Episode #007 The Alchemy of Grief with Joya Sosnowski

In this episode, sound healer Joya Sosnowski shares her grief story, including the death of her 18-year-old son Weston. In this honest and inspiring conversation with Laura, Joya shares how grief has become a pathway to deeper awareness and spiritual connection. Joya discusses the intuitive sense she had before Weston's accident, the layered emotions surrounding his upcoming birthday, and the significant moments that have shaped her journey with grief. Joya explains how her practices—drumming, movement, and meditation—have helped her stay grounded, while experiencing profound pain and simultaneously maintaining an openness to life's deeper mysteries.

This conversation explores territory beyond typical grief discussions: how death can shift our perspectives, how connection continues beyond physical presence, and how embracing difficult emotions might actually expand our capacity for living fully. For those navigating loss or supporting someone through grief, this episode offers insights not for "moving on" after a death, but for allowing it to inform a more meaningful relationship with life itself.
