From Alcoholism to Spirit Fiction: Kathleen Ready Dayan on Love, Loss and Life Beyond Death
Episode Overview
- Kathleen describes hitting a severe low with alcoholism in her twenties and credits a powerful spiritual encounter with helping her seek rehab and long-term sobriety.
- Experiences around her sister Mary’s death, including vivid dreams and later visitations, reshaped Kathleen’s view that loved ones continue beyond physical life.
- Channelled messages and spirit guides, including "Standing Bear", gave Kathleen a sense that death is a transition rather than an ending and eased deep grief for family members.
- Her novels *Before We Were Born* and *Meet Me in Heaven* use fictional soulmates to share concepts of reincarnation, ongoing love and the soul’s journey drawn from mediumship.
- Kathleen stresses that, according to her experiences, people are "more than they think" and are eternally loved by both guides and those who have passed on.
“"The best message is just, you know, you're more than you think you are... and you're always going to be loved."”
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of addiction, loss and what might happen after we die. This conversation on UK Health Radio’s *Feng Shui Your Way* brings together Feng Shui consultant and Chinese astrologer Janine Lowe and author/medium Kathleen Ready Dayan for a heartfelt chat that blends alcoholism recovery with spiritual experiences.
You’ll hear Kathleen describe her twenties as a "very, very dark" time of alcoholism, depression and being told she was "on the brink of death" from poisoning her body. Everything shifted after a vivid encounter with a loving spirit named Elizabeth and the uncanny moment of hearing a child on TV say, "this beautiful woman named Elizabeth came to see me". That apparent intervention led Kathleen into rehab and onto a sober, "healthy, normal" path she’s stayed on ever since.
From there, the talk moves into mediumship, spirit guides and past lives. Kathleen shares how warnings in dreams seemed to foreshadow her sister Mary’s sudden death, and how Mary later appeared to her with "two souls walking behind her" to explain she had more to learn on the other side. These experiences eased Kathleen’s fear of death and softened deep grief for both her sister and her mother.
Kathleen explains how she channels with the support of her husband Don, her protective spirit guide "Standing Bear", and firm boundaries with a gatekeeper guide. She then introduces her "spirit fiction" novels *Before We Were Born* and *Meet Me in Heaven*, stories of soulmates whose bond continues beyond lifetimes, weaving in themes like fetal alcohol syndrome, reincarnation and the idea that "you’re going to step from this room into another room" rather than truly die.
The thread running through everything is simple: love endures, connection isn’t broken by death, and even in addiction or grief, "you were eternally loved". If you’re wrestling with loss, curious about mediumship, or rebuilding life after alcohol, could this gentle, hopeful conversation be the reminder you need that you haven’t really lost the people you love?
