Ep. 195: Near Death Experiences

All Episodes

January 10, 2024 • 117 mins

If you suddenly find yourself in a dark tunnel experiencing an overwhelming feeling of love and peace, and being drawn towards a bright light, you might be dead. Or you might be one of the 9 million Americans who have had a Near Death Experience (and you're about to be brought back to life by medical science.) This week, Hannah tells Katy about the crazy phenomenon that is Near Death Experiences: something experienced by people of all ages, cultures, orientations, etc. with a remarkable degree of consistency. It gets a little science-y, but the girls talk falling off mountains, anesthesia awareness, videos that make them cry (aka: children hearing for the first time and dogs being reunited with their owners), and so much more. This is truly a topic you can get lost in, so buckle up!

Pour the drinks, get a snack, and settle in for this tale of life after death!
