WEBVTT

00:00:05.170 --> 00:00:07.450
Welcome, welcome to Round Trip Death everybody.

00:00:07.870 --> 00:00:10.750
We're so happy to have our guest today, Nicole

00:00:10.750 --> 00:00:14.210
Consiglio coming to us from Wisconsin in the

00:00:14.210 --> 00:00:16.670
United States. How are you, Nicole? I'm good.

00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:20.210
How are you? I'm great. I just want to give a

00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:22.589
little bit of a heads up to our listeners before

00:00:22.589 --> 00:00:26.219
we jump into your near -death experience. Quite

00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:29.160
often on this show things are so positive and

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.980
there's lots of butterflies and unicorns and

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.899
glitter and you know, whatever but sometimes

00:00:34.899 --> 00:00:39.420
people's experiences in an NDE are Much more

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.979
rugged and a little bit harder to listen to So

00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:45.859
you've been forewarned today is one of those

00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:48.719
if you have small children, you might not want

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.500
to have them listening But there's always a great

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:54.439
message and there's also some fun things that

00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.299
we're going to talk about today too. So with

00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.479
that bit of introduction, hi again, Nicole. Would

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.679
you mind just telling us a little bit about you

00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.599
so we can get to know you today? Yeah, I was

00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.700
born and raised in Waukesha, Wisconsin. I am

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:14.500
a mom of three teen girls and I don't know who

00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:19.159
I am anymore. I spent 27 years in medical up

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.140
until 2020. During COVID, I decided that I needed

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:26.780
to walk away from the medical field. And that

00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:30.519
was really the beginning of my journey into my

00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.819
near -death experience. Hmm. Do you mind if I

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:36.079
ask what were your thoughts on why you wanted

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.420
to walk away? I was deep into alcohol. I became

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:45.439
an alcoholic and I guess my drinking became more

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.500
of my job than a job. But also with COVID, I

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:53.640
knew I needed to walk away from the medical field

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.219
just because my mental health wasn't the greatest

00:01:56.219 --> 00:02:00.900
in 2020 as well. Yeah, what a rugged time. It

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.519
was. Especially for people in hospitals and things.

00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:07.780
And our thanks goes out to them. So your experience

00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:12.199
came four years ago. Yes. Alcohol started the

00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.120
whole thing, but Did the alcoholism and the loss

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.120
of job lead to you being suicidal? I had made

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.780
several suicide attempts or had ideas prior to.

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:30.699
I grew up with an alcoholic father, two neglectful,

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.400
emotionally immature parents. I raised my sister

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.379
by myself. I raised myself with very little guidance

00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:42.860
from my parents. So I knew better. than to drink

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:47.419
and become an alcoholic due to my dad. But in

00:02:47.419 --> 00:02:51.620
2016, I chose to walk out of a marriage. I swear

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:55.180
it kind of gets sticky, but he was a fraud. So

00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:58.060
I actually began drinking in that marriage. I

00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:00.979
also had severe postpartum depression with my,

00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:04.340
especially my last daughter. That just kind of

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:07.840
got the snowball going. I got addicted to my

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.319
prescription pills as well, like Xanax. some

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.560
migraine medicine. I went from the prescription

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.520
pills to the drinking. And then after my divorce

00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:25.599
in 2017, I became a nightly drinker. By 2019,

00:03:25.819 --> 00:03:31.979
2020, I was drinking before work and after work

00:03:31.979 --> 00:03:35.759
and all throughout the night. So yeah, it became

00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:41.259
my focus. So it went from alcoholism to a suicide

00:03:41.259 --> 00:03:45.319
mission, subconsciously. All right. Well, let's

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.580
jump to July of 2021. Well, a few days before

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:54.180
that, July 17th of 2021, my oldest daughter had

00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:57.560
texted me and she said, Mom, you need to get

00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.860
help. And if you don't get help, we're not coming

00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:04.159
over ever again. So that was my ultimatum to

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.379
get help. Before, even before that, I had started

00:04:07.379 --> 00:04:10.060
to water down my drinks and try to wean myself

00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:14.800
off. July 21st, I can look back at pictures.

