Bubba Herrick is a former Division I baseball player who flatlined during a routine elbow surgery in 2019. In his near-death experience, he rose above the operating room and entered a realm that felt like home—radiant with love and beauty. He underwent a life review, seeing his choices through his own eyes and through those he’d affected, then met his late stepfather, who charged him to live so fully that next time he’d be ready to die. After losing baseball, battling addiction, and rebuilding from homelessness, Bubba rediscovered creativity and flow. Today he’s a mental performance coach, speaker, and author of Becoming Ready to Die: From Athlete to Afterlife – The Fight for My Soul and How to Reclaim Yours. See book link below.

In this wonderful episode #236 with Bubba Herrick you’ll find:
• What a life review feels like (and why timelessness = flow)
• The incredible “diamond” realm, beauty, unconditional love, and oneness
• Compassion learned by seeing a hard memory through his father’s eyes
• Purpose that’s simpler (and braver) than we think: be fully, authentically you

This was one of the best episodes yet! I loved Bubba's description of his purpose in life. And beyond the words spoken and the wisdom shared, the authenticity and vulnerability from both of you was absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Thank you Bubba and Heather!
Beautiful. Thank you. ❤
All people believe in God.
The problem is in defining God
Define real?
Anything that has been experienced, physical, mentally, spiritually, is all real.
The akashic record (consciousness) doesn’t know the difference.
The known is real, the unknown is not real.
Something only becomes known(real) when it is experienced(observed) until then it is only an unknown potential.
The purpose for existing is to learn all that is learnable. Know all that is knowable.
This is how omniscient consciousness (god) is/was created.
The love that people feel during an NDE, could better be described as the feeling of omniscience.
Remember the best day of your life and how that makes you feel right now.
This feeling is a product of your experiences(actions) that you produced that day.
Even remember one of the worst days of your life and you will find joy.
example. 3 years ago I was going through a bout of having to pass kidney stones. Unimaginable pain.
But now when I think back to those days, I almost want to go back, the reason why is because my dad was still with us then. He passed last year. Would I trade a few days of pain to have my father back, YES!
Thankfully I was able to say I love you before his passing.
Heather, watch the sitcom “eight simple rules”
They wrote the death of John Ritter into the series.
Briget, had a fight with her father the day before he died. And she was struggling with this feud as the last event with her father.
the writers and actors did a fantastic job in portraying this event.
It was done over several episodes.
Its a wicked generation who seek a sign. Kjv heb 1 visions end in church age
What was that conference called the attendant? The one you hope to see each other at?
I agree with others who find this young man compelling. He exudes something I enjoy. I like the interviewer also.
What a beautiful young man, with a humble and gentle presence and way of sharing his wisdom. Thank you Heather for all you do to share these stories with us!
Fantastic conversation thank you!!
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but I'lll ask and see. If a serial killer had a near death experience, what would that be like? Would he/she meet Jesus/God?
Bubba is so inspiring! I’m grateful he chose to come back and relay his story for us all to hear. Another wonderful guest!
This resonated with me, thank you!
Excellent commentary and analysis from Heather!! Very true and very nice ❤Jesus gives us so many chances and opportunities to search for him, follow him and love him so dearly. I’m 65 and so tired of this place, and the hard lessons, the pain and suffering, mean self-serving people who claim to love you, but will just as soon destroy you, and rip your heart and soul from you, without a second thought.
I’m on-line, watching the clock tick away the minutes and hours. I wait knowing that any day now I will be summoned by our Lord. He will say Diane it is your time now. It is finished! 😭 I’m 65 and single. Why in the world would ANYONE want to spend any more time then they have to in this hellish place? The longer, I am here the greater the chances of suffering, the loss of those I love. I truly beg to go first as that type of loss has to be horrifying and devastating.
Made it. Loved it!
Great great interview, thank you.
Great episode!

Such a lovely man. May God bless you❤
You give me hope to make changes in my own life.
Bubba exudes joy! Such a wonderful story! Thank you!
Thank you Bubba for sharing your experience with us. God Bless both of you!🙏❤️
As I am listening to this, I got a jolt of energy.. think it's Archangel Michael.. saying something like Heather is of a higher dimensional consciousness who chose this incarnation to remind people that souls survive bodily demise.. Regardless, thanks for sharing all the videos, Heather.❤
NDEs cause serious delusions. Ok.
Made it to the end. He is sincere. I appreciated hearing him
This is the most authentic near-death experience that I think I've ever heard.
