Today’s conversation is with Karen Johnson, a healer and writer who spent 30 years of her life working as a judge until her beloved son, Ben, died from an overdose at 27.

After that devastating experience, she sold her home, retired, spent 2 and a half years traveling and interviewing shamans, and ultimately became one herself.

This episode is about Karen’s journey with grief and the world beyond. She emphasizes that, while it will take time, we don’t have to be stuck in our grief and our loved ones don’t want us to be stuck as it keeps them from doing their work on the other side.

If you want to know how to find the wisdom and energy in grief that can be used to create a new life and how to trust the universe, this is a must-listen.

I’d love to know what you think. Please share it with your friends and family, and be sure to tag me if you share it on social media so that I can say thank you. I’m @christinarasmussen7 on Instagram and @ChristinaRasmussen2014 on Facebook.