00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.160
I have pictures on my phone leading up to that

00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.939
and I don't have many memories. But something

00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:25.439
guided me to go outside that afternoon on July

00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:31.839
21st, 2021. And I was found unconscious in my

00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.750
driveway. and it was my neighbor who was an RN

00:04:35.750 --> 00:04:40.589
found me laying there. She came over and was

00:04:40.589 --> 00:04:43.569
starting to shake me awake. However, when I was

00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:45.470
found unconscious, I was actually having the

00:04:45.470 --> 00:04:48.910
near death already, the experience. So in that

00:04:48.910 --> 00:04:52.470
instant, I was laying down what looked like a

00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:55.129
workout bench and there were two girls standing

00:04:55.129 --> 00:04:56.910
at my seat and they looked like they were looking

00:04:56.910 --> 00:04:59.870
at something and they turned around and they

00:04:59.870 --> 00:05:04.060
attacked me. And they held me down. And I began

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:07.939
to fight them. And there was a phone that happened

00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:11.240
to appear on the wall. And I grabbed the phone

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.639
and it was instantly connected to a friend of

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.699
mine. And I began screaming, don't believe them,

00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:20.019
don't believe them. And then I was woken up by

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.839
my neighbor. She had been rubbing my chest trying

00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.279
to get me to wake up. And I stumbled up the driveway.

00:05:26.459 --> 00:05:30.220
I got to the door. and I realized I had my phone

00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:34.040
in my hand still. So I called my former husband.

00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.180
We divorced last year. I called him and said,

00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:40.600
I need help. I'm ready for health now. He was

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.220
super excited that I had finally asked for help.

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.600
He couldn't get to our house fast enough, so

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.899
he called my brother. And my brother happened

00:05:48.899 --> 00:05:52.860
to be in some coincidence, if you will. He happened

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.939
to be coming back from Green Bay that day and

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:59.579
was driving past my exit. to get to my house.

00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.160
So he was there within five minutes and he was

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.279
able to take me to the ER. When into the ER,

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.180
I finally said the words I needed to say for

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:14.800
three years plus was, I need help. I'm an alcoholic

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.300
and I'm in detox and I need some help. I was

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:23.300
taken back to the ER room, asked a bunch of questions

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:25.439
and the doctor said we need to get a CT scan

00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.870
of your head. So they took me into CT scan. I

00:06:29.870 --> 00:06:32.329
remember being wheeled out and brought back into

00:06:32.329 --> 00:06:37.009
the room and the nurse said to me we have something

00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:40.350
that we can give you to relax and I accepted

00:06:40.350 --> 00:06:44.449
and at that point everything went black. I don't

00:06:44.449 --> 00:06:47.290
really remember much. My brother said something

00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:49.990
happened to you when they gave you that medication

00:06:49.990 --> 00:06:53.509
to relax because you went from talking and being

00:06:53.509 --> 00:06:56.579
pretty coherent to They couldn't get you awake.

00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.319
Then you started having trouble breathing. And

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.060
within, I think it was one to two hours, I was

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:05.920
transferred out of my local hospital and sent

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.660
to the major hospital in Milwaukee where I was

00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:13.500
put in liver transplant ICU on a ventilator,

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:17.540
on life support, and I went unconscious. And

00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:20.519
the other side of it, I remember being sucked

00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.660
up into like a vortex, like a tornado. It was

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:29.290
dark and dirty. I had, I opened my eyes and I

00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:32.290
had darkness all around me. Something was on

00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:36.850
top of me, on my throat, choking me out. And

00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:40.790
I fought so hard. I was being killed. I couldn't

00:07:40.790 --> 00:07:44.050
breathe. And I fought and I pushed. It felt like

00:07:44.050 --> 00:07:47.370
a barbell across my throat and 500 pounds. And

00:07:47.370 --> 00:07:50.149
I pushed this thing off with all my might. This

00:07:50.149 --> 00:07:54.529
black shadow scurried off to the right as the

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.879
Shadows scurried off. I looked up and there was

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.279
a balcony above me. It was really dimly lit and

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.540
it was my neighbor that had passed away in 1986.

