What if something poisonous could also be profoundly healing?

In this fascinating episode, Jay and David sit down with plant-medicine practitioner Kate McCabe for an extraordinary conversation about psychedelics, addiction, healing, and the mysterious territory where spirituality and science intersect.

Kate's own journey is remarkable. After years of struggling with opioid addiction, she was set free almost instantly by ibogaine. And then, just days later, she had a profound encounter with bufo – toad poison – that would change the course of her life.

Jay also shares his own extraordinarily intense experience with bufo, including visions of past lives, encounters with what he perceived as spiritual guides, a terrifying struggle to surrender, and the overwhelming realization that reality may be far larger than the categories we use to explain it.

Is what happens during these experiences a chemical reaction in the brain, a journey into the subconscious, a glimpse into another dimension—or something we don't yet have language for?

As always, Realization Lab doesn't tell you what to believe. We explore the experience and leave the mystery open.

In Part Two of our conversation with Anita Moorjani, Anita takes us inside the extraordinary near-death experience that changed her life – and the other-worldly encounter with her father that gave her a new understanding of how to live. Meanwhile, her husband Danny Moorjani shares what it was like to watch Anita go through her ordeal and wait for her return.

And then comes the moment that makes this story so deeply moving: Anita returns to this world, and she and Danny are reunited in an explosion of joy.

Together, Anita and Danny share a remarkable story about death, love, healing, and the mysterious message that changed Anita forever.

Anita Moorjani’s near-death experience is one of the most extraordinary stories of survival, transformation, and consciousness ever told. But there’s another side of the story we’ve never heard.

Anita’s husband, Danny Moorjani, was there when Anita’s cancer took her to the brink of death. He watched her condition deteriorate, heard the doctors’ warnings, and yet refused to believe that the woman he loved was dying.

In this deeply personal conversation, Anita and Danny tell the story of what happened during those extraordinary days — from Anita’s battle with cancer to the moment she entered a profound near-death experience and saw her life, her relationships, and her existence in an entirely new way.

For the first time ever, Danny tells his side of the story. And what emerges is truly a near-death-experience love story — a powerful, touching, and thoroughly captivating story of two people whose extraordinary connection may extend far beyond this lifetime.

In Part Two of our conversation with Sarah Breskman Cosme, Sarah puts our own David Ronn under hypnosis for a past life regression.

What happens next takes David somewhere he never expected to go. He begins describing images, people, places, and experiences from what appears to be another lifetime—details that seem to emerge spontaneously as Sarah guides him deeper into his subconscious.

But the regression takes an even stranger turn when Sarah begins asking David about his purpose in this life, the lessons he may have carried forward, and his possible connection to something beyond our physical world.

Some of what David experiences is deeply personal. Some of it is downright bizarre. And some of it is difficult to explain away.

After the hypnosis, David and Jay sit down to unpack what happened. Did David actually access a past life, or was his imagination simply creating a story in real time? We land — as we often do — on opposite sides of things, and dig into it: quantum physics, levitating yogis, dream logic, and what it would actually take to change either of our minds.

Welcome back to the Realization Lab.

What if the deepest part of you knows far more about your life than your conscious mind does?

Sarah Breskman Cosme is a master hypnotist and past life regression practitioner, trained in Dolores Cannon’s method of quantum healing hypnosis. She guides people into a deep state of trance where she can access what she describes as their “higher self”—the part of them that knows their soul, their purpose, and the experiences that have shaped them across lifetimes.

 In this fascinating conversation, Sarah takes us inside her work with past-life regression and the extraordinary stories that emerge from her sessions. We explore clients who uncover memories of ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria, experiences involving extraterrestrials, and emotional wounds that Sarah believes can carry from one lifetime into another.

What happens when you uncover the source of a trauma that may have begun thousands of years ago? And what might your higher self reveal about why you are here in this lifetime?

Jonathan Ashford had a powerful near death experience (NDE) and he now believes a major crossroads is approaching for all of us.

