    What Hospice Nurses Know About Death— With Christa McDonald | EP 485

    What if the people who've spent the most time at the threshold of death have something to teach the rest of us about how to live?

    Christa McDonald has spent more than 20 years as a hospice nurse, watching thousands of people take their final breaths. What she's witnessed has reshaped everything she believes about death, grief, connection, and the soul. In this conversation, she brings that hard-won wisdom straight to you — and some of it will unsettle you in the best possible way.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • How Christa's calling found her — from candy striper at 13 to hospice nurse, EMT, and founder of a national bereavement community
    • Why she believes the way you live is the way you will die — and what that means for the choices you're making right now
    • What terminal agitation really is, and why the soul has more to do with a difficult death than morphine ever could
    • The myth of closure — and why "moving on" may be one of the most harmful things we say to grieving people
    • How to maintain a genuine continuing bond with someone you've lost
    • The power of presence — Christa's #1 lesson from her book and her career
    • Broken heart syndrome: what it is, how real it is, and who's most at risk
    • What shared death experiences look like from the bedside
    • How Christa's stepfather's passing became the catalyst for GLADD — and why she says we need to stop being sad and mad and start being GLADD

    About Christa McDonald:

    Christa McDonald is a hospice nurse, death doula, soul worker, speaker, and the founder of GLADD (Grieving Loss After Death and Dying) — the world's first international online bereavement community. She is the author of Eight Lessons Dying Has Taught Me and runs a hospice home dedicated to transforming the way we approach death and dying. Her coaching practice, Soul Worker, helps people heal on a soul level — in life and at the end of it.

    Dawn Brunke's Eight Week Conversation With Her Deceased Husband Bob | EP 484

    What if death didn't end the conversation?

    When Dawn Baumann Brunke's husband Bob died suddenly in September 2024, she had 20 years of experience communicating with animals across the veil. But nothing fully prepared her for losing her partner of 33 years. What happened in the eight weeks that followed became her most extraordinary book yet — Talks with Bob: A True Story of Love, Death and Life in the Afterlife.

    Every morning, Dawn would settle in with her coffee, open her laptop, and keep talking to Bob. And Bob kept answering. What he shared from the other side — about his passing, about what the afterlife actually looks like, about love and expansion and time — is tender, surprising, and deeply hopeful.

    This episode is especially close to my heart. I work with widows and widowers every day, and the fears they carry are real. Is my loved one okay? Do they still think about me? Will I ever feel close to them again? Dawn's story doesn't just offer comfort — it offers evidence. And I moved her up months in my booking queue the moment I finished this book.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What Bob experienced at the moment of his death — and why he didn't suffer
    • The "bridge" between the living and the dead, and how you can meet your loved one there
    • Why your loved ones are still with you, still growing, and haven't forgotten you
    • Parallel lives, alternate timelines, and the eternal NOW
    • How to open yourself to connection — even if you're not a medium or animal communicator

    About Dawn Baumann Brunke: Dawn Baumann Brunke is an author, animal communicator, and dream enthusiast living in Alaska. She is the author of 10 books exploring consciousness, animal communication, and the nature of reality. Her latest, Talks with Bob, documents eight weeks of daily conversations with her late husband from the afterlife. A second book in the series is coming within weeks of this recording.

    MEDIUMSHIP INSIGHTS: Techniques, Limitations, and Best Practices with Kat B

    Kat and I are friends going back a couple of years. We each have a daughter in spirit. Kat is the affiliate leader of the UK Helping Parents Heal group. Kat had a successful business career before having a Kundalini awakening experience and becoming a professional medium. In addition to mediumship, Kat practices multiple healing modalities.

    Kat heard my episode on mediumship and wanted to have a conversation about me using the word "imagination" to describe what mediumship is like. In this conversation, we talk about the different types of mediumship, how mediumship works, the limitations of mediumship, and how you can have the best experience when you go for a reading.

    You can reach Kat at: https://kat-b.com/ 

    She is available for mediumship readings and offers other healing services as well.

    Talking to Lost Loved Ones With AI | John Kammer EP 483

    What if you could finally have the conversation you never got to finish?

    John Kammer lost three of his closest friends in just a few years — each loss sudden, each one leaving words unsaid. Out of that grief, and after more than a decade of silence and struggle, John built Guardian A(i)ngels (guardianaingels.ai) — an AI-powered interactive journal designed to help grieving people find language for what they're carrying, work through guilt and unresolved emotion, and move toward healing at their own pace.

    This isn't a conversation with the dead. It's a conversation with yourself — guided, responsive, and available whenever you need it.

    In this episode, Brian and John explore what it really means to grieve as a man, why the "hero story" has robbed men of permission to be vulnerable, and how an unexpected conversation with his wife sparked an idea that would change John's life — and the lives of the people he now serves.

