🧭 What We Explore:

Why suicide is misunderstood. We often shift blame and miss warning signs when someone dies by suicide. Brett challenges the stigma and reveals how real compassion means taking the time to truly listen.

Patterns, pain & spiritual awakening. Brett shares how his jealousy and relationship sabotage were rooted in childhood trauma—and how energy work helped him release those patterns from the body and soul.

Healing stored trauma through the body. Emotions often live in places like the heart, colon, or kidneys. Brett explains how identifying and releasing this pain with breath, touch, and spiritual guidance can change lives instantly.

Reconnecting with loved ones beyond the veil. Grief doesn’t have to end in disconnection. Brett offers a dream ritual to connect with passed loved ones, proving that love—and consciousness—transcends the physical.

Soul contracts, grief & letting go. We discuss how every soul has its own path—even if it ends in tragedy. Instead of blame, can we choose presence, gratitude, and spiritual growth?
