The Science Behind Channeling | Helané Wahbeh

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

Show Notes

Imagine growing up where family gatherings meant 30 to 40 people watching your grandmother slip into trance and speak in voices that weren't her own. That was just any given Sunday for Dr. Helané Wahbeh. She spent years hiding this from academia until she found the Institute for Noetic Sciences, where she's now the Director of Research. Helané didn't just study channeling—she learned to do it. What she discovered through her research and personal experience is that we are all capable of tapping into something beyond ourselves. The messages that come through are remarkably consistent: we are so much more than our physical bodies.

I’ve had hundreds of conversations about what happens after we die, but I’ve never explored it quite like this. My guest, Amy B. Scher, wrote a novel about a teenage girl who wakes up in a support group on the other side—and it’s funny, grounding, and oddly comforting. We talk about her real-life cousin’s murder, the messages she’s received since, and why healing doesn’t always require all the answers. If you’ve ever wondered whether your loved ones are okay, this one’s for you.

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.