    In this episode:

    • Why men are conditioned to grieve in silence — and what it costs them
    • The moment John finally had permission to forgive himself
    • The difference between closure and resolution
    • How Guardian A(i)ngels works as an interactive grief journal (not a digital séance)
    • The four tasks of grief — and why the five stages fall short
    • The 10-week Foundations program and how it builds the grief muscle over time
    • Why radical transparency is at the heart of everything John does

    About John Kammer John Kammer is a new father, dedicated husband, and the founder of Guardian A(i)ngels (guardianaingels.ai) — an AI grief journaling platform built from his own experience of losing three close friends. John is passionate about bringing grief out of the shadows, especially for men, and committed to helping people do the work at their own pace, on their own terms.

    Microdosing for Grief: Heal and Reconnect with Your Loved Ones | Kayse Gehret | EP 482

    What if grief could be metabolized — not just managed?

    Most of us have been told to process grief through talking, reading, and time. And those things help. But what if there's a layer of grief stored in your body that talk therapy simply can't reach? What if the density of your pain is the very thing blocking you from feeling the spiritual connection you're desperate for?

    That's exactly what today's guest has spent years helping people discover.

    Kayse Gehret is the founder of Microdosing for Healing, a global community spanning more than 30 countries, and the creator of the first professional microdosing facilitator training program. With nearly three decades in holistic wellness, Kayse has guided thousands of people — including many who have lost children — through psilocybin microdosing practices that go where other healing modalities can't.

    In this conversation, Kayse shares her own story: how she lost her father at age seven, developed a grand mal seizure disorder in her teens, and how microdosing not only stopped her seizures but opened a spiritual connection she couldn't reach any other way. She also breaks down exactly what microdosing is, who it's for, and how to know if you're ready.

    In this episode we explore:

    • The difference between microdosing and a full psychedelic journey — and why that distinction matters for people who are fearful
    • How psilocybin metabolizes grief stored in the body, releasing layers even years of therapy couldn't touch
    • Why grief and fear are the two biggest blocks to spiritual connection with our loved ones
    • The role of community, guides, and intention in making microdosing truly effective
    • What to expect in the first weeks — from heightened senses to vivid dreams to unexpected signs from those who have passed
    • How to know if you're emotionally ready — and what to do first if you're not
    • The sacred 3–5am window and why loved ones so often come through during those hours

    What You Don't Know About Grief | With Amanda Beth Johnson | EP 481

    What if grief isn't something to get over — but something to grow through?

    In this powerful episode, Brian sits down with intuitive healer, ThetaHealing practitioner, and bestselling author Amanda Beth Johnson, who was widowed at just 27 years old when her husband Jeff was killed suddenly in a car accident. Nearly 30 years later, Amanda has transformed that devastating loss into a life of service — helping others navigate the emotional, physical, and spiritual terrain of grief with wisdom that can only come from having lived it.

    This conversation goes places most grief discussions never reach. Amanda opens up about the premonition dream she'd been having since age 12, the guilt of moving forward after loss, why healing isn't linear but layered, and how energy medicine and ThetaHealing can access what talk therapy sometimes can't touch. 

    If you've been wondering why grief keeps showing up even years after your loss, or whether it's possible to carry your person forward without staying stuck — this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why the five stages of grief are widely misunderstood — and what to expect instead
    • The "rock in a jar" model of grief that changed how Amanda thinks about healing
    • What ThetaHealing is and why it works at a level that surprises people
    • How to honor your person's memory in healthy versus unhealthy ways
    • The role of intuition, energy work, and somatic healing in grief recovery
    • Why moving forward is not betrayal — and how your person may actually be cheering you on
    • What Amanda would tell her 27-year-old self about feeling the feelings

    Born a Medium: How Fara Gibson Uses Mediumship and Grief Healing to Prove Love Never Dies | EP

    What if the most painful moments of your life were actually part of a plan? And what if the people you've lost are closer than you ever imagined — just three feet away?

    In this beautiful, wide-ranging conversation, Brian welcomes spiritual messenger and author Fara Gibson for a long-overdue first interview. Fara has been sharing messages from heaven her entire life — without training, without a roadmap, and for years, without telling a single soul. Today she opens up about all of it: how her gifts unfolded, what soul communication really feels like, where heaven actually is, and why even the most devastating losses carry deep spiritual meaning.

    This one will stay with you.

    In This Episode:

    • How Fara's mediumistic abilities developed from childhood — and why she kept them secret for years
    • What soul communication actually feels and looks like from the inside
    • Where heaven really is (spoiler: it's only 3 feet above your floor)
    • Why losses through suicide, addiction, and accidents are not random — and how soul plans bring meaning to the unthinkable
    • Why Helping Parents Heal has Fara's whole heart — and what she's observed about grieving dads specifically
    • The no-filter bar story that perfectly captures why Fara delivers messages the way she does
    • What your loved ones in spirit most want you to know

    About Fara Gibson: Fara Gibson is a spiritual messenger, psychic medium, and author of four books including How Do I Live Life When My Child Is in Heaven and Heaven Is Within Us. Her work is rooted in a lifelong connection with spirit, and her no-BS, deeply compassionate style has made her one of the most sought-after mediums in the grief community. She is scheduling approximately 8 months out — and as she says, an honest reading is worth the wait.

