In Episode 47 of LIVE! With Dr. Andre Jerry, Dr. Jerry sits down with author and near-death experiencer L.J. Martin to explore the extraordinary story behind his memoir, The Second Time Around: A Memoir of a Life, a Death and a Second Chance.

After years of pushing through declining health and ignoring his body's warnings, Martin experienced a medical crisis that changed the course of his life. He shares what he remembers from his near-death experience, what he believes he encountered beyond the physical world, and why he now views his journey as two distinct chapters: his first life before the experience and the second life that followed.

Their candid conversation explores mortality, spirituality, love, purpose, meditation, and how coming face-to-face with death transformed the way Martin approaches being alive.

But this episode isn't only about what may happen when we die. It's also for anyone working themselves into the ground, ignoring their health, or refusing to listen when their body is telling them to slow down.

You shouldn't have to nearly lose your life before deciding to truly live it.

After a brief hiatus, Dr. Andre Jerry returns with a powerful and deeply personal episode that blends grief, growth, and global movement.

In this episode, Dr. Andre opens up about the recent loss of a beloved family member, the importance of showing up for loved ones during difficult times, and the emotional reflections that followed. But from that place of reflection came a bold decision—one that would take him halfway across the world.

Now broadcasting from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Dr. Andre shares the real story behind his relocation to Southeast Asia. From honoring his father’s legacy as a Vietnam War veteran to stepping into a new chapter as a global educator, this episode unpacks the “why” behind the move—and the deeper purpose driving it.

Listeners will get a firsthand look at life in Vietnam, including:

• First impressions of the culture, people, and energy of Ho Chi Minh City
• The cost of living and lifestyle advantages
• Vietnam’s rapid growth as an emerging economy
• The country’s strong emphasis on education and global competitiveness
• Insights into the ESL landscape and why English proficiency is a national priority
• A surprisingly exceptional healthcare experience abroad

This episode is more than a travel update—it’s a reflection on identity, purpose, and what it really means to evolve.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to start over, explore the world, or redefine success on your own terms… this conversation is for you.

At a certain point in life, you stop forcing yourself to be “on” for everyone else—and start choosing peace.

In Episode 42 of LIVE! With Dr. Andre Jerry, Dr. Jerry explores boundaries, introversion, social fatigue, and the freedom that comes with being done explaining yourself. Through personal reflection and real-life experiences, this episode unpacks the difference between being antisocial and being self-aware.

The conversation touches on friendships, workplace dynamics, grief, sobriety, mental health, and why unlearning people-pleasing is often a necessary part of growth. This episode is for anyone who feels drained by performance, pressured by expectations, or ready to honor their energy without guilt.

You’re not broken. You’re not rude. You’re evolving.
