Jaimie Alexander Was Dying When a Voice Asked Her to Choose: Stay or Go (#271) 20.07.2026 1u 14min

In 2018, Jaimie Alexander's ruptured appendix nearly killed her. During her near-death experience, a voice spoke to her — and asked her to choose: stay or go. Most people know Jaimie from Blindspot and Thor. But this episode isn't about Hollywood. It's about the night her body started failing — and the spiritual encounter that changed the rest of her life. She's rarely opened up about this publicly. The voice she heard. The choice she was given. The reason she chose to stay — and what a doctor told her immediately after that she was completely unprepared for.In this conversation, we go deep on: → How she almost didn't make it to the hospital in time → The near-death experience she had during emergency surgery → What the voice said — and why she answered the way she did → How coming that close to dying led to her sobriety → What death taught her about how to actually live For more on Jaime Alexander: @jaimiealexander 📚 Grab David's book You're Not Dead Yet: ⁠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!

God Is Infinitely Vulnerable — And He Needs YOU | Rabbi Manis Friedman (#270) 13.07.2026 1u 5min

What if nothing bad has ever happened? Not once. Not to anyone. Rabbi Manis Friedman made that claim — and then I told him about losing my dad on 9/11. What followed changed how I think about everything. Rabbi Manis Friedman — one of the most respected Jewish thinkers alive — joins the show for the second time and argues that God is not all-powerful and self-sufficient. He's infinitely vulnerable. And He desperately needs YOU. This isn't theology for theologians. It's a reframe that hits grief, depression, purpose, and the question everyone asks after loss: why did this happen? If you've ever asked what happens when you die, why God allows suffering, or whether your life actually matters — this conversation is for you. Missed our first conversation?

Hours From Death, She Saw the Other Side — And Learned What's Killing Us | Anita Moorjani (#269) 06.07.2026 1u 7min

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&ltsid=9aa5070c-6531-42b4-af2b-d2e0c7b2ebab 📚 Grab David's book You're Not Dead Yet: 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!

I Discovered I'm a Psychic Medium with the help of two mediums (#268) 29.06.2026 1u 3min

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) 22.06.2026 1u

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!

Psychologist Explains Why Therapy Ignores the Soul (#265) 08.06.2026 1u

Dr. Amy Robbins is a clinical psychologist who bridges the clinical world with the spiritual one — and what she's uncovering is hard to ignore. 60-70% of people say spirituality was a key part of their mental health journey. Only 5% of therapists are trained in it at all. In this episode, Amy shares the after-death visit from her aunt that changed everything, why the word "psyche" literally means soul (and what that says about modern therapy), and how she's quietly training clinicians to finally bring the whole person into the room. 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

What Happens Right Before Death? A Hospice Doctor Explains | Dr. Kerr (#258) 20.04.2026 51min

What actually happens right before we die? In this episode, Dr. Christopher Kerr — a physician, neurobiologist, and leading researcher in end-of-life care — shares what decades of research reveal about the dying process. After studying patients for nearly 30 years, he’s found that over 80% of people report vivid dreams and visions as they approach death — often involving loved ones who have already passed. These experiences are not random, not chaotic, and not simply hallucinations. They follow clear patterns and are often deeply comforting. We explore the science behind these moments, what they might mean for consciousness, and how they shape the way we experience grief. This is a conversation that sits at the intersection of science, spirituality, and the human experience.
