Grieving Awake with Joya
Grieving Awake is a podcast about awakening the heart through life's sacred thresholds. It's an exploration of what it means to listen to the soul and become more fully human through grief, loss, love, and the experiences that change us forever.
Through conversations that weave together consciousness, grief, contemplative practice, intuition, mysticism, science, and the mystery of being human, we explore how life's greatest thresholds can awaken us to a deeper relationship with ourselves, each other, and Spirit.
Every conversation is an invitation to become more heart-led, more intuitively guided, and more deeply connected to Spirit.
