In this episode of A Life Afterlife Podcast, host Deborah Gabby Baker sits down with Ryan "Chaos" Curtis, professional MMA fighter and host of the Made in Chaos podcast, for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about identity, grief, and resilience. Ryan opens up about growing up in Dublin 1, the tight-knit but fading sense of community he was raised in, and the boxing legacy in his family (Champions Avenue is even named after his grandfather). He speaks candidly about the neck injury that nearly ended his life and forced him to rebuild his identity beyond fighting, the recovery process, and why he ultimately stepped back from competition. The conversation turns deeply personal as Gabby offers spontaneous spiritual readings, connecting Ryan to his late father — who died from an overdose when Ryan was ten months old — and his mother, who passed from COPD. Ryan reflects on fatherhood, becoming a dad to his daughter, survivor's guilt around friends still recovering from serious injuries, his skepticism toward traditional therapy, and the philosophy behind his own podcast, Made in Chaos. It's an honest, funny, and moving episode about turning chaos into growth.

On this episode of A Life Afterlife Podcast, host Deborah Gaby Baker sits down with three of her closest friends — Dylan Flynn, Sam Baker & Leon Creighton — for an open, unscripted chat about mediumship, spirituality, and the afterlife. Gaby explains what being a psychic medium actually involves, breaks down Reiki, crystals, and protective rituals like palo santo and holy water, and unpacks a recurring childhood nightmare. The group swaps eerie personal stories of premonitions and unexplained experiences, dives into a discussion on music frequencies and "dark" energy in the industry, and hears a moving near-death account. Gaby then pulls the romance and psychic tarot decks for live readings on love, career, and family for each of the boys — including a surprising message from Dylan's late grandfather. A fun, heartfelt, and occasionally chaotic episode blending genuine spiritual insight with plenty of banter.

In this episode of A Life Afterlife Podcast, Gaby the Medium sits down with paranormal investigator and fellow medium Lyndsey Forde (of TikTok) for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it's really like to live as an empath and medium. Lindsay shares her earliest childhood memories of spirit communication — including a haunting premonition on the night her mother passed — and traces her path from a poltergeist-filled childhood home in the north of Ireland to years of public paranormal investigations across historic Irish sites. She opens up about the darker side of the gift: a terrifying encounter at a haunted mansion that named itself "Satan," a psychic attack during an early mediumship show that led to a spiral of addiction and ill health, and the hard lessons she learned about psychic protection along the way. The conversation also covers TikTok's tarot and Ouija board trends, the energetic cost of empathic work on relationships and marriage, astral projection, lucid dreaming, and how to ground and protect your energy in daily life. A raw, real, and at times funny conversation about the blessings and burdens of being "the impact."

In this episode, Gaby Baker sits down with two guests from Ballyfermot, Dublin, for an open and often funny conversation about identity, transformation, and the spiritual undercurrents running through their lives. Paige, 28, shares her journey as a trans woman — from recognizing her identity as a young child, through social and medical transition in her teens, to life two years post gender-reassignment surgery. She speaks candidly about resilience, self-acceptance, and why she sees her path not as something to overcome but as a source of strength and self-knowledge. Alan, known online as "Alan Loves World" (and affectionately as "Alan Loves Chicken"), talks about his years in reality TV, a Brazilian Butt Lift and its recovery, and a pivotal appearance on an American plastic-surgery TV show with Dr. Terry Dubrow that led him to reverse some cosmetic work and return to his natural red hair — a turning point he describes as central to becoming who he is today. He also identifies as non-binary and discusses fluid attraction, fame in a small community, and dealing with online trolling and tabloid attention. The conversation moves through psychic and intuitive experiences, protective "gut feeling" moments (including a frightening story about a nightclub scam in Istanbul), crystals and their spiritual associations (carnelian, rose quartz), and reflections on found family within the trans community. The episode closes with sponsor shout-outs and some lighthearted chicken-based banter throughout. Disclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
