Jaimie Alexander Was Dying When a Voice Asked Her to Choose: Stay or Go

In 2018, Jaimie Alexander's ruptured appendix nearly killed her. During her near-death experience, a voice spoke to her — and asked her to choose: stay or go. Most people know Jaimie from Blindspot and Thor. But this episode isn't about Hollywood. It's about the night her body started failing — and the spiritual encounter that changed the rest of her life. She's rarely opened up about this publicly. The voice she heard. The choice she was given. The reason she chose to stay — and what a doctor told her immediately after that she was completely unprepared for.In this conversation, we go deep on: → How she almost didn't make it to the hospital in time → The near-death experience she had during emergency surgery → What the voice said — and why she answered the way she did → How coming that close to dying led to her sobriety → What death taught her about how to actually live For more on Jaime Alexander:   / jaimiealexander   📚 Grab David's book You're Not Dead Yet: www.deadtalks.net/book ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ WATCH / LISTEN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2a9fS2Y...
