From Unimaginable Loss to Radiant Living with Vickie Menendez

When life shatters, can love still lead? In this tender, truth-telling conversation, my guest Vickie Menendez — a mother who’s lost four children — shows us how grief can become a doorway to radiant, embodied living.

In this episode of Fire and Soul, I welcome inspirational speaker, Soul Midwife, and author Vickie Menendez to explore what it really means to live again after unimaginable loss. Vickie shares the sacred threads of her story — from the passing of her children and father to the soul contracts, somatic healing, and spiritual devotion that carried her back to life. You’ll hear practical ways to be with grief in the body, create a “beautiful goodbye” visualization, and rebuild nervous-system capacity so presence and connection become possible again. This is a conversation for anyone standing in the in-between: tender, reverent, and full of quiet courage.

I also share a glimpse of Soul Work Synergy, my newest monthly live community where we explore one Gene Key at a time through somatic practice and spiritual devotion. It’s a living rhythm of insight, integration, and spiritual embodiment that I can’t wait to invite you into.

We cover:

Grief as initiation: moving from survival to soulful rebirth

Soul contracts and continuing bonds beyond the veil

Somatic tools that actually help (breathwork, vagal toning, MAP, Yin)

How stored emotion becomes pain — and how to unwind it

The “Beautiful Goodbye” practice to reframe final memories

Parenting, partnership, and community in seasons of loss

Finding the gold in a painful origin story (music, frequency, and safety)

I've been working with their flower elixirs for three years. I've referred hundreds of bottles and every single person says the same thing: OBSESSED.

These aren't essential oils. They're liquid infusions of wildflowers that work on a vibrational level, regulating your nervous system, sharpening your intuition, and shifting your emotional state. And what I can tell you is this: the flowers know things before you do.
