Beyond the Loss: Life and Identity After a Child Dies
Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.
If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.
What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.
After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.
That space is now Beyond the Loss.
This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.
If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.
I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.
You are welcome.

Episode 213: NLP, Hypnosis, and Shifting States with Andrea Lukac
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to the Other Side of Potential! Joining us in conversation today is Andrea Lukac, NLP specialist, hypnosis coach, and psychological counselor. Her work is rooted in helping people understand what triggers past trauma in order to overcome fear and judgment, and she is here today to share her wisdom on how neurolinguistic programming can be used to shift from one state to another, to overcome trauma and address our paradigms.
Andrea believes that the field of awareness that we have access to is like a grain of sand in a football field, and that by increasing our awareness, we can shift between emotional states to process difficult experiences. By anchoring positive feelings we can create neurological connections and access those emotions during challenging moments. While neurolinguistic programming can be used negatively, Andrea uses it to support clients to make positive psychological shifts in their lives.
With the understanding that subconscious patterns have a huge influence on our lives, Andrea helps her clients to address their troubles in a healthy way, with the ultimate goal of living in peace, acceptance, and love. She does this by focusing on boundary-setting and guiding clients to overcome what is troubling them to bring clarity, overcome overwhelm, and move beyond debilitating fear and shame. A powerful tool she introduces to her clients involves teaching them to communicate their needs powerfully and effectively.
