2 SEP 2026 · In this episode of Soul Truth with Nancy Mae, Nancy welcomes Jacob L. Cooper, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist, regression therapist, author, and near-death experiencer. Jacob shares the profound near-death experience he had at three years old, including leaving his physical body, encountering angels and Spirit Guides, reconnecting with his soul family, and being given a choice about whether to remain on the other side or return to his life.
Nancy and Jacob explore consciousness after death and how spiritual understanding can bring comfort to those navigating grief. They also discuss the importance of honoring the real emotions of loss rather than using spirituality to move around them. As Jacob explains, we don’t move on from those we love, but we may gradually move through the density of the pain while maintaining an enduring sense of connection.
Drawing from his work as a psychotherapist and regression therapist, Jacob shares how clinical mental health practices can work alongside spiritual exploration. He explains past-life and between-lives soul regression, how these approaches may uncover recurring emotional patterns, and why people don’t need to be spiritual experts to explore their own consciousness. Nancy and Jacob also discuss how to distinguish intuition from fear, why living according to our authentic values matters, and how service, presence, and mindfulness can help us experience greater peace and emotional resilience. This is a conversation about death—but even more importantly, it’s a conversation about how we live, heal, and learn to trust the deeper blueprint of our lives.
