She Came Back From Death With a Truth You Need to Hear | Kathy Buckley on Living Beyond Pain


đź“„ Show Notes:

In this unforgettable episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, Marci Shimoff sits down with comedian, actress, author, and inspirational speaker Kathy Buckley—whose story reads like a Hollywood movie… except it’s real.

Kathy was misdiagnosed as mentally challenged, survived a tragic accident that left her in a wheelchair for years, faced sexual abuse in her home, battled cancer—twice—and even died on the beach after being run over by a lifeguard jeep.

But what happened after she died is the turning point of this entire conversation. Kathy experienced a divine love beyond anything imaginable—and she came back from death not only with a story, but with a truth that will shake you awake.

In this powerful interview, you’ll learn:

  • What Kathy experienced during her near-death moment

  • How divine love can be felt even in life’s darkest places

  • Why forgiveness isn’t about the past—it’s about freedom

  • How she turned pain into purpose and became one of America’s most beloved speakers

  • Why living in the miracle zone is a choice you can make every day

✨ This conversation is raw, unfiltered, and filled with both humor and heart. If you’ve struggled with trauma, self-worth, or the fear of truly living—this episode is for you.
