Deborah was brought to my attention by my older sister.  Her bravery in sharing her grief story is truly remarkable. We all experience grief in our own unique ways, and loss affects each of us differently. I hope you find comfort and inspiration in this special bonus episode! 

My sister! My friend! This is a classic Sam and me conversation—scatterbrained and fun! She’s such a badass, incredibly mentally strong (except maybe the night before a race!). The bond we share is something truly special, going beyond just being sisters. It’s a lifelong friendship, built on love and support!

Elizabeth Makepeace You are not broken! We all identify as being an individual, separate from each other. But this is just part of the illusion. We are powerful beings that can tap into the very essence of the universe, collapse time and create beyond our wildest imaginations. Can you imagine the world we can create the more people we can share this knowledge with?  I'm living proof of this. Many experiences of so called miracles. Three shooting stars when I reached out to the universe asking for guidance; multi 6 figure business; breezed through a 4.5cm brain tumour operation (including having 5 figures drop into my account while laying on the hospital bed); meeting the love of my life in a fairytale encounter... I'm a healer and his last name is Makepeace. What are the odds? When you know how to tap into your true essence - Higher Self Wisdom and release all the limitations from the identity that only sees separation... well that's when real magic is part of your daily life. We are all this powerful... we just need to remember. Instagram Facebook Website
