IANDS: Afterlife Revealed

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with afterlife researcher and podcaster Liz Entin. A self-described logical atheist, Liz began investigating evidence for the afterlife and the paranormal in 2015 after her father passed away. Though she remains skeptical and identifies as an atheist, the research she uncovered—from near-death experiences to mediumship studies and consciousness science—left a profound impact on her. Inspired by the work of Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Melvin Morse, Dr. Jan Holden, the Windbridge Research Center, and IONS, Liz shares how her exploration led to deep personal shifts: reduced fear of death, greater purpose, emotional growth, and a conviction that consciousness may survive physical death. This conversation delves into grief, spirituality, neuroscience, mediumship protocols, and the possibility of consciousness beyond the brain. Liz reflects on what she’s learned during years of investigation and offers thoughtful advice for those grieving as well as those who remain skeptical. Liz Entin is the host of the WTF Just Happened?! podcast and leads “Science and Spirituality” private events, where small groups can learn about afterlife research and receive readings from scientifically tested evidential mediums. In this episode, she provides grounded, science-informed insights for skeptics, seekers, and anyone curious about what might await us beyond this life.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with IANDS President Dr. Jan Holden to explore some of the most compelling questions in near-death experience (NDE) research. Dr. Holden shares groundbreaking insights into veridical perception, lucid awareness during cardiac arrest, and what current science suggests about consciousness operating beyond the brain. Together, they dive into how NDE research connects with after-death communication, shared-death experiences, and near-death-like experiences that occur without clinical death. Dr. Holden discusses why these cases point toward consciousness as fundamental and possibly eternal, and how we may be witnessing a global shift from a purely material worldview to a more spiritual and interconnected understanding of reality. She also offers practical guidance for therapists, clinicians, and healthcare providers who support experiencers, shares her own ketamine-assisted transformative experience, and reflects on how decades of studying NDEs have shaped her views on life, death, and the deeper nature of existence. About Dr. Jan Holden Dr. Holden is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Near-Death Studies, Professor Emerita of Counseling at the University of North Texas, and a leading expert on NDEs, after-death communication, and transpersonal experiences.

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks with journalist and coma expert Alan Pearce. What happens when someone is placed in a medically induced coma? Does consciousness go blank — or enter other realities? Alan shares his groundbreaking research into what people actually experience during comas, revealing powerful parallels with near-death experiences (NDEs), dark retreats, and expanded states of consciousness. From stories of heaven-like peace to unusual alternate realities, Alan uncovers a hidden world that challenges everything science thinks it knows about the mind, memory, and the soul. Alan also shares how his research transformed his view of death — especially after the loss of his daughter — and why he now knows that we don’t die. He reflects on the parallels between comas and NDEs, the medical challenges of inducing prolonged comas, and the aftereffects and insights he has gained through his research, so be sure to watch until the end! Alan Pearce is a broadcaster and former BBC correspondent who has worked with publications such as Time Magazine and The Sunday Times. He has also authored several books, including “COMA and Near-Death Experience” which explores the extraordinary states of expanded consciousness that arise during comas.

In this episode, host Dani Foffa speaks with Nancy Maier Lipari, a remarkable near-death experiencer (NDE) whose journey offers profound insight into life, death, and the power of love. In 1975, Nancy fell from the top of a ladder, rupturing her liver and leaving her hovering between life and death for three days. During that time, she experienced a transformative near-death experience—leaving her body, traveling through a realm of pure light and love, and undergoing a life review that revealed how deeply our thoughts and actions affect others. Nancy’s NDE opened her awareness to other realities existing beside our own, showing that everything in life is connected by love. In this conversation, she shares how that experience helped her support her son’s transition to the other side, the lessons she learned about God and the meaning of life, and the ongoing process of integrating her spiritual awakening into everyday living. This episode is a timeless reminder that love is the purpose of life, and that even the smallest acts of kindness echo across eternity. Nancy's book, Dancing with the Divine NOW, is a vessel for transformation. The call is to co-create Heaven NOW and is more action-oriented and community-driven than many titles that focus solely on personal insight. It’s not just about awakening—it’s about embodying divinity in daily life.

What is an NDE? A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks with Heather Tesch, former meteorologist and host of BEYOND, about what she’s learned from hundreds of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs). Heather shares how these stories reshaped her view of life, God, and the afterlife, and why so many experiencers lose their fear of death.

In this episode, Dani Foffa interviews Peter Panagore, a former pastor and near-death experiencer whose 1980 NDE while ice climbing in the Canadian Rockies transformed his understanding of life, death, and God. Peter describes his union with the Divine, a profound life review, the vast cosmic Void, and his choice to return to life. His experience erased belief and replaced it with direct knowing. Together, we explore how to integrate an NDE, faith vs. belief, mysticism, spiritual awakening, the Bible through a mystical lens, and even how love and ethics can guide artificial intelligence. After his NDE, Peter dedicated his life to sharing messages of Love, Light, and the Soul’s eternal nature. A longtime practitioner of Centering Prayer, meditation, and Kriya Yoga, he spent fifteen years as an NBC-TV storyteller and now hosts Not Church: Mysticism No Doctrine No Dogma on YouTube, where he offers deep insights on the afterlife and spiritual consciousness.

An NDE is a deeply transformative event that often occurs during a medical crisis such as cardiac arrest, surgery, accidents, or childbirth. It is not a dream or hallucination, but a profound state with common features: out-of-body awareness, encounters with light or divine beings, overwhelming love, and lasting life changes. Research shows NDEs happen across all cultures, ages, and belief systems, and they often lead to heightened spirituality, compassion, and psychic or mediumship abilities.

In this episode of Afterlife Revealed (Ep. 20), Dani Foffa talks with Near-Death Experiencer Davis Haines. Davis is a professional musician, actor, and teacher from Birmingham, Alabama, who works with children and people with developmental disabilities. In 2011, Davis was run over by a truck and given only a 1% chance of survival. He suffered massive injuries—bone fractures, blood loss, and organ failure—and was transfused with 13 units of blood as doctors fought to save him. While his family said goodbye, Davis crossed the veil. What he experienced wasn’t darkness but a homecoming filled with boundless love, unity, and the profound knowing that “Earth is the dream.” In this intimate NDE interview, Davis shares his accident, his five-day coma, and the years-long integration process that reshaped his art, family, faith, and purpose. When he awoke, he told his family an angel—whom he calls Art—had saved his life. Today, Davis is a songwriter, worship leader, and certified Music Together® teacher. Since his profound near-death experience, he has traveled the world creating music, improvising, and living his mission to “spread Love through Art.” If you enjoy this episode, please like, share, subscribe, and hit the bell to be notified of future NDE stories.
