The following podcast is a dear media production.

Welcome to the Blond Files podcast.

I'm your host Arielle Lori and I'm here to talk all things

wellness from how to achieve optimal health and well-being to the best beauty tips and everything in between no topic is off limits.

I know there's so much information out there so I am bringing on expert guests and

sharing my own experiences to help you sift through all the wellness stuff

without the BS. Enjoy the show. Welcome, Susan.

Thank you.

Thank you for having me.

I'm really looking forward to talking to you.

This is a topic that I have not touched at all, I don't think, in the five years that I've had the podcast,

you know, the topic of grief and spirituality and Claire senses, which I'm sure we'll get into but why don't we start by having you

introduce yourself to the audience and tell them about what you do because it's very

unique. Okay I'm a medium and intuitive and I'm a medium, an intuitive, and I'm an inspirational speaker and an author. I started out having a near-death experience at four and a half years old. I was locked in an unplugged freezer in a garage and when I came back from that I was able to see spirits everywhere.

It was unbelievable and I was really actually terrified. I used to cover my head and tell them to go away.

I thought they were the boogie men.

But as time went on it became my normal. I ultimately was visited by them

continuously and I became a counselor for grief and addiction and then I receive my doctorate and

divinity and I work with children who have near death experiences so you know I've

kind of got an array of things I love to do at the end of the day I'm just a

healer that's what I love that's that's my heart yeah I'm just a healer. That's what I love that's that's my heart. Yeah. I'm curious about the kind of

intersection between grief and addiction if there is one. I've been in recovery for 10 years so that's a particular interest you made.
