        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <strong>A Life Afterlife Podcast</strong>, host Deborah Gabby Baker sits down with <strong>Ryan "Chaos" Curtis</strong>, professional MMA fighter and host of the <em>Made in Chaos</em> podcast, for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about identity, grief, and resilience. Ryan opens up about growing up in Dublin 1, the tight-knit but fading sense of community he was raised in, and the boxing legacy in his family (Champions Avenue is even named after his grandfather). He speaks candidly about the neck injury that nearly ended his life and forced him to rebuild his identity beyond fighting, the recovery process, and why he ultimately stepped back from competition. The conversation turns deeply personal as Gabby offers spontaneous spiritual readings, connecting Ryan to his late father — who died from an overdose when Ryan was ten months old — and his mother, who passed from COPD. Ryan reflects on fatherhood, becoming a dad to his daughter, survivor's guilt around friends still recovering from serious injuries, his skepticism toward traditional therapy, and the philosophy behind his own podcast, <em>Made in Chaos</em>. It's an honest, funny, and moving episode about turning chaos into growth.</p><p>Timecodes</p><ul><li><strong>00:00</strong> – Welcome &amp; introducing guest Ryan "Chaos" Curtis</li><li><strong>00:30</strong> – Catching up, mutual connections (Kylie Gracie), valuing authenticity</li><li><strong>03:04</strong> – Ryan's background: growing up in Dublin 1</li><li><strong>04:13</strong> – Community, tenement history, and Henrietta Street</li><li><strong>05:23</strong> – How neighborhoods and community have changed over time</li><li><strong>06:24</strong> – Ryan's mum, Dublin identity, and changing culture</li><li><strong>07:35</strong> – Theories on why community has faded (money, social media, comparison)</li><li><strong>08:43</strong> – Ryan's mum's passing (COPD) and grief stored in the body</li><li><strong>09:50</strong> – Family boxing legacy — Champions Avenue named after his grandfather</li><li><strong>10:32</strong> – Boxing vs. MMA and brain damage discussion</li><li><strong>11:23</strong> – Deciding not to let fighting define his identity</li><li><strong>13:22</strong> – Ryan's stubbornness, star sign, and astrology chat</li><li><strong>16:23</strong> – Marriage, family traditions, and changing values today</li><li><strong>17:04</strong> – Ryan's views on masculinity and protecting family</li><li><strong>18:18</strong> – Religion, faith, and living a "holy" life</li><li><strong>20:39</strong> – Authenticity vs. seeking online validation</li><li><strong>23:26</strong> – How the accident shaped his mindset and outlook on life</li><li><strong>24:16</strong> – Life as "the best teacher" and learning from hardship</li><li><strong>26:36</strong> – Friendship, slagging, and staying grounded</li><li><strong>28:31</strong> – Ryan's neck injury — what happened and immediate aftermath</li><li><strong>28:54</strong> – Did he have a near-death experience?</li><li><strong>29:40</strong> – Becoming a father and his daughter's role in his recovery</li><li><strong>32:05</strong> – Life in the hospital and unexpected silver linings</li><li><strong>33:31</strong> – Gabby's reading: "the accident may have saved your life"</li><li><strong>34:19</strong> – Why he believes his path was diverted from a worse outcome</li><li><strong>35:04</strong> – Why he doesn't see fighting as "a sport"</li><li><strong>36:51</strong> – Mentality needed to compete at the highest level</li><li><strong>38:08</strong> – His near-UFC career and the "burnt toast theory"</li><li><strong>40:15</strong> – Reading: connecting with his late father's spirit</li><li><strong>41:07</strong> – His father's death by overdose when Ryan was 10 months old</li><li><strong>44:35</strong> – Grief, memory, and staying connected to lost loved ones</li><li><strong>44:56</strong> – Reading: his mother's miscarried baby</li><li><strong>47:41</strong> – Soul contracts and spiritual perspective on hardship</li><li><strong>48:13</strong> – Crystals, moon charging, and Gabby's spiritual practices</li><li><strong>49:31</strong> – Where Ryan is today in his physical recovery</li><li><strong>50:46</strong> – Survivor's guilt toward friends still recovering</li><li><strong>51:04</strong> – Why traditional therapy didn't work for him</li><li><strong>54:11</strong> – Confronting emotions vs. using the gym as an escape</li><li><strong>57:09</strong> – Introducing his podcast "Made in Chaos" and its premise</li><li><strong>59:23</strong> – Light-hearted wrap-up and goodbyes</li><li><strong>1:00:01</strong> – Outro and disclaimer</li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Gaby Baker sits down with two guests from Ballyfermot, Dublin, for an open and often funny conversation about identity, transformation, and the spiritual undercurrents running through their lives.