Intuition is something we’re all born with, but somewhere along the way, the noise of the outside world can drown out our inner voice. Or we forget to stop “listening to our gut.” But learning to listen to our intuition can improve virtually every aspect of our lives and help take mindfulness to the next level. This week’s guest, Kim Chestney, is an expert on intuition and author of the new book, Radical Intuition: A Revolutionary Guide to Using Your Inner Power. She explains how tapping into our intuition can change our lives — and what we can do to start. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to learn to listen to your intuition.
• How to tune into and develop your intuition.
• Why insightfulness is the next step beyond mindfulness.

Grief is a difficult subject, and it can be even more difficult when trying to manage it with children. After the sudden death of her husband, Ashley Bugge found herself not only raising two children and planning for the birth of her third child, but also trying to help them live in a world suddenly consumed by grief. Unable to find books that spoke to children about grief in real terms, together she and her children wrote a remarkable book titled, A Hui Hou: Until We Meet Again.

This week, Ashley discusses how to talk to children about grief and loss to help them understand their feelings and live a happier life. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to have honest conversations about grief with children.
• How to make new memories as a family while grieving loss.
• Signs a child may be struggling with grief.
