About this episode
Can an NDE actually last for 2 years? How about other spiritual experiences? In this moving episode of Round Trip Death , host Eric Bennett welcomes Rebecca Kastl , a speech-language pathologist from Colorado, who shares her extraordinary two-year-long spiritually transformative experience (STE). Unlike typical near-death experiences (NDEs), Rebecca’s journey began not with physical death but with deep emotional trauma and an earnest desire for complete healing. Her story begins with a traumatic event at age 13, which set her on a lifelong path toward spiritual wholeness. At 26, while journaling during graduate school, she spontaneously dedicated her life to God — an act that opened a profound, two-year encounter with divine light, angelic beings, psychic dreams, and a heightened sense of interconnectedness. This led to her NDE/STE experience of transformation. Throughout the episode, Rebecca reflects on: The night a radiant light appeared in her room, filling her with love and peace while revealing hidden parts of herself. How she began to perceive ethereal light in everyone she met, symbolizing the divine essence in all beings. Her experiences with angels and spontaneous life review moments, where she felt how her words and actions affected others. The challenge of integrating these experiences and the deep depression that followed once the light faded. Now, years later, Rebecca shares how this journey reshaped her worldview — inspiring her to work with children, act with compassion, and recognize the sacred light within all people. In closing, Rebecca offers listeners a heartfelt message of hope: even amid suffering, every prayer is heard, and everyone is deeply loved and guided by a higher light.
