Signs of Life - Personal Experiences, September 24, 2026
vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 56:27
Signs of Life with Bob Ginsberg. Personal Experiences hosts Kimberly Saavedra and Dr. Betty Kovacs
Pennies, Radio Songs, and a Slamming Exercise Band: Callers Share After-Death Signs and Near-Death Visions
On this Personal Experiences edition of Signs of Life, hosts Kimberly Saavedra and Dr. Betty Kovacs read after-death encounter stories from Diane Arcangel and Melvin Morse and take calls from Melanie in Nevada and Marlene in Massachusetts, who describe pennies, a radio song, and other unmistakable signs from parents and partners who have died.
A Personal Experiences Evening Without Janet Mayer
Kimberly Saavedra opens this Personal Experiences hour of Signs of Life for the Forever Family Foundation, explaining that unlike the show's medium-focused episodes, tonight centers on listeners' own encounters with the afterlife, no medium required. She reads the call-in numbers for North America and international callers and thanks everyone who has shared stories in the past, saying it means more than they may realize. She introduces her co-host, Dr. Betty Kovacs, author of The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life and Merchants of Light, and notes that Janet Mayer is absent this evening but will return next month. The two settle into an easy exchange about the courage it takes to call in, agreeing that anonymity helps callers open up, and that listeners who stay quiet often reach out afterward to say how much the stories meant to them, even when the phone lines stay silent during the broadcast itself.
Betty Kovacs On Awakening And The Biofield
Dr. Betty Kovacs reflects on living in what she calls a suppressed and repressed world, one that inherited a centuries-old belief that death ends everything, a worldview she says causes needless suffering. She reads from Victor and Wendy Zammit's Friday Afterlife Report a channeled passage urging people not to give in to darkness but to keep sending light, calling the present moment a great awakening organized like a trauma center on the other side. She describes the biofield, the shared energetic space she says every experience of spirit ripples through, magnifying whatever is shared rather than staying contained to one person. Kimberly Saavedra likens grief to a journey through that same trauma center, and Kovacs recalls her late husband's vision of their son Pisti on a mountain in Peru, telling him that even the horizon is not the limit, a memory she says took her years to fully understand.
Melanie's Penny And A Text Thread From Mom
Melanie calls from Nevada, a regular listener nearing the six-year anniversary of her daughter Quincy's crossing and the first anniversary of her mother's death on August 30. She explains that her mother, married 76 years before her father died, was never a subtle communicator, so Melanie was surprised by what came through after a long-delayed driveway renovation, paid for partly with her inheritance, finally finished just days before the anniversary. Standing on the new porch, she finds a penny on the step, which she credits to her daughter. Sending a celebratory group text to her siblings, she later learns, to her shock, that it landed on the one dormant thread the family used a year earlier to announce their mother's hospitalization and stroke. Melanie calls it her mother's clumsy but unmistakable way of saying she is present, and a photo of her parents together that surfaces unbidden on her phone that same night.
Marlene's Signs From Her Soul Partner
Marlene calls from Massachusetts to describe the wave of signs that followed the death of her partner, a heavy metal musician she calls the love of her life. The day he died, she opens the console of his car and finds a dental floss package with the word Hi printed on the back. Renting a car soon after, a song he wrote for her plays unprompted on the radio. Walking laps around a nearby pond in her grief, she keeps finding stones painted with messages like I love you. The most striking sign comes when a resistance band looped over her doorknob lifts on its own and slaps against the door before falling still, a moment she says ends with her feeling slammed back into her own body. She adds that after being resuscitated during his hospitalization, her partner told her he saw a white light, and that a medium at a Forever Family Foundation grief retreat later told her he had struggled to let go because he did not want to leave her.
Hidden Money And A Verified Red Shoe
Kimberly Saavedra turns to Diane Arcangel's book Afterlife Encounters, reading the story of Houston businessman Charles Vance, visited in a dream by Murphy, a modest former vacuum cleaner store owner who tells him where he hid a large sum of money inside a wall, near a light socket, and asks that the message reach his widow, Lorraine. A year later, Lorraine confirms she found the money exactly where the dream described, just before a remodeling project would have exposed the hidden cash to demolition, and her daughter in Florida reports an identical dream with the same vivid, three-dimensional imagery. Betty Kovacs answers with a story from Dr. Melvin Morse about a heart transplant patient whose son-in-law, alone at home, wakes to see her standing at the foot of his bed telling him she will be fine, at the exact moment her heart stopped on the operating table. Kovacs follows with Morse's famous account of a man who left his body during surgery and correctly described a red tennis shoe sitting on a sixth-floor windowsill, later verified by hospital staff.
