Welcome to Rock Your Shine: After you’ve been cracked wide open. On this show, I sit down with people from all over the world to hear their transformational stories on their deep grief and loss journeys.

In this episode, we are joined by Maryann, an intuitive soul reader who shares her insights on how we can connect with our intuition and find joy amidst grief. Maryann begins by explaining what an intuitive soul reader is and how she got introduced to it. She then shares how she receives her downloads and ways to differentiate between intuition and other external sources of information.

Maryann also explores why people lose touch with their intuition and the different ways we can meditate to tap into it. She offers recommendations for people who are just starting their meditation practices and emphasizes the importance of learning how to sit quietly with our feelings.

The conversation then shifts to the topic of grief and how we can find joy again amidst it. Maryann shares her thoughts on shifting from a place of feeling to wisdom and offers words of wisdom for those missing the physical presence of loved ones.

Towards the end of the episode, Maryann talks about what self-love means to her and leaves us with a powerful message of hope.
