Send us a textWhat does it really mean to forgive someone? In this thought-provoking episode, we challenge the common misconception that forgiveness requires allowing people who've hurt you back into your life.Forgiveness represents a halfway point in relationship restoration. When you forgive someone, you've completed your part of the journey toward healing. However, genuine reconciliation requires the other person to meet you there by acknowledging their wrongs, offering sincere apologies, and demonstrating changed behavior. Without this reciprocal effort, the relationship remains fractured despite your forgiveness.We explore the frustrating reality of "fake apologies" - those hollow expressions of remorse that don't acknowledge wrongdoing or demonstrate commitment to change. These superficial gestures, often followed by unchanged behavior, create cycles of hurt that ultimately destroy trust. Pattern recognition becomes essential in determining when to maintain boundaries even after extending forgiveness.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss society's declining sense of common courtesy. When kindness is consistently met with exploitation, even naturally compassionate people eventually withdraw or adopt more guarded approaches. This cultural shift has contributed to widespread disconnection, with many preferring isolation to the vulnerability required for genuine connection.Throughout it all, our message remains clear: choose kindness. Being the bigger person doesn't mean allowing others to take advantage of you – it means maintaining your integrity while setting necessary boundaries. True forgiveness liberates you from resentment while empowering you to protect yourself from future harm.Ready to transform your understanding of forgiveness?

David duChemin is a photographer, author, and adventurer whose work and words have helped countless creatives reconnect with the why behind their work, which plays perfectly into the story of this podcast. Known for his deep reflections on vision, presence, and the stories we tell with a camera, David brings a grounded honesty to conversations about creativity. He talks today about taking personal risk, his love of the wilds, his deep trust of animals and why travel is such a precious part of his life. To quote, “I don't want to go through life having only experienced the World through the pages of National Geographic, I want to see it, and touch it and smell it.” This week, I'm proud to announce something new. The Journey Beyond is a new travel venture for photographers, writers, and creatives heading to places like Mongolia, India, and beyond, not just to see, but to feel, listen, and make work that matters in an experiential way.

Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of Life After Kids, Dr. Brooke and Dr. Lynne dive into the topic of building confidence at any stage of life. They begin by reflecting on how personal experiences and shared interactions with their audience shape the themes they explore. This episode centers around understanding confidence, distinguishing it from self-worth, and discovering practical strategies for fostering both. As Dr. Lynne puts it, "Confidence is a doing; it comes from action," emphasizing that building confidence involves more than just a mindset. The doctors delve into two primary ways to cultivate confidence: keeping promises to oneself and stepping out of one's comfort zone. By staying true to commitments, whether big or small, individuals can validate their capabilities and prioritize self-development. Moreover, the discussion turns toward the significance of taking risks and welcoming failure as an opportunity for growth. Dr. Brooke shares her personal journey of joining a challenging business group that enhanced her confidence, highlighting the importance of putting oneself in a stretch zone. Key Takeaways: Confidence Building: Confidence stems from keeping promises to oneself and consistently stepping out of comfort zones. Defining Confidence vs. Self-Worth: Confidence is action-oriented, while self-worth is about inherent value; both are essential in personal growth. Role of Faith: Finding self-worth through faith can be a powerful avenue for personal validation and confidence. Growth Through Failure: Embracing failure as part of the success journey contributes significantly to confidence building. Practical Application: Encourage your older children to find confidence by allowing them to navigate challenges independently, thereby gaining valuable life skills.

What does freedom look like when you navigate the world on wheels? For Jenna Udenberg, it arrived in the form of a Firefly - an electric attachment that transformed her manual wheelchair into an adventure vehicle capable of tackling trails she'd only viewed longingly from afar.Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age seven and using a wheelchair by eight, Jenna refused to let her mobility challenges define her life's boundaries. From becoming a left-handed trumpet player (despite being told it wasn't possible) to creating adaptive music programs that helped non-verbal students find their voice, her journey exemplifies resilience and creative problem-solving.The pandemic marked a turning point when Jenna left her 19-year teaching career and discovered a new calling as a disability advocate. Through her nonprofit "Above and Beyond With U," she champions the philosophy that true accessibility transcends mere ADA compliance checklists. As she powerfully states, "Nothing for us without us" - accessibility planning must include disabled voices from the very beginning.Our conversation explores how Jenna discovered newfound independence on Minnesota's state park trails, the transformative power of community support, and why her autobiography is titled "Within My Spokes." You'll gain fresh perspective on what adventure truly means and how accessibility benefits everyone.Whether you're disabled, know someone who is, or simply care about creating a more inclusive world, Jenna's insights will change how you think about accessibility in outdoor spaces.

To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/DWFB7aM-GBo   Have you ever received a message that felt like it came from beyond — something too clear, too wise to be just coincidence? What if the voices we silence or label as imagination are actually spirit teachers trying to guide us? Can a message from spirit truly transform your life and mental well-being?   In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Michael McAdams, a lifelong seeker of truth and the author of An Angel Told Me So. Together, they explore the often-misunderstood realm of spirit communication and how it intersects with personal healing, mental health, and spiritual development. Michael shares his personal story growing up in a religious family, his early mystical experiences, and the extraordinary collaboration he had with his mother, who received profound written messages from spirit teachers over the course of 22 years. Dr. Adriana and Michael challenge common mental health paradigms by inviting a deeper inquiry into what is often dismissed as psychosis or delusion — and instead honoring the possibility that spiritual communication is a natural and healing part of our human experience.   In this episode: • The difference between spirit guides, angels, and disembodied beings • How to discern between imagination and divine messages • Why affirmations and intention are key to spiritual protection • What is the difference between spiritual experiences and psychosis • The importance of belief systems and free will in shaping our spiritual reality • Practical tools to begin or strengthen your connection to spiritual guidance   Resources mentioned in this episode: Michael's website: https://www.spiritspeaks.com Michael's book An Angel Told Me So: https://a.co/d/f4P58p7 The Urantia Book: https://a.co/d/4KRv3sP Message from Spirit Teachers: Spiritual Parchment Prints on SpiritSpeaks.com   About Michael: Michael McAdams is a lifelong spiritual seeker and the author of An Angel Told Me So, a collection of profound spiritual messages received by his mother, Wilma Jean Jones, over the span of two decades. With a background in traditional Christianity and a deep passion for metaphysics, Michael bridges faith and spirit communication through his work. He shares a personal journey of awakening, divine communication, and the sacred role of spirit teachers in guiding us through life's challenges.   “We are not alone. We are constantly being guided, helped, and supported — but we have to ask, and we have to be willing to listen.” – Michael   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