    Verified Near-Death Experiences: Proof of an Afterlife with Simon Bown | EP 479

    The materialist argument that consciousness ends with the brain has a serious problem: the evidence. 

    In this episode, I sit down with Simon Bown — clinical hypnotherapist, past life regression guide, and author of Verified Near-Death Experiences: Proof of an Afterlife — to examine the cases that no materialist theory can explain.

    Simon has interviewed hundreds of NDE experiencers across more than 900 podcast episodes. His book focuses on 30 verified cases — people who witnessed real, confirmable events while clinically dead. The details were checked. The witnesses were interviewed. The evidence holds up.

    We dig into the Pamela Reynolds case, Tibor's astonishing out-of-body journey 7 kilometers from the hospital, and Barbara Bartolome's resuscitation — plus the bigger picture of what NDEs tell us about consciousness, reincarnation, remote viewing, and what it means to be human.

    Topics covered in this episode:

    • What "verified" (veridical) means and why it matters
    • The Pamela Reynolds case — the gold standard of NDE evidence
    • Barbara Bartolome — killed by a medical error and back to describe it
    • Tibor Rudnicki — consciousness traveling 7km from a hospital while in cardiac arrest
    • The brain-as-receiver model of consciousness
    • Common NDE themes: tunnels, life reviews, barriers, deceased loved ones
    • NDE aftereffects — returning with new abilities and gifts
    • Past life regression and its connection to NDEs

    About Simon Bown: Simon Bown is a clinical hypnotherapist, past life regression facilitator, and host of the Paranormal Afterlife and Alien UFO Podcast — with over 900 combined episodes exploring NDEs, reincarnation, and consciousness. His new book, Verified Near-Death Experiences: Proof of an Afterlife, brings together 30 rigorously documented cases, each confirmed by the experiencers themselves.

    He Died for 3 Hours — The Near Death Experience Transformation That Changed Everything | Jonathan Ashford | EP 478


    What happens when someone doesn't just brush the edge of death — but actually crosses over?

    On May 22nd, 2023, Jonathan Ashford's organs failed. He collapsed alone on his bathroom floor at 4:30 in the morning, clinically dead for three hours. When he woke up, his temperature was 94 degrees — and the man who had lived inside that body for 25 years was gone.

    The corporate executive who dismissed spirituality, chased material success, and would have laughed in your face if you mentioned an NDE — he didn't come back. What returned was something profoundly different. And what Jonathan experienced during those three hours may be the most complete account of the other side you'll ever hear.

    In this episode, Jonathan shares what he was shown, what he was taught, and why he came back.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What the other side looked like, felt like, and how he was welcomed by a being of love
    • The life review — and how he felt the ripple of his actions through every person he'd ever affected
    • The teachings he was given about time, consciousness, free will, and our connection to all things
    • Why he chose to come back — and what he sacrificed to do it
    • The psychic gifts (all the clairs) he returned with and how he uses them only to serve others
    • What he wants grieving people to know about the love that surrounds them right now

    About Jonathan Ashford

    Jonathan Ashford is a near-death experience survivor, spiritual messenger, and member of IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) and the NDERF Research Studies. After dying from sepsis-induced organ failure in May 2023, Jonathan returned completely transformed — leaving behind his career, his possessions, and his former identity. He now offers spiritual guidance and private sessions free of charge, living entirely on donations. He does not self-promote. He was told not to.

    My Daughter Predicted Her Own Death — And Never Stopped Talking to Me | Louise Crist | EP 477


    What if your daughter spent years telling you exactly how she was going to die — and then kept communicating after she did?

    That's the extraordinary story Louise Crist lives every day. In this episode, Louise shares the most remarkable account of a child predicting their own death and continued after-death communication I've ever featured on this podcast. From premonitions that began at age four, to the moment Jilly's voice came through minutes after the accident saying "I jumped — I didn't feel a thing," to signs so undeniable they've moved total strangers — this conversation will change the way you think about death, love, and what comes after.

    If you've lost a child and wondered whether they're still with you, Louise's answer — backed by story after story — is yes.

    About Louise Crist: Louise is a registered nurse with decades of bedside experience, a certified grief educator, a shining light parent, and the author of Always Remember to Kiss Me Goodnight. All proceeds from the book fund scholarships for future healthcare professionals in Jilly's honor — over 115 scholarships awarded to date. Louise is also an affiliate leader with Helping Parents Heal.

    📖 Always Remember to Kiss Me Goodnight — available on Amazon 🌐 Helping Parents Heal: helpingparentsheal.org

    In this episode we cover:

    • Jilly's premonitions from age 4 and how they all came true
    • What "I jumped" means and why it matters for every grieving parent
    • The ring that appeared under a funeral home table
    • The quarter buried a foot underground — and why Jilly sends quarters
    • How forgiveness unlocked a profound connection from the other side
    • Louise's emerging mediumship gifts and what she's learned to see
    • How to stop missing the signs your loved ones are sending
