Nov 1, 2024 | 0 comments

Three of the speakers at the 2024 Before I Die New Mexico Festival are coming to Albuquerque from out of town. These remarkable women are Tammy J. Holmes, Kathy B. Dempsey and Dr. Kimberly Harms. Their presentations will knock your socks off! Here’s some information about each of them and their talks.

Tammy Holmes, Saturday, November 2 at 1:00 p.m. MT

Tammy Holmes

Tammy Holmes

Tammy is a noted psychic who has spoken at previous Before I Die Festivals. She is speaking on Grief Insights from Beyond the Veil, bringing an uplifting message from our departed loved ones on what they want us to know about grieving losses.

Throughout her speaking career, Tammy has manifested her desire to make a difference in the lives she encounters, by touching each person she meets with joy and love. She has an amazing ability to connect others to their inner and outer worlds — their oneness and their God-self, allowing them to expand their consciousness to love more fully, thereby creating lives of spiritual abundance and hope. Her words will penetrate your soul and welcome you into your personal spiritual journey.

Tammy Holmes has learned so much about life, not just the day-to-day lessons of how to survive, but deeper, life-changing lessons that continue to allow her to evolve spiritually. Those lessons are conveyed through her speaking and spiritual readings. Tammy’s book, Remembering One, Once Again, embodies these lessons, and are evident in the topics of her various speaking engagements. Tammy is always attuned to her audience and delivers inspiring, meaningful words specific to those in attendance. Spirit guides her talks, allowing each member in attendance to take away something that guides him or her along a positive, ever-evolving life-path.

Kathy B. Dempsey, Sunday, November 3 at 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. MT

Kathy Dempsey

Kathy Dempsey

Kathy is an award winning author, keynote speaker, and recognized change expert. She also became certified as a death doula. She will speak on Sunday on the 1:00 p.m. panel discussion, Shed Before You’re Dead, about downsizing; and at 2:00 p.m. she is speaking on Would You Hold a Living Funeral For Yourself? On Monday, November 4, she and Dr. Kimberly Harms will present the interactive learning session, Your Clock is Ticking: Are You Ready? Participants will learn about unexpected death and how to prepare for it as time runs out for individuals in the audience.

Kathy’s ‘signature story’ is her transformation as an ER/trauma nurse who became the first health care worker in America to be diagnosed positive for AIDS as a result of workplace exposure. She received national attention as a result of this life-altering hospital-based event that ‘made her a poster child’ for the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The diagnosis, a death sentence in the mid-80s, was confirmed with multiple positive tests. Months later, all tests returned negative. A miracle or medical error? No one is able to explain. The three months that Kathy lived with that traumatic diagnosis was a life-altering experience.

Kathy speaks about shedding, the continual process of letting go of the old and taking on the new. Throughout life we go through a lot of attachments and detachments, not just the physical ones like birth and death, but also emotional ones. Your ability to deal with life’s detachments is about obtaining peace and happiness. As Kathy says, “Shedding what no longer serves you isn’t a loss; it’s making room for transformation.” Her most popular book, Shed or You’re Dead®: 31 Unconventional Strategies for Growth and Change, is the recipient of a Writer’s Digest International Book Award.

Kimberly Harms, DDS, Sunday, November 3 at 9:00 a.m. MT

Kimberly Harms DDS

Kimberly Harms, DDS

Dr. Kimberly Harms, an award winning bestselling author and international speaker with 30 years of experience, is committed to challenging societal norms surrounding death and end-of-life planning. Her book, Are You Ready? How to Build a Legacy to Die For, is designed to ensure our loved ones are emotionally secure once we leave this mortal plane of existence.

Her talk on Sunday, Let’s Get Ready! Everything You Need to Know Before You Go, explores the need to go beyond traditional estate planning and get our affairs in order emotionally. She is joining with Kathy Dempsey on Monday, November 4 to conduct the interactive learning session, Your Clock is Ticking: Are You Ready?

Her life story includes heart-breaking losses. She recognized the unfortunate truth that calamity and catastrophe are an unavoidable part of life. Those affected by loss are left in shock and grief, left wondering how they can cope with the world. Her hope is to give audiences the skills necessary to prepare them for a healing path to joy and peace no matter what life brings.
