If you’ve ever lost someone or something important to you, you know how devastating the emotional burden of loss can be.  Imagine you’re on a hike while carrying a massive backpack, except you’re stuck and struggling to move forward with all the weight on your shoulders. The worst part is, that weight can rear its ugly head in your relationships with your family and friends if you haven’t learned how to deal with that burden.  That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce you to today’s guest, AmarAtma Khalsa.
