What if death wasn’t the end - but the beginning of true healing?

In this episode of The Conscious Rising, Sean Lee-Davies sits down with Dr. Dawn Mussallem, a Mayo Clinic physician, cancer survivor, and heart transplant recipient who flatlined for four minutes - and came back transformed.

Her story bridges science and spirituality, reminding us that healing isn’t just physical - it’s an awakening of awareness itself.

From surviving terminal illness to redefining what it means to live with purpose, Dr. Dawn shares her profound journey through death, love, and consciousness.

This episode dives deep into the space where medicine meets miracle - where logic gives way to love, and where being “alive” takes on an entirely new meaning.

Expect insights on:

• What happens when science stops - and consciousness begins
• The “stillness beyond fear” Dr. Dawn experienced in death
• How love and awareness became her greatest medicine
• Why surrender is a form of healing
• The bridge between medical science and spiritual experience
• Redefining longevity through compassion and consciousness
• What it means to live fully awake after facing mortality

This isn’t just a story about survival.

It’s a reminder that the body heals through love, the mind awakens through surrender, and the soul never really dies.
