Why Everything Feels Disrupted: Navigating Chaos, Shadow Work & Expansion

You've been listening to There's More to This. If the conversation opened something for you, begin here. Grief doesn't only arrive when someone dies.    It comes when a relationship ends. When the kids leave home. When a family turns away. When the body changes, the seasons shift, or the life you pictured never comes.    In the first episode of There's More to This, Deb Sheppard and Dana talk openly about the many kinds of grief we carry without ever calling it grief. The kind we tuck away and keep busy around. The kind that waits.    Deb shares what it was like to lose her entire community after leaving a strict religion. Dana uncovers a grief she didn't know she held until this conversation. Together, they speak candidly about Deb's late husband's suicide and the judgment and silence that often surround that loss.    In this episode, you'll hear: -Why so many of us place a lifetime of unnamed grief on one painful moment -How the word "should" keeps us from asking what we truly need today -Why well-meaning phrases like "everything happens for a reason" can deepen the hurt -How guilt can feel like connection, and what Deb sees as a medium about our bond with loved ones in spirit   This is not a tidy conversation. It's a real one.   For the ones who were told to move on. For the ones still waiting to feel it. For the ones who sense their grief runs deeper than a single loss.   The episode closes with a question to carry with you: What has grief asked you to become that you never would have chosen for yourself?   Let it stay with you. There is no need to rush the answer.   Follow There's More to This so you'll be here for what comes next. 🔗 Want more support? https://debsheppard.com/deb-sheppard-story/   ✨ Waitlist: The SOULution – 6-Month Coaching for Women https://courses.debsheppard.com/the-soulution-6-month-women-s-coaching-program-1   ✨ Join my Virtual Small Group Readings  https://debsheppard.com/sp/virtual-small-group-readings/    Let's Connect! 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DebSheppardPsychicMedium     📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debsheppardpsychicmedium/    ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrkSMFGXHmaHj3TGUlWLGIA   🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@psychicmediumdebsheppard     About Deb Sheppard Deb Sheppard is a renowned Spiritual Teacher & Psychic Medium with over 20 years of experience helping people heal emotional wounds and connect to the Other Side.
