My guest today is Honey Booth, a musician who’s studying to be a counsellor, who lives in Western Australia. As soon as I read her email, I wanted to bring Honey on the show because her story about her bond with her mother that has only strengthened and deepened following her passing is one that I know will resonate with so many of you. This is especially true if you love or have loved someone who struggles with mental illness. Honey’s mum, Julie, passed away in 2016 aged only 50.  Yet death proved the gateway to a beautiful new relationship for Honey and her mum, the kind of relationship that was not available to them in real life. I hope you enjoy this episode, in which Honey and I discuss compassion, forgiveness, self-forgiveness, cycles of trauma and much more, including the extraordinary spiritual experience which sparked a profound healing.    Listen to Honey sing a raw version of her song, "Gardening the Constellations," written for her mum.   Connect with Karina Machado at karinamachado.com Buy the 10th anniversary edition of Spirit Sisters as a paperback at Booktopia.
