Hosted by Maile Navarro, your enthusiastic guide through the messy and mystical, this episode is all about energy—what it is, how it affects us, and why understanding it can change your life.
This time, Maile is joined by her unofficial emotional support human, Royce Perkins, whose calming presence and smooth voice might just save us all from emotional sp...2025-07-0145 minThe AfterWordsPress Start to Evolve—Player 2 Has Entered the AfterlifePress Start to Evolve — Player 2 Has Entered the Afterlife
Welcome back, fellow floaters. I’m Maile Navarro—professional overthinker, accidental psychic, and your grief-glitched tour guide through what I can only assume is a soul simulation coded by an overworked intern named Dick.
This week’s episode is personal, existential, slightly unhinged—and 100% solo. Royce is off doing things like earning a stable income and having a lunch break (must be nice), while I’m over here trying to figure out if Earth is:
a) hell,
b) a karmic escape room with no clues,

A true story about the song that saved me, the swing that held me, and the love I never stopped waiting for.
In this bonus episode, I’m sharing something I’ve never said out loud—about the late-night ritual that kept me going during some of the loneliest years of my life. A porch swing. A pair of headphones. A country song on repeat. And a love that lived quietly in my bones while the rest of my life demanded everything else.
This isn’t a brea...2025-06-0109 minThe AfterWordsSoul Contracts, Twin Flames and Everything Happens For A Reason (Except When It's Bullsh*t!)Hey there, welcome to The Afterwords! I’m Maile Navarro, and I promise you, this isn’t your typical feel-good podcast about enlightenment. Nope, we're diving into life's messy chaos because sometimes, all you can do is laugh through the tears.
This episode is a raw and roller coaster-esque exploration into the concept of soul contracts—a spiritual agreement you supposedly signed before being born. Think of it as a cosmic prenup. I'll take you through my relationship with my incredible son Kingston, who, even in his absence, continues to teach me life-altering lessons.
Losing Kingst...2025-04-2251 minThe AfterWordsUnworthy No More: Breaking the Cycle of Self-Sabotage🔊 Disclaimer:
I don’t remember recording this. Not a single word. It started with a plan, unraveled into chaos, and somehow looped back around like maybe the mess was the plan.
Call it dissociation. Call it channeling. Call it grief kicking down the door and handing the mic to something bigger than me.
I almost apologized for how unfiltered it is. But my gut—loud and clear—said: don’t touch it.
So I didn’t.
It’s messy. It’s raw. And it’s exactly how it needed to come out.

We’re here to remind you that messy, ungraceful growth is just part of finding your flow in this cosmic journey. Personal growth often looks like stumbling face-first into enlightenment.

Welcome to another episode of The Afterwords, the place where we embrace life, loss, and all the chaos in between. Today, I'm thrilled (and maybe just a little terrified) to introduce a special co-host—my spirited 9-year-old daughter, Zuma. Together, we're diving headfirst into the wildly awkward world of empathy 'failures' that seem to pop up whenever grief shadows our lives.
You know, no one's got grief all figured out, and people say the darndest things when trying to help. Ever heard "he's in a better place"? Yeah, we're unpacking that gem an...2025-03-0525 minThe AfterWordsEmpathy Fails: Where is the "The Better Place?"In this eye-opening episode of 'The Afterwords,' host Maile Navarro is joined by her insightful 9-year-old daughter, Zuma, as they delve into the clumsy and sometimes cringeworthy attempts at empathy people offer during times of grief. Together, they share personal stories mingled with humor about how people often stumble when trying to comfort those who are grieving. From misplaced words of 'comfort' to the science behind why our brains trip over themselves in these moments, this episode explores the chaotic intersection where empathy and grief collide. Listeners are treated to a mix of heartfelt experiences and witty anecdotes...2025-03-0131 minThe AfterWordsThe AfterWords: What Happens Next is EverythingWelcome to The AfterWords, where grief collides with spiritual discovery, dark humor, and unfiltered truth. Hosted by Maile Navarro, this podcast peels back the layers of loss, exposing the chaos, the beauty, and the absurdity of life after profound heartbreak.
After losing her son Kingston to cancer, Maile challenges the tidy, sugarcoated version of grief that the world expects. Instead, she dives into the raw, uncomfortable, and strangely magical ways love endures beyond death—through signs, synchronicities, and moments of undeniable connection.
If you’re looking for a place where grief isn’t whispered about in hus...2025-02-1323 minThe AfterWordsSix Months in the AshesIn this deeply personal and unfiltered monologue, I reflect on life six months after losing Kingston. It’s not a story of hope—it’s an honest account of the relentless pain, fear, and paralysis that grief brings. I share Zuma’s tearful mornings, her nightmares of Kingston, and how those moments mirror my own struggle to function in a world that no longer feels safe.
From the looming threat of wildfires to the impossibility of moving forward, this is a raw exploration of what it means to live in the aftermath of unimaginable loss.

Emissions SpécialesAbécédaire Michel Petrucciani : FF comme Femmes
« Tiens, je te présente ma femme ! », balance-t-il un soir à Freddie Hubbard alors qu’il vient à peine d’aborder l’une de ses futures conquêtes. Irrésistible Michel Petrucciani, feu follet de romance malgré ses os calcinés et ses poumons fragiles. Il y eut ainsi Erlinda Montaño, l'Indienne Navarro rencontrée en Californie; Marie-Laure Roperch qui lui donnera un fils, Alexandre; Gilda Butta, la pianiste italienne et enfin Isabelle Mailé qui lui tient la main dans les derniers moments et qui partira trop tôt, elle aussi, en 2005. Il y eut aussi les officieuses. Là, c'est une autre histo...2019-01-0801 min
