Where do our loved ones go when they die? Do you have a deep yearning to connect with your person and aren't sure where to start? Are you seeking tools to awaken your connection with the divine, the intangible but very palpable energy that you can't see or touch, but is calling to you? Then this episode is for you!

Join Amanda and her guest Rachel Stewart, an intuitive guide, energy healer, and co-founder of For 11—a heart-led online sanctuary designed to support others navigating grief, spiritual awakening, and soul realignment for a heartfelt and revealing conversation about Rachel's otherworldly spiritual experience following the death of her daughter, Kenadie, who passed from cancer at age 10.

The ladies powerful conversation includes:

🔥How the unimaginable loss of her daughter led Rachel to the gift of communicating with the other side.

🔥Normalizing connection with spirit through signs and direct communication for both women and men.

🔥Acknowledging your spirit team and helpers and how to connect with them to experience peace after loss.

🔥The concept of soul splitting: how source splits your one into different human forms, spread out among more than just the human body you inhabit, to ultimately aid the higher self and the collective in spiritual ascension

🔥Exploring the idea of a multiverse and why we chose to come to Earth, the hardest planet to inhabit.

🔥Shifting perspective around the reason for tragedy and why we must experience certain hardships in this particular life.

🔥How Kenadie is guiding Rachel in her For 11 online community to help fellow grievers connect with their loved ones.

🔥Amazing stories of some of Rachel’s followers and their undeniable connection with their loved ones on the other side.

In 2018, Rachel’s life changed forever with the sudden passing of her daughter, Kenadie. Feeling that traditional grief support systems couldn’t fully reach the soul’s depth of sorrow, she turned inward. What followed was a profound journey into energy healing, angelic communication, and working closely with what she now calls her “Spirit Team.” Rachel and her husband Shane are in the process of creating the For 11 Community which will offer a unique blend of live monthly energy healing sessions, intuitive readings, courses, and a content library rich with meditations, channelings, and metaphysical tools. An incredible soul, Rachel’s ability to transmute grief into light, and to guide others in rediscovering their own divine connection, has made her a trusted presence for anyone feeling disconnected, heartbroken, or spiritually lost.

How you livin’? Have you considered you might be roaming the earth having a “near life” experience, existing kind of right outside of your being…not living fully now? Are you slightly adjacent to your life — watching it happen — and not really engaging?

Join Amanda and her super charismatic guest Karen Salmansohn, bestselling author and behavioral change expert, for a light-hearted yet weighty conversation about embracing the reality of your own death and how to make the most of life now!

Their intriguing and interesting discussion covers the following:

🔥"Bridge habits" and how to create them — the process of linking a core value of your identity to a desired outcome to propel you into action to create inner change

🔥How to conduct a "life audit" — the activity of looking at what needs to be cleared out or changed...where are you wasting time in life that instead can be spent on making meaning?

🔥Mortality awareness and how it creates urgency to prioritize what’s important and who you want to be in this life, as well as providing inspiration to take action to do and be those things

🔥Writing your own aspirational eulogy

🔥Aristotle’s philosophy that we have the wrong end goal in sight: We should be driven by soul growth and not material wealth, while simultaneously indulging in fun in moderation

🔥A breakdown of hedonism vs. eudaimonia: Enjoy a lot now (with no suffering) and pay later vs. suffer a bit now (plus enjoy some) and experience much more joy later

🔥Chronological mapping: A colorful drawing of the timeline of events in your life (the ones you welcomed and the one you could do without!) and recognizing the lessons as a way to shift narratives around certain life events

🔥A fun exercise Karen does every month to keep her mortality front and center and motivate her to fill every month with personal growth and purpose

Karen Salmansohn, bestselling author and behavioral change expert, whose books and courses have sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. With 1.5 million social media followers, Karen has built a dedicated following by blending humor, research-backed insights, and practical strategies for creating a more meaningful life. In her upcoming book, Your To-Die For Life: How to Maximize Joy and Minimize Regret . . . Before Your Time Runs Out, she challenges readers to rethink their relationship with mortality—not as something to fear, but as the ultimate motivator for living boldly and authentically.

Everyone will feel grief at some point in their life—loss is inevitable, but perpetual suffering is not; peace, freedom, and joy are a decision, one that you get to make. Will you make it? Will your grief spark personal growth, and make you better? Or will it make you bitter?

Join Amanda and her sister in grief, Tara Accardo, Grief, Soul Purpose, and Transformational Life Coach and host of the Life With Grief podcast for an honest conversation about the magic that grief holds to deliver us to our highest purpose and greatest selves. Listen to Tara’s personal story of losing both of her parents within 6 months, followed by a traumatic birthing experience, and how she was divinely led to turn her losses in gains.

More candid discussion centers around:

🔥How to incorporate grief into everyday life in a way that gives you meaning and purpose

🔥The ways in which both Amanda and Tara have gained from their loss—how they have changed for the better

🔥Redefining your relationship with loss to serve you instead of hurt you

🔥The interesting duality of losing both parents: the freedom of no one being “over” you but also intense isolation because the people you turned to for support and guidance are no longer there

🔥The common thread of loss of identity/identity crisis that Tara sees across the board in both grief and life coaching

🔥Time does not heal wounds—it’s what you do with that time that matters

🔥Micro moments of healing: small actions taken every day to help you move into a peaceful place

Tara Accardo is a Grief and Transformational Life Coach and host of the Life With Grief Podcast. After suffering multiple traumatic losses, her journey of grieving led her to create Losses Become Gains—a community for fellow grievers that serves tools, resources, inspiration, and guidance on how to navigate grief, loss, and moving forward in life with both in tow.

Through her podcast, one-on-one coaching and other modalities of support, Tara’s passion, calling, and commitment to uplifting and empowering fellow grievers runs deep.
