In this powerful and emotional episode, entrepreneur and mother of eight, Holly Porter, shares the deeply transformative story of her near-death experience (NDE) during a severe battle with COVID-19 in 2021. Holly describes in vivid and spiritual detail what she encountered beyond the veil, including a life review, a stadium-like heavenly realm, an angelic choir (that she joined), and a message of unconditional love.
One of the most moving parts of Holly’s NDE was her life review, where only moments of kindness, service, and hugs were shown—expressions of love that mattered most. There was no judgment or guilt, only the clear message: “This is what mattered.” Yet, she also recalled a haunting feeling of having been kidnapped from that realm, a mystery later unraveled during a hypnosis session when she discovered an entity had attempted to steal her light, pulling her into an in-between space. Despite the interference, her experiences remained filled with divine clarity and healing.
A central message she brought back was clear and transformative: “Love them where they’re at.” These five words reshaped how Holly views relationships, judgment, and forgiveness—reminding us all to meet others with empathy and acceptance, exactly as they are.
Her story doesn’t stop with her NDE. Holly also dives into her spiritual transformation experience (STE) and multiple out-of-body experiences (OBEs) while hospitalized. She recounts how these experiences, along with a later hypnosis session, filled in the gaps of her journey and confirmed her divine purpose.
