Grief doesn't adhere to a schedule.

It comes in waves, in quiet moments, and sometimes in the most unexpected ways.

My guest today Vicki Holton has walked through many forms of grief, each unique in its own weight.

Now, she faces a new and deeply painful chapter: the anticipatory grief of knowing her son lives with a life-limiting heart condition.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the complexities of grieving—what it looks like, how it evolves, and what might lie ahead.

While this episode holds sorrow, it is also woven with hope, strength, and unexpected light.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode we welcome Grant Harris, a gifted medium who has dedicated his life to helping people find peace, closure, and healing through spiritual connection.

As someone who bridges the gap between the physical world and the spirit world, Grant shares how mediumship can be a powerful tool in the grieving process.

He is known for his compassionate, grounded approach to spiritual connection.

He works with individuals and groups to help them find comfort and clarity after loss and is passionate about helping people understand that they are never truly alone.

Together, we explore how connecting with loved ones who have died can offer validation, comfort, and sometimes even the permission to move forward. Whether you're a sceptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers compassionate insight into how mediumship can provide hope for those navigating the pain of loss.

What We Cover in This Episode:

What a medium is and how Grant discovered his abilities

Common misconceptions and fears around mediumship

Real-life stories of how spirit communication has helped the grieving

How validation from spirit can ease guilt, unanswered questions, and unresolved emotions

Tips for those who are curious or seeking a session with a medium

The importance of ethical, compassionate practice in spiritual work

Why It Matters:

Grief is often filled with lingering "what ifs," regrets, and a yearning for continued connection. Mediumship, when practiced responsibly, can offer reassurance that our loved ones are still with us in spirit and that love truly transcends death. Grant’s work illustrates how these messages can become a profound part of the healing journey.
