178: From Near Death Experience to Divine Purpose, Your Sacred Life Revealed | Rev. Honi Borden

What if your life didn’t start here… and it doesn’t end here either?In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman sits down with Reverend Honi Borden, an existential counselor, spiritual teacher, and near-death experiencer who has crossed the threshold between life and death, more than once.After surviving a fatal car crash as a child, Honi began to experience reality in a way most people never do, seeing beyond the physical world, sensing energy, and knowing, deeply, that she was more than her body. Years later, after building a successful life and business, everything shifted again when her heart stopped… and she entered the afterlife.What she experienced there reshaped everything.This conversation explores what happens beyond death, how trauma and purpose are deeply connected, and why the version of you that feels “out of place” might actually be the most aligned version of you.Because this isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about finally understanding it.What you’ll learn in this episode:What a real near-death experience feels like, beyond the storiesThe difference between leaving the body and entering the afterlifeHow early trauma can awaken deeper spiritual awarenessWhy you are not your body, and what that actually meansHow unresolved trauma stays stored in the body and resurfaces laterThe connection between intuition, survival, and spiritual awakeningWhat happens in the afterlife, including encounters with higher consciousnessHow identity shifts happen after major life events or awakeningsWhy success doesn’t always fill the deeper void withinThe moment everything can change, even when life looks “perfect” on the outsideWhat it means to be called into a greater purpose, and why it often requires letting go firstHow spiritual gifts can feel isolating before they become integratedThe role of embodiment, bringing higher awareness into everyday lifeWhy your path isn’t about becoming someone new, but remembering who you’ve always beenWe talk about:00:00 The question that changes everything, what does it mean to truly live?02:00 Her first near-death experience at age seven05:00 The fatal car crash and leaving her body07:00 Experiencing a higher form of self beyond the physical body09:00 Surviving without injury and the aftermath of trauma11:00 Losing memory and returning with new awareness13:00 Seeing beyond reality, energy, beings, and heightened perception16:00 Feeling different, navigating life as a child with spiritual awareness18:30 Suppressing her gifts to fit into the world21:00 Her father’s death and the emotional breaking point23:00 Becoming a therapist while struggling internally26:00 The moment that changed everything, her son’s healing30:00 Building a successful business driven by pain and purpose34:00 When success isn’t enough, the deeper void within37:00 The moment she was told to shut everything down40:00 Receiving divine messages she couldn’t ignore42:00 Her second near-death experience and entering the afterlife44:00 Meeting higher beings and reviewing her life47:00 The message she was sent back to share49:00 Identity shifts, purpose, and returning to Earth differently51:00 What ascension really means in everyday life54:00 Why embodiment, not information, is the real work56:00 Navigating the space between who you were and who you’re becomingResources mentioned in this episode:One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.
