Welcome to another episode of The Glam Reaper. I am your host Jennifer, delighted to impart all my knowledge and experiences through my podcast episodes and together with my special guests about different aspects of life, love, loss, and funerals.


In today’s amazing episode, I had a wonderful time chatting with Allison Gilbert, a gifted woman who is an author of 4 books and currently working on her 5th. She has been writing for the New York Times, several magazines and newspapers for decades now while also counts as a producer at CNN and MSNBC in her resume! With her skills in writing and researching, she wanted to use it to share other peoples stories about grief and how to cope with it after her own experience with loss.

 

Allison is a very strong woman who experienced loss at a very young age with the death of her parents. This is one of the reasons why she wants to share with others how to cope with grief and loss. Especially with COVID 19 going on, there are lots of people who are currently experiencing loss and also other tragedies that happened to us in our lifetimes. Allison's books, blog and courses are a great resource, particularly in today's current climate.



Stay tuned to our conversation to know more about the importance of being resilient, overcoming loss and grief, Allison’s blogs and the magnificent overview of her online courses.

In today’s episode, I had a very wonderful conversation with the powerhouse of energy and amazingness, we have the fabulous Patricia Lohan. She is a feng shui expert that will show you how to create the health, wealth, and prosperity you’ve been working towards.

Our conversation started with a bit of an overview of Feng Shui from Patricia. She gave amazing insights into how Feng Shui has been from the start. It is a huge part of Chinese philosophy as it is also connected with death and used to help the bereaved family find the best placement for their gravesites. Furthermore, Feng Shui can also be used in improving your life, love, and prosperity. In addition to this, Patricia shared how she met her husband by following what she learned from India.

Our host, Jennifer, also had a fair share of her experience following the Feng Shui tips from Patricia. It is one of the big things Jennifer took away was her fake plants. Patricia explained why she doesn’t recommend having fake plants because the chain energy gets stagnant with it. Feng Shui is all about movement and flow and fake plants have no sense of movement and life. As the conversation progressed, Patricia also shared 3 key things on how feng shui can help us in improving our lives. Want to know more about this? Stay with us and start collecting these nuggets of gold!

In today’s episode, we are very fortunate to have a very talented woman as our guest. A life coach, the owner and lead publicist of Whitegate PR, and also known as “The Pet Lady”, no other than Dana Humphrey. Dana and I had a wonderful conversation about different aspects of life and our life experiences. We started out with how Dana became a death doula and what inspired her to be one. During this conversation, she deepens the meaning of what it is to be a death doula and some aspects that you have to be equipped as a death doula. She added that she enrolled in a death doula program that made her certified as a death doula. As our conversation progressed, we talked about how death should be accepted as part of our journey in life. Accepting death does not mean we want to speed it up, rather we learn more to appreciate what we have in life and be able to live our lives to the fullest.