What happens when the afterlife doesn't want you — yet? In this unforgettable installment of The Journey Beyond Death, we dive into three riveting near-death experiences that challenge our assumptions about free will, divinity, and soul purpose. Part 17 is also the seventh entry in our transformative eight-part series featuring firsthand NDE accounts. We begin with Peter Bedard, whose moped crash at age 17 launched him out of his body and into a realm of unspeakable beauty. There, he met a luminous being with an energy reminiscent of Lao Tzu, who told him — bluntly — that his arrival was a cosmic mistake. Bedard's tale, both humorous and heartfelt, explores the shock of being "kicked out of heaven" and the deep yearning that follows such an experience. We're also joined by Peter Vittar, who lends his own reflections on soul contracts, the pain of reincarnating against one's will, and the subtle comedy woven into cosmic design. Psychic medium Karyn Reece reveals a multidimensional journey involving departed loved ones and lush celestial landscapes, while Howard Storm recounts his harrowing descent into a dark realm — and his unexpected rescue by a radiant being of light that transformed his atheism into lifelong spiritual devotion. This episode explores moral responsibility, spiritual awakening, the concept of multidimensional lives, and why death may be the most honest mirror we ever face. It's raw, revelatory, and at times, surprisingly funny. --------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 02:00 – NDE Survivor Peter Bedard 19:20 – NDE Survivor & Psychic Medium Karyn Reece 28:26 – NDE Survivor Howard Storm --------------------------------- Peter Bedard Peter Bedard is an NDE survivor, author, and healing expert who integrates science and spirituality to help people overcome trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. After a near-death experience in his youth, Peter developed a unique approach to wellness called "Convergence Healing," which focuses on addressing emotional root causes.

In the grand finale of Journey Beyond Death, spiritual author Nanci Danison shares her astonishing near-death experience, revealing a reality far beyond earthly beliefs. After dying during breast cancer surgery, Danison entered a realm of unconditional love and limitless knowledge, where she discovered that human beings are not their bodies, but manifestations of Source energy. She recounts merging with the Source, experiencing a life review intertwined with memories of lives across the universe, and realizing that existence itself is a creative exploration by Source to experience every facet of imagination, including emotions like fear, separation, and love. The episode continues with reflections on reincarnation: souls choose human lives to study complex emotional themes like guilt, love, and self-delusion from every angle. According to Danison, spiritual evolution is not about climbing a hierarchy—it's about exploring the full spectrum of experiences. Earth, described as a "school," offers souls a rare opportunity for accelerated growth, precisely because of its challenges and dualities. Listeners are invited to rethink purpose, realizing that much of life's meaning emerges through simple experiences rather than grand cosmic missions. Closing the series is Vinnie Todd Tolman, whose miraculous revival after being declared dead leads to profound revelations. Tolman discusses his life review, spiritual guides, and visions of humanity's future—two Earths splitting into communities of light and survivalist cities. He emphasizes that while society often cages consciousness, true freedom and transcendence come through individual connection to the divine. With heartfelt gratitude, the series ends as an invitation to embrace life's mysteries, knowing that consciousness, love, and growth endure beyond death. -------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 02:00 - NDE Survivor Nanci Danison 49.20 - NDE Survivor Vinnie Todd Tolman ------------------ About Nanci Danison In 1994, Nanci L. Danison, JD, experienced a profound near-death experience during which she transformed into a Being of Light, accessed Universal Knowledge, witnessed the history of Earth and the evolution of religion, and learned the true nature of unconditional love, self-healing, and conscious manifestation. On the verge of merging fully with Source/God, she made the choice to return to her physical body in order to share the powerful truths she had encountered. Since then, Nanci has dedicated her life to writing books and leading workshops that explore the deeper realities of human existence, offering messages of hope, spiritual empowerment, and the eternal nature of the soul. Websites: / About Vincent Todd Tolman Vincent Todd Tolman is a near-death experience (NDE) survivor whose extraordinary journey has captivated audiences worldwide.

morning coffee.Sr: Напољу су улични продавци, нуде свеже јагоде пролазницима.En: Outside, street vendors are offering fresh strawberries to passersby.Sr: Пролећни ветар доноси мирис цветајућих

