What Actually Happens After You Die — And Why It Matters Right Now

What actually happens after we die? Not the comforting version. Not the tunnel and the light and the everything-is-fine. The specific, structured, verifiable version…mapped in detail by someone who has spent more than 20 years studying the invisible architecture of the soul. In this episode Will and Karen sit down with internationally recognized intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal to explore one of the most profound and underexplored questions in all of spirituality: what the soul experiences between death and rebirth, and why understanding that journey might be the most important thing you can do while you are still alive. Inna draws from her own direct experiences, including witnessing her grandmother's passing in real time and observing the etheric body leave the physical form, and from more than two decades of deep study in the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophical tradition. The result is one of the most rigorously structured conversations about the afterlife, soul evolution, and spiritual discernment you will find anywhere in the podcast space.
