Life, Death & The Space Between with Dr. Amy Robbins

I've sat with many mediums, but watching Connie Fusella work is something else entirely. In this episode, she reads for Lori—a woman she's never met, never spoken to, no emails, no connection of any kind. What comes through will stop you. A father who carries regret. A daughter gone too soon. And a message about forgiveness that lands exactly where Lori needs it. This is mediumship at its most raw and honest, and it shows what happens when spirit meets an open heart.

What if your entire life flashed before your eyes—not as a highlight reel, but as a vivid review where you felt every emotion you ever caused? My guest today, Connie Fusella, experienced exactly that during the first of three near-death experiences. Connie is a certified medium with the Forever Family Foundation, and her journey is unlike any I’ve shared before. We talk about her initial reluctance to embrace her abilities, the profound shifts after her NDEs, and her groundbreaking work communicating with non-speaking autistic children. This is part one of a powerful two-part series, and I know you’...

This is a huge milestone for me — 500 episodes of Life, Death, and the Space Between.

I wanted to celebrate by going back through the archives and pulling the moments that have moved me the most over these past eight years. From Dr. Lisa Miller's research on the awakened brain to Dr. Tony Ciccoria's incredible near-death experience after being struck by lightning, from hospice nurse Julie's shared death experience to Caroline Myss's fierce wisdom on faith — these are the conversations that have shaped this podcast and deepened my understanding of consciousness, grief, and what happens when we die...

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes a global one? In this episode, I’m joined again by my friend David Ferrugio, and he shares how losing his father on 9/11 at just 12 years old shattered his world and forced a profound rebirth. We explore the illusion of control, how family members grieve on different paths, and the profound, sometimes loud, signs from his dad that confirmed we are never truly gone. David’s new book, You’re Not Dead Yet, is a masterclass in transforming grief into a life fully lived, and our conversation is a powerful reminder that while...

I never expected to have a channel for Yeshua on the show. But when Carissa Schumacher agreed to come on, I knew this conversation would be different. She channels transmissions that people are calling a new sacred text—right up there with the Bhagavad Gita and A Course in Miracles. We talk about the death of the old era, the rise of the feminine, and why sacred texts are actually activation codes for what you already know. This is one of those episodes I almost didn't record because I was too afraid to ask. I'm so glad I did.

I have to admit, I was skeptical of Ken Lloyd’s story. A self-taught cybersecurity pioneer who built and sold multimillion-dollar companies wakes up one morning, and everything—anger, interests, identity—is gone. What followed was a walk-in soul aspect, a complete rewiring, and now he channels the Divine Authority. We go deep into chakras, light codes, activations, and the Library of Creation, and you’ll hear a live light language transmission. This one is unlike anything we’ve done.

A woman walks into an ER with chest pain, vertigo, and dizziness. Every test comes back normal—no heart attack, no stroke. Most doctors would discharge her. But Dr. Adam Rizvi asks one question: “What is going on in your life?” And everything unravels. A decade of buried pain, an abandoned commitment, a pattern of abuse she fell back into. With just his presence and willingness to listen, she starts to heal herself. Dr. Rizvi doesn’t see himself as a healer—he’s a facilitator of love. He’s a critical care neurologist who has witnessed deathbed visions, shared death e...

Imagine growing up where family gatherings meant 30 to 40 people watching your grandmother slip into trance and speak in voices that weren't her own. That was just any given Sunday for Dr. Helané Wahbeh. She spent years hiding this from academia until she found the Institute for Noetic Sciences, where she's now the Director of Research. Helané didn't just study channeling—she learned to do it. What she discovered through her research and personal experience is that we are all capable of tapping into something beyond ourselves. The messages that come through are remarkably consistent: we are so much more than...

You know that voice in your head—the one narrating your life, criticizing your choices, and keeping you up at night? Dr. Chris Niebauer caught his red-handed after a colonoscopy when his "unremarkable" colon actually offended his inner voice. He started laughing because he finally saw it for what it is: a thought, not the truth. With a PhD in cognitive psychology and over two decades of research, Chris has arrived at the same place Buddhist teachers discovered centuries ago—the self isn't a real thing. It's a mirage. In this conversation, we get playful with the left and righ...

In 1981, Scott Taylor sat bedside of a seven-year-old boy named Nolan. When Nolan's heart stopped, Scott went with him. He experienced a shared death—Mary Fran, Nolan's mother who had died six days earlier, came across the veil, scooped up her son, and the three of them went to the light together. Scott kept this secret for years. When he finally shared it with Mary Fran's sister Lolly, she described the exact same experience. Scott spent decades trying to get back to that state—traveling the world, visiting sacred sites, chasing the magic. Then he discovered binaural beats. Now he t...

