There are moments that split life into clear before and after segments. For Evan, that moment came on a late October night when, driving home after a Halloween weekend show, he encountered headlights coming straight at him on the freeway. In this raw and emotional return episode, we break our five-month silence to share the story of the devastating wrong-way collision that took the life of Evan's fiancée Chelsea and left him fighting for his own survival.Through unfiltered conversation, Evan walks us through the accident night, waking up in the wreckage with a broken body, and the months of intensive hospitalization that followed. His medical journey was nothing short of harrowing—shattered bones, abdominal trauma requiring complete opening of his torso, wound vacuums, ostomy bags, and the unpredictable complications of fistulas. Christmas Eve marked his hospital discharge, but true recovery was just beginning.What emerges beyond the medical narrative is something profoundly moving: an outpouring of community support that manifested in a benefit concert raising over $50,000, with countless people—many strangers—coming together to ensure Evan could keep his home while healing. We meet the paramedics who saved his life and unusual became part of his story, the surgeons who rebuilt his body, and the found family who never left his side.Most powerful is Evan's candid reflection on grief itself—how trauma and survival mode delayed his mourning process, the complex emotions of returning to a home "frozen in time," and finding meaning in music again by returning to performing perhaps sooner than advisable. Through it all runs a current of profound gratitude and a determination to honor both Chelsea's memory and the second chance he's been given.If you've ever wondered about the human capacity for resilience or the power of community in crisis, this episode will remind you what truly matters when everything else falls away.

In this powerful episode of Feel Free Again, I sit down with my dear friend and grief recovery pioneer, Arturo Albin, to talk about life, legacy, and what it means to truly heal. Arturo shares his remarkable journey from being an industrial engineer to becoming a leader in emotional healing—bringing the Grief Recovery Method to Mexico and the broader Spanish-speaking world. Together, we explore the pain of divorce, the loss of a child, and the silent heartbreaks so many carry.

From losing his wife to building something lasting for generations to come, this is a story about redemption, healing, and emotional resilience. We also discuss how grief isn't limited to death.

Whether you're heartbroken, curious about healing, or looking to help others, this conversation will leave a lasting imprint on your heart.

It was very rewarding, but he was not satisfied. He could listen to the grievers, but he didn't know how to help them. And then he discovered The Grief Recovery Method and went through extensive training with the Grief Recovery Institute, both in Mexico and in the United States. At last he could guide people to help them work effectively on their emotional recovery. Arturo was so excited with his new Grief Recovery skills that he left a 30-year career in finance and systems and along with his wife, Alejandra, decided to start the Institute affiliate in Mexico to be able to reach more grievers to help them move beyond their pain.

Breaking Through the Clouds by Marlene BurlingGod has taken Marlene through many times of loss, pain and grief as well as disappointments and heartaches. Her desire for this book is that as she shares what God has done in her life, it will be an encouragement and help to those experiencing similar situations. John 10:10 continues to be her theme verse, as it was in her devotionals, "The thief comes to steal, to kill and destroy; I am come that you might have life; and that you might have it more abundantly." Satan is always trying to destroy our relationship with our Lord, but Jesus is greater than he and Jesus is the one who can help us "break through any cloud" that may be surrounding us and give us that abundant life that he wants us to live.Marlene is a widow. She was married to her pastor husband for 51 years. She has 3 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Besides this book, she has written two 365-day devotionals: "Morning Walks with God," and "A Daily Walk with God." She writes a weekly blog on her website (marleneburling.com), and posts on her face book page (Marlene Burling). She has developed a workshop for widows and others who have suffered the loss of a loved one, which is titled, "There is Life After Loss." She co-leads a Grief Share program at her church, and teaches a Bible study in her ladies community group which meets in her Amazonhttps://marleneburling.com/https://www.urlinkpublishing.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/32025mb1url.mp3 Morning Walks with God A Daily Walk with GodGrandma Tell Me the Easter Story https://marleneburling.com/

Through years of hosting dinner parties with fellow grievers, Carla Fernandez, writes that she learned to approach grief without sweeping it under the rug. “I learned about approaching grief less as a noun, a thing to distance ourselves from, and more as a verb,” as she writes in her new book, “Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.” Fernandez lost her father to brain cancer when she was 21. Well after the funeral and support tapered off, she realized she wasn't done grieving and didn't have an outlet for her experiences, so she co-founded The Dinner Party in 2014 to bring other young adults together to share food and process grief. Fernandez joins us to talk about how to navigate grief as an ongoing journey. Guest: Carla Fernandez, co-founder, The Dinner Party; author of the book “Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.”

