Do our souls choose our parents before we're born; and if so, what does that mean for people who grow up with abuse, trauma, or toxic families?

In this episode of The Dead Life, Allison DuBois and Sophia answer listener call-in questions about reincarnation, soul choices, family relationships, and what happens when the people we're related to aren't the people we want beside us in the afterlife.

Allison also explores whether we're reunited with toxic family members after death, why painful experiences can shape our soul's journey, and how healing can come from what we choose to do with those experiences.

Then, a listener shares an extraordinary story about hearing “Unforgettable” while doctors were telling her she would never become pregnant. Allison discusses music as a sign from deceased loved ones and shares some of the remarkable songs that have reminded her that her own father was still close.

Do we choose our parents? Can we choose who surrounds us in heaven? And can a song arrive at exactly the right moment as a message from someone on the other side?

Allison and Sophia take on some of your deepest questions about life, death, family, healing, and signs from heaven.

Why can the people we love the most sometimes be the hardest to hear from after they die?

In this episode of The Dead Life, Allison DuBois and Sophia answer an emotional call from a woman carrying the trauma and survivor’s guilt of witnessing her boyfriend’s murder—and discuss why grief, guilt, and trauma can make it difficult to recognize signs from the other side.

Then Allison explains ways to become more receptive to communication from loved ones who have passed and reveals something even Sophia didn’t know: years ago, Allison began writing messages on the backs of family photographs so that, after she’s gone, she’ll have another way to communicate with her daughters.

Plus, Allison shares some very practical advice for the living: make a will, make your wishes clear, and don’t leave your family to fight over what you leave behind.

What happens on the other side to someone who spent their life hurting the people closest to them?

This week, Allison and Sophia answer listener call-ins about some difficult questions surrounding death, trauma, justice and forgiveness. First, a caller asks whether the parents of murdered or missing children, including the Beaumont children, learn the truth about what happened once they cross over. Allison explains why communicating with victims isn’t as simple as asking them who committed the crime, and why she is especially careful when working with children who experienced violent deaths.

Then, a listener asks a deeply personal question about her malignant narcissistic mother: What happens to a narcissist when they die? Are they forgiven? Do they have to face the pain they caused? And can we be forced to spend the afterlife with someone we wanted nothing to do with in life?

Allison shares what she has experienced in readings with troubled and sometimes very dark personalities, why she believes we eventually understand the wounds that shaped the people who hurt us, and why forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean spending eternity together.

Plus, Allison and Sophia discuss The Lovely Bones, near-death experiences, karmic lessons—and the possibility of revisiting episodes of Medium to reveal which stories were closer to Allison’s real life than viewers might think.

Don’t stop believing.

The Lindsay Clancy trial has captivated and divided millions, but for me, it raises a question that go far beyond the courtroom: what happens in the next life after something unthinkable happens in this one?

Past life regressionist Jonathan Robinson returns to The Dead Life as Allison asks what he has seen when people remember being violent in previous lives, and whether victims can carry the trauma of how they died into their next incarnation.

Could an unexplained phobia come from a past-life death? Can recurring childhood nightmares be memories? Can a birthmark correspond to a wound from another lifetime? And what happens when the victim and the person who hurt them meet again in another life?

Jonathan shares remarkable regression cases involving guilt, murder, childhood trauma, witches and healers, unexplained birthmarks, and even people discovering that relationships in their current lives may have begun centuries ago.

It’s a conversation about the scars we carry, the lives we may have lived before—and whether even the darkest experiences follow us when we come back.

What really happens in the moments before we die?

Allison sits down with Catherine Duncan, a former hospice chaplain, spiritual teacher, and author of Everyday Awakening, whose extraordinary relationship with death began when she was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer and given just a 20% chance to survive.

Years later, a near-death experience would change the course of Catherine’s life again, ultimately leading her to hospice and trauma chaplaincy, where she witnessed more than a thousand people at the end of life.

Catherine and Allison compare what they’ve experienced around death and the spirit world, from dying patients seeing loved ones who have already crossed over, to angels, dark energies, near-death experiences, cord cutting, suicide, and what may happen during a life review.

Through it all, Catherine shares one lesson she believes her years beside the dying made unmistakably clear: we do not die alone.

This week on The Dead Life, Allison and Sophia answer more listener call-ins about extraordinary experiences with the other side. Cindy asks whether an incredibly vivid encounter with her late father was just a dream—or an actual visit. Jamie wants to know why his psychic abilities seem to shift between dreams, mediumship, healing and automatic writing. And Ashley puts the other side to the test by asking her late father-in-law for one very specific sign… only to have it appear where she least expected it.

Allison also explains how to recognize a visitation, why psychic abilities can manifest in different ways, and what happens when you simply tell your loved ones on the other side exactly what you need from them.

Who was the man last seen with the Beaumont children—and why did three cautious young children appear so comfortable with him?