My guest today is a serious scientist. Dr. Neil Theise is a pathologist and stem cell researcher whose work has been featured in Nature, Science, and Cell. He's also a Zen practitioner. For decades, he kept those worlds separate—until his own body forced them together. But what really got me? His 82-year-old mother. She had dementia, talked to dead people, traveled out of body, and described space and time as "chopped into pieces." Her Parkinson's disappeared. Her blood pressure normalized. She called it the happiest time of her life. Neil wrote Notes on Complexity to lay the groundwork. Hi...

In 1985, my guest's husband left for work and never came home. Ten days later, she identified his body parts in a Detroit morgue. She also discovered he'd been living a secret double life. Dr. Jan Canty is a psychologist who spent 30 years in silence—until a podcast for homicide survivors brought her back. The night he went missing, Jan looked in a mirror and heard herself say, "He's dead. He's not coming home." She buried that moment for decades. Today, she helps others heal through after-death communication and community. This episode aired on July 20th—the exact day Jan lear...

What if the voice on the mountain is real? My guest today, Suzanne Ross, was living the so-called American dream when her hair started falling out and her body began shutting down. On a vacation in the California desert, she ran to a mountaintop, threw her arms up, and said, "I am miserable in the extreme and I see no way out." In that instant, she was surrounded by divine love and heard: Stay here, heal yourself, and then heal others. She ran down a different woman. Thirty years later, she's been teaching what she calls quantum love—a lo...

Grief broke her open in a way 24 years of working with the dying never did. I sat with Cheryl Page—a clinical researcher turned mystic—and she told me something that stopped me cold: the last day you made a memory with someone you love isn't the day they died. She calls it a vibrationship—a relationship that doesn't end, it just changes frequency. Cheryl lost her beloved Scott in 2017, and instead of collapsing, she started asking questions that didn't fit the scientific box she'd lived in her whole career. She learned to ask out loud, every single day, and th...

Caregiving is quietly breaking millions of people, and no one warns you it will break you too. I brought Roy Remer on to talk about the one thing every caregiver needs to hear—empathy without action doesn't heal anyone, it burns you alive. Roy is a meditation teacher, hospice volunteer, and author of Zen Caregiving. He's sat at the bedside of people in their final hours, and he's distilled everything he learned into a path that doesn't ask you to do more—it asks you to show up differently. This conversation will change how you see yourself, your loved ones...

What if your brain doesn't produce consciousness any more than a radio produces the music? My guest today is Dr. Arnaud Delorme, a computational neuroscientist at UC San Diego and the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He wires up Tibetan monks and mediums to see what actually happens in their brains. When a medium connects with a loved one on the other side, he expected brain activity to spike. Instead, it went almost silent. The more accurate they were, the more their working memory shut down. As if the information wasn't coming from inside them at all. Arnaud started asking "...

My guest today, Cody Cook-Parrott, used to bargain with alcohol. Then they caught themselves making the same deals with Instagram. Just ten minutes. Only on Tuesdays. They had 70,000 followers and deleted every single one. Not paused. Gone. We talk about why your willpower is not the problem, how your attention is being stolen by design, and the one question that can pull you out of any doom-scroll: What am I avoiding? A friend once told Cody, "God is not in your phone." This conversation is about what you find when you finally look away.

I’ve meditated for years, but lately my mind explodes with tabs the second I sit down. Regina Leffers has meditated daily for 45 years, and she just reframed everything for me. Turns out, you might already be meditating without knowing it. Five seconds of genuine gratitude shifts your brainwaves. Heart-mind coherence changes the energy of any room. And consciousness isn’t a ladder—it’s a rubber band. If you’ve ever said “meditation isn’t for me,” this conversation is your permission slip.

Julia Mossbridge was studied by the government as a child, recruited by them as a young adult, and is now revolutionizing how we understand consciousness. Her work with non-speaking autistics on the Telepathy Tapes is just the beginning. We talk about time travel therapy, unconditional love labs, and why healing trauma may be simpler than we think. This one will stretch your mind.

What if the real danger isn't machines waking up, but us staying asleep? I sat with AI strategist and Reiki master Bruce Randall to untangle the collision of data, quantum computing, and the soul. We get real about the four-year-old wisdom inside us, why a paralyzed man moving a cursor with his mind changes everything, and how to stay spiritually relevant when technology outpaces our awareness. No fear. Just the truth about consciousness in a digital world.

Microdosing is everywhere right now, but most people are doing it completely wrong. In this conversation with Paul Austin, founder of Third Wave and author of Mastering Microdosing, we dive deep into why the sub-perceptual model everyone talks about misses the mark, how microdosing differs fundamentally from meditation (and why that matters), and what the latest clinical research actually shows. We explore the overlooked power of intention, the neuroscience of the 5-HT2A receptor, and why Albert Hoffman may have been onto something for those final 30 years of his life. If you're curious about psychedelics but don't know where...

