🎧 Episode Summary:

In this deeply moving and inspiring conversation, Rebekah Shackney welcomes therapist, teacher, and spiritual guide Deah Curry to explore her powerful journey through healing, transformation, and acceptance of terminal illness. With wisdom rooted in transpersonal psychology, naturopathic medicine, and Buddhist mindfulness, Deah shares how she has cultivated peace, equanimity, and even curiosity in the face of a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Together, Rebekah and Deah dive into:

  • 🌿 The power of transpersonal hypnotherapy, flower essence remedies, and homeopathy
  • 🌌 Exploring past lives, soul purpose, and the concept of planning lifetimes
  • 💫 How non-attachment and equanimity shape Deah’s outlook on illness and death
  • 🛠️ Tools and metaphors like Spoon Theory for managing energy with chronic illness
  • 🤝 The journey from radical self-sufficiency to opening up and letting others support
  • 💬 Teaching about grief, and how talking openly about death can ease fear—for ourselves and others
  • 🧘‍♀️ Viewing life—and death—as a journey rather than a battle

Despite the heavy topics, Deah approaches the conversation with humor, humility, and lightness. Her gentle challenge to conventional fears around death will leave listeners feeling more grounded, present, and open to their own healing journeys—no matter where they are in life.
