Life, Death & The Space Between with Dr. Amy Robbins

What if the key to dying without fear isn't about death at all—but about how fully we're living right now? I sat down with Ram Dev Dale Borglum, a true pioneer of the conscious dying movement, who has spent his life helping people face the end with awareness and grace. We talk about his journey from a Stanford math PhD to living with Ram Dass, what it's really like to sit with the dying, and why he believes all fear is ultimately a fear of death. He shares a powerful, practical framework for awakening that bridges Eastern wisdom with the challenges of our modern world. This conversation is a profound invitation to stop waiting and start living as if this moment is the only one we have.

I've sat with many mediums, but watching Connie Fusella work is something else entirely. In this episode, she reads for Lori—a woman she's never met, never spoken to, no emails, no connection of any kind. What comes through will stop you. A father who carries regret. A daughter gone too soon. And a message about forgiveness that lands exactly where Lori needs it. This is mediumship at its most raw and honest, and it shows what happens when spirit meets an open heart.

What if your entire life flashed before your eyes—not as a highlight reel, but as a vivid review where you felt every emotion you ever caused? My guest today, Connie Fusella, experienced exactly that during the first of three near-death experiences. Connie is a certified medium with the Forever Family Foundation, and her journey is unlike any I’ve shared before. We talk about her initial reluctance to embrace her abilities, the profound shifts after her NDEs, and her groundbreaking work communicating with non-speaking autistic children. This is part one of a powerful two-part series, and I know you’ll be as captivated by her story as I am.

This is a huge milestone for me — 500 episodes of Life, Death, and the Space Between.

I wanted to celebrate by going back through the archives and pulling the moments that have moved me the most over these past eight years. From Dr. Lisa Miller's research on the awakened brain to Dr. Tony Ciccoria's incredible near-death experience after being struck by lightning, from hospice nurse Julie's shared death experience to Caroline Myss's fierce wisdom on faith — these are the conversations that have shaped this podcast and deepened my understanding of consciousness, grief, and what happens when we die. Whether you've been here since the beginning or this is your first episode, I hope these clips open your mind and remind you that there is so much more to this life than we can see.

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes a global one? In this episode, I’m joined again by my friend David Ferrugio, and he shares how losing his father on 9/11 at just 12 years old shattered his world and forced a profound rebirth. We explore the illusion of control, how family members grieve on different paths, and the profound, sometimes loud, signs from his dad that confirmed we are never truly gone. David’s new book, You’re Not Dead Yet, is a masterclass in transforming grief into a life fully lived, and our conversation is a powerful reminder that while loss changes us, it doesn't have to end our story.
