What Happens When You Die? (Part Two): A Journey to the Other Side with Peter Panagore
This is part two of my interview with Peter Panagore, who is sharing the incredible stories of his not one but two near-death experiences. In this episode, you’ll hear about what happened the second time he died and how it’s changed how he goes through life.
We talk about the difficulties of living as your new authentic self after having a transformational experience and go even deeper into questions around death, mysticism, enlightenment, and what Peter describes as “the union experience.” I encourage you to keep an open mind while you listen to our fascinating conversation!
What did you take from Peter’s story? I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message.

What Happens When You Die? (Part One): A Journey to the Other Side with Peter Panagore
Is there any bigger journey we take than the journey to the other side?
Today’s guest is Peter Panagore, who is sharing the incredible story of his first (yes, first) near-death experience. In part one of this two-part series, you’ll hear the harrowing tale of how Peter froze to death and came back to life while ice climbing and why it’s important for him to continue to tell his story years later. We talk about mystical experiences and how to interpret them, why he no longer asks “why,” and share our thoughts on why perhaps we should all think a bit more about death.
No matter your beliefs, you’ll be captivated by his tale of returning from the beyond and how it’s transformed his life.
Stay tuned for part two, where we get into some more thoughtful questions and talk about his second near-death experience.
What are your thoughts on near-death experiences? What did you take from this episode? I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message.