</p><p>Paige, 28, shares her journey as a trans woman — from recognizing her identity as a young child, through social and medical transition in her teens, to life two years post gender-reassignment surgery. She speaks candidly about resilience, self-acceptance, and why she sees her path not as something to overcome but as a source of strength and self-knowledge.</p><p>Alan, known online as "Alan Loves World" (and affectionately as "Alan Loves Chicken"), talks about his years in reality TV, a Brazilian Butt Lift and its recovery, and a pivotal appearance on an American plastic-surgery TV show with Dr. Terry Dubrow that led him to reverse some cosmetic work and return to his natural red hair — a turning point he describes as central to becoming who he is today. He also identifies as non-binary and discusses fluid attraction, fame in a small community, and dealing with online trolling and tabloid attention.</p><p>The conversation moves through psychic and intuitive experiences, protective "gut feeling" moments (including a frightening story about a nightclub scam in Istanbul), crystals and their spiritual associations (carnelian, rose quartz), and reflections on found family within the trans community. The episode closes with sponsor shout-outs and some lighthearted chicken-based banter throughout.</p><p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Gaby Baker sits down with two guests from Ballyfermot, Dublin, for an open and often funny conversation about identity, transformation, and the spiritual undercurrents running through their lives.</p><p>Paige, 28, shares her journey as a trans woman — from recognizing her identity as a young child, through social and medical transition in her teens, to life two years post gender-reassignment surgery. She speaks candidly about resilience, self-acceptance, and why she sees her path not as something to overcome but as a source of strength and self-knowledge.</p><p>Alan, known online as "Alan Loves World" (and affectionately as "Alan Loves Chicken"), talks about his years in reality TV, a Brazilian Butt Lift and its recovery, and a pivotal appearance on an American plastic-surgery TV show with Dr. Terry Dubrow that led him to reverse some cosmetic work and return to his natural red hair — a turning point he describes as central to becoming who he is today. He also identifies as non-binary and discusses fluid attraction, fame in a small community, and dealing with online trolling and tabloid attention.</p><p>The conversation moves through psychic and intuitive experiences, protective "gut feeling" moments (including a frightening story about a nightclub scam in Istanbul), crystals and their spiritual associations (carnelian, rose quartz), and reflections on found family within the trans community. The episode closes with sponsor shout-outs and some lighthearted chicken-based banter throughout.</p><p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode, host Gabby Baker is joined by two truly remarkable guests — Ciara Connelly and Kenneth O'Driscoll (Coach Ken) — for an open, heartfelt conversation about life, death, and everything in between.</p><p>Ciara shares her extraordinary story of surviving a cardiac arrest at just 24 years old. Clinically dead for 25 minutes, she was brought back against all odds — and came back changed. She opens up about her near-death experience: floating through a golden wheat field toward a wooden house, feeling a love beyond description, and meeting a woman's energy at a windowless pane who gave her a choice to stay or return. She also talks candidly about the aftermath — relearning to walk, read, and write, living with dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, and the profound spiritual and psychic gifts that emerged from the other side.</p><p>Coach Ken, founder of the Ballyfermot and Cherry Orchard Running Clubs, shares his own journey from addiction and a troubled past to becoming a beacon of hope in his community. He recounts his own near-death experience during a hospital visit, his experimentation with DMT and the parallels he sees between that and Ciara's experience, and how running became the unexpected force that saved his life — and the lives of countless others in his community.