Closing Stories Of Comfort And Recognition
Betty Kovacs shares more accounts from Morse's Parting Visions, including two young cancer patients, Sandra and Chrissy, who never meet in life but reunite in a vision that erases Sandra's fear of death, and a woman who watches her room fill with light and hears a gentle voice say I'm taking him with me the night her father dies. Kimberly Saavedra reads two entries from Arcangel's collection: a stepfather's dream visit asking his stepdaughter, nicknamed Debba, to reassure his grieving wife, and an Argentine grandmother, Maria Elena, so skeptical of an afterlife that she hides under the covers rather than face her late grandson Pablo's luminous apparition at her bedroom door. Kovacs then recalls her own vision of translucent spirit beings at Lake Titicaca, long before any family loss, and closes with a shared vision she and her brother-in-law describe involving her son Pisti and the highway accident in Hungary that killed her husband, a passage that grows tangled in the source transcript. Saavedra thanks Melanie and Marlene for calling as the broadcast ends.

Research-Tested Mediumship and Live Caller Readings with Joanne Gerber
Mediums and Messages host Joe Perreta welcomes lab-tested, Forever Family Foundation certified medium Joanne Gerber for an evening of live call-in readings connecting four callers with mothers, a son, a father and brother, and a grandmother in spirit.
Announcements And Introducing Joanne Gerber
Joe Perreta opens this Mediums and Messages hour of Signs of Life for the Forever Family Foundation, reminding listeners to call in on a landline for the best reception and thanking sponsor Hugs from Heaven, which turns clothing into keepsakes. He previews two upcoming events: an October 24 and 25 psychic and mediumship development convention with an optional Friday dinner featuring Laura Lynne Jackson and Travis Holp, and a January 15 through 17 winter grief transformation retreat held at an intimate, bucolic center, which he notes was featured in the Netflix series Surviving Death. Perreta then introduces tonight's guest medium, Joanne Gerber, describing her as a Forever Family Foundation certified medium and a certified research medium with the Windbridge Institute, holder of a business administration and marketing degree, Reiki certified, certified in clinical and metaphysical hypnotherapy, lab certified through the University of Arizona's VERITAS Research Program, and an ordained spiritual minister.
Inside The World Of Tested Mediums
Perreta and Gerber compare notes on being research-tested mediums, a topic they realize they have never discussed on air. Gerber explains she was certified through the University of Arizona in 2007, before the Windbridge Institute existed, undergoing triple-blind readings given by phone with no feedback from anyone on the line, an experience she compares to doing radio into dead air. She recalls people around her reacting with alarm when she left her business to pursue mediumship, and now those same people ask her to read for friends. The two discuss why certification matters, since many self-styled mediums claim credentials without any real testing process, and they distinguish between an accurate reading and one that is both accurate and specific, using a joking example about hair color. Gerber calls herself a healthy skeptic who wanted proof her work was genuine connection rather than simple psychic guessing. She also plugs a demonstration this weekend with Reverend Kathleen Hoffman at the First Spiritualist Church of Onset, Massachusetts, tickets available through her website.
Sandy Connects With Her Mother
The phone lines open with Sandy from New York, who asks for a mini reading. Gerber connects with a maternal energy and describes a mother who was strong-minded and held on despite a difficult final illness, a homebody who preferred family closeness over travel and disliked flying. Sandy confirms her mother suffered end-stage Alzheimer's, developed pneumonia, and went septic, and that her father, still living when her mother passed, has since died as well and now stands beside her in spirit. Gerber's impressions about Sandy's mother running the household and playing matchmaker draw gentle pushback, though Sandy agrees her mother was deeply opinionated about her relationships. Gerber describes a woman who entrusted Sandy with family matters and who, from the other side, expresses regret for not always showing appreciation while alive. She mentions an unidentified J-name and a coming celebration, perhaps a wedding or engagement, that Sandy cannot yet place. The reading closes with Sandy's father adding, through Gerber, that her mother wants more conversation than he does.
Susan Hears From Her Son Michael
Susan from New York calls next, and Gerber first senses a mother's energy with a strong sense of humor before a younger male presence comes through more urgently. Susan confirms the connection is her son, whose sudden, accidental passing Gerber describes as unexpected rather than self-inflicted, a detail Susan validates. Gerber picks up specific details: Susan keeps his wallet, sits near his photograph, and feels his presence riding along in her car. She identifies the M initial as Michael and names his brother Matthew, prompting Susan's emotional confirmation. Gerber describes Michael as independent-minded, unafraid of peer pressure, fond of the outdoors, and connected to a dog, which Susan clarifies belonged to people he lived with for a time rather than to him directly. Gerber notes a fondness for T-shirts that Susan confirms she still keeps, and closes by naming a March 30 birthday, which Susan confirms exactly. Susan thanks Gerber, calling the reading very helpful as the segment ends.
Michelle's Father And Brother Come Through
Michelle from Massachusetts requests a reading, and Gerber describes an older father figure who kept health worries private to avoid burdening his family, a trait Michelle recognizes. Gerber senses Michelle is one of two children and describes a sharp, well-read father who followed current events and markets closely, which Michelle confirms. A second male presence follows, and Michelle reveals her brother is also in spirit, killed instantly in a car accident with no known prior health issue, a passing Michelle says she still questions. Gerber offers several impressions, including foreign coins found in the family house, a Winnebago motorhome her father drove on family trips, and an occasional after-dinner cigarette her brother sometimes smoked, all of which Michelle confirms to varying degrees. Names like Benny, Pat, and Bill draw no recognition. Gerber senses Michelle is weighed down by sorting sentimental belongings left behind, which Michelle confirms she is doing in her basement, and passes along her father's encouragement to ask for help rather than carry the task alone.
