This week I'm talking to Kim Hoddus about her book, Beyond Grief,

how a son's afterlife connection transformed a mother's loss into a remarkable spiritual journey.

Kim Hoddus is a motivational speaker, bestselling author,

award-winning entrepreneur and spiritual mentor. After losing her son Rob to an accidental overdose,

she began having conversations with her son from the other side. Well, hi Kim, thanks a lot for

childhood leukemia. She had monosome seven. And so she fought the fight for six months. But my

husband and I, you know, held her in our arms on the night of May 21st,

gosh, 31 years ago, when she took her last breath. And my friends at odds called me Mary Poppins.
