• Nicole's Suicide Results in Distressing NDE - Hell & Back

  Crisis Line #998 Imagine life being so tough that you attempt to take your life. Then it gets worse! In this episode of Round Trip Death, Nicole Consiglio opens up about her life's difficulties that resulted in a suicide attempt. But she came back. That's the definition of a near death experience (NDE). During her NDE Experience, Nicole was "sucked up into a vortex." There she dealt with black shadow figures holding her down. Eventually her cries for Jesus and Mary were answered. When she thought about her children, she thought about going back, then God said, "Make Your Decision." The rest, as they say, is history. It's a powerful NDE full of life lessons for all of us. VIDEO Version: https://youtu.be/EABZfAFU3sERoundTripDeath.com Donate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/

• Mario's 2 NDEs - Near Death Experiences - Heaven, Hell & Saved By Jesus

  Dead 15 Minutes! At nine years old, Mario was declared dead at home after violent spasms and unbearable chest pain. His first NDE followed. He describes separating from his body and entering a realm of tunnels and roads made of fluorescent, multicolored light, where he felt only absolute love, safety, and belonging. Family had begun preparing for his funeral, but he revived within minutes, telling his father he’d wanted to stay “there.” The years that followed were marked by poverty, bullying, and vivid encounters he interpreted as demonic—experiences that deepened his prayer life and sense of spiritual warfare. Decades later, in 2016, after months of harassment and a poisoning that put him in the hospital, he says he died again. A nurse exclaimed she saw his “aura” leaving as monitors detached. During this second NDE, Mario reports first arriving in a heaven-like space and searching desperately for his late father; when he couldn’t find him, the scene shifted to a dark, sulfurous realm with hostile entities. This is know as a "distressing NDE" (near death experience).How did this NDE end? A “gigantic hand,” which he believes was Jesus, touched his forehead and returned him to his body. Though some relatives and others doubt his story, Mario insists the lesson is clear: become a kinder person, pray often, hold fame and achievements lightly, and know—at least to him—that heaven is real.

• "I Met Love Itself" - Kara's NDE

  NDE Episode SummaryAt eight years old, singer–writer Kara Marlene was thrown over her bike’s handlebars and was dead for roughly 45 minutes. What followed was an immersive near-death experience (NDE) of overwhelming love, peace, and a wordless guide—“love itself” in a familiar, humanlike form. In this intimate conversation, Kara recounts the crash, the boundary between light and vast “space,” a brief child-sized life review, and the moment she agreed—simply—to “follow love.” Returning changed, she navigated physical recovery, learning differences, empathic sensitivity, and a lifelong dialogue with the Divine. Kara also shares how this love/fear polarity shaped her art, relationships, and her mission to help others recognize the “fingerprints of love” in everyday life.Key TakeawaysThe NDE: Kara perceived blinding light, an endless, protective darkness “like space,” and a figure she understands as love taking on a form she could trust.Felt Reality: Absolute love left no room for fear; the inner voice asked, “Are you ready?”—not to go back or forward, but to follow.Return & Recovery: A severe head injury (right temporal lobe) changed academics (reading comprehension/math), shifting her to an audio learning style.After effects of Near Death Experience (NDE): Heightened empathy, deep nature connection, spontaneous inner guidance, and several premonitions about loved ones’ passings.Love vs. Fear: In Kara’s framing, fear is the earthly opposition that clarifies the breadth of love; living “from love” is possible here and now.Message of Hope: You are “meant for miracles”—love is seeking connection with you, moment by moment.Video Version: https://youtu.be/rgZYpdAGLfoRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/https://www.karamarlene.com/

• Rebecca's 2 Year Near Death Experience (NDE)

  Can an NDE actually last for 2 years? How about other spiritual experiences?In this moving episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes Rebecca Kastl, a speech-language pathologist from Colorado, who shares her extraordinary two-year-long spiritually transformative experience (STE). Unlike typical near-death experiences (NDEs), Rebecca’s journey began not with physical death but with deep emotional trauma and an earnest desire for complete healing.Her story begins with a traumatic event at age 13, which set her on a lifelong path toward spiritual wholeness. At 26, while journaling during graduate school, she spontaneously dedicated her life to God — an act that opened a profound, two-year encounter with divine light, angelic beings, psychic dreams, and a heightened sense of interconnectedness. This led to her NDE/STE experience of transformation.Throughout the episode, Rebecca reflects on:The night a radiant light appeared in her room, filling her with love and peace while revealing hidden parts of herself.How she began to perceive ethereal light in everyone she met, symbolizing the divine essence in all beings.Her experiences with angels and spontaneous life review moments, where she felt how her words and actions affected others.The challenge of integrating these experiences and the deep depression that followed once the light faded.Now, years later, Rebecca shares how this journey reshaped her worldview — inspiring her to work with children, act with compassion, and recognize the sacred light within all people. In closing, Rebecca offers listeners a heartfelt message of hope: even amid suffering, every prayer is heard, and everyone is deeply loved and guided by a higher light.

• "Pursued By God" - Kimberly's NDE (Near Death Experience)

  Mystic and former monastic, Kimberly Braun joins Round Trip Death to share the near-death experience (NDE) she had at 19 after a suicide attempt—a passage not of tunnels and relatives, but of awakening “as and within the luminous void.” Held in unconditional love and freedom, she was offered a choice and chose to return from that heavenly place. Kimberly unpacks the paradox of being both an individual and the whole, the emotional and psychological healing that followed (including therapy), the surge of mystical phenomena in her 20s, service with the homeless, and the path that led her into monastic life. It all started with her NDE Experience. She closes her NDE explanation with a grounded message of hope: love is the end toward which all things move—and we can begin to live from it now.
