Grief specialist Ligia Houben shares powerful insights about common misconceptions surrounding grief, revealing how it extends beyond death to include divorce, job loss, health changes, and even lost security. This enlightening conversation explores the 11 principles of transformation that guide people from pain to healing with practical tools and compassionate understanding.

• Thanatology is the study of death and dying in a society that often avoids these topics
• Grief manifests beyond death—through divorce, job loss, health challenges, and lost security
• Modern society has created distance from death, transforming it from a home-based family experience to a clinical process
• Cultural approaches to death vary widely, with examples like Mexico's Day of the Dead celebrations
• The 11 principles of transformation include accepting loss, living your grief, developing spiritual dimensions, and modifying thoughts
• Creating meaningful rituals helps process grief, like memory boxes at family gatherings
• Grief follows no timeline—we don't "get over it" but learn to integrate it into our lives
• Changing our thoughts about loss can profoundly impact our emotional experience
• Opening our hearts to mortality helps us prioritize love and meaningful connections

Love alchemist Sanaiya Gurnamal reveals why high-achieving women struggle to find love and how healing inner "love blocks" can transform relationship patterns.

• The common denominator in disappointing relationships is ourselves, not our partners
• Five love blocks prevent healthy relationships: commitment phobias, people pleasers, runaway brides, caretakers, and memory chasers
• Childhood experiences and past relationships shape our love blocks and relationship patterns
• Self-love is essential for attracting rather than chasing relationships
• High-achieving women don't need to downplay their success to find love
• Healing techniques like Theta Healing can release negative beliefs instantly
• Creating a clear vision for the relationship you want helps manifest it
• Energetic alignment is crucial for maintaining love in long-term relationships
• The most important relationship you'll ever have is with yourself

Take Sanaiya's Love Blocks Quiz at SanaiyaGurnamal.com/love-blocks-quiz to discover which patterns might be holding you back.

Susan Hensley reveals how art journaling and creative play can transform our approach to life's biggest challenges by shifting us from perfectionism to freedom, from fear to curiosity. We explore how even 10 minutes of deliberate mess-making can bypass our inner critic and unlock solutions our analytical brain can't find.

• Perfectionism and left-brain dominance keep us stuck in patterns of self-criticism and fear
• The brain science behind creativity shows how right-brain activities reduce stress and increase problem-solving
• Art journaling requires no artistic talent – just willingness to scribble, play, and express without judgment
• Major life transitions have three stages: endings (requiring grief), the messy middle, and new beginnings
• Playing with art activates curiosity, which is the true opposite of fear
• Simple practices like drawing what you loved as a child can reconnect you with joy and possibility
• Creative expression provides a safe outlet for processing difficult emotions without harming relationships
• Making a deliberate mess for just 2-3 minutes can interrupt thought loops and open new perspectives

Visit Susan-Hensley.com to download a free quick starter guide for art journaling.