тврђаву“, рекао је са осмехом, покушавајући да унесе енергију у утрнула јутарња лица.En: "Today we're going to Petrovaradin Fortress," he said with a smile, trying to bring energy to their numb morning faces.Sr: „Желим да ухватим савршену фотографију.En: "I want to capture the perfect photograph."Sr: “Јелена је већ прелиставала мапе на свом телефону.En: Jelena was already flipping through maps on her phone.Sr: Организована као и увек, бринула је да се све испланира до најситнијих детаља.En: Organized as always, she worried about planning everything down to the finest details.Sr: „Морамо проверити времена, Милане.En: "We need to check the weather, Milan.Sr: Кажу да ће падати киша“, рекла је забринуто.En: They say it will rain," she said worriedly.Sr: „Ну, можда киша и неће покварити план“, одговорио је Стефан, покушавајући да ублажи тензију.En: "Well, maybe rain won't ruin the plan," responded Stefan, trying to ease the tension.Sr: Иако је споља изгледао смирено, у себи је бринуо да би овај њихов излазак могао бити последњи ако се наставе свађе.En: Although he appeared calm on the outside, he worried that this outing might be their last if the arguments continued.Sr: Милан је имао идеју.En: Milan had an idea.Sr: „Хајде да пробамо нешто друго.En: "Let's try something different.Sr: Путујемо преко Фрушке горе.En: Let's travel across the Fruška Gora.Sr: Ако имамо среће, добро време ће нас послужити“, предложио је, покушавајући да унесе мало авантуре у њихову рутину.En: If we're lucky, good weather will accompany us," he suggested, trying to bring some adventure into their routine.Sr: Најпре, Јелена и Стефан су се нећкали, али су на крају пристали.En: At first, Jelena and Stefan hesitated, but eventually, they agreed.Sr: Скокнули су у ауто, да путују кроз зелене пределе и поља пунa дивљег цвећа.En: They jumped into the car to travel through green landscapes and fields full of wildflowers.Sr: Сунце је блистало кроз облаке док их је лагано пратио звук традиционалних песама са радија.En: The sun shone through the clouds as they were gently accompanied by the sound of traditional songs on the radio.Sr: Када су стигли на Петроварадинску тврђаву, небеса су се на тренутак рачистила, откривајући величанствени залазак сунца.En: When they reached the Petrovaradin Fortress, the skies cleared for a moment, revealing a magnificent sunset.Sr: Милан је пожурио да подеси камеру.En: Milan hurried to set up his camera.Sr: Стефан и Јелена су стајали поред, смејући се и шалећи, као да су свађами прошле године нестале с ветром који је носио облаке.En: Stefan and Jelena stood nearby, laughing and joking, as if the arguments of past years had vanished with the wind carrying the clouds away.Sr: Тада је Милан схватио.En: That's when Milan realized.Sr: Више од савршене фотографије, били су важни ти драгоцени моменти са пријатељима.En: More than the perfect photograph, those precious moments with friends were what mattered.Sr: Јелена је спустила мапу, смејући се отворено, док је Стефан зграбљивао тренутке својим срцем, не телефоном.En: Jelena put down the map, laughing openly, while Stefan captured the moments with his heart, not his phone.Sr: На крају дана, вратили су се у ауто, заједнички пијући и насмејани.En: At the end of the day, they returned to the car, drinking together and smiling.Sr: Њихово пријатељство било је чвршће него икад, додавши нове приче на старе успомене.En: Their friendship was stronger than ever, adding new stories to old memories.Sr: „Знате“, Милан се осмехнуо, „можда би требало чешће да се ослободимо плана.En: "You know," Milan smiled, "maybe we should let go of the plan more often."Sr: “ Они су се насмешили и осетили да је сваки њихов заједнички тренутак драгоцен.En: They smiled, feeling that every moment they shared was precious.Sr: Данас, Вучари насје, научили су да природа и непредвидивост могу донијети најлепше тренутке које живот пружа.En: Today, they learned that nature and unpredictability can bring the most beautiful moments that life offers.

The Journey Beyond Death – Part 11 opens our seven-part Near Death Experiences series with a powerful collection of firsthand journeys beyond the veil. These stories are not hearsay — they come from individuals who were clinically dead, crossed into another realm, and returned to transform the way we understand life, death, and what lies beyond. Leading NDE researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long, who has documented over 4,000 near-death experiences, shares stunning evidence that consciousness survives death. His research challenges the limitations of mainstream science and reveals consistent themes: overwhelming love, divine light, and a reality more vivid than this world. He recounts cases including a woman born blind who "saw" during her NDE, providing undeniable proof that our perception transcends the physical body. NDE survivor Peter Anthony, known as "The Accidental Prophet," describes traveling through a tunnel of rotating mathematical codes and faces from past lives, gaining profound downloads of universal knowledge. Bev Brodsky recounts meeting an angelic guide and merging with an all-knowing light — realizing that all souls are connected, and that love is the foundation of all existence. Finally, Betty J. Eadie, celebrated author of Embraced by the Light, shares her extraordinary encounter with Jesus and the heavenly realms. She describes a soul journey filled with infinite love, deep remembrance, and sacred revelations about why we incarnate on Earth. Betty's testimony stands as one of the most detailed and comforting maps of the afterlife ever shared, offering hope and clarity to anyone seeking to understand what truly happens after death. This episode challenges conventional thinking and invites listeners to step beyond fear — to embrace the reality that death is not an end, but a magnificent homecoming to unconditional love. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 – NDE Leading Researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long 28:06 - NDE Survivor Peter Anthony 39:27 – NDE Survivor Bev Brodsky 45:07 – NDE Survivor Betty Eadie ----------------------------- Dr. Jeffrey Long – Radiation Oncologist & NDE Researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long is a radiation oncologist and a leading authority on near-death experiences (NDEs).

