Summary:
Today’s Episode features Part 3 of my interview with international Speaker and Transformational workshop leader Dr Sue Morter as we discuss how to create loving unconditional stability to help your child heal.
In the last 2 episodes, Dr Sue introduced us to her work, taught us a belly breathing technique to help us get grounded into our core, our wisdom centre, to learn how to pull away from the fears and back into the core of our being, and a meditation technique to help us to tap into Spirit Essence to know that all will be okay. She then explained her Bus Stop conversation that gives families a deeper, bigger perspective on life which leads to spiritual healing and a sense of wholeness.
This episode is the conclusion of that conversation where Dr Sue shares how we can create loving unconditional stability to help our children heal.
I am so grateful to Dr Sue for all the wisdom she has shared with us. I love and appreciate the reminders of what this life is really about and how to refocus our thoughts, minds and hearts on the energies of love and gratitude to help us heal and help our children heal.
I hope you will enjoy Dr Sue’s final bits of wisdom and advice as much as I have.

Best advice from Dr. Sue Morter:
I invite you to flood your child with the unconditionality of “I love you and therefore I do not worry about you”.If we can step into this soulful bus stop conversation and know that there’s less reason to worry because this divine plan is unfolding through these circumstances too, then I’m not going to be so fearful.We have to unattach from identifying as just this physical dimensional version of ourselves.Links and Resources mentioned in the episode:

Summary:
Today’s Episode features Part 2 of my interview with international Speaker and Transformational workshop leader Dr Sue Morter as she takes us through a meditation process that shows us how to tap into Spirit Essence to know that all will be okay.
In last week’s episode, she introduced us to the belly breathing technique to get grounded into our core, our wisdom center, how to pull away from the fears and back into the core of our being. The continuation of that interview brings us straight into the Mula Bandha technique to help us to anchor ourselves into a heart centered feeling of love.
In this episode, I love Dr Sue’s Bus stop conversation. It resonates with everything I have experienced in life. I truly believe that everything I have been through, the loss of my mother and sister in a car accident when I was 9, the loss of my daughter to cancer, difficult relationships, the heartaches and dark nights of the soul have taught me all the lessons I needed to become the strong spiritual guided woman I am today. Having that perspective had given me healing and a sense of wholeness. I hope you too can appreciate what Dr Sue is sharing in this conversation and enjoy learning these techniques as much as I have.

Best Advice from Dr. Sue Morter:
By coming inward, we allow our five senses to pick up on the essential self, the spirit of being within … [and] begin to see that there is a perfect harmonious balance to what is happening.Each one of us is coming with one common thing and that is to awaken to our true magnificent, soulful self, and our individual versions of that show up as our own life path, our own life experiences.[we] always turn around and look at what it built within [ourselves], and within [our] family and who [we] became, and [we] come to a place of gratitude at some point for the circumstances that [we] have been encountering that [we’ve] gone through.Links and Resources mentioned in this episode:

Summary:
Today’s Episode features Part 1 of my interview with international Speaker and Transformational workshop leader Dr. Sue Morter as we discuss how to support your child without being stuck in your own fear and grief. I met Dr. Sue back in 2013 while attending an event hosted by Janet Attwood. What struck me most about Dr. Sue and the concepts and ideas that she teaches is the way she describes the perfection of life and our abilities to embrace that life and find healing and wholeness no matter our circumstances. I love the way she describes how to bring that wholeness back into our being when we feel so fractured coping with life. I am so thankful for the beautiful wisdom Dr. Sue has to share with us. The reminder to stay focused on our wisdom center and stay rooted, grounded in the body through those deep breaths in the belly. This episode is just part one of three parts of my interview with Dr. Sue. I hope you will enjoy Dr. Sue’s stories and analogies as much I have.

How to call on your village to help inspire you when your child has cancer
My Interview with Rev Kevin Ross – Episode #10 Hope, Strength & Courage Podcast
“I want to encourage parents right now to summon your village. They still love you. They still want to support you.” ~ Rev. Kevin Ross
Summary: Today’s episode features my interview with Reverend Kevin Kitrell Ross, senior minister of Unity of Sacramento.
In our last episode with Dr Geoff McCowage we talked about the importance of accepting help from your child’s medical team, today we will hear Reverend Kevin talk about the importance of surrounding ourselves with a community and allowing them the opportunity to serve us.
Kevin is such an amazing soul. I love his humble generous nature and his wisdom and insights about how we can look for and receive support from the community around us, be it family, friends, our church or spiritual community.
Best Advice from Rev Kevin Ross
Call on you extended village to help Never lose sight of the promise of your child because if your child is even with us for a window of time, there’s a purpose that your child’s life was gifted to us for … we don’t want to lose sight of that.Love is a healing agency in and of itself. Love has the power to heal and sometimes healing, just for everyone’s information, sometimes healing does not end in life on this earth plane. Sometimes healing happens through the releasing of that outer shell because it no longer serves, and the soul gets to expand back out into its infinity, into the ether and then return, as life in some other form, or return to us as inspiration to keep the fight going.Links and Resources mentioned in this episode:

Best Advice from Dr. Geoff McCowage
Think of this as a big mission. You’re going to need to be flexible, able to change your plansYou need a social worker. You’ve got emotions just like everyone else. Social workers know about counselling and psychology. Don’t be too proud to have a social worker.Speak up when you need to but try to have a cooperative mentality.
