will connect to Laura's tips at the end for finding more mindfulness, ease and presence in your day. May you also find comfort in knowing that you are only physically separated from those that you lost, but your ability to maintain a new kind of relationship and connection does not end.

It is so important to me that we are ready to exit the Waiting Room when it's time to re-enter our new lives on the other side of this.
