Mon, 27 Feb 2023 14:00:58 GMT

I went on a date with my dead ex-boyfriend

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 14:00:37 GMT

This is a very special episode. It is near and dear to my heart. Have you ever wanted to have one last chance to say things to a deceased loved one? What would you say if you had that chance, if you could get all your unanswered questions answered? What would it look and feel like to have closure, forgiveness and peace with someone you loved, but it ended weirdly or badly or abubtly or in some other way you didn’t like? How would those feelings show up in other places in your life for you? How would you show up differently in your life if you had that closure, that peace if unsaid things were said?

This episode is about what happened when I had the opportunity to get closure and peace. On Halloween 2021, the L.A. Times published my story, titled “I went on a date with my dead ex-boyfriend”. This podcast episode today is very special to me because it’s the actual session with a psychic medium that I had which inspired my true story published in the L.A. Times, the behind the scenes of me re-connecting with my deceased ex.