Ariel's Grandmother Sends Signs From Spirit
The final call comes from Ariel in New Mexico, and Gerber connects with a maternal-side grandmother rather than Ariel's still-living mother. She describes a beautiful, simple-living woman who painted, especially flowers, kept a garden, and wrote personal notes inside cards she exchanged with Ariel, all of which Ariel confirms. Gerber mentions a California connection to living relatives and a great-uncle nearing the end of his life, details Ariel verifies. An image of a towering tree leads Gerber to say the word Sequoia, and Ariel confirms she has visited Sequoia National Park. Gerber notes Ariel wears her grandmother's ring and describes a maiden name starting with M, both validated. She adds that Ariel has recently felt a touch on her head, which Ariel says she and her mother already recognize as a sign from her grandmother. Perreta then thanks Joanne Gerber, directs listeners to joannegerber.com and the Forever Family Foundation's medium list, and closes the broadcast reminding listeners that loved ones remain, as he puts it, a heartbeat away.

Negative Energy, Grief Counseling, and the Ethics of Delivering Messages with Dusten Lyvers
Medium Insights host Roman Karpishka catches up with newly credentialed Dr. Dusten Lyvers, a Forever Family Foundation certified medium, about negative energy, Ouija boards, grief therapy, and the ethics of delivering difficult messages from spirit.
A Reunion And A New Doctorate
Roman Karpishka opens Signs of Life's Medium Insights hour by welcoming back certified Forever Family Foundation medium Dusten Lyvers, joking about the pronunciation of his last name and tracing it to an old family surname, Levers, recorded in an ancestry book dating to 1669. Lyvers shares that since his last appearance, around Christmas, he has finished a seven-year doctoral journey and can now be called Dr. Dusten. Karpishka congratulates him, and the two banter about hair, aging, and Theresa Caputo's line that 'the higher the hair, the closer to God.' The mood is warm and unhurried, setting up an hour built around open conversation rather than readings; Karpishka repeats his standing rule that the show never delivers messages on air. He reminds listeners they can call in with questions, and the two settle into catching up before turning to the heavier subject of the approaching anniversary of September 11.
9/11 And The Weight Of Loss
With the anniversary of September 11 one day away, Karpishka asks whether the date feels different to a medium who works with grieving clients across the country. Lyvers says the heaviness is constant in his practice because most of his clients live in the United States and many have been touched by the day personally or know someone who was. He describes reading a few weeks earlier for a woman whose relative was near the city during the attacks, calling it a significant moment for her. Karpishka suggests the emotional weight builds like a bell curve around the date itself. The exchange is brief but sets a reflective tone, linking personal loss to the wider themes the show returns to throughout the hour: how spirit communication intersects with real grief, how mediums carry the emotional residue of their clients' histories, and how national tragedies leave traces that Lyvers says he can still sense years later in the people who come to him for readings.
Negative Energy, Ouija Boards, And Real Exorcists
Caller Tim from Pennsylvania, prompted by the coming anniversary, asks about evil and negative energy in the afterlife given conflicting claims from mediums, religions, and Ouija board warnings. Lyvers says he was the only medium in a Forever Family Foundation study for the Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Studies who described encountering negative manifestations of energy rather than only positive ones. He recalls investigating reportedly haunted locations with Michiana Paranormal Investigations and feeling watched and unwelcome, and argues most mediums simply block themselves off from that side. He advises that Ouija boards are tools requiring protection and intention rather than something to avoid outright. Talk turns to The Exorcist, with Karpishka calling it the scariest film ever made, and Lyvers describing real exorcists connected to Notre Dame University near his home in South Bend, Indiana, while stressing that genuine hauntings are rare compared with psychic imprints. Tim also recalls predicting, before the last election, that the outcome would go a certain way, a detail the hosts quickly steer away from politics.
Delivering Hard Messages With Care
Karpishka asks how a medium handles a painful message, and Lyvers explains that 'delivery' is a skill taught at the Arthur Findlay College in England, where softening a message does not mean withholding truth. He describes a recent reading in which a deceased baby validated a grieving father's small emotional progress without Lyvers passing along a harder note about the marriage. The conversation moves through gender identity on the other side, which Lyvers frames as energy rather than fixed biology, and briefly touches on continued intimacy in spirit form. He explains why sessions run a set length, comparing it to a therapist's boundaries and insisting spirits respect time just as the living do. Asked about sensory impressions, Lyvers says he experiences clairvoyance, clairsentience, and an unusually strong clairaudience that lets him hear accents and vocal qualities, joking that he can sometimes tell if a spirit sounds like Sylvia Browne, whose old videos, he notes, are now circulating again on social media years after her death.
