Summary
Deva spent 20 years teaching music & French and running her own performance academy to young singers & actors. Life changed drastically for Deva when she lost her brother in 2013 to suicide. The trajectory of her life catapulted her into realms she wasn’t expecting. On her grief journey, she tapped back into a gift she had since childhood and it was her brother who helped her get it back. Deva is now a psychic medium & grief coach helping others on their grief journeys teaching people that death is not a finality. Deva helps people tap into their own intuitive abilities to communicate with departed loved ones, sealing the gap between the human & spirit worlds.Deva's Notes from the Sidelines: We add to the stigma when we censor suicide speech; ignoring doesn't make it go away. There is a suicide every 40 seconds in the world. Fear makes people do unbelievable things, like abandon friends and family who've experienced loss. There needs to be mental health awareness in schools. We need to address it, talk about it, equip teachers with resources, and put systems in place so when something happens, there is a plan. Unprocessed trauma in the world is showing up as hurting self and others. You can't force someone to heal, but it's a losing battle when you're not even offering resources. When you see the amazing gifts in the world, ask yourself, "Why not me?" We tell kids to dream big and that they can grow up to be and do anything, but we aren't modeling that mentality for them. We're unhappy adults putting ourselves in boxes instead of looking at the limitless possibilities we could choose. Visualizing is a great way to get out aggression without inflicting violence. If you're struggling with emotional pain, find people who will love and support you without judgment; we need community to go through life. You will always survive, but you have an option to thrive.
