#210 A 4-Year-Old Spirit: "Find Somebody to Play With Me"
Can children communicate after death? In this episode, RM, my medium friend, connects with a young girl in spirit who identifies herself as Ida Barger. She tells us about her family, describes her gravestone, remembers life on a farm with chickens and horses, and says she died from what she calls “the pox.” But one thing Ida keeps asking for is surprisingly simple: she wants someone to play with. We later travel to the cemetery to see whether we can find the grave she described. Almost immedi

#209 Do You See the Light? A Medium Helps Civil War Soldiers Cross Over
What happens to souls who don’t cross over after death? In this episode, I visit Mount Hebron Cemetery in Winchester, Virginia, where RM, my medium friend, connected with several Civil War soldiers at their gravesites.

#208 3 Things That Happen After We Die: What Spirits Say About the Afterlife
In this episode, I share three things I’ve been learning through spirit communication about the afterlife: the life review process, the way each soul’s crossing-over experience may be personally crafted, and the possibility of different levels or planes of existence after death. I’m not sharing this as a spiritual guru or telling you what to believe. I’m sharing what I’ve been learning through my medium friend and our conversations with souls who have passed, including my son, my mother, and ot

#207 What Do Our Loved Ones Do in Heaven? My Son Said He’s Surfing
What do our loved ones really do in heaven after they die? In this episode, I share a surprising message from my son that made me question what life after death may actually be like. I also share what my mother and other souls have described about daily life in the afterlife, including the activities they enjoy and the experiences they continue to have. Their messages raise an intriguing question: do we carry our interests and unfinished dreams with us after death? Is heaven a single place wher

#206 Where Is Jesus When We Die? A Spirit Communication Mystery
In this episode of The Soul Unleashed, I explore one of the biggest questions I’ve been asking through repeated spirit communication and mediumship: when souls cross over, do they meet Jesus right away? As a lifelong Catholic with an engineering mindset, I’ve been asking souls what happens after death, whether they are in life review, whether they have seen Jesus, and how this connects with purgatory, heaven, paradise, and the afterlife. What keeps coming through is surprising: souls who are st

#205 Would You Change Your Life If Purgatory Was Real?
Many of us wonder what really happens after death. Do we go straight to heaven, do we face judgment, is purgatory real, or is there something more personal the soul must go through before reaching paradise? I’ve wondered about those same questions, especially after my son passed away in 2020. Through repeated spirit communication and mediumship, I’ve been hearing a consistent description of what spirits say happens when we die. The Catholic Church calls it purgatory, but the spirits I’ve spoken
