    Hours From Death, She Saw the Other Side — And Learned What's Killing Us | Anita Moorjani (#269)
    Jul 6 2026
    Everyone knows Anita Moorjani's near-death story. This conversation is about what almost no one asks — what she actually understood in that coma, and why she says fear, not cancer, was killing her. In our first episode together, Anita walked through her NDE in full — the 30-hour coma, the 360° awareness, meeting her late father on the other side. This time we go deeper: past the event and into the realization that reshaped how she lives. If you've ever wondered what happens when you die — or what it should change about how you're living right now — this one goes somewhere the retellings don't. ▶️ LISTEN TO PART ONE — Anita's full NDE story: On Youtube - https://youtu.be/FAXaLVk53Hs⁠ On Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3G0igZP7qVAbB2a01Ky941?si=30718214a3894691 Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-near-death-experience-that-changed-everything/id1498553334?i=1000758295416 For more information on Anita Moorjani check her links out here: https://linktr.ee/anitamoorjani?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Submit Your Email If you're looking for Grief Support check out our new Grief Journey App www.studio.com/griefjourney Support the Show Join the DEAD Talks Patreon for just $2 to support the mission—and get episodes early & ad-free!

  • I Discovered I'm a Psychic Medium with the help of two mediums (#268)

    I Discovered I'm a Psychic Medium with the help of two mediums (#268)
    Jun 29 2026
    I never planned to become a psychic medium. But when I closed my eyes and said whatever came up — an apple, a pixel, ice cubes — two professional mediums couldn't explain what I was seeing. Then one time on the way home, something happened that I still can't fully rationalize. A stranger screamed my name in the street. The hosts of Medium Curious Podcast Jane Morgan and Sarah Rathke join the show to talk mediumship, afterlife and how we can all tap into this. I was on their podcast as a guest where they asked me to do a cold reading on them. In this podcast we break that down.

  • The Loneliness Nobody Talks About After Death with Dr. Sylvia K (#267)

    The Loneliness Nobody Talks About After Death with Dr. Sylvia K (#267)
    Jun 22 2026
    Doctors said her mom was schizophrenic. She wasn't — she had a brain aneurysm, and it killed her 4 months later. Dr. Sylvia Kay was 2 when her grandmother kidnapped her and her brother to escape a home unraveling under grief and misdiagnosis. She didn't speak again for months. On this episode, host David Ferrugio talks with Dr. Sylvia Kay — psychotherapist and author of Lonely AF — about how childhood grief becomes lifelong loneliness, growing up enmeshed with a narcissistic parent, the therapy exercise that exposed years of self-hate she didn't know she carried, and how a Joe Dispenza manifestation practice helped her land her first book deal. 📖 Get Lonely AF:https://drsylviak.com/lonely-af 📷 @drsylviakay 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zvVqjRGtCnQ My first book “You’re Not Dead Yet”: https://www.deadtalks.net/book Sign Up For E-Mail Updates Here > Submit Your Email If you're looking for Grief Support check out our new Grief Journey App www.studio.com/griefjourney Support the Show Join the DEAD Talks Patreon for just $2 to support the mission—and get episodes early & ad-free!
