In this episode, Debbie speaks with Kat Sanders, a medium who will share stories of how she has connected parents with their children on the other side and how this has helped them in their pain and grief.  She teaches others to be open to their own intuition and she will discuss how mediumship works.

About Kat Sanders: Kat Sanders flatlined from a massive brain hemorrhage in 2010.  Her beautiful visit to the afterlife revealed the continuation of life and the connection between all living things.  Once she pierced that veil it would remain open to her.  But returning to the physical world was a challenge.  She experienced the roadblocks suffered by millions of people with similar experiences.  Naysaying family members, churches and friends made her feel uncomfortable about sharing her story.  Over the next few months, Kat's unique abilities became undeniably real.  Kat has since evolved into a Medium and a medical intuitive. She co-authored a self-help book, Unstoppable Life.  She has also been featured on an episode of an A&E TV series "I Survived, Beyond and Back".  She passionately shares her incredible near-death experience with the International Association for Near Death Studies groups and various organizations.