In part two of The Journey Beyond Death begins a powerful three-part arc on Mental Health Resiliency. In this deeply honest and emotionally raw episode, we explore how the grieving mind struggles to stay grounded after the loss of someone irreplaceable — and what survivors can do to regain emotional equilibrium. Certified grief educator and thanatologist Elreacy Dock joins us to offer expert insight on the early stages of grief and the emotional turbulence that can last for years. Elreacy shares why year two is often more emotionally taxing than year one, and how avoiding emotions too long can trigger delayed grief and breakdowns. We also discuss the dangers of using substances to suppress grief, and instead offer healthier rituals that restore stability and self-expression. Joining Elreacy are Carole Brody Fleet, Joyce Hocker, and Mark Henick — all of whom bring unique expertise and lived experience. From suicide prevention and emotional sobriety to reclaiming identity after widowhood, this episode offers guidance that is fiercely compassionate and unapologetically real. Mental health isn't about “getting over” death. It's about learning how to live beside the wound. --------------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 01:00 – Certified Grief Educator Elreacy Dock 09:54 – Carole Brody Fleet 27:18 – Psychologist Dr. Joyce Hocker 38.52 - Mark Henick --------------------------------------- Elreacy Dock Elreacy Dock is a certified grief educator, thanatologist, behavioral health consultant, and death educator.

In Part 3 of The Journey Beyond Death—and the second installment of our Mental Health Resiliency arc—we take a deeply personal and professional dive into the labyrinth of grief. Guided by voices shaped through trauma, therapy, and triumph, this episode explores the raw emotional landscape that follows profound loss. With the haunting echoes of personal stories—from being raised by Holocaust survivors to losing parents to Alzheimer's and suicide—our guests share tools that helped them move through sorrow with grace: meditation, therapeutic writing, community, and nature. Psychotherapist Megan Bruneau and holistic psychiatrist Dr. Rebecca Valla illuminate how grieving minds need structure, empathy, and non-judgmental support. Clinical psychologist Dr. John Huber breaks down how guilt and irrational thinking can derail healing—and what practical methods can restore inner balance. Dr. Pat Baccili delivers powerful spiritual and psychological reflections on trauma and the human need to witness grief without solving it. We also highlight Functional Health Practitioner Karen Shoshana's unique insights into how somatic care—sleep, breath, nutrition—can ground us during loss. And Dr. Gaini De Silva offers a compassionate look at adolescent grief and physical practices for emotional regulation. Together, these voices reveal that mourning is not a timeline but a terrain—and those who traverse it consciously can emerge stronger, wiser, and more open-hearted than ever. This episode reminds us that grief is sacred. It is an invitation to become more human, more whole, and, paradoxically, more alive. Whether you've just begun your grieving journey or are still haunted by echoes from years ago, this episode offers powerful emotional tools, insights, and hope. --------------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 01:00 – Karen Shoshana 11:00 – Psychotherapist Megan Bruneau 13:46 – Dr. Pat Baccilli 20:00 - Forensic Psychologist Dr. John Huber 42:40 – Dr. Rebecca S.

In this landmark sixth chapter of The Journey Beyond Death, we begin a new arc titled “Mystics & Seers” by welcoming two of the most piercing voices in spiritual inquiry: Jeff Berwick and Shunyamurti. Together, they unravel what lies beyond this world—and how to reclaim the truth buried beneath illusion. Jeff Berwick, founder of The Dollar Vigilante, challenges the very nature of reality. Is this world a divine simulation? Is death just a shift of levels in a cosmic game? Through years of intensive meditation and consciousness experimentation, Berwick offers raw, revolutionary insights: that fear is programmed, death is misunderstood, and freedom begins when the mind surrenders. Shunyamurti, spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Ashram, takes us even deeper—into the still center of being that never dies. With razor-sharp clarity and mystical presence, he explores why the soul incarnates, how ego fragments the Real, and what it means to awaken before death. His message: You are not the body, not the mind, not even the story. You are the eternal light watching it all. This episode is not for the casually curious. It's for the seeker standing at the threshold, ready to cross. Death is not the end. It is the illusion we must transcend to truly live. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 - Metaphysical Seeker & Sovereignty Advocate Jeff Berwick 44:00 - Spiritual Master & Founder of the Sat Yoga Institute Shunyamurti -------------------------------- Jeff Berwick is a financial iconoclast, spiritual truth-seeker, and founder of The Dollar Vigilante.

One of the first analysts to call Bitcoin at $3 and Ethereum at $2, Berwick also teaches that we're living in a cosmic simulation—a spiritual “video game” where awakening means reclaiming our power from fear, control, and illusion. Through his media platform Vigilante.tv, bestselling book The Controlled Demolition of the American Empire, and his annual Anarchapulco conference, Berwick fuses financial independence, metaphysics, and radical self-liberation. Website: TV Channel: ----------------------------- Shunyamurti is a renowned spiritual teacher, yogi, and founder of the Sat Yoga Institute and Ashram in Costa Rica.

Shunyamurti's wisdom synthesizes the core insights of Advaita Vedanta, Shaivism, and Buddhism with Western psychoanalytic traditions, transpersonal psychology, and mysticism. He has also explored altered states of consciousness through entheogens and integrated learnings from esoteric traditions like Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity.

The Journey Beyond Death (Mystics & Seers 3/3): The Hidden Realms Beyond Death and Dreams In Part 8 of The Journey Beyond Death, we conclude our three-part arc, Mystics & Seers, with some of the most profound spiritual insights yet. This installment brings together renowned metaphysical teacher Michael Monk, spiritual pioneers Dick and Roberta Sutphen, and energy healer Jona Bryndis for a mind-expanding dialogue on incarnation, consciousness, and the soul's path beyond death. Michael Monk opens the portal by explaining how life in the physical body is a voluntary immersion into intense density—a crucible for spiritual acceleration. He breaks down the fusion between consciousness and the body's electrical system, describing how incarnation is not a requirement, but a high-impact opportunity for soul growth. His revelations about the nature of spirit, energy, and perception challenge every conventional belief about what it means to be alive. Dick and Roberta Sutphen then guide us deeper into the metaphysics of death and the afterlife. They discuss how one's vibrational level influences the crossing-over process and the realms we enter. According to the Sutphens, spiritual maturity, belief systems, and even our intent in life all determine what we experience after physical death. Their perspective is both enlightening and sobering—reminding us that even our darkest moments can catalyze profound growth. Jona Bryndis brings a unique blend of science and spirituality to the conversation, describing death as simply the shedding of our densest layer. She introduces the concept of multidimensional existence, reminding us that true healing and connection don't require reaching outward—they begin within. Jona explains how energetic healing, intention, and heart-centered presence can bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds. This final chapter in Mystics & Seers is a sweeping spiritual expedition—uniting metaphysical science, lived wisdom, and soul-level truth. It is an invitation to reframe not only how we view death, but how we choose to live. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 02:200 - Metaphysical Visionary Michael Monk 10:02 – Legendary Metaphysical Pioneer Dick Sutphen & Psychic Roberta Sutphen 56:36 – Energy Healer Jona Bryndis -------------------------------- Michael Monk Michael Monk is a renowned spiritual teacher, energy master, and founder of the Avatar Energy Mastery Institute.

