Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.

Comedian Nacya Marreiro talks about losing her father to cancer, how quickly everything changed, and what it feels like to grieve before you’ve even processed the loss. From emotional numbness to crying at unexpected moments, this conversation explores what early grief actually looks like—raw, confusing, and deeply human.

We also discuss a near-death experience from her teenage years, complicated family dynamics, unresolved anger, and why humor often becomes a survival tool after loss.

David A. Williamson had a near-death experience during cardiac arrest that didn’t just change his beliefs — it ended the person he used to be.

After watching his body die from outside the hospital room, he returned without the anger, fear, and rigid identity that once controlled his life.

We explore ego death, consciousness, attention, and how a single experience can permanently alter how you relate to the world — and to other people.

This conversation isn’t about death itself.It’s about what survives when identity falls away.

Intuition isn’t magic — and it isn’t reserved for a few people.

In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore how intuition and awareness actually work, using mediumship as a lens to understand how humans perceive information beyond logic and overthinking.

This conversation breaks down:

• How intuitive perception shows up (imagery, sensation, “knowing”)
• How mediumship works without mysticism or dogma
• Why anxiety and control block intuitive awareness
• How these abilities are learnable, not exclusive

This is a grounded conversation about mediumship, intuition, and human consciousness — without fear, hierarchy, or false certainty.

Why does modern society avoid death—and what is it costing us?

In this episode of DEAD Talks, host David Ferrugio speaks with Paul Koudounaris, renowned art historian and author of Memento Mori, about how different cultures around the world honor the dead, why the West struggles with grief, and why pet loss is one of the most misunderstood forms of mourning.

From mummy rituals and skull festivals to Buddhist animal funerals, Paul shares how ritual—not avoidance—helps people heal. This conversation reframes death as connection, not fear.

A must-listen for anyone navigating grief, loss, or curiosity about death.
