"There is life after death. The truth is it's a gateway to eternity." Sah is joined by filmmaker Stephen Grey and near-death experience survivor Steve Kang to explore one of humanity's greatest mysteries—what happens after we die? Their groundbreaking documentary "After Death" has captivated audiences across North America, becoming one of the highest-grossing documentaries since 2019 with over a million tickets sold. Through intimate conversation, Steve Kang shares his profound personal journey from surviving a suicide attempt to experiencing a life-changing near-death experience that transformed his understanding of existence. Having grown up in a Buddhist household, his story offers a unique perspective on how these experiences transcend religious and cultural boundaries. This episode challenges conventional thinking about death and the afterlife, weaving together scientific research, personal testimonies, and cross-cultural insights. While offering fascinating evidence of consciousness beyond death through interviews with bestselling authors, doctors, and scientists, listeners should note the documentary takes a notably conservative Christian perspective (content warning: includes heteronormative views and traditional biblical interpretations). Whether you're curious about near-death experiences, grappling with questions about the afterlife, or seeking understanding about life's purpose, this episode offers thought-provoking insights into what might await us all. Don't miss this chance to hear two pioneering voices discuss their quest to illuminate what lies beyond our earthly existence. GUEST BIO Stephen Gray is a multidisciplinary filmmaker based out of Winnipeg, Canada. He’s currently producing a feature documentary for Amazon Studios and his latest documentary, After Death, released in theaters October 27th, becoming the highest-grossing documentary since 2019. This film explores one of life's biggest mysteries - "what happens when we die?" with New York Times bestselling authors, doctors, scientists, and survivors. https://stephengray.ca/ http://afterdeathmovie.com Steve Kang. Steve’s story is featured in the film “After Death". Steve grew up in a committed Buddhist home in South Korea and later immigrated to the United States with his family. During a difficult time in his life, he survived a suicide attempt during which he had a profound near-death experience. After coming back, he later had an open vision that changed his whole life around. He eventually became a chaplain in the army, counseling people dealing with depression and PTSD, and ministers to people across the globe. ✨✨✨ This podcast was brought to you by: OneSkin, for everyone that wants to prevent or reverse the signs of aging with a groundbreaking approach.

“Creativity is the way that we heal. It is the way that we alchemize a lot of our trauma into magic.” Sah D'Simone sits down with Creativity Coach, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Amie McNee to explore the transformative power of creativity and art in our lives. This discussion dives deep into the vital role of artistic expression in healing, personal growth, and connecting with our deeper selves. Amie, whose upcoming book "We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something" is set to release in March 2025, shares her passion for empowering others to embrace their inherent creativity. She challenges common misconceptions about art and artists, arguing that creativity is not reserved for a talented few but is accessible to everyone. This conversation touches on essential themes: the alchemical nature of art in transforming trauma into beauty, the prophetic potential of creative expression, and the power of artists' voices in shaping our world. Amie and Sah explore how art gives us agency, creates momentum in our lives, and allows us to rewrite our internal narratives. They also delve into the practice of journaling as a form of art, discussing how it can serve as a time capsule of the present moment and a tool for self-discovery. Amie reveals how the act of creating can be both beautiful and challenging, confronting us with our darkness and light. Whether you're a seasoned artist or someone who's never considered themselves creative, this episode offers wisdom and encouragement to tap into your artistic potential. Join Sah and Amie for a soul-stirring conversation on creativity, self-expression, and the transformative power of making art. GUEST BIO Amie McNee created in total isolation for a long time. She bought into the stories that Artists can't make money, that they're lazy, that they're avoiding the real world. She spent years working jobs she hated, writing books and in a cycle of depression because she believed her desire to live a creative life made her less than. The work she does now is in service to her past self. She speaks, teaches and writes love letters to creators, reminding them that the world needs what they have to make, reminding them of their worth, and their importance in this world. Amie has been called to create supportive, empowered communities for writers and artists. She believes this is a big, beautiful, hard journey, and that no one needs to do it without support. Amie can be found on YouTube, Instagram, or on podcast apps. www.amiemcnee.com ✨✨✨ This podcast was brought to you by: IIN - Are you ready to take the next step in your health journey and career?

This week, Sah brings you a solocast talk about Anandamayi Ma. Sri Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982) was one of the great Hindu saints of the 20th Century. She was born in present-day Bangladesh. As a person of remarkable piety, sanctity, and wisdom, she came to the notice of both simple people and famous figures of India. She did not have an outer guru, and emphasized the importance of detachment from the world and religious devotion, encouraging her devotees to serve others. An ecstatic child of ecstatic parents, she became a famous saint who like many other female Indian saints stood on the edge of several religious traditions, and in the midst of none. She influenced the spirituality of thousands of people who came to see her throughout her long life. Anandamayi translates to "joy-permeated" in English.

This week, Sah brings you a solocast sharing the spiritual lessons he learned while trekking with his father over 500 miles from France to Spain on the ancient and revered pilgrim's path, the Camino de Santiago. What began as an effort to process and honor the grief they were experiencing after the loss of Sah's mother, Patricia, ended as a father-son bonding experience rich with profound spiritual lessons and discoveries from within.  Walking for 7 hours a day— through all weather conditions across ever-changing terrain —gave Sah and his father plenty of time, space, and immersement in nature to explore the depths of their grief, the expanse of their hearts, and contemplate their desires for the future after their heartbreaking loss.