The Journey Beyond Death continues with Part 9, diving into the extraordinary topic of After Death Communication. In this powerful episode, we explore how contact between the living and the spirit world is not only possible—but often happening in ways most people overlook: through dreams, symbols, synchronicities, and even cutting-edge technology. Featuring internationally renowned psychic mediums Lisa McGarrity and Joyce Keller, astrologer Constance Stellas, and tech visionary Robert LoCascio, this episode offers diverse insights into how the boundary between life and death is far more permeable than we imagine. Lisa McGarrity shares how departed loved ones often reach out with subtle signs—like feathers, birds, or coins—and explains how writing letters to the deceased or placing water near your bedside can invite dream encounters. Joyce Keller adds that while some souls transition easily, others may remain in a sleep-like state until they're ready to fully cross over. Both mediums emphasize that death is not a disappearance, but a transformation into a new, liberated form of existence. Astrologer Constance Stellas brings a deeper, cosmic lens to the conversation, showing how soul contracts, karmic patterns, and even death transitions are visible in a birth chart. And Robert LoCascio introduces Eternos, a groundbreaking AI platform designed to preserve human consciousness—allowing future generations to interact with digital avatars of loved ones long after their physical passing. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 03:00 - Psychic Medium Lisa McGarrity 14:53 - Psychic Medium Joyce Keller 37:03 - Astrologer Constance Stellas 48:44 - Robert LoCascio, CEO of Eternos ------------------------------ Lisa McGarrity – Psychic Medium Lisa McGarrity is a seasoned psychic medium with over 25 years of experience.

In Part 10 of The Journey Beyond Death — and Part 2 of our "After-Death Communication" series — we explore groundbreaking methods for connecting with loved ones beyond the veil. Dr. Allan Botkin, renowned psychologist and creator of Induced After-Death Communication (IADC), shares how EMDR-based techniques can lift the crushing sadness of grief and create ideal conditions for spontaneous spiritual contact. His clinical work with PTSD veterans reveals that reaching a peaceful emotional state — not a hypnotic trance — opens the door to profound afterlife experiences. We also reconnect with acclaimed author Philip Smith, who describes his ongoing relationship with his late father through automatic writing and subtle energetic cues. Smith's vivid stories illustrate how spirit communication can be a natural extension of love and trust, not a mysterious or distant concept. His experiences challenge the skepticism of modern society and offer powerful testimony that emotional bonds persist beyond physical death. Adding another dimension, Patricia Mischell — psychic medium and near-death experiencer — explains how meditation, intention, and spiritual discipline create pathways for genuine after-death communications. She stresses the importance of discernment, emotional openness, and daily practice in cultivating these extraordinary connections. This powerful episode weaves together clinical research, personal testimony, and spiritual insight to illuminate one of the deepest questions of the human experience: Does death end the relationship, or simply change its form?

In Part 13 of The Journey Beyond Death, and the third installment of our eight-part series on Near Death Experiences, we explore extraordinary stories of transformation, survival, and awakening. Dr. Tony Cicoria recounts the life-altering moment he was struck by lightning — a physical and spiritual jolt that opened the floodgates to a stunning musical gift. His account blurs the line between the tangible and the ethereal, inviting us to ponder the unseen forces that guide our lives. We honor the late Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a true pioneer in holistic medicine whose legacy of compassion and innovation continues to inspire. Alongside him, NDE survivor Tommy Rosa shares revelations from his own brush with death, offering profound insights into healing, the unity of all souls, and the divine design behind human existence. Their combined wisdom fuses science and spirituality into a tapestry of hope and possibility. Erica McKenzie's powerful testimony shines a light on the dangers of medication misuse and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Her near-death experience reveals a world beyond pain — a place of divine purpose, healing, and unconditional love. Through Erica's eyes, we are reminded that our true value lies not in how we appear to others, but in the light we carry within. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 09:24 – NDE Tony Cicoria 19:19 – NDE Tommy Rosa & Dr. Stephen Sinatra 37:44 – NDE Erica McKenzie 1:16:32 – NDE David Bennett ----------------------------- NDE Survivor: Dr. Anthony Cicoria In 1994, Dr. Anthony Cicoria was struck by lightning and nearly lost his life. During this harrowing moment, he had an out-of-body experience, watching from above as his own body lay motionless on the floor. Following his near-death experience, Dr. Cicoria began receiving what he describes as "downloads" — powerful streams of original music compositions for the piano. His life was forever changed, and he emerged with a profound sense of purpose, translating his spiritual encounter into music that touches the soul. ----------------------------- NDE Survivor: Tommy Rosa & Dr. Stephen Sinatra (In Loving Memory) In 1999, Bronx-born plumber Tommy Rosa died after a devastating hit-and-run accident. As he lay by the roadside, he felt a powerful tug pulling him through a tunnel of light. On the other side, Tommy found himself in a heavenly place, where he was shown that Earth was created by God to nourish and heal humanity — and that the separation we feel from each other and from the Divine is an illusion of our own making. He met a Divine Teacher who shared Eight Revelations about the nature of life and the universe. Meanwhile, Dr. Stephen Sinatra — a world-renowned cardiologist and pioneering voice in integrative medicine — was transforming his clinical approach, blending science with spirituality. When fate brought Tommy and Dr. Sinatra together, they realized the powerful synchronicities between Tommy's revelations and Dr. Sinatra's groundbreaking medical discoveries. Their collaboration led to one of the most inspired unions of science and spirit. Dr. Stephen Sinatra has since passed from this world, but his wisdom, compassion, and revolutionary contributions to healing continue to uplift countless lives. His legacy endures through his writings, his patients, and all who seek true, heart-centered healing.

