In this mind-expanding conversation, Andrea welcomes back Simon Bown—host of The Past Lives Podcast and The Alien UFO Podcast, clinical hypnotherapist, and author of Verified Near Death Experiences. Simon shares remarkable insights from his newest book, which documents 30 real-life near death experiences (NDEs) backed by verifiable evidence.

From one man's detailed recollection of a conversation seven kilometers away while clinically dead, to miraculous physical recoveries and post-NDE psychic awakenings, this episode explores the profound implications NDEs have on healing, consciousness, and the soul’s journey. Simon also opens up about his lifelong spiritual curiosity and how past life regressions can complement these experiences. Whether you’re spiritually curious or scientifically skeptical, this episode will ignite wonder.