I spent two weeks in unity consciousness once—pure oneness, no suffering, no problems. Then I woke up and watched it all slip away. My guest Aaron Abke, author of Three Beliefs of the Ego, knows exactly what that feels like. Your ego isn't your enemy; it's a mental habit of grabbing onto form. Sadness, anger, and fear aren't obstacles—they're your internal GPS pointing directly to three beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. This conversation flips the script on chasing enlightenment through retreats and plant medicines. You don't need more freedom. You just need to know where you're pointing your...

Spirituality has become a solo sport—meditation apps, yoga mats, and wellness routines that comfort us while the world burns. This conversation with Rainn Wilson and Shabnam Mogharabi flipped something in me. What if our peace practices are actually keeping us stuck? The kind of awakening that shifts anything real doesn't happen in solitude. It happens when you cross the street and show up for someone else. We unpack why we threw community out with religious trauma, how to rebuild sacred connection without institutions, and what a soul boom revolution actually demands from us. This one rearranged some things in...

I didn't expect to talk about galactic beings today. But eight months ago, a blue light materialized in Crystal Cassidy's living room—between Zoom meetings. Then came her NDE during COVID, ships over her parents' house, and a whole new take on surrender. She met death like an old friend. Now she channels interdimensional beings who say they're here to help us wake up. This one got weird fast, and somehow it all made sense.

A Princeton-trained PhD researcher walked away from academia's pinnacle because the biggest questions weren't being asked. What she found wasn't in a lab. It was in the intuitive gifts her field trained her to dismiss. Victoria Shaw spent years at Columbia and Princeton before realizing even brilliant minds don't reason toward truth—they find facts that fit their beliefs. The science on psychic phenomena is some of the most replicable data out there. We've just been taught it doesn't count. This conversation changed how I see intuition. Not as soft or unreliable, but as our primary instrument.

Spirit doesn’t shout. It whispers through your rage, your grief, and the signs you’ve been brushing off. In this conversation, Aycee Brown and I get real about why your anger might actually be your fastest connection to your guides, why medication isn’t a spiritual failure, and why you can’t manifest your way out of systemic oppression. If you’re tired of bypassing your humanness in the name of being “light,” this one’s for you.

If you've ever walked into a room and felt the tension before anyone spoke, or made a decision you knew was right but couldn’t logically explain, you already know what we’re talking about. For years, I kept my own spiritual side locked away, afraid it didn’t belong in the professional world. Michele Phillips not only lived that split—she figured out how to heal it. In this conversation, we get into the concrete science behind your energy, why your “gut” is more reliable than your resume, and the simple shift that turns a room of skeptics into believe...

Lorena Savvedra Smith talks about something most of us feel but can’t name: soul dislocation. That spiraling, fragmented feeling after a hard conversation. The numbness when the world feels like too much. Her ancestors had a name for it, and a way back. In this conversation, we explore why our rush to “heal” with ancient practices might be causing more harm, and how true healing asks us to stop running from nature’s power—and run toward it.

All trauma is spiritual trauma. It severs the impulse to reach for wonder, connection, and meaning—the very essence of our soul. In this episode, Dr. Hillary McBride, a leading voice on embodiment and spiritual trauma, redefines how we understand healing. We explore the holes trauma leaves in our souls, why the body is the portal back to our spirituality, and a simple yet profound practice (heart rate sensing) that can unlock your intuition and reconnect you to yourself. This is a conversation about the space between life and death, and the path back to who you really are.

Grief hit me like a tidal wave, even with all my knowledge of the spirit world. This week, I’m talking with Samantha Rose, a ghostwriter for a famous medium, who lost her mother to suicide. She shares how she used her professional skills to reconnect with her mom through dreams and automatic writing, finding a way to forgive her and, ultimately, herself. This is a powerful conversation about the masks we wear, the courage to ask for help, and the profound realization that love doesn't end when a life does.

If you are waiting for the universe to explain why something painful happened, stop. You will never get that answer.

I always thought manifesting was about thinking, visualizing, and waiting. My talk with Colette Baron-Reid turned that idea on its head. She showed me that the ancient, physical act of drawing is the missing neurological link between a spiritual desire and tangible reality.

Are we treating our anxiety all wrong? I sit down with channeler and author Elizabeth April, who’s lived with anxiety her entire life, to explore a radical new perspective. We talk about how anxiety isn't a symptom to suppress, but a crucial alarm system—your own "spidey sense." This conversation gets into the quantum nature of fear, why anxiety rates are exploding (hint: solar flares and energetic sensitivity), and the collective "rug pull" forecast for 2026. This isn't traditional mental health advice; it's about listening to the messages you've been conditioned to ignore.
