She died—and came back with a message.
Amber Cavanagh, known as the West Coast Medium, joins me for a deeply moving conversation about her near-death experience, the psychic gifts she’s had since childhood, and how surviving a massive stroke transformed her life, purpose, and perspective on what it means to truly live.
We explore:
✦ Seeing spirits as a child—and realizing others couldn’t
✦ What happened on the other side and why she chose to return
✦ The healing journey after her stroke and brain injury
✦ The surprising link between empathic sensitivity and physical illness
✦ Why she believes everyone has the ability to connect with spirit—and how to start
Amber’s story is vulnerable, mystical, and grounded in lived experience. This episode is for anyone on the path of spiritual awakening—especially those who’ve felt overwhelmed by their gifts or out of place in the world.

Hey, I’m Ian Vogel—host of Alternate Timelines. My journey started on a small farm in the midwest, where I always felt a little out of place. After years of skepticism and even a stint as an atheist, a near-death experience changed my perspective on everything. Since then, I’ve explored plant medicine, past life memories, and the mysteries of consciousness. Now, I’m sharing those experiences to help others navigate their own awakening. Through real stories, deep conversations, and wild explorations of the unknown, we’re building a community where it’s okay to question reality. You’re not alone in the unknown. 👽✨