A Haunted Apartment And A Search For Answers
Crystal calls from New Hampshire describing years of frightening activity in her apartment that began in September 2023, weeks after a sudden death in her life, including sightings of a nun on her balcony, a floating head, and photos that appeared to show movement. Lyvers tells her he doubts a portal was opened but says significant loss often becomes a doorway through which people suddenly begin sensing spirit, sometimes overnight, a pattern he says many mediums describe in their own histories. He recommends she keep protecting and cleansing her space, connect with a support community, and seek out a spiritually open therapist rather than face the experience alone, adding that her sensitivity may itself indicate mediumship ability. Karpishka points her toward Victor Zammit's online resources and Lyvers mentions Psychology Today's therapist directory, which lets users filter for practitioners open to spirituality. Crystal says the activity has eased since she stopped photographing it, and thanks the hosts before the call ends warmly.
Grief, Growth, And Building A Practice
Karpishka asks about connecting with people whose minds have been altered by Alzheimer's or dementia before death, and Lyvers explains that mediums sometimes sense such people are already partly crossed over, their souls beginning to detach before physical death occurs. He reflects on what sustains him in the work, describing the reward of watching grief soften into humor and peace, and contrasts it with his frustration at clients who book reading after reading without integrating any message into real change. Lyvers, trained as a licensed clinician, says he hopes to compile a national list of spiritually open therapists. He plugs his eight-week intuitive and mediumship development courses at Sacred Waters, his Linktree, and his website, Dustenlyvers.com, mentioning upcoming group readings in Ottawa and travel bookings roughly a week out. Karpishka thanks him for the hour, closes with Fran Ginsberg's line that loved ones are 'a heartbeat away,' and signs off until next month's Medium Insights.

Signs of Life - The Gathering With Bob Ginsberg, Marta Kane and Tom and Melissa Gould
Messages Beyond the Veil: Mediumship, Signs, Free Will, Past Lives, and the Nature of the Afterlife
Summary
Receiving Signs and Messages from Loved Ones
The episode opens with a discussion of how people may seek communication from loved ones who have died. The panel recommends approaching reputable mediums while remaining open to whoever may come through rather than insisting on one particular person. They also suggest recording readings because emotionally intense sessions can make details difficult to absorb in the moment. Meditation, quiet breathing, intention, and simple practices such as using a pendulum are discussed as ways to become more receptive. The speakers repeatedly emphasize what they describe as a personal “knowing” that accompanies a meaningful sign. Their advice is presented as their experience and belief about spirit communication rather than as an independently established conclusion.
Mediumship, Evidence, and the Limits of Summoning
Caller Tanya asks how to know whether a perceived sign is genuine and whether a psychic or medium can improve the chances of hearing from a particular person. The panel says a one-on-one session with a skilled medium may provide evidential details that the sitter recognizes. They also explain their belief that a medium cannot simply summon a particular deceased person on command because the communication is driven by the spirit and depends on what they describe as compatible frequency or vibration. The Forever Family Foundation’s medium-certification process and waiting lists are discussed, including the suggestion that callers may place themselves on several wait lists. Phone and Zoom readings are described as viable alternatives to in-person sessions. The discussion stresses patience, openness, and the possibility that someone other than the hoped-for loved one may communicate.
Group Readings, Meditation, and Altered States
The panel compares one-on-one readings with group mediumship sessions and discusses what listeners can take from each. Melissa encourages people in group readings to listen not only for messages directed to them but also for meaningful information received by others. Bob describes “piggybacking,” in which a detail given during another person’s reading may also seem relevant to someone else in the room. The speakers portray mediumship as a process in which many impressions may be present at once and must be sorted out by the medium. Meditation and quieting the mind return as a central theme, with Marta describing an intense experience of oneness that she found life-changing. Nature is presented as an especially helpful setting for her own sense of calm and connection.
Free Will, Thought, and the Nature of the Afterlife
A listener question about Bob’s book The Medium Explosion leads into an extended discussion of free will after death. The panel argues that free will in a nonphysical realm would operate differently because, in their view, greed, possessions, ego, and ordinary physical competition would no longer function in the same way. They discuss communication as mind-to-mind or telepathic and suggest that thoughts would be more transparent than they are in physical life. The speakers also explore the idea of differing levels of spiritual development and whether people with harmful or maladaptive attitudes would be less able to communicate from an elevated state. These ideas are framed as beliefs, interpretations, and personal theories expressed by the speakers. The conversation repeatedly acknowledges that human language may be inadequate to describe what they regard as a nonphysical realm.
How to Approach a Mediumship Reading and Why Past Lives May Be Forgotten
The panel gives practical advice about how much information a sitter should provide during a mediumship reading. They recommend answering simply, validating what is understood, and asking the medium to provide more detail rather than volunteering facts that could shape the reading. Bob suggests questions such as “What else can you tell me?” as a way to preserve the evidential value of the session. The discussion then turns to why people generally do not remember past lives. The speakers speculate that forgetting may be part of the design of physical life, allowing people to experience uncertainty, growth, learning, and the feeling of being separate. They compare life to an exam in which already knowing the answers would undermine the experience.
