Fate Check: Episode Zero

Carolyn Clapper Answers Afterlife FAQs (Part 2, E5)

The other side, #heaven, the next world, "upstairs," the afterlife, or the afterparty — what is it really like? Carolyn has been reading for individual clients (and groups) since 2011, and one of the reasons we started Fate Check Podcast is because a lot of the cool, interesting details she sees occur in a private reading. In part 2, we get into whether we see all of our pets again, time and the afterlife, and get into #debunkingmyths that keep people up at night, like whether they have to leave Earth for good after #40days. Did we miss anything? Please drop a comment and let us know what topics you're interested in for future episodes — and we'd love if you'd like, subscribe, or give us feedback. Thank you so, so much for tuning in. — CC & KLT 00:00 Carolyn Clapper answers afterlife FAQs (intro and recap) 01:32 Do animals and our pets go to heaven?

Carolyn Clapper Answers Frequently Asked Questions About the Afterlife (Part 1): What do they do all day? Are there houses in heaven? What's the best way to contact them?

As a #psychic medium, Carolyn Clapper routinely sees aspects of the #afterlife that we don't ... and in this episode, Kim asks her some of the most commonly asked (and often incorrectly answered) questions about the other side — or the "next world," as she calls it. From what they do all day to whether they have houses and are capable of feeling "earthly" emotions like romantic love and anger, this is our first batch of afterlife FAQs. We only got to half of our list, and we imagine you might have questions about the answers. What did we miss?
