Send us a textIn episode 209, host Andrea Atherton welcomes healer, yogini, and musician Sasha Stone—leader of the Sasha Stone Band—to share the raw, unfiltered story of how she turned immense adversity into purpose. Sasha opens her heart about navigating personal loss, family addiction, and life-altering accidents, each chapter carving the path toward reclaiming her voice and identity. Her journey begins with a deep and formative connection to music, one that was first kindled in childhood through her bond with her now-deceased brother. Their shared love for music became a sacred language between them—a space of safety, expression, and soul connection that planted the seeds for the artist Sasha would one day become.Throughout the conversation, Sasha speaks with vulnerable wisdom about the teachers, healers, and inner awakenings that helped her shift from survival mode into soul-led living. Now at 40, she embodies the strength, softness, and clarity of a woman who has alchemized her past into passion. Music, once a comfort in chaos, has become a cornerstone of her healing. It offered her a lifeline in moments of despair, and eventually became the very tool through which she reclaimed her truth. Today, Sasha merges her love for music with her coaching practice, helping others heal through story, sound, and self-discovery. Together, Andrea and Sasha explore how being in the right relationship with ourselves changes everything: how we date, how we serve, and how we come alive again.The episode concludes with a special gift for listeners—a live acoustic performance of one of Sasha's inspirational songs. This song offers a living embodiment of Sasha's transformation: a tribute to grief, resilience, and the unwavering power of self-expression. Let this episode align within you like a healing balm, inviting you to find your creative expression and remember that your pain, too, can be turned into magic.Sasha Stone Band: https://www.sashastoneband.com30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

In this powerful exploration of grief and loss, Tony Schering dives deep into the story of Lazarus from John 11. This narrative serves as a profound reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope and life await us. We journey through the stages of sickness, loss, and grief, witnessing how Jesus responds to each with compassion and purpose. The contrasting responses of Martha and Mary to their brother's death highlight different ways we might approach God in our pain - through questioning or through raw emotion. Both are met with Jesus' empathy and ultimate power over death. This message challenges us to fall at Jesus' feet in our suffering, just as Mary did, knowing that He weeps with us and understands our pain intimately. We're reminded that our stories don't end in death, but in the life that Jesus promises. As we navigate our own wilderness experiences, we're encouraged to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, knowing that He is working all things for our sanctification and His glory.
Life has a way of leading us down paths we never expected—sometimes through joy, but often through deep loss. An unexpected event can open doors to purpose, not only helping others but also shaping our own journey in ways we never imagined. This was the case for Michelle Swanson, who, after losing her husband to colorectal cancer, found herself committed to raising awareness and ensuring that no one has to face a diagnosis alone. Today, we're diving into the lessons and discoveries that come through grief, exploring how we can gain perspective, find purpose, and better prepare for the unexpected moments that inevitably shape our lives. You can reach Michelle at mlswanson22@gmail.com or on LinkedIn. Make sure you're getting all our podcast updates and articles!

Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly shares from her heart, knowing that she'll experience loss and grief very soon in her life, coping with the very thing which she compassionately teaches that comforts others. Caregivers, doulas and professionals like Mary Anne are typically the first line of support as they assist other dementia patients and their family members to cope with serious illness, feelings of loss, and the end of life. But now, it's her time. This episode begins with the celebration of a new building that is shared by both the Veranda Ministries and the Preferred Care Group. An extraordinary collaboration is available to both organizations as they learn and glean from each other. And then there's Doris' story. Doris is Mary Anne's sister and her life is in the balance of God's hand right now. The grief she is feeling about her younger sibling is the emotional response to loss, defined as the individualized and personalized feelings and responses that an individual makes to real, perceived, or anticipated loss. The last gift that Mary Anne will give her sister is her presence, her words and her gift of love.

When we lose someone, we love, we often say we have a broken heart—but what if that's not just a metaphor?In her new book “The Grieving Body: How The Stress of Loss Can Be An Opportunity For Healing” University of Arizona Professor of Psychology Mary Frances O'Connor shares groundbreaking insights into the biological and physiological impacts grief has on our bodies. O'Connor reveals how profound loss can lead to serious medical conditions, from heart attacks to immune system breakdowns, and explains why grieving can make us more vulnerable to diseases like cancer, pneumonia, and even autoimmune disorders.Drawing on her personal experiences and extensive research, O'Connor outlines why our medical system—and society at large—needs to rethink how we support grieving individuals. She makes a powerful case for viewing grief not only as an emotional experience but as a medical event deserving careful monitoring and intervention, similar to pregnancy or chronic illness.
How do we begin to help young children understand loss? What can we do to help little ones grieve while we are walking through it alongside them? For author, speaker, and podcaster Annie F. Downs, these questions became real when her infant nephew, TJ, passed away from a severe medical condition less than two months after he was born. Wanting to help her sister, Tatum Green, and her young son, Sam, process through this loss, Annie did what she was uniquely gifted to do. She wrote Sam a book to help him as he tried to grasp the loss of his little brother. Once it was written, Annie and Tatum knew that this book needed to be offered to other families beyond theirs who were trying to figure out through how to walk young kids through unimaginable losses and so together, they created the final version,Where did TJ Go? A Book for Kids on Grief and Loss. In it, they help children ask the hard questions that can come when they lose someone they love and find hope through the Gospel. In this honest conversation, Davey sits with Annie and Tatum to talk about how a loss impacts a whole family, the best ways we can show up for those we love in their grief, and what we learn about the mystery of God through the rawness of our struggles and questions. If you or someone you love is trying to navigate how to guide a young child through loss, this episode will encourage you that while it can be hard and difficult, simply giving kids the space to ask tough questions and talk about what they are feeling is the first step in walking them through the pain of grief and finding hope along the way.
