LiL: 17 | Near Death Experience w/ Tim Cherry

In this episode, Tim Cherry shares his near-death experience and how this occurance impacted him. We talk about the events leading up to his NDE, what happened during it, and everything he learned afterward as a result. NDEs have always been a reminder for me that life exists beyond the one we're experiencing and how to stay connected to a higher power. I hope this helps you on your spiritual, self-compassion journey, as well. Interested in a great pickleball podcast?
