Round Trip Death Podcast - NDE

"Go Back, Your Work's Not Done!"
What would it take for you to die — not once, not twice, but thirteen times — and come back with something to show for it?
In this electrifying episode, host Eric Bennett sits down with Greg Halpern, a Chicago-based judo world champion turned serial entrepreneur who has survived 13 Near Death Experiences that would have broken — or simply ended — anyone else.
It starts at age five (NDE #1), when a post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage sends young Greg bleeding into the night and straight into a boundless space of warm, infinite light, where a deep, commanding voice tells him to go back because there's work to do.
Each successive NDE Experience, he explains, felt less like a brush with death and more like a controlled transmission — the universe systematically clearing his mind to receive something extraordinary.
By the time his 12th NDE hits in 2005 — a lungful of chlorine gas from a pool canister that felt like a blowtorch down his throat — Halpern had long stopped expecting to die.
Then came Near Death Experience number thirteen — a ruptured appendix, three days of misdiagnosed food poisoning, a six-hour surgery for full-blown peritonitis, and a fatal over-medication that flatlined him in his hospital bed. What he saw in that darkness was chilling: a vision of global destruction centered on 2023, and an urgent message that he had been sitting on world-changing information for too long.

In this powerful episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes Tammy Julien, who shares a Near Death Experience (NDE) she kept hidden for nearly 40 years.
During a home birth gone wrong, Tammy hemorrhaged and found herself outside her body — watching the emergency unfold below while feeling absolute peace and love.
Her NDE took her through extraordinary encounters of love and compassion. "The love was going into the Earth."
After returning, Tammy spent decades quietly integrating her NDE experience into everyday life, finding few people who could relate to what she had witnessed. Over time she channeled her NDE into a spiritual practice — guiding others into deep presence, writing, and following the same inner voice that has intervened in her life since childhood.
Her closing message from her NDE is simple: we are never truly alone, invisible support surrounds us always, and the breath is the most direct path back to that truth.

Sally's NDE: "I Wanted To Stay!"

Her second NDE (near death experience) came in 1999 when a horse launched her backwards, snapping three vertebrae in her neck — this time she met mysterious figures called "the Council" who informed her she had a divine mission. Her response? A hard NO.
The Council spent decades pestering Sally to fulfill her spiritual purpose, which she resisted so hard she once preferred nearly dying of swine flu over complying.
The jaw-dropping miracle from her second NDE? A year and a half after her broken neck should have left her paralyzed or dead, X-rays showed zero evidence the fractures ever existed — leaving her doctor yelling "how are you still breathing?!"
Sally eventually struck a deal: skip the prophet role, teach people to find their own inner truth instead. Her greatest takeaway from the NDE experience? Death isn't something to fear — it's more like a warm welcome home where all your questions finally get answered.

After collapsing from a catastrophic abdominal sepsis infection, Bridget was unknowingly being killed by an antibiotic allergy that sent her fever soaring to 107 degrees. When she overheard nurses say she wouldn't survive until morning, she made a desperate leap of faith — and what happened next would change everything.
The NDE: As the life left her body, Bridget's hospital room exploded with a blinding, all-consuming light, and she found herself face to face with Jesus, and who she would later identify as Archangel Michael.
Looking in Jesus' eyes, the love she felt was so far beyond anything human language can capture. She woke up knowing exactly which drug was killing her, walked out of the hospital the next day, and has spent her life since trying to share that love with everyone she meets.
The message from her NDE is simple and powerful, God has ultimate faith in humanity, and it's time we started acting like it.

Heart Stopped for 7 Minutes! Cara shares her NDE publicly for the first time.
During a high school soccer playoff game, a ball struck her in the left temple with such force that it stopped her heart for seven minutes. The moment she lost consciousness, she found herself floating above the scene, watching her teammates and parents — not as physical bodies, but as brilliant, swaying flames of light. She felt an overwhelming sense of pure love, complete freedom from fear, and a profound sense of being held by the universe.

At the conclusion of her NDE, coming back to her body was jarring — cold, fluorescent, and heavy with all the emotions she had briefly escaped. Diagnosed with brain damage, Kara faced a long road of healing, but the experience quietly transformed her. It ignited a lifelong obsession with the mind-body connection, eventually leading her to yoga, which she found could reconnect her to those same feelings of peace and love.
The central message from her NDE (near death experience): the love she experienced on the other side is fully accessible to us right now, if we can quiet the noise of fear, worry, and self-doubt long enough to feel it.