Carla Fernandez lost her father to cancer the same year she turned 21, and subsequently hosted a dinner party for some friends who'd also experienced loss at a young age. This gathering launched a global community and support group for those navigating grief, from which she has learned the lessons distilled in her new book, Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.
Today's guest is Julie Cluff, a hope and grief coach, who shares her profound journey of loss and transformation after the tragic death of her two children in a car accident. Julie discusses the impact of grief, the importance of self-compassion, and the process of reclaiming joy after loss. She emphasizes the significance of sharing our stories and the potential for generational healing through personal growth. The conversation highlights the challenges of navigating grief and the transformative power of embracing our experiences to foster healing and connection. Key Takeaways: The hardest things can lead to profound transformation. Grief is a complex journey that requires time and compassion. Self-compassion is crucial in the healing process. Finding joy again is a relearning process after loss. Sharing our stories can inspire and help others heal. Generational healing can occur through personal growth and self-love. Pain often drives us to seek help and change our lives. Healing is not linear; it involves ups and downs. We can reclaim our space and redefine our relationship with grief. Transformation requires us to build a new foundation after loss. More from Julie: After losing my brother John to suicide and going through a painful divorce, I was left to pick up the pieces with my three young children. I remarried and following the births of three more children, my husband Ron and I built a remarkable life together blending our beautiful family with our six children. Then on Mother's Day, May 13, 2007, tragedy entered our life once again when our two youngest children, Carrie (10) and David (8) were killed in a car accident. For three years, I experienced profound, unimaginable grief. The pain was incomprehensible. However, in May 2010, my soul awakened to the beauty of life, and my life was transformed overnight as the miracle of healing entered my being. Through my personal healing experiences with spiritual guidance to share my story to help others, I developed the Build a Life After Loss podcast and programs, including the HOPE Model of Healing. Over the years, following these painful losses, I learned to communicate with my brother and children beyond the veil. I have often felt like I live in two worlds – the physical and the spiritual. As I worked with many grief clients I often felt their departed loved ones assisting in bringing love and light to their family members during our sessions. Then one summer day in 2020 in a remarkable moment I unexpectedly felt the distinct presence of a friend's son who had recently passed away. Not knowing what else to do I wrote down the messages that I was receiving from him and later shared those messages with his mother. These extraordinary experiences kept happening as I felt the presence of angels, spirit guides and loved ones leading the sessions with clients. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to bring this love and light to my clients as a spiritual guide between worlds. In addition to training and many years of experience in life and grief coaching, I am trained in energy work, angel readings, religious trauma, reiki, mediumship, EFT tapping, astrology, human design, and more. As we work together, I look forward to customizing a coaching experience specifically for you.

Broadway star, TV host, and entrepreneur Amanda Kloots was already a public figure, but when she began sharing her husband Nick Cordero's battle with COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic, her openness struck a deep chord. Through daily social media updates, she gave the world a raw, real-time look at love, loss, and resilience—bringing the often private and painful experience of grief into the open to help others process their own. Since then, she has continued to be a beacon of hope and healing, using her platform to spark important conversations about moving forward after tragedy.But in this episode, we go beyond the story many already know. Amanda shares how losing the love of her life has changed her idea of love itself, and what it's like to seek new connections while carrying the weight of that experience. She opens up about the complexities of dating after loss, how it affects potential partners, and what she truly wants moving forward. She also reflects on the ways her faith carried her through unimaginable loss, how her relationship with spirituality has evolved, and what it means to surrender when life takes an unexpected turn.Zac, Jay, and Amanda dive deep into resilience, healing, and learning to embrace the next chapter while honoring the past--a conversation about faith, hope, and finding light in the darkest moments.To learn more about Amanda's new wellness supplement brand: https://properhealth.com/pages/about-properConnect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

My guest today is Holly Rogoschewsky. Holly Rose Holland is an intuitive author, growth transition coach, international speaker, former spouse, parent, and grief survivor. While moving through the grief process herself, she noticed that people often become stuck when processing death, difficult relationships, employment-related issues, and even changes within themselves. “With grief, it is rare when someone knows and understands the synergy of deep grief combined with the intense desire to truly live freely.” “You will learn so much about yourself as an author.” Holly's first book is called Keep Moving, Creating a Life After Loss (2020, Sapphire Seahorse Press). Having always loved writing, she finds writing to be therapeutic for herself and others, as a means of expressing grief and creating a new life. Holly was surprised when writing activated the awareness of everything being energy. She practises writing, wellness, and woo, and travels to share her gifts with the world. Her first international best-seller is Unstoppable Stories (2024, MMH Press) and it joins best-sellers Hear Us Roar, Lion (2024, KMD Books) and The Business of Connection (2020, ENE). Holly's novel on domestic violence is being edited, publication date to be announced. Her children's book is progressing. This story has been waiting to be told since Holly's childhood.

She later went on to design the Life Reentry Institute, which helps individuals move more effectively through grief and times of transition.

Christina shares her personal experience with healing after losing her husband to stage 4 colon cancer and how she created the Life Reentry Model. Christina also explains the importance of acknowledging our invisible losses to experience a more rich and evolved life.