</p><p>Together with Gabby, the three explore consciousness, the spirit world, the science of DMT, retrograde amnesia, psychic ability, the meaning of goosebumps, and what it truly means to be alive. This is an episode about resilience, purpose, and the undeniable sense that there is something bigger at work.</p><p><em>"If I can reach out to just one person and let them know there is something else — that their loved ones are not alone when they die — that's enough."</em> — Ciara</p><p><strong><br>Timecodes</strong></p><p><strong>00:00</strong> — Welcome &amp; guest introductions: Ciara and Coach Ken<br> <strong>01:33</strong> — Ciara's story begins: the day of her cardiac arrest in Drimnagh<br> <strong>02:32</strong> — Six minutes to death: Dublin Fire Brigade, three shocks, and a faint pulse<br> <strong>02:54</strong> — James's Hospital, a hypothermic coma, and 25 minutes clinically dead<br> <strong>03:43</strong> — Waking up: stroke, memory loss, and only remembering her two children<br> <strong>04:27</strong> — Being the 1 in 10 who survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest<br> <strong>05:14</strong> — Diagnosis: dilated cardiomyopathy — a heart three times normal size<br> <strong>05:41</strong> — Living with retrograde and anterograde amnesia<br> <strong>06:04</strong> — The one thing she does remember: her near-death experience<br> <strong>06:50</strong> — Describing the experience: a warm summer field, floating, overwhelming love<br> <strong>07:31</strong> — The wooden house, the windowless pane, and the woman's energy<br> <strong>09:01</strong> — The choice: come through or go back — and Ciara chooses her children<br> <strong>09:51</strong> — Was it a bright light or sunlight?

This is an episode about resilience, purpose, and the undeniable sense that there is something bigger at work.</p><p><em>"If I can reach out to just one person and let them know there is something else — that their loved ones are not alone when they die — that's enough."</em> — Ciara</p><p><strong><br>Timecodes</strong></p><p><strong>00:00</strong> — Welcome &amp; guest introductions: Ciara and Coach Ken<br> <strong>01:33</strong> — Ciara's story begins: the day of her cardiac arrest in Drimnagh<br> <strong>02:32</strong> — Six minutes to death: Dublin Fire Brigade, three shocks, and a faint pulse<br> <strong>02:54</strong> — James's Hospital, a hypothermic coma, and 25 minutes clinically dead<br> <strong>03:43</strong> — Waking up: stroke, memory loss, and only remembering her two children<br> <strong>04:27</strong> — Being the 1 in 10 who survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest<br> <strong>05:14</strong> — Diagnosis: dilated cardiomyopathy — a heart three times normal size<br> <strong>05:41</strong> — Living with retrograde and anterograde amnesia<br> <strong>06:04</strong> — The one thing she does remember: her near-death experience<br> <strong>06:50</strong> — Describing the experience: a warm summer field, floating, overwhelming love<br> <strong>07:31</strong> — The wooden house, the windowless pane, and the woman's energy<br> <strong>09:01</strong> — The choice: come through or go back — and Ciara chooses her children<br> <strong>09:51</strong> — Was it a bright light or sunlight?

        <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the very first episode of <em>Life After Life</em>, the podcast with spiritual medium Deborah "Gabby" Baker of Spirit Lifted by Gabby. In this introductory episode, Gabby opens up about who she is, how her gifts first emerged after the birth of her daughter 22 years ago, and the journey that led her from scepticism and fear to becoming a Reiki master and practising medium.</p><p>Gabby tackles the questions she gets asked most on social media — what's the difference between a psychic, a medium, and a clairvoyant? Can a medium accidentally channel negative entities? Does she ever approach strangers in the supermarket? She also shares the incredible story of a client whose life may have been saved after Gabby spotted something in her aura, and discusses the everyday signs your loved ones in spirit may be sending you — from feathers and robins, to a familiar smell, to a coin found on the floor.</p><p>This episode is a warm, candid introduction to everything the podcast will explore: grief healing, past life regression, house clearances, hauntings, and the tools and tips to keep your energy and home protected.
