The Hemp Del Soul Podcast

What if the scariest part of death isn’t the moment itself, but how alone we think it will be? I sit down with Maurice Israel, a registered nurse, longtime hospice clinician, and psychic medium, to talk through the one claim that stopped me in my tracks: he says that in every death he witnessed, someone was there to greet the person on the other side.We get practical and specific about what these words actually mean. Maurice breaks down intuition as a natural human signal, psychic ability as an “enhanced” way of reading and translating energy, and mental mediumship as connecting with loved ones who have crossed over. We also dig into the clairs like clairvoyance and clairsentience, how spirit communication can feel like a distinct vibration, and why training and attunement matter when you’re trying to separate your own thoughts from what you’re receiving.Grief and healing run through everything. We talk about how mediumship can bring solace without forcing belief, what happens when a difficult or unwanted communicator comes forward, and why delivery and consent are essential when messages aren’t just “I love you.” Maurice also shares how structured bereavement support can look, including grief retreats with organizations like the Forever Family Foundation that bring together mediums, therapists, scientists, and research.If you’re curious about mediumship, spirituality, afterlife communication, or grief healing and you want a grounded conversation instead of theatrics, this one is for you.

Ever wish you could search the root cause of a stubborn life pattern the way you search the web? We sit down with Akashic healer Caroline Sequin to demystify the Akashic Records and show how this “soul-level archive” becomes a practical tool for clarity, healing, and forward motion. No airy abstractions—Caroline keeps it grounded, walking through how clients identify vows, contracts, and past-life echoes that still shape today’s choices, then clear them without reliving the pain.Caroline shares her path into the work, the moments of uncanny guidance, and the types of people who find the Records helpful—especially those who’ve done therapy or coaching yet still feel stuck. We talk about the felt sense of truth when a message lands, the surprising ways sessions unfold, and why integration can be as simple as hydration, rest, and self-kindness. You’ll hear stories of improved relationships, renewed confidence, and business breakthroughs when hidden fears ease and old narratives release.We also explore the structure behind the scenes: planes of energy, why Caroline keeps her readings “earthbound” and focused on what moves life and business now, and how group ceremonies amplify change. Full and new moon circles blend community with Akashic clearing, while myofascial release addresses how the body holds memory—letting mind, energy, and fascia reset together. When additional support is needed, the Records often point clients toward psychotherapy, reinforcing a holistic approach that respects both soul and nervous system.If you’re curious where your pattern began, what lesson it carries, and how to move past it gently, this conversation offers a clear starting point. Caroline explains how to frame questions, what to expect during a reading, and how shifts may unfold over days or months. Ready to lighten the load and make choices from a steadier center?

Demystifying CBD: The Supplement That's Changing LivesThe confusion surrounding CBD is real—is it a drug? Will it get you high? Does it actually work? In this eye-opening episode of the Hemp Del Sol podcast, host Marilisa Lawless cuts through the noise with straightforward answers to the questions everyone's asking."The biggest myth about CBD is that it's a drug and that it is marijuana," Marilisa explains as she walks us through the fundamental differences between hemp and marijuana. Despite both being cannabis plants, only one gets you high—and it's not CBD. This distinction matters tremendously for anyone seeking natural relief without psychoactive effects.We dive deep into the science of different consumption methods, with Marilisa revealing why tinctures offer superior effectiveness compared to gummies or capsules. "The tincture is the best for bioavailability," she notes, explaining how the oil bypasses digestive processes that slow down other methods. Whether you're a senior citizen comfortable with capsules, a middle-aged adult seeking maximum effectiveness, or someone younger drawn to the approachability of gummies, you'll discover which option aligns with your needs.Most valuable is the practical guidance on proper usage. The "go low, go slow" approach Marilisa advocates prevents the common mistake of trying CBD once and abandoning it when instant results don't materialize. Within a week of consistent use at gradually adjusted dosages, most people discover their sweet spot. Unlike many pharmaceuticals, CBD appears to have no serious side effects or lethal dose—making it a supplement worth considering for those seeking relief from anxiety, sleep issues, or inflammation.Have you been curious about trying CBD but felt overwhelmed by conflicting information? This episode cuts through the confusion with expert insights delivered in accessible, non-technical language.

