The Power of Intention, Grief, and Choice In this deeply moving and heartfelt episode of Soul Fusion, I sit down with Amy, a woman whose journey through love, loss, and transformation is nothing short of inspiring. Amy shares her beautiful love story with her late husband, Brian, and how an unexpected and devastating diagnosis changed everything. But rather than letting fear take over, they made a conscious choice—to live with intention. We dive into what it means to hold two emotions at once, how to navigate grief without letting it define you, and the power we have to choose how we show up in the face of loss. Amy's wisdom, born from her lived experience, is a guiding light for anyone navigating grief, supporting a loved one through it, or simply wanting to live with more purpose. Key Takeaways: The Power of Intentional Living – How Amy and Brian embraced every moment, even in the face of terminal illness. Grief & Joy Can Coexist – Understanding that sorrow and beauty are not mutually exclusive. How to Support Someone Through Loss – What truly helps and what well-meaning words can do more harm than good. Leaving a Legacy – How Amy's experience led her to create Walk the Red, a mission-driven company supporting those navigating terminal illness and loss. Memorable Moments: “You don't want to waste your pain. If you have to go through it, why not mine something valuable from it?” – Amy “We knew Brian was on a timer, but the truth is—we all are. The only difference is awareness.” – Amy “Grief is ugly, messy, and real. But so is love, laughter, and the choice to keep moving forward.” – Me Resources & Links: Amy's Book: Navigating Goodbye: A Guide for Those Blindsided by Terminal Illness  Amy's Website: Walk the Red → www.walkthered.com Amy's Facebook Group  HERE Connect with Me: Website: www.pennychiasson.com Instagram: @penny.chiasson

Listen to today's podcast... We take for granted our health and the health of our children.  But what if you are a family that has a child who is facing special challenges? Your child's health and well-being are always at the forefront of every decision that you make. Special Kids Day was put together to help families cope during the extra stress of the holidays. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Special Kids Day by showing your support for these special families: Provide the gift of time. You may be able to pick up items that would save a run to the mall or the grocery store for the family. Provide ready to eat meals for the ‘crazy' days…the days where it is non-stop appointments or that are especially difficult to cope. Let them know that you are there for their family.  It can be very isolating and lonely and true friends are hard to come by.  But don't wait to be asked, as it is hard for many parents of special needs children to reach out and ask for help. At the end of the day the health of our children is the most important thing to a parent. If you like today's resiliency tips, let me know. Want to find more strategies to coping with stress?

Peter shares his journey as a special needs dad and the challenges he faced when his daughter was diagnosed with a rare condition. He emphasizes the importance of advocating for your child and finding support in the special needs community. The conversation also touches on the need for acceptance and inclusion of special needs children in society. Peter highlights the role of fathers in setting an example for their children and being intentional in their actions and behaviors. In this conversation, Peter Marusca, NP and Jey discuss various topics related to fatherhood, health, and well-being. They touch on the importance of physical, mental, and spiritual health for fathers, and the impact it has on their families. They emphasize the need for open communication and seeking support when facing challenges. They also discuss the importance of early detection and seeking medical help for potential health issues, particularly in relation to cancer. Overall, the conversation highlights the significance of taking care of oneself in order to be the best father and role model for one's children. Takeaways Advocate for your child and be their voice in the medical system. Special needs children deserve acceptance and inclusion in society. Parents should teach their children empathy, kindness, and acceptance of others. Fathers play a crucial role in setting an example for their children and should be intentional in their actions and behaviors. Physical, mental, and spiritual health are all important for fathers to prioritize in order to be the best role models for their children. Open communication and seeking support from partners and loved ones is crucial for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. Early detection and seeking medical help for potential health issues, such as cancer, is essential for long-term health and well-being. Taking care of oneself is not selfish, but rather necessary for being a present and healthy father for one's children.

Arya Harris Keller has a BA (Hon) from the University of Toronto. She considered a career in academia but chose to marry and become an adoptive mom to two children instead. Her son has Written Output Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders. Her daughter has Reactive Attachment Disorder. Like most Special Parents, she has dedicated significant time – years – to researching and understanding her kids' issues, making her an unofficial expert of sorts. Arya also has a lifelong interest in spirituality and personal development. After a spiritual awakening, she found some amazing and profound teachers, who set her on the path of yoga, Enlightenment Intensives and Mind Clearing. She loves how Mind Clearing has a foundation in deep spiritual truth, but it remains secular, practical, and relevant to everyday life. She originally studied Mind Clearing to be a better mom, but she found a lifeline and her passion in this transformational work. After 20 years of marriage Arya divorced her husband and started over. She eventually remarried and immigrated to the USA. For the last 10 years she has been giving and receiving Mind Clearing sessions regularly while raising her family. She believes that behind every good Clearer is a good Clearer. She walks her talk, and it is her sacred honor to support other Special Moms (and Dads) on their own journeys of healing and self-discovery.

Parenting can be a challenging job, and it becomes even more demanding when it comes to raising children with special needs. Children with special needs often face unique challenges that require extra attention and support. They require a different approach to parenting that addresses their specific needs. Naked parenting is a unique quality that can benefit children with special needs. It refers to a parenting style that emphasizes honesty, vulnerability, and genuine communication between parents and children. In this essay, I will discuss how naked parenting can improve parent-child relationships and help children with special needs.  Naked parenting is a parenting style that encourages parents to be honest and transparent with their children. It encourages parents to be vulnerable and open about their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. It involves parents setting boundaries, being assertive, and also being willing to apologize when they make mistakes. This parenting technique can be especially helpful for children with special needs as it can build stronger connections between parents and children. It creates a safe space for children to be themselves, be heard, understood and feel validated. Are you still in shock that you are a parent of a special needs child? This show is for parents who are morning the loss of the life and child they thought they would have. For parents who are tired, lonely, and see no hope in sight? You will learn how to deal with your non-verbal child with a sensory processing disorder, seizures, meltdowns, haircuts, and family trips. Embark on a journey of consciousness, self-care & meditation. My name is Chad Ratliffe. I am a single father of 5 kids 6 years of age (8-14) and 2 with special needs. 5 years ago, in a nasty divorce, my depression led me to drug addiction and hopelessness.
