After sharing Melissa Demery’s deeply moving story, two weeks ago, something unexpected happened…

Hundreds of you reached out — sharing your own experiences of loss, connection, and moments that felt impossible to explain. Stories of sensing your loved ones, dreaming of them, feeling their presence… and knowing, somehow, they were still with you.

In this follow-up episode, I sit down with psychic medium and psychiatric nurse Rebecca Gibson to explore the question we all ask at some point:

What actually happens when we die?

This is not about proving one truth — it’s about opening a conversation.

Together, we explore:
The difference between the body and the “soul”
What happens in the moments around death
Why so many people experience signs from loved ones
Dreams, sensations, and unexplainable connections
Different spiritual and religious perspectives on the afterlife
The role of belief, scepticism, and grief
And ultimately… what this means for how we live

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered:
“Are they still with me?”

And for those who have felt it… and just needed to know they’re not alone.

Books Mentioned in This Episode:
Many Lives, Many Masters – Dr. Brian Weiss
Proof of Heaven – Dr. Eben Alexander
Angels in My Hair – Lorna Byrne
Where Spirits Dwell – Karina Machado

Hey Soul Sista 

In this deeply moving conversation, we explore what happens when we die, the nature of the soul, and the signs many people believe show that our loved ones are still with us.
