Tricia Barker--Angels in the OR & What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fiercely

Tricia Barker experienced a profound near-death experience during her senior year of college at the University of Austin after getting into a car wreck and going into surgery. At the time, Tricia did not consider herself a religious or spiritual person in the least, but everything changed that day. Her near-death experience story has been featured on I Survived: Beyond and Back, National Geographic Magazine, Simple Grace Magazine, Women’s World Magazine, and The Doctor Oz Show. Years after her Near-Death Experience, Tricia moved to South Korea to teach and experienced deep sexual trauma when she was brutally raped, and then dismissed by law enforcement. In her memoir, she dives deep into how her insights into life after death were instrumental in her ability to heal her heart and her mind, and how the courage humans must exhibit to truly live in our bodies is incredibly powerful. She wrote all about it in her memoir, Angelsin the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation. Tricia also interviews healers and NDE-ers on her YouTube Channel, “Be the Light of Your Own Healing.” Beth Clayton Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease in their relationship with food, their bodies, their lives and ultimately, themselves. In this episode, we dive into: ● The details of Tricia’s NDE, including the verifiable details that would have been impossible to know while she was unconscious in surgery. ● The mission Tricia received while in her NDE that defied her current path. ● The beings of light or “angels” that Tricia met in the OR and what they communicated to her. ● The experience of unconditional love, and why it makes her emotional to talk about even to this day. ● The intuitive and energetic “gifts” that she returned with that sometimes she wished she didn’t have. ● The gifts Tricia returned with and the healing she found in supporting her father as he passed away. ● How she used her insight into life beyond the physical to help heal herself from sexual trauma that occurred years later. ● The paradox found in understanding oneself as a spiritual being but still being in the sometimes incredibly painful and difficult human experience. ● What living fiercely means to someone who has experienced death.