00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.019
He was standing there. I had been best friends

00:08:09.019 --> 00:08:11.860
with his daughter growing up and he had his arms

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:13.980
crossed like this and he looked pretty upset

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:18.540
that I was where I was at. He then floated from

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:21.879
the top of this balcony to my face and basically

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.470
touched noses with me. and then he floated back

00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:29.350
up onto this balcony. I looked over to my left,

00:08:29.689 --> 00:08:33.409
and my mom was standing there. My mom was still

00:08:33.409 --> 00:08:36.470
alive at the time she passed away a year later,

00:08:36.649 --> 00:08:40.129
actually. She was standing there, also looking

00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:44.509
really upset that I was in this position. And

00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:46.990
then as I looked over, trying to figure out where

00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:51.230
I was at, the room lit up in a golden amber light,

00:08:51.509 --> 00:08:56.179
this warm, loving light. and Jesus glided out

00:08:56.179 --> 00:08:59.519
of this doorway. He didn't speak, but he had

00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:04.059
the long brown hair, a white gown full of light.

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:07.200
He just shone so bright. And he just stared at

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:12.200
me. He didn't speak to me. I looked over to my

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:16.080
left and my ex -husband was also on the floor

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.299
with me in this near death. He was chained down

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:23.019
and looked horrified that he was there. When

00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:26.200
the room lit up I could look behind me and there

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.039
were entities sitting behind me almost like we

00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:33.039
were in a courtroom and behind Yahshua or Jesus

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.940
there were little balls of light kind of bubbling

00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:40.360
around on this balcony. As I was looking around

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.779
a lightning bolt came down out of nowhere and

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:49.440
a brilliant lightning bolt, powerful. The vividness

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.250
of this lightning bolt I deal with flashbacks

00:09:52.250 --> 00:09:56.789
daily. And it struck me in the chest. It made

00:09:56.789 --> 00:10:00.750
this thunderous boom. Within that boom came the

00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:04.970
voice that said, make your decision, commanding

00:10:04.970 --> 00:10:08.429
me to make my decision. I lurched up. I could

00:10:08.429 --> 00:10:11.070
hear the chains rattling. I just had just realized

00:10:11.070 --> 00:10:14.409
that I was chained down as well. And I sat up

00:10:14.409 --> 00:10:18.289
and I screamed, I want my babies. In that moment,

00:10:19.289 --> 00:10:24.299
with God and in this scene, I reacted physically

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:28.379
as well. Nine people had to hold me down in the

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:33.080
ICU. April 20th of this past year of 2024, I

00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.840
was scrolling through TikTok and a video popped

00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:40.340
up and it was the tomb of Jesus. And I watched

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:43.799
this video and realized that is where I was in

00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.200
my near death. I come from a family of no faith.

00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:51.940
My dad was a 19 50s altar boy who was abused

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:54.679
in the Catholic Church. So we were just told

00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.179
to stay away from the church and we didn't really

00:10:57.179 --> 00:11:00.059
have a relationship with God or anything. So

00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:02.259
I didn't know the tomb of Jesus even existed

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:05.519
until I saw that video and I realized that's

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.860
where I was in this near -death. I was in the

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:13.399
tomb of Jesus. Wow. Okay. I want to unpack a

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.740
little bit of this before we move on further

00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:18.840
if you're okay with that. Mm -hmm. Did you feel

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.279
like there was a time that you left your body?

00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:26.860
Yes. Okay. Because I'm trying to sort of figure

00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:29.960
out where you someplace else, but then you remember

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.039
being held down in the ER. So it sounds like

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.820
you were kind of in and out. Is that how you

00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:40.159
felt? I was outside. It's like I had an awareness

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.899
of everything going on in the near death and

00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:48.429
in the physical reality. So I was There and there.