"This story jumps the shark every moment." Sah and Emmy-winning producer Pamela Ryckman dive into the fascinating life of maverick scientist Candace Pert, whose groundbreaking discoveries bridged the worlds of neuroscience and spirituality. In her new book, Pamela reveals how Pert's research on opiate receptors not only revolutionized our understanding of the mind-body connection but also inadvertently contributed to the opioid crisis. Through captivating storytelling, they explore how this brilliant woman faced brutal opposition from the male-dominated scientific establishment while pioneering ideas that would later become foundational to integrative medicine. From her work during the AIDS crisis to her evolving views on consciousness and healing, Pert's journey illuminates the complex relationship between science, spirituality, and the pharmaceutical industry. Whether you're interested in holistic health, women's leadership, or the hidden stories behind modern medicine, this conversation offers remarkable insights into how one scientist's discoveries continue to reshape our understanding of healing and consciousness. GUEST BIO Pamela Ryckman is an Emmy-winning producer and writer with a focus on women in the workforce. She is the recent author of CANDACE PERT: Genius, Greed, and Madness in the World of Science (Hachette, 2023), a biography of the maverick scientist whose visionary research led to both the opioid crisis and the mind-body movement. Pert’s personal story forms a launchpad to discuss the most pressing issues plaguing science and healthcare today. After two decades working in investigative journalism and documentary film, Pamela is uniquely positioned to tell this story. ✨✨✨ This podcast was brought to you by: IIN: Are you ready to take the next step in your health journey and career?

"The amount of suffering among the dead is really tremendous. And one of the cruelest things that the living do is internalize this reductionist materialist idea that when you die, you stop existing." Sah and ritualist Daniel Foor explore the profound ways our ancestors influence our lives, from inherited trauma to spiritual wellbeing. Together they challenge Western individualism, examining how troubled ancestral spirits can affect their living descendants and how we might heal these generational wounds. Daniel shares wisdom from animist traditions that see all of nature—from trees and mountains to stones—as conscious, living beings, suggesting this ancient way of relating to the world could transform our modern crises. Through stories and practical insights, they investigate how colonialism has severed our connection not just to ancestors, but to the living Earth itself, and how rekindling these relationships could revolutionize our understanding of being human. Whether you're curious about ancestral healing, struggling with inherited patterns, or seeking a deeper connection with the natural world, this conversation offers a bold new vision of existence. Don't miss this exploration of how healing our relationship with both the dead and the more-than-human world can transform our understanding of who we are. GUEST BIO Daniel is a doctor of psychology, experienced ritualist, and the author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing. He is an initiate in the Òrìṣà tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa and practicing Muslim who has also learned from Mahayana Buddhism and the older ways of his English and German ancestors. Daniel is passionate about generational healing and training leaders and change makers in the intersections of cultural healing, animist ethics, and applied ritual arts.

"Life is a treacherous puzzle to try to solve with one quick stroke of genius." Sah is joined by Buddhist psychotherapist and visionary thinker Dr. Miles Neale for a mind-expanding exploration of life's greatest mysteries. As the author of "Return with Elixir: Four Maps for the Soul's Pilgrimage Through Death and Rebirth," Miles weaves together ancient wisdom traditions with modern psychology to illuminate the path of transformation. Through profound dialogue, they dive deep into the Bodhisattva's dilemma—how do we navigate the overwhelming desire to help all beings while accepting our human limitations? Miles shares revolutionary insights about integrating Buddhist psychology, Western neuroscience, and the healing power of pilgrimage to create a new paradigm for spiritual awakening. This episode challenges conventional approaches to enlightenment, offering a fresh perspective on combining ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques. From exploring the shadow sides of social justice movements to understanding the cyclical nature of civilization, Miles provides a roadmap for navigating these complex times with wisdom and grace. Whether you're on a spiritual path, interested in the intersection of Buddhism and psychology, or simply seeking deeper meaning in these uncertain times, this conversation offers profound insights about embracing the mystery of existence while staying grounded in practical wisdom. GUEST BIO Dr. Miles Neale is a Buddhist psychotherapist and instructor of psychology at Weill Cornell Medical College. He is the author of Gradual Awakening and co-editor of Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy. His forthcoming book is Return with Elixir: Four Maps for the Soul's Pilgrimage Through Death and Rebirth.

“Permission to grieve is permission to be human.” Sah is joined by hospital chaplain and author Joon (J.S.) Park to explore the profound art of sitting with suffering in a world obsessed with quick fixes. Drawing from his extensive experience at a Level 1 Trauma Center, J.S. shares the wisdom he's gained from attending countless deaths and supporting people through their darkest moments. Through intimate dialogue, they examine how capitalism has transformed mourning into an inconvenience and how religious traditions can both heal and hinder the grieving process. J.S. offers insights from his transformative book "As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve," revealing how our productivity-driven culture has robbed us of the sacred space needed to process loss. Whether you're navigating personal loss, supporting someone through grief, or seeking to create more compassionate communities, this conversation illuminates the transformative power of simple presence and the courage to sit with pain rather than trying to solve it. GUEST BIO J.S. Park is a board-certified hospital chaplain, author, and online educator. For eight years he has been an interfaith chaplain at a 1000-plus bed hospital that is designated a Level 1 Trauma Center. His role includes grief counseling, attending every death, every trauma and Code Blue, staff care, and supporting end-of-life care. He also served for three years as a chaplain at one of the largest nonprofit charities for the homeless on the east coast. J.S. is the author of As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve, published by W Publishing. J.S. has a MDiv completed in 2010 and a BA in Psychology. He also has a sixth-degree black belt. J.S. currently lives in Tampa, Florida with his wife, a nurse practitioner, his daughter, newborn son, and their adopted dog. ✨✨✨ This podcast was brought to you by: HIGHER DOSE: Elevate your mood, promote a healthy glow, support long-term health benefits, and lift your spirit with Higher Dose's at-home wellness tools that use nature-inspired technologies to release a DOSE of your feel-good chemicals like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins, naturally.
