Meant To Be Heard

What really happens during a near-death experience? Tammy Lee Anderson has experienced three — three moments that opened the door to profound spiritual awareness, intuitive knowing around death, and a life devoted to exploring consciousness, love, and what exists beyond this temporary life.
With a remarkable life path spanning theology, philosophy, counselling, grief work, induced after-death communication, hospital chaplaincy, authorship, service in the U.S. Air Force, over a decade living in religious communities across the United States and Europe, and even mastery as a fifth-degree black belt and Sensei in Aikido, Tammy Lee Anderson has spent her life exploring and serving others on the deepest questions of life, death, and the human soul. Today she works as a spiritual medium and healer, blending formal psychological training with direct spiritual experience to help people navigate loss, healing, and connection beyond death.
But alongside this extraordinary résumé is something equally remarkable: Tammy has experienced three near-death experiences — two in infancy and another at age 23 — along with a lifetime of mystical encounters that reshaped the way she understands consciousness, suffering, and love.
In this deeply expansive conversation, Tammy shares the story of those near-death experiences and how they opened the door to a life of spiritual awareness.
But this episode goes far beyond extraordinary stories.
Tammy reflects on the deeper spiritual journey many of us find ourselves on — the shift from seeking answers, validation, and meaning outside of ourselves to discovering that the deepest wisdom, love, and peace already exist within.
She shares insights on why suffering exists, how our thoughts, intentions, and prayers carry real influence, and why the peace we hope to see in the world begins with the peace we cultivate inside ourselves.
At the heart of Tammy’s message is a powerful truth: the love we are searching for is not something we find externally — it is something we remember and embody from within. And if we truly want peace in the world, we must first become it.
This is a deeply wise and grounding conversation for anyone walking the seeker’s path — or anyone curious about what lies beyond death and what it truly means to live a life rooted in love. Tammy takes us on a beautiful exploration for anyone seeking inspiration, purpose, spiritual gift development, and awakening to divine love.

In this powerful episode of Meant To Be Heard, Rebecca Kastl shares her spiritually transformative experience — a spontaneous spiritual awakening that unfolded after surviving sexual assault and navigating suicidal thoughts.
What began as trauma healing gradually opened into psychic dreams, automatic writing, and channeling messages from angels. Rebecca describes how therapy, somatic healing, yoga, and deep self-inquiry became the doorway to unexpected mystical experiences that challenged her understanding of reality.
She recounts vivid psychic dreams — including one she believes saved her life — along with intuitive downloads and spontaneous automatic writing that felt guided beyond her conscious mind. Over time, those early spiritual experiences expanded into ongoing angelic channeling and a profound awakening to unseen realms of guidance.
A central thread in her journey is learning to perceive light in others and recognizing the ripple effect of our words, actions, and energy. Through life-review moments and heightened awareness, Rebecca came to understand both the impact of trauma and the quiet power of compassion.
Raised within an interfaith background, embracing psychic abilities and mystical experiences required deep trust and courage. Her story reflects what can emerge when we speak trauma aloud, reclaim our voice, and allow spiritual awakening to unfold in its own time.
This conversation explores trauma and spiritual awakening, psychic dreams, channeling angels, and the mysterious ways spiritually transformative experiences can emerge from the darkest seasons of life.

In this episode of Meant to Be Heard, Catherine Glassman — an ER nurse grounded in evidence-based medicine — shares her spiritually transformative experiences, including lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, astral projection, and a powerful spiritual awakening that reshaped her understanding of reality and consciousness.
With a professional foundation rooted in science and critical thinking, Catherine did not approach spirituality from blind belief. Raised Catholic and shaped by childhood trauma, she long questioned the version of God she was taught. When vivid mystical experiences began unfolding — including astral projection and encounters with loving light beings — she chose to explore them through both scientific reasoning and spiritual inquiry.
Catherine explains how meditation opened the door to lucid dreaming and intentional astral projection, leading her into profound states of love, light, and expanded awareness. She describes encountering a being of yellow light and coming to understand heaven not as a distant afterlife destination, but as a state of consciousness available now.
We also discuss darker energies, attachment, forgiveness, free will, and the integration of spiritual awakening into everyday life. This episode explores the intersection of science and spirituality, intuition, consciousness beyond the physical body, and the possibility that reality is far more expansive than we’ve been taught.
If you’re curious about lucid dreaming, astral projection, mystical encounters, spiritual awakening, or the nature of consciousness, this conversation will expand your perspective.

In this episode, Paige sits down with her little sister Madi, the second half of You’re meant 2 be here, for a candid conversation about Madi’s spontaneous spiritual awakening that started in 2022 when she walked into a tattoo shop and had her first mystical encounter that would change everything for her. With a front-row seat to the experience, Paige shares what it was like to witness her sister’s transformation in real time and support her through an awakening that arrived completely out of the blue. Once a self-proclaimed skeptic and workaholic driven by external validation, Madi opens up about how her journey into personal development and creativity cracked her world wide open to heightened intuition, psychic encounters, communication with spirit guides, and profound realizations about the nature of reality. This episode explores what it’s like to have an awakening others may not understand, and the courage it takes to trust the journey any way.
Madi shares the pivotal role inspired creativity played in her awakening, how confronting limiting beliefs put her on a new path, and what it was like to suddenly experience a new level of awareness, deep inner knowing, and communication with the divine. Together, Paige and Madi explore divine downloads, karmic cycles, reincarnation, the law of attraction, mental health, the human experience, and the importance of grounding and integration after a spiritually transformative experience. This episode is a raw, expansive reminder that growth can be uncomfortable, misunderstood, and deeply transformative, and that trusting your inner truth matters more than being understood.
This episode sheds light on the foundation of Paige and Madi’s You’re meant 2 be here community, offering background on the experiences that inspired the co-creation of the Meant To Be Heard Podcast.

As his physical body lay broken, Jeffery describes an extraordinary out-of-body experience where he encountered a love beyond words, remembered his oneness with all things, and was given a profound choice — whether or not to return to this life. During his six-month recovery in the hospital, he experienced additional spiritual encounters that deepened his understanding of life after death, free will, and the soul’s journey.

This episode explores themes of trauma, healing, near-death experiences, spirituality, God, and the nature of reality, revealing a universe rooted in unity — where there are no mistakes, only lessons chosen by the soul for growth. Jeffery also shares how reconnecting with joy, nature, compassion, and human connection allowed him to heal, love again, and live from a place of oneness.
A powerful reminder that we are eternally connected, guided, and unconditionally loved — and that sharing spiritually transformative experiences can awaken truth, hope, and remembrance in others.
