DEAD Talks Near-Death on Ayahuasca & the Lessons of Buddhism | Jaymee Carpenter (#212)
Jaymee Carpenter shares a raw and soul-shaking story of addiction, near-death, and spiritual rebirth. After hitting rock bottom, a psychedelic ayahuasca experience left him face-to-face with death and changed everything. Through Tibetan Buddhism, Jaymee rewired his life, moving from darkness and despair to reflection, healing, and renewal.
From his early days as a rising musician to living homeless on Skid Row, Jaymee’s journey shows how even the lowest moments can lead to awakening.
In this episode, Jaymee shares:
- His near-death experience through ayahuasca
- The lessons death teaches us about life
- How Tibetan Buddhism reshaped his healing
- The fight with addiction and hitting rock bottom
- Moving from Skid Row to a life of purpose and rebirth
This is a conversation about death, spirituality, and transformation—one that proves even in darkness, there’s a path to light.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
