WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and Welcome! I’m Shauna Hoffman.

We talk so much about relationships and we have yet to really talk about one of the most important relationships…friendships! Women to women friendships, women and men friendships… and all of the non-binary friendships that we have. I can’t imagine my life without my friends. I am unbelievably lucky to have a tribe! And though this tribe may change over the years they are certainly the beings in my life that fill my soul, accept me for who I am, call me out on my shit, force me to grow, make me laugh, hold me when I cry, and drag me out to do all the things in life that give me joy. Ok and get me in trouble along the way! I like to say that I “collect friends”. Soul sisters, soul brothers, soul mates, soul friends.

I came to this podcast today because this earth lost one of my divine friends, Richard Sutphen. To the metaphysical world, he was known as Dick Sutphen. He spoke on reincarnation. He wrote the best sellers “Past Lives, Future Loves” and “You Were Born Again To Be Together”, and so many more. But to me, he was a soulmate of the most fascinating kind. Have you ever met someone and had this crazy feeling like you have known them for a million years? There is a feeling like, “Hi, oh there you are!” And you are kind of flabbergasted because you have never met this person before? Richard wrote so many books on reincarnation. I have always believed in it. But the day I met him it was crazy! We both felt it right away. He looked at me and all of a sudden handed me 10 of his books and his email address so we could talk and talk and talk about them. And that was the beginning of a friendship that touched me deeply. We would email late at night and talk about life. We would meet up for lunch and just talk for hours about love, dreams, the people in our lives, and our learning lessons from them. And mostly we would make each other laugh! I hadn’t talked to Richard in over 6 months. Then I found out last night about his passing. I can’t help but feel sad knowing he is gone from this earth. This brilliant bright being. My friend. But, then again, in all truth, I believe everything that he shared with the world and what he taught me… That we WILL meet again.

So that brought me to this podcast. Friendship. Divine, fabulous, hard, and soulful. Please enjoy!