Have you ever walked into a space and felt something was just "off"? That murky, uncomfortable energy that seems to linger in corners of your home? You're not alone—and there are simple, practical solutions to transform your living space into a sanctuary of calm and positive energy.In this illuminating conversation, we dive deep into the ancient wisdom and modern applications of energy clearing for your home. From the strategic placement of crystals to the physiological benefits of CBD, we explore a comprehensive approach to creating environments that support your wellbeing on multiple levels.Discover why quartz has been used across cultures for thousands of years—even found at the corners of Egyptian pyramids—and how different crystals serve unique purposes in your space. Learn about black tourmaline's ability to block negative energy (perfect for entryways!), selenite's capacity to absorb negativity, and the fascinating properties of "super crystal" Moldavite that opens all energy centers simultaneously.The science behind these practices isn't mere superstition. As Jeremy notes, "This isn't woo-woo magic—it's quantum energy," referencing centuries of documentation across various traditions. Whether you prefer smoke-free clearing methods or traditional smudging techniques like sage or Palo Santo, we cover diverse approaches suitable for different preferences and sensitivities.Perhaps most compelling is how external energy work complements internal wellbeing. CBD helps address physiological foundations like inflammation and anxiety, creating optimal conditions for energetic practices to work effectively. And don't underestimate the power of simply decluttering your space—often the most accessible first step toward energetic transformation.Whether you're a skeptic or a seasoned practitioner, these practical approaches offer tangible benefits without requiring belief in metaphysical concepts. As one visitor to Marilisa's new space confessed, "I don't get it, but it feels so calming that I just had to stop and take a deep breath."

Marilisa opens up about dismantling decades of memories, the tears shed in private moments, and the celebration held to honor the space that had been home to countless healing sessions and personal milestones.Beyond just telling her story, this episode offers practical wisdom for anyone facing significant change. We explore how growth requires moving from comfortable-familiar territory into uncomfortable-unfamiliar spaces, the power of visualization in creating new beginnings, and specific coping strategies that helped Marilisa navigate her transition. Jeremy poses a fascinating question: "Could this disruption be exactly what needed to happen as part of a grand design?"Whether you're facing a career shift, relationship change, identity transformation, or any major life pivot, this conversation provides both comfort and actionable insights. The most powerful takeaway? Change is where growth happens - and sometimes the universe has to push us when we're not ready to jump on our own.

Navigating the world of CBD products can feel overwhelming with countless options claiming to deliver relief and wellness benefits. How do you know what to choose and what's actually worth your money?Marilisa Lawless breaks down everything you need to know about CBD products, starting with the fundamental differences between topicals and tinctures. Topicals deliver targeted relief directly to specific pain sites through roll-ons, lotions, and gels, while tinctures offer whole-body benefits through sublingual absorption. She explains why CBD's anti-inflammatory properties work so effectively for pain management without psychoactive effects.The conversation dives deep into the crucial distinction between full spectrum and isolate products. Full spectrum contains the complete profile of beneficial hemp compounds including the legally allowed trace amount of THC (less than 0.3%) that helps activate your body's cannabinoid receptors. Meanwhile, isolate products, containing only CBD molecules, provide peace of mind for those concerned about drug testing or THC sensitivity.Marilisa shares wisdom gained from years of experience, emphasizing the importance of proper dosing ("start slow, go low"), product quality verification through third-party testing, and matching product selection to your specific needs. Whether you're dealing with localized pain, sleep issues, anxiety, or general wellness concerns, the episode provides clear guidance on finding the right CBD solution.The most valuable takeaway? Ask questions before purchasing. Find reputable sources who take time to understand your specific situation rather than pushing products. With the right information and quality CBD products, you might find the natural relief you've been searching for without unwanted side effects or psychoactive experiences.Have questions about which CBD product might be right for you?

Ever wondered why therapists also need therapists? This revealing conversation dives deep into the critical role support systems play in our lives, regardless of profession or expertise. Our guest therapist shares powerful personal insights about the importance of having trusted people who can provide perspective when we're too close to our own challenges.The discussion explores how finding the right mentors for different aspects of our lives creates a comprehensive support network. Rather than expecting one person to fulfill all our needs, we benefit from building connections with individuals who excel in specific areas—whether that's meditation, spiritual guidance, or personal growth. As our guest beautifully explains, "I'm not expecting one person to be an expert in everything in my life."We tackle the fascinating concept that "beliefs are just things we think over and over again," highlighting how external perspectives help us break free from limiting thought patterns. The metaphor of a therapist as a "coach on the sidelines of life" perfectly illustrates how outside viewpoints can transform our approach to challenges.The conversation takes an unexpected turn into comparing natural healing modalities with pharmaceutical interventions. You'll learn why lavender can be scientifically as effective as certain prescription medications and why plant medicine isn't "alternative medicine" but the original healing practice.Most powerfully, the discussion reveals that genuine connection might be the most healing aspect of being human. Finding communities where you feel truly heard without judgment—where others believe in your capacity to find your own answers—creates the foundation for deep healing and personal growth. Whether you're struggling to find your tribe or hesitant to seek support, this episode offers practical guidance for building the connections that will sustain you through life's challenges.Explore our wide range of organic products here: https://www.hempdelsoul.com/ or email us at [email protected]
