In this episode, we talk about the energy that connects us, the experiences that crack us open, and the quiet ways we start to make sense of death. The caller, a nurse and Reiki practitioner, shares how being in the room with people as they passed began to reshape everything she thought she knew.

We talk about mystical experiences, dreams that feel like visitations, and why she believes consciousness doesn’t end when the body does. From a childhood fascination with mummies to a meditation where she briefly became a tree, this is a conversation about presence, transition, and the strange beauty of being alive.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Favorite Books: The Diary of Anne Frank, The Bell Jar, and a childhood book on Egyptian Mummies
  • Early encounters with death and a fascination that never left
  • Working as an ER nurse and the moment a patient came to her in a dream
  • Learning about psychopomps and guiding souls between worlds
  • Practicing Reiki and connecting with her grandmother’s energy before she passed
  • What it means to be part of a vast, infinite web, and how that might shape what comes next