In Part Two, Allison and Sophia DuBois explore the possibility that Jane, Ana and Grant believed the man was someone they could trust. Allison shares the impressions she received while working the case, including a possible connection to the children’s father and the military, and a vision of the children being driven away from Glenelg Beach as Jane begins to realize something is wrong.

They also examine other suspects, questionable witness accounts, missed investigative opportunities, and the frustrating lack of physical evidence in a case that has haunted Australia for six decades.

On Australia Day 1966, nine-year-old Jane Beaumont and her younger siblings, Ana and Grant, went to Adelaide’s crowded Glenelg Beach—and never came home.

Witnesses saw the children laughing and playing with a sandy-haired man. They bought food with money their mother hadn’t given them. And days before they disappeared, Ana had told her mother that Jane had a “boyfriend.”

In Part One of our investigation into one of Australia’s most haunting unsolved cases, Allison and Sophia DuBois examine the children’s final known movements, the mysterious man seen with them, the controversial case against Harry Phipps, and the evidence investigators may have missed.

Can a dream be more than just a dream? Can a perfectly timed song, an unexpected dance or even a mischievous moment at home be a message from someone we have lost?

In this call-in episode, Allison and Sophia hear remarkable stories of signs from the other side. A grieving daughter-in-law receives the goodbye she never had, a father finds a way to give his daughter the dance she always wanted, an estranged mother returns with a healing embrace, and a musician reaches his wife through a song that could not have been more personal.

Allison explains how to recognize a true dream visitation, why our loved ones often appear younger after death, and how forgiveness can open the door to healing and connection. She also shares a simple bedtime practice for those hoping to receive a visit of their own.

In 1984, Margaret Tapp and her nine-year-old daughter, Seana, were found strangled inside their Ferntree Gully home. More than four decades later, their murders remain unsolved, but this case was not lacking suspects or physical evidence.

Allison and Sophia revisit the disturbing investigative failures surrounding the case, including a retired police officer who was allowed to enter the crime scene and remove a book, evidence that later disappeared, a crucial DNA sample that was cross-contaminated, and questions about how a suspect could be cleared when seemingly little remained for comparison.

After visiting the family’s home and gravesite in Australia, Allison also shares new impressions she received about the final moments of Margaret and Seana’s lives—and why she believes the positioning of Margaret’s hands may reveal something chilling about the killer.

Allison DuBois continues her investigation into the disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell, Australia’s most widely recognized missing child.

This time, Allison is joined by Joe DuBois to examine the case from a father’s perspective. How would a parent normally respond when a child has only been missing for a few minutes and why was William’s foster father reportedly described as “hysterical” so quickly?

They discuss the disputed timeline, the mysterious Spider-Man photographs, missed opportunities to preserve evidence, and Allison’s impressions of what may have happened after William disappeared. They also consider whether the foster father’s emotional reaction could suggest that he knew more than the public had been told.

The opinions and intuitive impressions discussed in this episode are those of the speakers. No individual discussed has been convicted in connection with William Tyrrell’s disappearance.

After six weeks in Australia, Allison DuBois is finally ready to talk about what happened behind the scenes while investigating the disappearance of 3-year-old William Tyrrell.

Working without police files, facing restrictions she had never encountered in the U.S., and digging through conflicting timelines and limited public information, Allison says certain details of the case simply did not feel right. In this episode of The Dead Life, Allison and Sophia revisit the roadblocks they faced, the moments that raised red flags, and the impressions Allison says she could not fully share during the live Australian event.

They discuss William’s final known hours, inconsistencies they found troubling, questions surrounding the investigation, and why Allison believes this case still deserves a fresh look.

These are Allison’s personal impressions and opinions regarding an unsolved case. No person discussed should be considered guilty of any crime unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Allison is back from Australia and sits down with master astrologer Tom McMullen to unpack the major energy shifts moving into July. From the full moon in Capricorn to Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Tom explains why this is a time to step back, listen to your emotions, and focus on the relationships, finances, and choices closest to home.

Allison and Tom also explore Jupiter moving into Leo, what it means for risk-taking and self-worth, and why the biggest regrets often come from the chances we never take. Plus, they discuss the emotional intensity surrounding the 4th of July weekend, Venus moving into Virgo, and how to use challenging astrology constructively instead of destructively.

This episode is about reflection, courage, boundaries, and choosing not to live in fear.

In Part 2 of Allison's conversation with Australian medium Matilda, the discussion turns to the deeper responsibilities that come with spiritual gifts. Together they explore how life experiences shape a medium's abilities, why some practitioners are naturally drawn to helping families affected by trauma and loss, and the ethical challenges that come with working in the spirit world.

They also share personal stories about grief, intuition, pets in spirit, social media's impact on modern mediumship, and why experience and humility matter more than fame.