Love, Identity, Reality, and the Closing Peace Prayer
The final portion of the episode explores whether people fall in love after death, how multiple spouses might relate in the afterlife, and whether love becomes broader and less possessive. Marta shares a dream after her husband’s death in which she experienced an overwhelming sense of light, joy, care, and reassurance. The group also discusses houses, food, telepathic privacy, personal facades, and the possibility that familiar physical preferences could be mentally manifested in a nonphysical realm. Marta offers an “epiphany” that the physical world may be temporary while consciousness and the unseen world are more enduring, leading to playful speculation about whether ordinary life is itself a kind of dream. The episode closes with Bob’s global peace prayer calling for love, forgiveness, kindness, care for other people, and care for the Earth.

Summary
Technology, Timing, and a Mother’s Continuing Bond
The episode opens by inviting listeners to share direct personal experiences that they interpret as evidence of continuing connection with deceased loved ones. Caller Georgia describes the death of her son and says she has experienced many signs from him over the years. Her most striking story involves repeated device notifications telling her she was a few minutes away from what the phone identified as her son’s home, even though his old phone service and accounts were no longer active. She says the notifications appeared on multiple devices and recurred on the 22nd of successive months, which she connected with the date of his death. Georgia also describes an LED candle that appeared to illuminate while switched off and that seemed to activate around a time she associated with August 22. The co-hosts respond by emphasizing attentiveness and by framing Georgia’s experiences as meaningful to her without suggesting that grief itself disappears.
A Pomeranian, a Stairway, and a Shared Experience
Caller Teresa recounts losing her husband of 37 years to COVID and bringing his ashes home after the cremation process. The morning after the urn returned to the house, her daughter’s Pomeranian behaved in a way that Teresa and her daughter found extraordinary. The dog stood at the bottom of the staircase, barking, bouncing, and staring toward a landing while refusing to respond to either woman. Teresa explains that the dog had shared a playful daily routine with her husband before his death, including stealing his socks while he dressed. When Teresa’s daughter watched the dog and quietly suggested “Dad,” Teresa says they both understood the moment in the same way. She later explains that having her daughter witness the event kept her from dismissing it and opened her to asking for and noticing additional signs.
Parking Spots, Synchronicity, and Hope Within Grief
Teresa continues with a pattern of repeatedly finding unusually convenient front-row parking spaces while running errands. She initially laughed about the pattern and began telling family members about it. Later she watched a movie in which a deceased brother appeared to a living character and referred to being responsible for years of favorable parking spots, creating a synchronicity that stunned her because it mirrored her own recent experiences. Teresa stresses that these experiences do not remove the sadness of losing her husband. Instead, she says they provide hope and a sense that the relationship is not entirely gone, even though it is no longer physical. The co-hosts use her story to discuss how personal meaning can emerge through patterns that another observer might interpret differently.
Paying Attention Without Living in Constant Vigilance
Janet expands on a phrase she calls a “short window” for noticing experiences associated with loved ones. She does not mean people should spend every moment searching for signs, but rather that ordinary life can make subtle moments easy to miss. According to Janet, a person may be reading, meditating, watching television, or going about routine tasks when something suddenly captures attention. She encourages listeners to pause and notice what the experience means to them while also continuing to live their normal lives. Janet later describes several household objects that appeared to move unexpectedly while she was recovering from a foot and leg injury, including a massage ball, a water-bottle lid, and a massage gun. She interpreted the cluster of events as a practical reminder to hydrate, care for her body, and follow through with physical therapy.
Dreams, Belief, and the Limits People Accept
Betty shares a dream involving tiny pebbles that are first dismissed and then transformed, through an artist’s attention, into enormous sacred standing stones. She uses the dream to describe what she sees as a tension between a culturally conditioned tendency to dismiss unusual experiences and a more receptive, imaginative way of perceiving them. She later recounts a profound vision in Peru in which she experiences herself approaching a sacred mountain, only to realize that she does not need to enter it because, in the vision, she already embodies the mountain and its wisdom. A loving voice then tells her that saying she cannot create a world has itself created a world in which she cannot create. Betty interprets the experience as a lesson about how beliefs can shape the boundaries of what people allow themselves to experience. She connects that idea with a vision her husband had after their son’s death in which their son’s voice said that even the horizon was not the limit.
Recording Experiences and Remaining Open to Meaning
Near the end, Janet recalls falling forward on a staircase years earlier and suddenly finding herself seated safely back on the top step, an event she personally interpreted as intervention from spirit. She recommends that listeners write down and date meaningful experiences because patterns may become easier to recognize over time. Betty adds a story from a friend who believed she and her son had inexplicably avoided being struck by a truck that ran a stop sign. Throughout the episode, the co-hosts repeatedly emphasize that one person’s experience may not convince another person and that listeners should not assume everyone will interpret unusual events identically. They describe storytelling itself as valuable because hearing how others process grief, coincidence, synchronicity, and spiritual experience can broaden the range of possibilities people are willing to consider. The program closes with a prayer for all beings to be fulfilled, awakened, liberated, free, and at peace, followed by thanks to Georgia and Teresa for sharing their experiences.

