Summary
In this deeply moving episode, Helen is joined by Sophia Kramer, whose life has been shaped by five near-death experiences, childhood trauma, grief and profound spiritual awakening.
Sophia shares her first near-death experience at the age of five after contracting typhoid fever, describing leaving her body, encountering angelic beings and connecting with guides who would remain part of her life journey. Returning to everyday life left her feeling different from those around her and searching for deeper meaning and understanding.
Together, Helen and Sophia explore the challenges of growing up with emotional neglect, addiction within the family, violence, abuse and loss, alongside the healing work that helped Sophia transform her life. They discuss therapy, somatic healing, family constellations, hypnotherapy and life between lives regression, and how each contributed to her journey from surviving to thriving.
The conversation also explores ancestral patterns, soul purpose, signs from loved ones after death, intuition, forgiveness, reconciliation and the possibility that even our most painful experiences may hold deeper meaning.
This is a powerful, vulnerable and inspiring conversation about healing, consciousness, resilience, love and learning to trust life, even through its darkest moments.
