A Death Doula’s Guide to Grief Literacy, Synchronicities & Mediumship

What if grief isn't an ending you must survive, but a sacred companion that guides your personal awakening? Host Irene Weinberg welcomes death doula, transformational soul coach, and national advocate for Grief Literacy, Julie Wright Halbert. After the sudden passing of her husband Jim, Julie stepped away from a high-profile legal career to help individuals meet endings with presence and conscious awareness. She reveals how signs, mediumship sessions, and synchronicities like repeating numbers affirm that our departed loved ones remain intimately connected to us. You'll discover practical ways to move through intense shattering, release emotional pain, and embrace joy without guilt. Tune in to discover why honoring loss can empower your soul to soar.
