Summary
Tammy Lee Anderson shares how three profound near-death experiences opened her to unconditional love, spiritual awakening, and a life of service as a psychotherapist, healer, and spiritual medium. In this deep conversation, she describes what near-death really felt like, how it dissolved the fear of death, and how love and awakening can be embodied in daily life through grief, trauma, and ordinary relationships.
We explore Tammy’s early near-death experiences in infancy, her memories of being “in between” worlds, and how these experiences invited her into a lifelong journey of surrender into love. She explains why we are not victims of our reality but co‑creators of it, and how even our deepest challenges can expand compassion, forgiveness, and embodied love.
Tammy also talks about her unusual background as an Olympic‑level kayaker, 5th degree black belt Aikido teacher, former monastic, and long‑time psychotherapist. She shares powerful stories of working with grief, homelessness, abuse, and trauma, and how her mediumship and healing work now help people reconnect with loved ones in spirit, release fear, and rediscover meaning.
If you’re curious about near‑death experiences, life after death, spiritual mediumship, or how to live awake in a dense and sometimes painful world, this conversation offers both inspiration and very grounded wisdom.

| 0:00.0 | We're not victims of our realities. We're the creator of it. At least that's how I approach my life. I'm not a victim of my reality. I'm a creator of it. I wouldn't change one thing in my life as far as the difficult things or the challenging things because they've allowed me to expand my love. Welcome to Buddha at the Gas Pump. |

| 1:25.8 | Tammy Lee is one of these people. I said this to the guy I interviewed two weeks ago, but one of these people who seems to have packed about six lifetimes into one.
