In this episode, host Dani Foffa speaks with Nancy Maier Lipari, a remarkable near-death experiencer (NDE) whose journey offers profound insight into life, death, and the power of love. In 1975, Nancy fell from the top of a ladder, rupturing her liver and leaving her hovering between life and death for three days. During that time, she experienced a transformative near-death experience—leaving her body, traveling through a realm of pure light and love, and undergoing a life review that revealed how deeply our thoughts and actions affect others. Nancy’s NDE opened her awareness to other realities existing beside our own, showing that everything in life is connected by love. In this conversation, she shares how that experience helped her support her son’s transition to the other side, the lessons she learned about God and the meaning of life, and the ongoing process of integrating her spiritual awakening into everyday living. This episode is a timeless reminder that love is the purpose of life, and that even the smallest acts of kindness echo across eternity. Nancy's book, Dancing with the Divine NOW, is a vessel for transformation. The call is to co-create Heaven NOW and is more action-oriented and community-driven than many titles that focus solely on personal insight. It’s not just about awakening—it’s about embodying divinity in daily life.

What is an NDE? A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.