In Part 12 of The Journey Beyond Death, and the second installment of our seven-part Near Death Experience series, we explore extraordinary journeys beyond the veil that challenge everything we think we know about life and consciousness. Susan Grau shares her astonishing survival from being trapped inside an unplugged freezer as a child — an event that opened the door to celestial realms, where she witnessed the Room of Heart's Desires and the profound truth that not all earthly wishes serve the soul's greater purpose. Retired fireman Bill Letson recounts his own near-death experience during a critical illness, detailing a powerful journey beyond his human identity into realms of infinite peace and cosmic unity. Bill's story invites us to consider the idea that our physical existence may be an orchestrated simulation designed for the soul's evolution — and that love and awareness are our truest destinations. We are also joined by Dr. Anna Stone, who shares her near-death experience following a catastrophic medical emergency. Anna's journey takes her beyond the human body into a realm where thought moves faster than light, where personality and humor endure, and where the ultimate measure of a life is the kindness we show others. Her stunning testimony offers a rare glimpse into the soul's expansive existence beyond the boundaries of time, space, and the material world. Through Susan, Bill, and Anna's powerful stories, we confront the nature of reality itself and glimpse the deeper truth: we are infinite beings navigating a temporary human experience. Their revelations remind us that consciousness never dies, love never fades, and that each act of empathy leaves an eternal mark on the soul's journey home. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 – NDE Survivor Susan Grau 10:46 - NDE Survivor Bill Letson 35.54 - NDE Survivor Dr. Anna Stone ----------------------------- Susan Grau — NDE Survivor & Spiritual Medium At just five years old, Susan Grau experienced a profound near-death encounter after a traumatic accident, forever altering her understanding of life, death, and the unseen world.

In Part 14 of The Journey Beyond Death, we continue with the fourth installment of our eight-part deep dive into near-death experiences. This episode explores how a life-altering motorcycle accident transformed Steven Weber, a former skeptic, into a passionate believer in the existence of a spiritual realm. Through his vivid narrative of the "place between here and there," Steven shares how consciousness persists beyond the body and how recognizing the spirit in all things redefines the nature of existence itself. We also examine the concept of the life review, where every action, thought, and feeling is experienced not only from one's own perspective but also through the eyes of others. Steven's journey reveals that even the most painful experiences can ultimately lead to immense growth, healing, and spiritual evolution. His insights highlight the interconnectedness of all beings and challenge us to see the divine not just in others, but within ourselves. Adding to this rich tapestry of experiences, intuitive healer and medium Debra Martin joins us to share her three profound near-death experiences. Through her encounters with spiritual surgeons, divine light, and soul contracts, Debra illustrates the immense power of unconditional love, free will, and the deeper meaning behind our earthly journeys. Her revelations underscore that pain, challenges, and even death itself are pivotal parts of a soul's broader mission to learn, grow, and return to Source. Together, Steven and Debra's stories offer a captivating and hopeful vision of what lies beyond the human experience, urging listeners to embrace life with more courage, compassion, and wonder. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 - NDE Survivor - Stephen Weber 32:02 - NDE Survivor - Debra Martin ----------------------------- About Stephen Weber Stephen Weber is a near-death experience survivor, author, and speaker whose life changed dramatically after a catastrophic motorcycle accident. Once a self-described skeptic, Stephen's journey through “the place between here and there” opened his awareness to the interconnectedness of all beings and the enduring nature of consciousness beyond the body.

