What truly happens during a near-death experience? In this powerful episode of “The Abundance Journey,” Elaine Starling shares her own blissful near-death experience, a life-altering stroke that brought her into conversation with a Higher Power and left her with profound insights about life, purpose, and the afterlife. Now, she’s joined by Kathy McDaniel, author of “Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat,” who had a very different near-death experience that shifted her religious beliefs and spiritual outlook forever. 

Kathy’s near-death experience was one of darkness, challenge, and eventual peace, providing a rare glimpse into the diverse, mysterious dimensions of the afterlife. In this episode, Kathy and Elaine discuss the unique and powerful messages they received on the “other side,” from learning to trust Divine guidance to living with joy and curiosity. They explore what it means to experience—and embrace—contrast, the importance of living in alignment with Divine purpose, and how to cultivate a profound connection with others through love and kindness.

Tune in to gain a new perspective on life’s challenges and blessings and uncover insights that could transform your view of life, death, and everything in between.

About the Guest:(bio, personal links, resource links)

M.K. (Kathy) McDaniel is the author of the memoir, “MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT”. While dying from lung failure in 1999, she was placed on a ventilator and put into a drug-induced coma. A Distressing Near-Death Experience occurred and, although mostly traumatic, she also experienced the overwhelming bliss of Heaven which shifted her religious beliefs to a deep spirituality. Kathy credits the members of IANDS (International Assn. for Near-Death Studies) for her eventual integration of the Distressing NDE, and the ability to accept the sacred mission that caused her reluctant return to Earth. She now shares her experience, and its messages, as a guest on various media, and via her memoir, “MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT”.
