Nicole Kerr podcast guest on Taboo Talks with Krystal, sharing her near-death experience and lessons on healing and purpose

From Death to Life: What a Near-Death Experience Can Teach Us About Truly Living

August 22, 20252 min read

What if you were forced to face the end of your life—only to wake up and realize you were being handed a second chance?

That’s exactly what happened to Nicole Kerr.

Nicole is an award-winning health expert, registered dietitian, and spiritual advocate who has lived through something most of us only read about: a near-death experience (NDE). But her story isn’t just about survival. It’s about awakening, healing, and reclaiming purpose in a world that often tries to pull us away from our deepest truths.

On this week’s episode of Taboo Talks with Krystal, Nicole opens up about the accident that changed everything—and the powerful lessons she brought back with her.

Why Her Story Matters to You

Most of us won’t flatline and come back. But here’s the thing: you don’t need to. The wisdom Nicole shares isn’t reserved for NDE survivors—it’s for anyone who has ever felt stuck in survival mode, questioned their purpose, or struggled with the weight of other people’s expectations.

Nicole talks about:

  • Redefining God and spirituality when old beliefs no longer serve you.

  • Breaking free from people-pleasing and learning the power of boundaries.

  • Healing the body and spirit together instead of trying to fix one while ignoring the other.

  • The lessons most near-death experiencers return with—insights meant to wake us up before crisis forces us to.

Her story reminds us that trauma doesn’t have to be the end—it can be the beginning of a deeper, more authentic life.

A Mirror for Our Own Lives

Listening to Nicole, you can’t help but reflect:

  • What beliefs am I still carrying that are holding me back?

  • Where am I living for others instead of for myself?

  • What would change if I gave myself permission to stop surviving—and start living?

These are uncomfortable questions. Taboo questions. But they’re the ones that actually move us forward.

And that’s why I had to bring Nicole onto the podcast. Because sometimes, it takes hearing someone else’s resurrection story to realize you’re allowed to begin again, too.

Start Your Own Awakening

Nicole is also offering a gift to help you start your own journey: the first chapter of her book, You Are Deathless. It’s a beautiful invitation into seeing life—and yourself—through a more expansive lens.