Part 15 of The Journey Beyond Death takes us deeper into our exploration of near-death experiences, marking part five of our eight-part NDE-focused series. In this episode, we hear the raw, profound accounts of Amanda Wideman and Bill Tortorella—two individuals who crossed the threshold between life and death and returned with extraordinary insights. Amanda recounts the harrowing moment her car spun out on a mountain road in British Columbia. Instead of succumbing to fear, she surrendered, launching into an out-of-body experience where she was immersed in a realm of pure peace, unconditional love, and spiritual familiarity. Her testimony offers powerful reflections on the true nature of our soul and the deep sense of belonging that transcends earthly existence. Bill Tortorella shares his vivid journey after a sudden illness claimed his physical life during a trade show. Traveling through a tunnel of radiant colors, Bill encountered guardian spirits, a profound life review, and overwhelming sensations of love and unity. His story sheds light on the importance of our choices, the weight of our actions, and the soul's yearning for growth and service. Together, Amanda and Bill's experiences offer a glimpse into the infinite love, wisdom, and transformational lessons that await beyond the veil. This episode invites listeners to reconsider the purpose of their existence and the enduring nature of consciousness beyond the human form. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 - NDE Survivor - Amanda Wideman 23:24 - NDE Survivor - Bill Tortorella ----------------------------- About Amanda Wideman Amanda Wideman is a Canadian trauma-informed coach, artist, and former paramedic whose life was profoundly transformed by a near-death experience (NDE) in 2017. While returning from a music festival in British Columbia, her vehicle was involved in a severe accident, flipping and landing upside down on a concrete guardrail. In that moment, Amanda surrendered to what she believed was the end, only to encounter a profound sense of peace and a loving, timeless presence she describes as "home".​This pivotal experience led Amanda to reevaluate her life's direction. She left her 13-year career as a paramedic, sold her home, and embarked on a journey of spiritual and personal exploration. Embracing practices such as plant medicine ceremonies, meditation, and fasting, she sought deeper understanding and connection. Today, Amanda channels her insights into her work as a trauma-informed coach and shares her story to inspire others. She authored the book Surrender: How a Near Death Experience Changed My Perception of Life, detailing her transformative journey.​ Through her coaching, artistic endeavors, and public speaking, Amanda Wideman continues to guide others toward healing and self-discovery, drawing from the profound lessons of her near-death experience. Website: -------------------------- About Bill Tortorella Bill Tortorella is an author, artist, and former paramedic whose life was transformed by a profound near-death experience (NDE) in 1994. While working at a trade show in Tucson, Arizona, he contracted a severe illness that led to his NDE. During this experience, he encountered three guardian angels who imparted to him nine principles of enlightenment—messages centered on love, unity, and spiritual awakening. Prior to this life-altering event, Tortorella had a diverse career. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, he graduated from the School of Art and Design in Manhattan and worked as a commercial artist. He later became a paramedic in Miami during the turbulent 1970s, a period marked by the rise of the "Cocaine Cowboys."Following his NDE, Tortorella authored The Ninth Level of Enlightenment: The Wisdom of the Light and Choices: Messages of Love to Change the Outcome, aiming to share the insights he received and inspire others toward personal and collective transformation. Through his writings and public engagements, Bill Tortorella continues to promote messages of compassion, forgiveness, and service, encouraging individuals to embrace spiritual growth and contribute positively to the world.

The Journey Beyond Death continues with Part 16 of its compelling 18-part series and marks the sixth installment in the eight-part segment focused on individuals who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). In this episode, we spotlight three extraordinary guests—Peter Bedard, Karyn Reece, and Howard Storm—each of whom crossed the threshold of life and death and returned with transformative insights that challenge everything we think we know about existence. Peter Bedard was just a teenager when a devastating accident flung him out of his body and into a realm of pure awareness. What he found there—a tunnel of spinning light, a mysterious guide resembling Lao Tzu, and a sense of overwhelming peace—shaped his life's mission. Today, Peter helps others heal emotional wounds through his method, Convergence Healing. Karyn Reece, a gifted psychic medium, shares her emotionally rich near-death experience involving a vibrant, otherworldly meadow and a reunion with passed loved ones. Despite her longing to remain in the afterlife, she was told she had more work to do. Her story touches on soul contracts, multidimensional awareness, and the thin veil between the living and the dead. Howard Storm's account is perhaps the most jarring. A former atheist, Howard describes a terrifying descent into darkness where hostile beings tormented him—until a desperate prayer summoned a radiant presence he identifies as Jesus. Rescued, shown a life review, and filled with divine love, Howard's journey became a spiritual reckoning that altered his path forever. --------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 02:00 – NDE Survivor Peter Bedard 19:20 – NDE Survivor & Psychic Medium Karyn Reece 28:26 – NDE Survivor Howard Storm --------------------------------- Peter Bedard Peter Bedard is an NDE survivor, author, and healing expert who integrates science and spirituality to help people overcome trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain.

In this episode of The Deal Scout, host Susan Reilly sits down with Chris Miles, also known as the Anti-Financial Advisor, to uncover his unconventional path to financial freedom and the hard lessons learned along the way.Once a traditional financial advisor, Chris realized that the advice he was giving—401(k)s, paying off mortgages early, saving aggressively—wasn't working, not even for his own father. His wake-up call came when he saw firsthand that the “American Dream” retirement strategy wasn't delivering results. This epiphany launched him into the world of entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and ultimately, financial independence at the age of 28.But Chris's story isn't just a highlight reel. He also shares the devastating financial setback that cost him over a million dollars, and how it taught him critical lessons about liquidity, diversification, and business integrity. From that failure, he rebuilt his wealth with a new philosophy—focusing on cash flow over accumulation and creating passive income streams that allow entrepreneurs to become work-optional.In this candid conversation, Chris also opens up about the emotional toll of financial and personal failures, including two divorces, and how leaning into relationships—not retreating from them—became a game-changer for his business and personal growth. His advice for entrepreneurs? Don't grind yourself into the ground. Build freedom into your life now through smarter investments and meaningful relationships.Whether you're a business owner, investor, or aspiring dealmaker, this episode offers a blueprint for breaking free from the traditional financial mold—and building lasting wealth on your own terms.Reach out to connect with Chris or to be a guest on the show to SusanNext Steps Share your thoughts with a review - https://www.thedealscout.com/reviews/ Let's connect on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-reilly-64150722a/ Subscribe and Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQN_Y3nhDGClfMxCSBDjOg Disclaimer: The content shared on this podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as financial, legal, or tax advice.