00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:51.230
I actually knew nine people held me down. I didn't

00:11:51.230 --> 00:11:53.950
ask. Well, I had a vision of some people running

00:11:53.950 --> 00:11:57.509
in and holding me down. And I asked my brother

00:11:57.509 --> 00:12:00.350
and my sister, did nine people come in and hold

00:12:00.350 --> 00:12:03.289
me down? And they were like, yes, how did you

00:12:03.289 --> 00:12:07.330
know? And I just knew how my new nine people

00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:09.809
had held me down. I do have other out of body

00:12:09.809 --> 00:12:12.950
experiences where I was standing shoulder to

00:12:12.950 --> 00:12:15.559
shoulder. My brother was here. My ex -husband

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.240
was here and I was standing between them. And

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.039
we were both, we were all looking at my body

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.700
in the ICU bed. And my brother said, what if

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:26.480
she doesn't make it? And my ex -husband said,

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.179
I don't know. And I could actually recount that

00:12:30.179 --> 00:12:33.360
when I came out of my coma. I do have the vision

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.659
of that. So you were out of body. They were not.

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:41.879
They were alive. And you were Having their kind

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.639
of perspective on what was going on or as if

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.000
you were kind of standing over their shoulder

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.120
Wow, that's interesting. Yeah, this is kind of

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.799
different. All right, you saw this figure of

00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.820
Jesus How did you know it was him? Was it because

00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:59.700
he looked like the pictures? That you've seen

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:02.080
or was there some other way that you felt it

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.539
was him just by looking at him I knew but also

00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:08.360
by the pictures the white gown his his light

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.389
was brilliant. It was almost blinding So it's

00:13:11.389 --> 00:13:12.710
just one of those things where I was like, oh,

00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:15.730
that's Jesus. That's amazing. You just automatically

00:13:15.730 --> 00:13:19.250
knew. Automatically knew. Okay. Now the tomb

00:13:19.250 --> 00:13:24.350
of Jesus, is this the one over in Jerusalem that

00:13:24.350 --> 00:13:27.850
it's hewn out of rock and it has like a circle

00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:31.450
kind of thing over? Okay. So you felt like you

00:13:31.450 --> 00:13:35.230
were in that place being held down. Wow. Okay,

00:13:35.230 --> 00:13:37.029
I want to hear more about the lightning bolt.

00:13:37.289 --> 00:13:40.299
That's unusual too. It just came out of nowhere,

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:44.340
out of thin air. It scared me so bad to my core.

00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:47.600
The power that came from it, the light was so

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.580
blinding. Like it just blinded me and I got mad.

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:52.879
I didn't get scared at that point. Then I got

00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.759
mad and I yelled at this lightning bolt that

00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:00.379
I wanted my babies. And it said, make your decision.

00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:04.159
And the decision I assume was stay here or go

00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.860
back. I believe so, to either stay where I was

00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:12.340
or Go back. But that wasn't Jesus talking. No,

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.019
that was God. Okay. That was my God. But you

00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:20.200
got upset with this God. Yes, I got mad and I

00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.360
screamed at him. Of course, children do scream

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.379
at their parents sometimes, don't they? Right.

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:28.960
That's so true. Wow. I'm just wondering what

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.419
else you felt through this. Were there times

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:34.399
of fear and times of peace? What kinds of things

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.690
did you feel? It was mostly terrifying. I was

00:14:37.690 --> 00:14:41.730
panicking. It felt like a never -ending dream,

00:14:41.929 --> 00:14:44.409
but it felt too real to be a dream. It was too

00:14:44.409 --> 00:14:48.169
vivid in color, but mostly it was distressing.

00:14:48.649 --> 00:14:51.830
I came back really afraid and I have PTSD now

00:14:51.830 --> 00:14:55.629
because of it. I get daily flashbacks. Even with

00:14:55.629 --> 00:14:59.029
the Jesus part, it was distressing. Yes, because

00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:02.470
there was more to it. After I screamed at God,

00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:05.889
then I was on the soul work, what felt like soul

00:15:05.889 --> 00:15:09.740
work. In one particular, I was looking for a

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:14.879
girl named Mary and I was running through Milwaukee

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.259
bars trying to find Mary. And I can remember

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:20.899
running through it had wood paneling. I could

00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:23.159
remember details like the bar was over here running

00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.919
through there was like a gambling machine and

00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.000
a wood paneling wall. And I'm screaming for this

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.500
girl named Mary. I don't know who Mary is. I

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:33.820
don't know what she looks like, but I am running

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:36.779
through these scenes trying to find Mary. In

00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:39.120
the next scene, I was at a trap house, a drug

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.000
house. Blue walls, the disco ball was going,

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.139
music was going. The floor was really sticky.

