Chicago firefighter and union president, Lupe Rodriguez, hit rock bottom after a career-ending injury, his dad’s death, and 11 days of alcohol and pills. On the night he finally surrendered and begged God for help, Lupe left his body, stepped into a blinding light, saw massive guardian beings, and was visited by his late his father. He was sent back with a miraculous healing—and his addiction was instantly gone.

In this near-death experience (NDE) interview, Lupe shares how that night changed everything: seeing auras, feeling the energy of trees and people and waking up to the spiritual frequency behind all of life. He opens up about losing friends, feeling alone, and learning to live with one foot in this world and one in the next—while carrying a clear message: "it’s all real."

In this episode, we talk honestly about why so many of us are great at giving but struggle to receive, especially when it comes to money. Alyssa opens up about her own money blocks, Lynn reframes money as a simple exchange of energy, and Vinney shares why his paid sessions created far more transformation than his free ones. Together, we unpack how childhood beliefs, spiritual fears, and “being humble” can quietly block the very blessings we’re praying for.

What is a death doula? In this Part 2 conversation, former ER nurse–turned–end-of-life doula Danielle Slupesky explains exactly what a death doula is and how end-of-life doulas complement (not replace) hospice.

With hosts Vinney Tolman, Alyssa Dye, and Lynn Taylor, she shares the non-medical, practical, emotional, and spiritual support doulas provide—bedside presence, calming rituals, caregiver guidance, resource coordination, and preparing for a peaceful transition—captured in her phrase “soul to soul, not role to role.”

When nurse Danielle Slupesky fell into a life of numbing pain through work, alcohol, and prescription pills, she never imagined that her own near-death experience would awaken her to the one thing she’d been missing—compassion and connection. After a medical collapse left her septic, in kidney failure, and bleeding out on the table, Danielle remembers the moment her heart stopped and peace surrounded her: “I remembered… this is dying. And there was zero fear. Only love.”

Join hosts Vinney Tolman, Lynn Taylor, and Alyssa Dye as they explore how Danielle’s experience in the afterlife continues to transform how she lives, loves, and helps others face death without fear.

Be sure to catch Part 2 as Danielle shares how she lives her life transformed from this experience in living a life of service as a compassionate death doula.
