Description:

In this soulful and insightful solo episode, Michelle Walters welcomes grief expert and Inca medicine wheel teacher Terry Stout to explore how we move from being outer-referenced victims of life to inner-powered creators of peace. Together, they unpack how thoughts, emotions, and physiological reactions play distinct roles in how we interpret life’s toughest events—especially grief. Terry explains the difference between emotions and heart-centered feelings and reveals how tuning into the softness of the heart can shift our entire experience.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a masterclass in reclaiming your balance in uncertain times, recognizing inner wisdom, and transforming the way you respond to life’s challenges. Whether you're navigating loss, job transitions, or collective overwhelm, this episode offers a grounded path to serenity, clarity, and self-knowing.
