Soul Power & Mediumship with Lindsay Percival

Soul Power & Mediumship with Lindsay Percival
From an early age Lindsay had a sense there was more to life than met the eye. As an only child she had a rich, imaginary life, full of friends and foe, and worlds within worlds to explore. When Lindsay graduated she thought journalism was her calling, to travel and to tell the truth. She wrote and broadcast for the BBC, among others, from Spain and Slovenia, to St Petersburg and Prague. After becoming a wife and a mother of three children it brought she focus inwards to the home and she got lost on that journey. She lost my mother and grandmother in quick succession, and found herself in a dark wood, deeply unhappy and desperately alone. Lindsay set out on a spiritual quest and found herself at the feet of Tibetan Lamas and Buddhist monks, a Native American Blackfoot, a Slovakian shaman, mediums, Reiki Masters, Tai Chi and yoga teachers, Tarot readers and psychotherapists, seeking on some level what she knew that she already knew... ...that death is never the end for our loved ones just a beautiful new beginning. Lindsay joins me this week to talk about the spirit world, healing energy, and soul care. She feels we are all divinely guided and it is time to rise up to the call. You will hear the gentle wisdom of Lindsay urging each of us to get out of our own way, and welcome this time of great transition. It is Soul Power and Soul Wisdom with Lindsay Percival on The Next Room! Find Lindsay here: Let's Connect: YouTube Channel: The Next Room Book:

Suicide Loss Survivor Sara Rian Shares her Grief through Poetry
Sara Rian is an American poet, self-published author, mother, wife, licensed therapist, and griever living in Metro Detroit. She has been drawn to grief poetry ever since her mother's death in 2018. Her mother embraced the power of words through her own love notes and poems and had always wanted to publish a book. As a mental health professional, suicide loss survivor, and grieving human, Sara shares her work with others to let them know that they are not alone in their big love or big grief. This has also been a way for her to help make her mother’s wish come true as she is the inspiration behind every poem and book. On the show today I asked Sara to talk to me about her beloved mother Susan. Sara glows when she describes her mother. Sara said that Susan spoke ALL of the love languages, she was funny, and the definition of kindness. Her mom died by suicide in 2018 after a lengthy battle with mental illness. It left Sara in shock, angry and racked with guilt. She began to express her untamed grief through writing poetry. September is Suicide Prevention Month and our hope is to open up a conversation about the struggles that our loved ones are facing so they do not have to suffer alone. There is help available. If you or someone you know is possibly having thoughts of hurting themselves please reach out. National Suicide Prevention: If you are in crisis, please call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting 741-741.

Accepting the diagnosis, not the prognosis with Jesse & Amanda
I invited my friend Jesse Brisendine back on the show and asked him to see if Amanda would join us. The two are best friends and in the last four months they have been navigating a Mount Everest of a health challenge. Amanda agreed to come on the show. Amanda is an ultra endurance athlete and was in training when things started to go south. Her leg buckled and she intuitively knew something was really wrong. The two went to the E.R. and she received the news. Amanda was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. She is fully aware of and accepting of the diagnosis. She is not however, willing to accept the prognosis. The two are committed to exploring all avenues both western and non western alike to help her heal and enjoy more time with the people and animals she loves so dearly. The two decided to document this journey in hopes that they can create a blueprint so others can use their findings in the future to help them heal. On this show we talk about courage, bravery, and even health tips to stay focused on what really matters; the people she loves and staying in the moment. You will find out about "Death Cleaning" and what this term means, and how Amanda faced it with humor and grace. She even shares her on-going mantra, "what is the best thing that can happen right now?" This show is filled full of laughter, hope, and information for anyone facing a difficult time in their life. My hope is you will feel uplifted and inspired by this remarkable couple. It's your time to shine with Jesse & Amanda on The Next Room!

My guest is Rick Lawrence who is a 3rd generation San Diegan. Rick discusses the spiritual journey he has been on as far back as he can remember.