Signs of Life's Medium & Messages with Host: #FFFCertifiedMedium Joe Perreta and Guest: FFFCertifiedMedium Nancy Marlowe
When Love Sends a Sign: Mediumship, Grief, Spirit Messages, and Unexpected Connections
Summary
A Conversation About Grief, Worth, and Inner Strength
Joe Perreta opens the program with Forever Family Foundation announcements, including an upcoming psychic and mediumship development convention and a winter grief transformation retreat. He introduces guest medium Nancy Marlowe and describes her background in tested and evidential mediumship. Their early conversation centers on Marlowe's book Let Your Soul Shine and the emotional struggles she says she encounters in people dealing with bereavement, broken relationships, loneliness, and diminished self-worth. Marlowe says the book is meant to remind readers that each individual is unique, loved, and capable of making a difference. She emphasizes kindness, spiritual connection, and the idea that a simple smile or compassionate act can create a positive ripple through other people's lives.
Kindness, Humor, and the Everyday Human Connection
The host and guest move into a lighter discussion about smiling at strangers, Southern accents, and the difference between social interactions in California and New York City. Perreta recalls how smiling at people after returning from California felt unusual on the streets of Manhattan, while Marlowe encourages him to keep doing it. Their banter reinforces the larger theme that kindness costs nothing and can have effects beyond the original interaction. Perreta also praises the value of a short book carrying a large message, while Marlowe reiterates that people should remember their strength, their worth, and their ability to influence others positively. Humor throughout this section keeps the discussion conversational while maintaining the focus on compassion and personal meaning.
Psychic Investigation and Claims of Information From the Deceased
Perreta asks Marlowe about her experiences working on cold cases and investigations because he participates in a paranormal program combining true crime and psychic investigation. Marlowe says she has worked on numerous cases and recounts her claimed involvement with the BTK case, the Natalee Holloway case, and a medical case involving a woman whose daughter died during a routine procedure. She describes psychic information as puzzle-solving and says deceased people sometimes come to her in dreams with instructions or details about what happened. Perreta relates this to his own interest in mysteries and his work on Voices from the Grave, including an investigation involving the Black Dahlia murder. Both speakers frame these experiences as psychic or mediumistic perceptions rather than conventional investigative proof.
Debbie's Reading and the Search for Reassurance
The first caller, Debbie from New York, requests a spirit connection. Marlowe says she senses a profound loss, ongoing grief, and a person who is trying to communicate that they remain close to Debbie. She describes possible signs in the backyard, kitchen, and around familiar sensory experiences, while also acknowledging that she is not receiving many specific identifying details. The reading then shifts to a deceased dog, with Marlowe describing the sound of toenails, closeness, warmth, and the possibility of feeling pressure beside Debbie at night. The central message offered to Debbie is that both the deceased person and the pet remain near her and are attempting to provide comfort.
Bonnie's Son, Electronic Signs, and Thelma's Family Connection
Bonnie from California asks primarily for mediumship and first receives a description of a maternal, talkative, loving woman she identifies as her nanny. She then asks about her deceased son, and Marlowe describes his death as sudden, tragic, and not something Bonnie could have prevented. Perreta joins the reading after saying he has been receiving an image involving batteries and electronics, which Bonnie connects to unusual behavior involving a photo on her cell phone and rapid battery drain. The hosts discuss electronics, lights, phones, butterflies, hummingbirds, and feathers as possible signs from spirits. The next caller, Thelma from Georgia, receives impressions involving a man who smoked, another person associated with reading and news, and someone who experienced severe breathing difficulty before death; Marlowe encourages her to speak to deceased loved ones and listen for responses.
Dawn's Career Concerns, a Beloved Dog, and the Closing Message
Dawn from Kentucky asks about a career loss that occurred several months earlier and says she is struggling to maintain faith that she can regain what she lost. Marlowe tells her that the future opportunity may not be in the same job or company but says she sees Dawn moving forward through persistence, creativity, experience, and help from her angels. Perreta then describes a deceased dog that loved being outdoors, had breathing or lung problems, and felt like a soulmate to Dawn; he later connects Dawn's deceased mother, Pat, with the dog. He also offers an impression about a group work project, delegation, and coworkers paying attention to Dawn's performance. The episode closes with Marlowe explaining how listeners can join her reading waitlist and Perreta reminding the audience that healing, continued bonds, and the possibility of life beyond physical death are the program's central themes.

Signs of Life - The Gathering With Bob Ginsberg, Marta Kane and Tom and Melissa Gould
Signs From Beyond: Mediumship, Grief, Soul Connections, and the Questions We Carry
Summary
Religion, Mysticism, and Mediumship
The discussion opens with a listener asking how religious mediums reconcile scriptural prohibitions against communication with the deceased. The panel describes its view that mysticism and belief in continuing consciousness have existed within major religious traditions, while organized religious dogma can create fear or resistance around mediumship. Melissa recounts a painful hospice experience in which a nurse reacted strongly to her and Tom’s belief that his mother would reunite with loved ones after death. Marta describes religious friends who are open to life after death and recalls a mystic rabbi who welcomed conversations about spiritual connection. The panel repeatedly distinguishes personal belief and mystical experience from institutional rules, while acknowledging that people raised with prohibitions may feel genuine apprehension.
