Welcome to Our Paranormal Afterlife.

This is an Our Paranormal Afterlife remastered episode, and I'm your host Simon Bown.

I've been listening to some of the earliest episodes

and I notice they contain really amazing information

with updated and remastered audio

to enhance the listening experience.

artist, geologist, data analyst and science technical writer, but now she is writing and teaching

about her experience of the divine

and what happens when we die.

I was working as a scientist and a science writer in a small software company near Boulder, Colorado.

I wasn't really super happy with what was transpiring in my life, but I wasn't really sure

why.

I was kind of going back and forth between being an atheist and an agnostic spiritually.
