What The Dying See Before They Let Go… A Death Doula Reveals All

What happens when we die? In this powerful conversation on Hey Soul Sista, we, explore the final moments of life, what people see as they are dying, and whether consciousness continues beyond the body. Mel speaks with death doula and plant medicine guide Kat Courtney, who has spent over 20 years sitting with the dying and witnessing extraordinary experiences at the threshold between life and death. Kat also shares insights from her work with ayahuasca and plant medicine, and how these altered states of consciousness reveal profound truths about the soul, spirit, and what may lie beyond death. This is a conversation about fear, love, surrender—and what it really means to let go.