Learning to Communicate and Quiet the Mind
Caller Pam asks how people might communicate with deceased loved ones for themselves. The panel recommends speaking to loved ones directly, using their names, and developing a regular practice of quieting the mind rather than trying to force an experience. Melissa describes a month-long meditation practice that gradually created a stronger internal sense of connection. Bob discusses mindfulness, positive emotion, nature, gratitude, music, and other practices the panel associates with raising one’s vibration, while Tom emphasizes that calmness rather than emotional intensity is the desired state. Marta shares a guided visualization she used even during oral surgery, illustrating how focused imagery and breathing can move attention into a deeply relaxed mental space.
Evidential Readings and Continuing Bonds
The panel reflects on a recent retreat and the visible emotional impact of strong medium readings. They discuss why some people may find a reading from a qualified medium more convincing than a private experience, because specific information delivered by another person can feel less easily dismissed as imagination. The speakers recommend seeking mediums who provide evidential details and note that readings can be conducted remotely by phone or video. In response to a question about a recently deceased friend, the panel expresses its belief that loved ones remain aware of events, emotions, memorials, and family milestones. The conversation also includes discussion of orbs, cemeteries, celebrations, and the idea that continuing bonds may be felt most strongly when the living remain engaged with life.
Traumatic Death, Children, and Soul Contracts
A listener’s questions about the deaths of three young children lead into the episode’s most difficult discussion. The panel repeatedly acknowledges that it cannot know exactly what happens after traumatic death, but describes its belief that people crossing over are greeted, helped, and understood regardless of physical age. Several panelists discuss the concept of soul contracts—the idea that a soul may agree before birth to broad aspects of a physical lifetime, including a short life or difficult circumstances. Tom explicitly notes that he has not personally seen enough evidence to present that idea as certain, even though it has been widely discussed within spiritual circles. The panel also considers whether children who died very young could communicate through a medium and whether, from a spiritual perspective, they might possess awareness beyond their physical age.
Signs, Pets, Past Lives, and Personal Meaning
The conversation turns to worries about missing signs from deceased loved ones. Tom tells a humorous story about mowing over a feather he had interpreted as a sign, only to encounter another feather moments later, and the panel emphasizes that the recognition of a sign may matter more than preserving the physical object. They discuss recording signs in a journal, noticing subtle patterns, and accepting that signs may become less frequent as grief changes and life moves forward. The panel extends the same idea of continuing connection to beloved pets, describing love as the basis of an enduring bond. The discussion then moves to past lives, déjà vu, and regression, with Marta recounting a past-life regression that helped her understand and end a recurring dream she had experienced for years.
Skepticism, Legitimate Mediums, and Hope
In the final portion, the panel considers what happens when a medium cannot connect, recommending honesty, rescheduling, or refunding the sitter rather than forcing a reading. They describe skepticism as healthy when it is paired with openness to specific evidence, and they recount examples of skeptical people changing their views after receiving or witnessing detailed readings. Tom shares how a reading involving his mother affected his highly skeptical brother and recalls how his mother’s growing belief in life after death helped her approach her own death with hope rather than fear. The panel discusses thought communication in spirit and then offers practical warning signs for evaluating a medium, including leading questions, information fishing, repetition, and a lack of specific evidence. The episode closes with a global peace prayer centered on love, forgiveness, kindness, humanity, and care for the Earth, followed by the message that loved ones are “only a heartbeat away.”

Summary
Creating a Safe Space for Personal Experience
The co-hosts open the program by defining it as a safe place for people to discuss direct experiences that they associate with deceased loved ones, survival of consciousness, dreams, signs, and other events that mainstream culture may dismiss. Janet emphasizes that each caller's account is personal and that sharing it can help listeners recognize patterns in their own lives. She encourages people to pay attention to meaningful timing and to signs such as coins, birds, lights, balloons, dreams, or other individually recognizable symbols. The speakers repeatedly distinguish these direct experiences from formal mediumship while acknowledging that mediums can sometimes help grieving people begin recognizing an ongoing connection. The program's central invitation is to remain receptive without insisting that every person's experience take the same form.
Sacred Space, Intention, and Frequency
Dr. Betty discusses Celtic traditions involving wells, waterfalls, caves, and other places believed to support communication with the invisible world. The co-hosts extend that idea to sacred locations, long-used meditation sites, Forever Family Foundation gatherings, and even ordinary places made sacred through intention and attention. They describe grief and crisis as conditions that may intensify focus and open people to experiences they previously dismissed. The foundation is presented as a community where people arrive prepared to hear, share, and consider accounts of continuing connection. Although the speakers frame these ideas through spiritual interpretations, they preserve the importance of giving experiences time and space rather than attempting to control them.
Balancing Analysis With Lived Knowing
Dr. Betty recounts how the death of her son opened a door to dreams and visionary experiences, while her analytical mind continued to demand conventional proof. She describes gradually developing a cooperative relationship between the left and right brain, allowing herself to experience an event before analyzing it afterward. Janet explains that she began documenting experiences with dates and times so she could identify recurring patterns instead of dismissing each event in isolation. The hosts discuss the value of rational validation while also asserting that some experiences carry an immediate quality of knowing for the person involved. Their conversation suggests that reflection, pattern recognition, and careful documentation can help people integrate experiences without forcing them into a single explanatory model.
