Still Connected: A Son’s Voice from the Afterlife

Still Connected: A Son’s Voice from the Afterlife

This week I'm talking to Kim Hodous about her book 'Beyond Grief: How a Son’s Afterlife Connection Transformed a Mother’s Loss into a Remarkable Spiritual Journey'.

Loss is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn’t mark an ending...

The most difficult emotions you feel are the ones that make you human.

There’s no happiness without pain, no joy without loss… Yet when you lose someone you love, the pain can be so all-consuming that you forget what it’s like to feel anything else.

Loss is a fundamental part of life. Not one of us will make it through without losing someone we love. We must all feel the weight of this pain… Yet it’s possible to hold it while opening yourself up to happiness and peace at the same time.

Kim Hodous lost her son Rob when he was just 29 years old, the second of two children she would lose far sooner than she ever expected.

She was shattered, and despite a long quest to cultivate happiness after her first loss as a parent, she found it hard to see how she would ever find happiness again.

But Rob had other plans for her.

When he proved to her that he was still around, she began communicating with him.

This book is their collaboration.

Detailing Kim’s remarkable spiritual journey as she came to terms with her loss and began to build a new relationship with her son across the spiritual realm, this book is a beacon of light for anyone processing a loss.

Perhaps you’re in the throes of grief, or maybe you’re interested in exploring what lies on the other side of death. Either way, this captivating memoir has something to light your path and remind you of the place death has in the full human experience.

Bio

Kim Hodous is a motivational speaker, bestselling author, award-winning entrepreneur, and spiritual mentor who knows a thing or two about joy - and loss.

For over 15 years, she traveled the country as The Happiness Speaker, lighting up stages with high-energy keynotes on success, resilience, and finding joy in the chaos. She also built a 7-figure business from her kitchen table, proving that you don’t need an MBA or a corner office to play big.

Then life called her even deeper.

After losing two of her five children - her daughter Chelsea to cancer and her son Rob to an accidental overdose - Kim’s world cracked open. But what emerged was not despair. It was a doorway. In her most recent book, Beyond Grief, she shares the astonishing and often humorous conversations she began having with her son from the other side - offering a new perspective on love, connection, and what it really means to live.

Whether she’s teaching practical habits for outrageous success or guiding grieving mothers back to joy, Kim’s message is this: Love never dies. Happiness is a habit. And there’s nothing love and a little gratitude can’t overcome.
