    020: What Happens When We Die? The Evidence Is Hard to Ignore | Johnny Burke
    Jun 3 2026
    What really happens when we die? And is there actual evidence for life after death, or is it just wishful thinking?In this episode of Live Your Jam, Ellen McGinnis sits down with Johnny Burke, host of the Closer to Venus podcast, who has spent six years and close to 250 episodes interviewing the people who would know. Near-death experiencers. Evidential mediums. Hospice workers who sit with the dying. Past life researchers.What he keeps finding points to one quiet, consistent answer. We are eternal souls, and consciousness does not end when the body does.This isn't a conversation about belief. It's about patterns. The same accounts, told by strangers across cultures, who describe the same light, the same love, the same overwhelming sense of coming home.Johnny and Ellen explore the evidence behind near-death experiences, what hospice mediums witness in a person's final days, the idea that we choose our lives before we arrive, and why so many accounts suggest consciousness lives outside the brain. They also go to the stranger edges. Soul contracts. Life between lives. Galactic past lives. And what it might mean to raise your vibration in a world that only trusts what it can measure.If you have ever sensed there is more, but wanted something to stand on besides faith, this conversation will give you a place to start.You will learn: Why nearly every guest, across every tradition, agrees we are eternal soulsWhat the evidence for near-death experiences actually showsWhat hospice mediums witness in a person's final days, and what the "welcoming party" meansWhy so many accounts suggest consciousness is not produced by the brainThe idea of soul contracts, and whether we choose our lives before we are bornWhat "life between lives" is, and why it keeps surfacing under hypnosisHow to tell an evidential medium from the restWhat past life and galactic memories hint about who we used to beSimple daily ways to raise your vibrationHow to hold all of this with a curious, open, slightly skeptical mind👉 Watch the full conversation and subscribe for more stories about intuition, purpose, and living your jam.We talk about:00:00 Why this conversation matters02:00 Meet Johnny Burke and the Closer to Venus podcast03:00 What "Closer to Venus" really means05:00 The three questions that started it all07:00 Near-death experiences as the gateway09:00 The one thing nearly every guest agrees on13:00 The hardest truth: soul contracts and exit points16:00 Evidential mediums and the research behind them19:00 Hospice mediums and the welcoming party23:00 Life between lives and the in-between space26:00 Soul groups and the people we keep meeting28:00 Life as a theater group30:00 What near-death experiences teach us about love and fear33:00 Intuition and raising your vibration35:00 ETs, disclosure, and consciousness41:00 Why death might be easier than birth43:00 Why consciousness may not live in the brain48:00 Friendly and not-so-friendly ETs51:00 Spirit guides with a sense of humor53:00 A brother, a dream, and a beer54:00 The big question Johnny wants to solve nextConnect with Johnny: Website: https://closertovenus.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclosertovenuspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/closertovenuspodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@closertovenuspodcastConnect with Ellen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liveyourjam LinkedIn: https://www.instagram.com/liveyourjam Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveyourjam YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnj7_LS2kaxfyPsAd1Hne8g Website: https://liveyourjam.com/

  • 019: What Happens When Women Move Together (46 Years of Proof) | Pam Stafford

    019: What Happens When Women Move Together (46 Years of Proof) | Pam Stafford
    May 20 2026

    What happens when women don’t just show up for a workout… but for each other?

    In this episode of Live Your Jam, Ellen McGinnis sits down with Pam Stafford, community leader, former mayor, and the creator of a dance-based fitness class that has been running for over 46 years.

    What started as a simple aerobic class became something much deeper. A space where women of all ages, from their 40s to their 90s, come together to move, connect, and build something that goes far beyond fitness.

    Because this isn’t really about choreography, calorie burn, or getting it “right.”

    It’s about consistency, belonging, and what happens when people feel seen in a space they return to week after week, year after year.

    From leading a city through economic hardship to leading a room full of women through movement, Pam shares what it actually takes to build trust, community, and something that lasts. And why, after 46 years, women are still walking through those doors.

    If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, find your people, or create something meaningful… this conversation will change how you think about all of it.

    You will learn:

    • Why women are more consistent when community is present
    • What 46 years of teaching reveals about human connection
    • The difference between a class and a true community
    • How movement strengthens both mental and emotional health
    • Why learning choreography challenges and protects your brain
    • The leadership traits that build long-term trust and loyalty
    • How to create spaces where people feel welcomed and seen
    • Why perfection doesn’t matter, but showing up does
    • The role of movement in healing, especially during hard seasons
    • Why meaning, not motivation, is what keeps people coming back

  • 018: Healing the Stories That Keep Men Stuck with Dr. Don Zaksek

    018: Healing the Stories That Keep Men Stuck with Dr. Don Zaksek
    May 6 2026

    What if the thing keeping you stuck… isn’t weakness, lack of discipline, or even trauma itself, but the story you’ve built to survive it?

    In this episode of Live Your Jam, Ellen McGinnis sits down with psychologist, former Air Force captain, and trauma specialist Dr. Don Zaksek to unpack the silent reality many men are living through, high-functioning on the outside, quietly unraveling on the inside.

    From combat veterans to elite performers, Dr. Don has spent decades working with individuals trained to endure, push through, and never break. But beneath that strength often lives isolation, shame, and a relentless inner narrative that keeps them stuck.

    This conversation goes beyond surface-level mental health advice. It explores identity, purpose, emotional suppression, and what it really takes to heal when your default has always been survival.

    If you’ve ever felt like you should be fine… but you’re not, this episode will challenge how you see yourself and what healing actually looks like.

    You will learn:

    • Why high-performing men often feel the most alone
    • The difference between primary pain and the suffering we create on top of it
    • How emotional numbness becomes a survival strategy (and why it’s so hard to break)
    • What Dr. Don calls “the cracked lens” and how it shapes your reality
    • Why over-responsibility leads to self-blame and burnout
    • How trauma rewires your identity, not just your emotions
    • The role of vulnerability in real, lasting healing
    • What “healthy masculinity” actually looks like today
    • How to reconnect with your inner voice when you’ve lost it
    • Why meaning, not happiness, is what most men are actually searching for

    We talk about:

    • 00:00 Why men who “have it together” are struggling the most
    • 03:00 Strength vs. suppression, what’s really underneath
    • 06:00 The hidden cost of discipline, performance, and control
    • 09:00 Primary vs. secondary suffering explained
    • 12:00 Why numbness feels safer than healing
    • 15:00 The loneliness epidemic in men and loss of meaning
    • 18:00 The “cracked lens” and how trauma distorts reality
    • 21:00 Learning to observe your thoughts instead of believing them
    • 24:00 The role of vulnerability in healing
    • 27:00 Reconnecting to your deeper self (self one vs. self two)
    • 30:00 Why you don’t need to fix yourself, you need to understand yourself
    • 33:00 Letting go of fear-based identity and control
    • 36:00 What transformation actually looks like in real life
    • 39:00 Choosing self-love when self-hatred feels justified