Love, Grief, and Continuing Bonds
Caller Al shares channeled messages about meditation, love, and the removal of demands or restrictions from love, although portions of the wording are unclear in the automated transcript. His offer to help a grieving caller leads to a broader discussion about whether loved ones must find one another after death. The co-hosts express their belief that love itself maintains connection and that deceased loved ones are already aware of the living person's emotional state. Janet recounts feeling a room fill with people who seemed to be gathering for someone approaching death, while Dr. Betty describes a visionary encounter with grieving mothers. The conversation presents grief as transformative, capable of opening new levels of compassion, especially for parents whose losses are complicated by judgment, isolation, or the circumstances of a child's life.
Signs, Shared Perceptions, and Personal Validation
Kimberly reads accounts involving Amanda and her parents, including an angel reportedly seen by a nurse, lights moving through a room after Amanda's death, and a distinctive woodsy-citrus scent connected with a childhood scratch-and-sniff book. The same fragrance was later perceived by several family members during a Christmas trip, making it a shared experience in their interpretation. Dr. Betty describes a group visionary experience at a sacred mountain near Lake Titicaca, where she and a friend reported seeing matching figures, a dog, and a being of light. The hosts emphasize that these experiences may arrive through sight, sound, smell, dreams, bodily feeling, synchronicity, or unexpected information. They encourage listeners to acknowledge meaningful experiences and remain attentive to what may follow.
Evidence, Transformation, and the Invitation to Share
A final account concerns Linda, who reported meeting her deceased fiance Wayne during a dreamlike medical crisis and receiving information that led to a correction concerning the circumstances of his death. The co-hosts discuss this as an example of information that appeared to fall outside Linda's prior knowledge and later received external confirmation. They describe such validation as reassuring to the analytical mind while also focusing on the emotional transformation Linda reported afterward, including greater peace about death and a changed approach to life and motherhood. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to call future programs because no experience is considered too small to share. Janet ends with a prayer for all beings to be fulfilled, awakened, liberated, free, and at peace throughout the universe.

vendredi 17 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:00:37
Signs of Life's Medium & Messages with Host: #FFFCertifiedMedium Joe Perreta and Guest: FFFCertifiedMedium Travis Holp
Messages Across the Veil: Healing, Humor, and Evidential Connections
Summary
A Medium's Unexpected Calling
Host Joe Perreta welcomes certified medium Travis Holp for his first appearance on the program and explores the unconventional path that led him to professional mediumship. Holp explains that intuitive and spiritual experiences had been present throughout his life, although he did not initially recognize them as communication from spirit. After a 17-year career in the beauty industry, sobriety during the pandemic, and a major professional transition, he began offering readings online and gradually embraced mediumship as his life's work. He describes the practice as a way to help people find peace, closure, and a renewed connection with a higher power.
Learning Through Practice and Self-Knowledge
Holp discusses studying through virtual classes, mentors, and the traditions of Spiritualism while emphasizing that consistent practice is the most important part of development. He explains that learning to distinguish personal anxiety from energetic impressions helped him understand how his body processes intuitive information. Perreta and Holp agree that therapy, self-awareness, and understanding one's own emotional patterns are essential for anyone doing psychic or mediumistic work. They also acknowledge that the work can be emotionally intense and requires deliberate mental-health practices.
The Emotional Weight Behind the Work
Holp recounts an experience at a Pride event in Tacoma where two separate encounters reminded him of the emotional responsibility attached to his public work. One person asked him to record encouragement for a terminally ill friend, while another thanked him for a previous reading involving departed family members. Although he deeply values these connections, the emotional impact left him needing a private moment to cry. The conversation underscores that mediumship can be both deeply rewarding and personally demanding.
Live Connections with Callers
The program then moves into a series of live mini-readings with callers from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Georgia, and Texas. Holp offers impressions involving departed parents, children, friends, family health concerns, meaningful dates, jewelry, flowers, hearts, hummingbirds, and other personal symbols. Some details are immediately recognized, while others require reflection or are only partially understood during the call. The full range of responses is preserved, including moments when a caller cannot initially identify a name, date, or relationship.
Messages of Reassurance and Continuing Bonds
Across the calls, the central themes are reassurance, gratitude, and continuing emotional bonds with departed loved ones. Dawn receives messages connected to her mother and a lively friend; Angela hears reassurance about caring for her father's siblings; Kim is told that her daughter's soul is at peace; and Kathy receives anniversary acknowledgments from her parents. Mary's reading centers on her close relationship with her father, including his special chair and distinctive signature, while Griselda receives a message intended in part for her mother about her father's complicated passing and an upcoming birthday remembrance.
Healing, Humor, and Hope
The episode balances grief-centered conversations with humor, warmth, and candid discussion about the fallibility of interpretation. Holp and Perreta repeatedly explain that a medium may misunderstand a name or symbol even when the underlying impression has meaning, and they allow callers space to recognize details later. The program closes with information about Holp's events, book, and website, as well as the Forever Family Foundation's educational programming. Perreta ends by encouraging listeners to seek healing and remember their enduring connection with loved ones who have died.