00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:47.799
I was scared. Again, don't know who Mary is,

00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.600
why I'm looking for her. But eventually I got,

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.879
my soul got tired and I fell asleep on the sticky

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:58.279
blue walled room. And then in the next scene,

00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.659
I am at a church and I can remember looking up

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:05.139
at the church, seeing the brick on the walls.

00:16:05.769 --> 00:16:08.649
and running into the door, going into the church,

00:16:08.909 --> 00:16:11.470
screaming for this Mary, so afraid I can't find

00:16:11.470 --> 00:16:15.649
her. And I run up the stairs and I come to an

00:16:15.649 --> 00:16:18.129
open area that kind of looks like a kitchen and

00:16:18.129 --> 00:16:21.889
there's a nun carrying a baby. And I screamed,

00:16:22.129 --> 00:16:25.250
is that Mary? And the lady looked at me and she

00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:28.870
said, yes, this is Mary. And I put my hand on

00:16:28.870 --> 00:16:33.590
Mary and I said, thank God I found Mary. And

00:16:33.590 --> 00:16:36.700
when I said those words, my near -death changed

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:39.840
into a more peaceful scene. So there are some

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.879
commonalities here with distressing experiences.

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.899
And that is that they often go from scene to

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:49.120
scene to scene, sort of like you're explaining.

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:53.519
And some are even much, much more horrific than

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.899
what you had to go through. I know you've studied

00:16:56.899 --> 00:17:00.019
a few of those too. Okay, keep going. What else

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:02.419
was there that happened? Well that was pretty

00:17:02.419 --> 00:17:04.680
much the end of the distressing. I had more out

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.859
of body experiences. There is one where I was

00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:10.480
sitting, this is part of the distressing, where

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.519
I was sitting in a room full of plastic and there's

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.319
a chandelier behind me and this room is just

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.220
walled off in plastic and I'm sitting on a ledge

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:22.980
and I'm waiting and I don't and I'm scared, I'm

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:26.059
lonely, it's cold, it's dreary, it's kind of

00:17:26.059 --> 00:17:29.619
like just a dreary crappy day type of feeling.

00:17:29.930 --> 00:17:34.329
I knew I was in the void or the abyss. I could

00:17:34.329 --> 00:17:39.069
feel it. And I was waiting for my cousins. They

00:17:39.069 --> 00:17:43.289
arrive eventually. I see my oldest cousin Tony

00:17:43.289 --> 00:17:46.970
come up. His wife is there. And he says, we're

00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:50.750
waiting for their sons. And I follow them around.

00:17:51.369 --> 00:17:53.450
They don't know that I'm there. They can't hear

00:17:53.450 --> 00:17:56.390
me talking, trying to wave my arms, get their

00:17:56.390 --> 00:18:00.150
attention. The boys finally arrive. and they're

00:18:00.150 --> 00:18:02.450
working on this house. But again, it's scary

00:18:02.450 --> 00:18:04.690
because nobody could see me, nobody could hear

00:18:04.690 --> 00:18:07.509
me, nobody could help me. I was just so lonely

00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:11.230
in this space that I was in. And I did talk to

00:18:11.230 --> 00:18:14.650
my cousin post -coma and he can verify that he

00:18:14.650 --> 00:18:18.210
was actually at his lake house that weekend working

00:18:18.210 --> 00:18:21.529
on his house that was under construction. And

00:18:21.529 --> 00:18:24.150
I'd only been there one other time 10 years before.

00:18:24.509 --> 00:18:27.170
So a lot of it was out of body experiences as

00:18:27.170 --> 00:18:30.099
well. which was terrifying when you don't understand

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:33.079
where are you, you know, and to have such detail

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.480
afterwards. How did this all come to an end?

