Their Stroy Matters with Sara Troy and her guests Dr. Penny Sartori and Kelly Walsh, on air from December 19th

Dr Penny Sartori (Near-Death Experience expert and academic), and NDE experiencer Kelly Walsh share in this interview about their unique double perspectives on NDEs in their groundbreaking new book: The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences: How the Messages of NDEs Positively Impact the World.
Penny and Kelly have brought together powerful stories from people from around the world, and across a vast range of backgrounds, all of whom have had their lives transformed for the better in some way after their NDEs, including Kelly herself. After years of trauma, Kelly tried to take her own life in 2009. She then had a near-death experience in which she felt divine love and connection, and heard the words ‘like-minded souls will collaborate to change the world’. This showed her how valuable her life is and how much she can do to benefit the world. Since then, she has been devoted to positivity and to helping children in need, most notably through her charity she founded (where all profits from the book will be donated).
This book brings together the best elements of questions about consciousness, life after death, and the cracks in our health and mental health care systems, alongside the personal, powerful, and ultimately positive real-life stories of ordinary people and their extraordinary experiences.
As a society, we are all taught to fear death, yet for those who have touched it, and returned to tell the tale, the message they’ve brought back is drastically different. Unconditional love, divine understanding, and true universal connection await us on the other side. We can all benefit from this message, without nearly having to die first; all we have to do is listen to what those who have had an NDE are trying to convey.
NDEs are often transformative, not only on an individual level, but on a collective level too. In The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences, NDE expert Dr. Penny Sartori and near death experiencer Kelly Walsh brings together a selection of inspiring stories from ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences. These have changed the course of their lives, empowered them to be their true selves, and show each and every one of them the power of love and acceptance.
The contributors range in their ages, backgrounds, beliefs, creeds, and careers, yet what ties them together is the remarkable metamorphoses in their lives after their NDEs. Some struggled to integrate back into regular life, and repressed their NDEs, whereas others felt so much love and joy during their NDEs that they actively wanted to experience another. Some had their marriages dissolve as their partners couldn’t understand what they had been through, and others found their soulmates having been empowered to finally believe that they deserve love. From
setting up support groups for other NDEers, to founding charities and programmes across the world, the unconditional love and interconnectedness experienced by all these people has led to them putting more positivity into the world.
Drawing extensively on her career as an intensive care nurse and on the results of her doctoral research into NDEs, Dr. Sartori examines the NDEs from an academic perspective, whilst Kelly Walsh draws on the knowledge of her own NDE from a spiritual perspective, offering a balanced viewpoint on this phenomenon. With their combined wisdom we learn about NDEs, and from them. With forewords by Dr. Mick Collins and Neale Donald Walsch, and contributions from esteemed medical professionals such as Dr. Bernie Siegel, MD, this book offers expert insight and credibility, alongside the heart-warming accounts by people from all walks of life who experienced life transformations after their NDEs.
The book describes how NDEs have helped some contributors overcome suicidal feelings, has led another to come to terms with their transgender identity, and it reveals the inadequacy of our health system that can wrongly perceive NDEs as mental health problems. While recent years have seen a dramatic change of attitude towards NDEs, they are still widely misunderstood, understudied, and not adequately acknowledged. This is a huge detriment, to those
who don’t receive proper support, and to the wider world, who are missing out on their beautiful messages of peace, love, and respect; Everyone is interconnected, and nobody has to fear death.
This book is crucial in transforming the way we perceive NDEs, consciousness, life after death, palliative care, a more compassionate healthcare system, and our universal human connection. It inspires people of all cultures and faiths to see how the love experienced during an NDE has the capacity to heal minds, bodies, and souls.

Kelly Walsh is the founder of the Positivity Power
Movement and Love Care Share charitable foundation.
Her life’s work has been inspired by an NDE she had in 2009 following a suicide attempt, and subsequent spiritual experiences she has had since. The words she shouted out following her experience- ‘like-minded souls would collaborate to change the world’- have been the driving force for the creation of this book and the work she now does. Her experience also inspired her to create a children’s character, Positivity Princess from Planet Positavia, who is on a mission to create a
more loving, caring, sharing world. The royalties from The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences will go towards supporting projects aimed at making a positive difference in children’s lives through the work of their charitable foundation.

I believe that we each want to better understand ourselves; make ourselves known to the people who matter to us most; deepen our relationships, and heal what may be broken between us.
Clifton West has led an extraordinary life disguised as an ordinary man. Life has afforded him a wonderful childhood, an exciting world-class track career that put him on the path to the Olympics, a successful and thriving business and the opportunity to travel throughout the world. One would think that all of this success would change a person, perhaps cause them to feel that they are somehow “better” than others. For Clifton West that could not be further from the truth.
In his book “Of Life and Time” Clifton West chronicles his life and what was going on in the world during these times. A child of the late fifties, a teenager of the 60’s and a young adult of the 70’s, Clifton’s book is rich with memories of those times and the lessons learned while growing up. He shares with how he came to learn that a life rich in love and peace is much more precious than attaining worldly success. Clifton’s book shares the soul-substance of an extraordinary life lived by an ordinary person. It attempts to provide a personal yet inclusive testimony of a spiritual journey that has brought him to discover his true life’s purpose. Clifton describes how this living and breathing phenomenon called ‘life’ moving within this ever-advancing entity called ‘time’ provides for us all a profound introduction to our life’s purpose.
Olympic Trials. After graduating from UC Berkeley, he embarked on a business career, first at IBM and then, in 1976, he became one of the first black owners of a computer software firm. He later restarted his running career, this time as a sprinter – almost unheard of in track, a miler turned 100- and 200-meter specialist – and made the 1977 U.S. 4×400-meter relay team that competed on the world track circuit. He also coached track at Cal, MIT and, for a spell, Sacramento’s Christian Brothers High School. The author is Clifton L. West III, the firstborn of Clifton L. West, Jr. and Irene Bias West. He is the older brother to Dr Cornel R. West, Cynthia R. West-McDaniel, and Cheryl L. West. He is the father of two children (Erika Lynn and Cornel Jamine), stepfather to one child (Brianna Denise), grandfather to four children (Deja Marie, Roni Rachel, Cadence and Corrin), and great-grandfather to two children (Kaden Kameron) and the husband to Leticia Leonor Mendez.
