Susan Grau's story begins with a life-changing act of unkindness.
When Susan was nearly five years old, she was locked inside a freezer by older children, leading to a near-death experience that she says transformed her understanding of life, love, and human connection. Today, Susan is an acclaimed medium, soul healer, grief expert, speaker, and author of Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons.
In this healing conversation, Susan joins host Robert Peterpaul to share how one of the most traumatic moments of her childhood became the catalyst for a lifetime of helping others heal. Together, they explore the relationship between kindness, intuition, fear, self-worth, and presence... and why the smallest acts of compassion can have a ripple effect far beyond what we realize.
Plus, Robert surprises Susan with special guest: Casting Director Alexa Zappia of <a href="https://www.rocksofunity.com/">Rocks of Unity</a>. 
Whether you're curious about near-death experiences, looking to deepen your intuition, or simply seeking a reminder of the power of kindness, this conversation offers plenty of insight, hope, and heart.
In positive podcast episode, you'll learn:
• What Susan's near-death experience taught her about kindness and purpose • How to tell the difference between fear and intuition • Why being present is the key to unlocking your inner wisdom • The surprising connection between self-talk and self-kindness • How to release attachment to outcomes and focus on the "footwork" • Why silence can be one of the greatest gifts for personal growth • The small daily acts that can make someone feel seen, loved, and valued
SUSAN GRAU is a Healer, Renowned Body, Mind and Spirit Intuitive, Inspirational Speaker, and Hay House Bestselling Author. Susan’s journey began following a profound near-death experience at just four and a half years old. This pivotal moment in her life awakened her unique healing abilities, allowing her to connect with spirits from the other side.

Tony-Winner Michael Arden (Broadway's The Lost Boys): Time to Kill ('Em with Kindness)

Elizabeth Gillies (Dynasty) is here to celebrate 200 episodes of The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul podcast! 
Welcome to AOK 200, friends. To celebrate this milestone, actress, singer, Broadway star, and Ginger Ale's #1 fan Liz Gillies joins Robert in the Welcome to Times Square studio for a wildly fun and heartfelt conversation. From acts of kindness on the set of Dynasty and backstage at Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway to what we can learn from older generations, Liz reminds us why honesty may be the kindest act of all.
The two Jersey kids dive deep into kind waters, covering everything from child acting, Broadway mishaps, and comfort TV shows all the way to witchy intuition, social media chaos, backstage hijinks, and the emotional support powers of - you guessed it - Canada Dry ginger ale.
This positive podcast episode features:
<ul>
 <li>The life-changing sacrifices Liz's parents made for her as child actor</li>
 <li>Liz's future Broadway dream roles, including Winifred in Hocus Pocus the musical and an immersive Dynasty musical?</li>
 <li>Special surprises from her star friends Seth MacFarlane and Elaine Hendrix</li>
</ul>
Plus: ADHD tangents, disco naps, miniatures, Real Housewives, Love on the Spectrum, and one very ambitious immersive Dynasty pitch. This episode is positively unhinged in the best way — a reminder that kindness is simply showing up.
 
A big shoutout to friends of the AOK who made this episode possible, namely:
<ul>
 <li>
<a href="https://www.kindnessisfree.org/">Kindness is Free</a> empowers the next generation of youth by instilling the values of respect, equality and compassion for others.</li>
 <li>Powered by <a href="https://welcome-to-times-square.com/">Welcome to Times Square</a>, the billboard experience that lets YOU be a star for a day. </li>
</ul>
Special shoutout to our favorite <a href="https://www.schmackarys.com/">Schmackary's Cookies</a> and longtime listener Jen of Jen's Pretty Pegs, who helped us surprise Liz with a beautiful kind act.