00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.980
I know you were in the hospital for quite some

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:42.640
time. I was in the hospital for about 40 days

00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.420
and I want to backtrack to Mary real quick. Come

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:48.460
to find out later on after talking to my mom.

00:18:49.099 --> 00:18:52.740
My mom had a baby sister named Mary who had died

00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:55.680
shortly after childbirth. It bothered my mom

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.779
every day that she didn't know what happened

00:18:57.779 --> 00:19:02.440
to Mary. So I do believe that I did some soul

00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.599
work for my family to find baby Mary. That's

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.579
the only thing that makes sense was that my mom

00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:13.160
had a sister named Mary that passed away at birth.

00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:16.119
And it always bothered my mom that she could

00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.279
never figure out where Mary was buried or what

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.380
happened to her. So I do feel like that was the

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:24.630
soul work. That I needed to do for my family

00:19:24.630 --> 00:19:27.410
was to locate Mary. All right. How's your life

00:19:27.410 --> 00:19:30.509
changed from all of this? I've lost everybody

00:19:30.509 --> 00:19:33.950
basically I had a spiritual awakening seven months

00:19:33.950 --> 00:19:36.950
after coming out of the coma and That scared

00:19:36.950 --> 00:19:40.309
them. They were around when I had a couple my

00:19:40.309 --> 00:19:42.990
awakenings and suddenly I was able to channel

00:19:42.990 --> 00:19:47.549
and Have mystical things happen to me. So that

00:19:47.549 --> 00:19:51.130
scared them. I have a relationship with my youngest

00:19:51.349 --> 00:19:54.609
but my older two just have kind of went the wrong

00:19:54.609 --> 00:19:57.769
way for a while. It's just kind of keep mom at

00:19:57.769 --> 00:20:01.710
a distance. So I'm trying to deal with life without

00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:05.329
really being a mom right now. I end up getting

00:20:05.329 --> 00:20:09.230
a divorce. I can't work and I do have trouble

00:20:09.230 --> 00:20:12.869
working just because of the PTSD and the complex

00:20:12.869 --> 00:20:16.170
trauma. This hurled me into a healing journey

00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:19.390
that I was not prepared for after the spiritual

00:20:19.390 --> 00:20:22.470
awakening, all of my trauma. came to the surface.

00:20:22.910 --> 00:20:25.849
So I'm still working on that and building myself

00:20:25.849 --> 00:20:28.809
back up. But I can channel. I connect to Spirit.

00:20:28.910 --> 00:20:32.369
I can connect to God. The universe gives me little

00:20:32.369 --> 00:20:35.089
winks here and there to let me know that I'm

00:20:35.089 --> 00:20:38.049
doing okay. But I've pretty much lost my life.

00:20:38.509 --> 00:20:41.950
I lost my house. I got divorced. The house went

00:20:41.950 --> 00:20:45.880
up for sale. The car got repode. Right now I

00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.759
kind of feel like a sad country song. It's not

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.039
funny, but I'm glad you can laugh about it a

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.740
little bit. That is so rough. Yeah. That is so

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:57.440
rough. How's the recovery from alcohol going?

00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:01.839
I couldn't really do AA. I needed to go right

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:06.279
with God. So I can actually just thank God because

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.799
it's just been something I needed to deal with

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.819
personally with God. And so it's been great.

00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:15.160
I've been sober. I don't drink. If I'm around

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.539
alcohol, I get nauseous. So congrats on that.

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:23.599
That is a tough, tough journey. Are you glad

00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:25.859
that you were given that ultimatum from your

00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:29.359
daughter? Was that a good thing? She's my angel,

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:32.680
the one that saved me. Yes, I thank her as much

00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.519
as she'll allow me to. I think she's getting

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.700
tired of me thanking her, but I do. Yeah, I do

00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:41.539
thank her. Could you use that as advice for other

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:44.539
families going through something like this? Yes.