We couldn’t let our conversation with Jonathan end without asking a few more questions. And in this brief addendum, Jonathan shares some powerful insights—and predictions—about what may lie ahead.

He explores the idea of a “new Earth,” the tension between love and fear, jumping timelines, free will, self-love, and the significant choices we may all soon face.

In Part One, Jonathan Ashford described being a driven tech executive who had a powerful near death experience (NDE) — and came back changed beyond recognition. In Part Two, the story goes further than anyone expected. Jonathan reveals the messages that started arriving months in advance, pinpointing an exact time and location: 4:30 a.m., deep in the Moab desert, on the third anniversary of his death. He walked in not knowing if he'd walk out.

Jonathan says, during his second death, he was somewhere else entirely — a place he calls "the space between spaces." When he came back, so did pieces of his humanity he thought were gone for good: taste, desire, the ability to fall for someone. 

That someone is Elise Phipps, who joins the conversation to tell her side — how she found her way to Jonathan through a small Idaho town, a wave of second-hand recommendations, and a first meeting that left her without a single question left to ask. Together they trace the eerie synchronicities that followed, and a bond that developed without it ever feeling like a choice.

It's a story about surrender, about what's left of a person after everything material has been stripped away twice — and about what starts to grow back.

Jonathan Ashford never expected to become one of the most compelling voices in the near-death experience community.

Before his death, he was a successful technology executive living what he describes as a "James Bond lifestyle"—wealthy, ambitious, intensely driven, and openly dismissive of spirituality. Then, at just 46 years old, his body suddenly began shutting down – and Jonathan died.

What followed completely shattered his understanding of reality.

In this deeply moving conversation, Jonathan describes leaving his body, experiencing overwhelming unconditional love, witnessing a profound life review, encountering what he calls "Love Itself," and being given a choice: remain where he was... or return to help others.

He also explains why he no longer fears death, why he believes consciousness survives the body, and how the man who came back bears almost no resemblance to the person who died.

Whether you're skeptical, spiritual, or simply curious about what may await us beyond this life, Jonathan's story is one you won't soon forget.

When we left off, Jay was about to reveal what happened when he got on Shana's table himself — and how it cracked something open within him he never expected.

In part two, Shana takes us inside the mechanics of her work: how trauma lodges itself in the body long before the mind can name it, how she reads a client's chakras like pages in a story, and why she believes nearly every adult struggle traces back to something unresolved in childhood — or, in a surprising number of cases, in a past life entirely. She walks through the session that surfaced a buried memory from Jay's own childhood, and Jay describes a powerful experience he calls nothing short of life-altering.

The conversation widens from there into the biggest questions Shana grapples with in her work: why suffering exists at all, what Kabbalah teaches about the sanctity of every single soul, and why she believes humanity is racing against the clock to wake up before the "new world" fully arrives. Along the way, David — still very much the skeptic — presses her on how much of this he can actually buy.

Part two of two — funny, unflinching, and at times genuinely startling.

Born and raised in a deeply Orthodox Jewish family, Shana Schlossberg found herself questioning the life she'd inherited. Walking away from her religious upbringing wasn't easy, yet it opened the door to a highly successful career in business and then... much more.

In this fascinating conversation, Shana shares how a series of profound mystical experiences led Shana down an unexpected path, culminating in what she describes as a face-to-face encounter with one of the Angels of Healing. She says the angel didn't simply inspire her—it taught her an entirely new method of healing, one designed to help people release emotional wounds at their deepest level.

 Tracing her remarkable journey from Orthodox Judaism, to the corporate world, and ultimately into a life devoted to spiritual healing, Shana shares details about her work,  why she believes humanity is undergoing a dramatic shift in consciousness, and what it means to surrender to a calling that defies conventional explanation.

Whether you're skeptical, spiritually curious, or simply intrigued by extraordinary life stories, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of faith, transformation, and the mysterious ways a life can unfold.