Send us a textWhat happens when someone survives unthinkable childhood trauma and transforms that pain into purpose? In this powerful conversation, Denise G. Lee takes us through her extraordinary journey from severe childhood abuse to recovery from sex addiction and alcoholism to becoming a trauma-informed entrepreneur coach.With remarkable vulnerability, Denise shares how her life's theme evolved from feeling betrayed by others to recognizing how she betrayed herself, and finally to embracing complete responsibility for her healing. She recounts surviving her mother's physical, emotional, and sexual abuse until age 11, attempting suicide at just seven years old, and later developing addictions as coping mechanisms while trying to find connection and meaning.The turning point came when a therapist confronted Denise with the reality of her sex addiction, leading her to 12-step programs where she finally found people who could see her fully—broken parts and all—while offering practical tools for healing. This experience fundamentally transformed how she understands leadership, personal growth, and coaching.Today, Denise works with high-achieving entrepreneurs who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally. She helps them recognize how unhealed trauma manifests in their business practices and relationships, guiding them toward authentic leadership through vulnerability. "You can only lead people to the point of your own level of vulnerability," she explains, highlighting how our willingness to acknowledge our imperfections creates psychological safety for those around us.Whether you're facing your own healing journey or leading others through change, Denise's perspective offers profound wisdom: our failures and struggles aren't a summary of who we are—they're just data points that can refine rather than define us.

Story Transcript:Ca: La brisa marina de la Costa Brava feia brillar la llum daurada del matí.En: The sea breeze of the Costa Brava made the golden morning light shine.Ca: Les onades es trencaven suaument contra les roques de l'escenari perfecte d'una comunitat costanera i tranquil·la.En: The waves gently broke against the rocks of the perfect scene of a peaceful coastal community.Ca: Aina observava aquest paisatge des de la finestra de la seva habitació, omplint els pulmons amb l'olor del mar una vegada més.En: Aina observed this landscape from her bedroom window, filling her lungs with the smell of the sea once more.Ca: Al seu darrere, les maletes estaven preparades, esperant el moment de partir.En: Behind her, the suitcases were ready, waiting for the moment to leave.Ca: Aina havia crescut en aquesta comunitat petita, on cada casa estava decorada amb flors vibrants i on els veïns es coneixien des de sempre.En: Aina had grown up in this small community, where every house was decorated with vibrant flowers and where the neighbors had always known each other.Ca: La Laia, una amiga de tota la vida, va aparèixer a la porta, amb ulls humits però un somriure d'ànims.En: Laia, a lifelong friend, appeared at the door, with wet eyes but a supportive smile.Ca: "Estàs preparada?En: "Are you ready?"Ca: " va preguntar amb una veu suau, plena d'entendre.En: she asked in a soft voice that was full of understanding.Ca: "Suposo que sí", va respondre Aina, mirant enrere cap a la seva habitació buida.En: "I suppose so," Aina replied, looking back at her empty room.Ca: Un munt de records li passaven pel cap, totes aquelles tardes a la platja, festes al poble, i els diumenges tranquils amb la família.En: A flood of memories passed through her mind, all those afternoons at the beach, village festivals, and quiet Sundays with the family.Ca: Martí, el seu germà petit, va arribar corrent amb una petita caixa.En: Martí, her little brother, came running with a small box.Ca: "Aina, això és per tu", va dir, entregant-li la caixa amb mans tremoloses.En: "Aina, this is for you," he said, handing her the box with trembling hands.Ca: Era un collaret fet amb petites petxines que havien recollit junts durant l'estiu passat.En: It was a necklace made of small shells they had collected together last summer.Ca: El cor d'Aina es va estrènyer.En: Aina's heart tightened.Ca: D'una banda, volia portar-se un tros d'aquest lloc estimat amb ella, però per altre costat sabia que aquesta era l'oportunitat per començar de zero a Barcelona.En: On one hand, she wanted to take a piece of this beloved place with her, but on the other hand, she knew this was the opportunity to start fresh in Barcelona.Ca: Decidida, es va agenollar davant de Martí.En: Determined, she knelt in front of Martí.Ca: "Gràcies, petit", li va dir, abraçant-lo fortament.En: "Thank you, little one," she said, hugging him tightly.Ca: "Sempre tindré tothom al meu cor, no importa on sigui.En: "I will always have everyone in my heart, no matter where I am."Ca: "Els tres van sortir cap a l'entrada de la comunitat.En: The three of them headed towards the community's entrance.Ca: La Laia li va agafar la mà a Aina.En: Laia took Aina's hand.Ca: Els dos amics es van mirar sense paraules.En: The two friends looked at each other without words.Ca: Finalment, Aina va posar el collaret a la seva bossa, com un símbol que els records viatjarien amb ella.En: Finally, Aina placed the necklace in her bag, as a symbol that the memories would travel with her.Ca: Al límit de la comunitat, Aina es va girar per fer un últim cop d'ull a casa seva.En: At the edge of the community, Aina turned to take one last look at her home.Ca: Els records van inundar el seu cor amb una barreja de nostàlgia i expectació.En: Memories flooded her heart with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation.Ca: Sabia que cada nou començament significa deixar enrere una part del passat, però també estava a punt d'abraçar l'inconegut amb tota la seva força.En: She knew that every new beginning means leaving a part of the past behind, but she was also ready to embrace the unknown with all her strength.Ca: Posant-se les ulleres de sol, va agafar aire i va pujar al cotxe.En: Putting on her sunglasses, she took a breath and got into the car.Ca: Les flors es balancejaven amb el vent mentre conduïa cap a la seva nova vida.En: The flowers swayed in the wind as she drove towards her new life.Ca: La decisió estava presa: seguiria els seus somnis i afrontaria la incertesa amb valentia.En: The decision was made: she would follow her dreams and face uncertainty with courage.Ca: Aina va aprendre que créixer sovint significa deixar anar.En: Aina learned that growing up often means letting go.Ca: A mesura que el cotxe s'allunyava, la imatge de la comunitat es va fer petita al retrovisor, però en el seu cor sabia que mai perdria els seus llaços.En: As the car drove away, the image of the community grew smaller in the rearview mirror, but in her heart, she knew she would never lose her connections.Ca: Els portaria sempre amb ella, onsevulga que anés.En: She would carry them with her, wherever she went.