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:47.380
The alcoholism destroyed my relationship and

00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:50.380
tore me apart as a mom. It's been hard to connect

00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:53.119
to being a mom again after you've destroyed your

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.940
own family. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about

00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:58.680
something fun for a change. A little change of

00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.200
mood here. And that is we're going to talk about

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.579
electronics. I've had some people on the show

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:07.869
that This didn't happen before their NDEs, but

00:22:07.869 --> 00:22:11.690
after their NDEs they had unusual things happen

00:22:11.690 --> 00:22:15.569
with electronics such as wristwatches would stop

00:22:15.569 --> 00:22:19.630
working, cell phones wouldn't work, etc. And

00:22:19.630 --> 00:22:21.990
you were telling me just a couple of little things

00:22:21.990 --> 00:22:24.029
like that. Tell me what's going on with you.

00:22:24.210 --> 00:22:27.869
And this only came up because when we first started

00:22:27.869 --> 00:22:31.450
recording everything quit and didn't work and

00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:35.119
we had to start over again. Give me some examples

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:38.980
of what happens to you. I was at Barnes and Noble

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:42.519
one day checking out. The whole computer system

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.960
shut down. A couple of times I've been at my

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.539
local library checking out books and the self

00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:52.299
-checkout will crash and I have to have them

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:55.640
reboot it. Electronics, they drain a lot when

00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:58.319
I'm channeling or when there's a lot of high

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:02.039
vibrational energy around me. My phone will drain

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:05.279
pretty quick. You mean the battery will go like

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:09.720
from 100 % to 20 % in a couple of minutes? Yes.

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:14.039
On my computer, it'll just shut down completely.

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:17.319
Just out of nowhere. Sometimes if my phone is

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.619
glitching, if I blow on it, it's enough to get

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:22.960
it to stop glitching. So you always see me blowing

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.500
on my... Yeah, I can blow on my phone and it'll

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:29.420
stop glitching. Okay. Just letting people know.

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:32.660
When they see Nicole blowing on her phone, there's

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:34.539
a good reason for it. There's a good reason.

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:38.920
Okay. Anything else? How about gas pumps? Nothing

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.619
on gas pumps yet. Okay. Good. All right, Nicole.

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.140
Well, this has been a roller coaster, but you

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:48.039
know, congrats on coming along. This has been

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:50.619
a rough journey for you and just keep hanging

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:53.859
in there. Cause my mom used to always say, keep

00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:57.869
your chin up. Yes. All right. Give us some final

00:23:57.869 --> 00:23:59.630
thoughts here. I'm going to give you the last

00:23:59.630 --> 00:24:03.589
word. Give thanks to our Creator, to the universe.

00:24:03.890 --> 00:24:06.609
I don't think us humans give gratitude like we

00:24:06.609 --> 00:24:09.509
should to the bigger picture of things, especially

00:24:09.509 --> 00:24:12.450
right now with everything going on in the world.

00:24:12.710 --> 00:24:16.210
We definitely need to look at higher powers to

00:24:16.210 --> 00:24:18.950
try to pull us out. I'm living testimony that

00:24:18.950 --> 00:24:22.809
I have nothing living out of my car and borrowing

00:24:22.809 --> 00:24:25.269
the space to be able to do this interview, but

00:24:25.269 --> 00:24:29.250
I keep my faith. every day. And I know that God

00:24:29.250 --> 00:24:32.630
and the universe and my angels and my ancestor

00:24:32.630 --> 00:24:35.650
spirit team, they're all working in my favor,

00:24:35.829 --> 00:24:38.869
trying to get me the best life possible. And

00:24:38.869 --> 00:24:42.690
it takes a strong person to really put faith

00:24:42.690 --> 00:24:47.509
into invisible forces. Okay, well said. Well,

00:24:47.549 --> 00:24:50.549
Nicole, thanks for being with me today. And just

00:24:50.549 --> 00:24:54.380
a reminder, If anybody listening or a loved one,

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:57.500
there's a great crisis hotline out there. Just

00:24:57.500 --> 00:25:00.680
dial 988 on your phone from nearly anywhere in

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.819
the world and you can talk to somebody and get

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:08.200
some help. So be sure to do that. We want you

00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:10.980
to stay here and you can work through these tough

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:14.019
things. Nicole's a good example of that. Absolutely.

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:20.200
I'm a walking miracle. I shouldn't be here. Thanks

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:22.599
