Betty Guadagno’s near-death journey from overdose to a life chosen before birth
Betty Guadagno, a New York woman, recounts a near‑death experience in 2019 after overdosing on heroin. She says she was shown that her addiction to drugs and the trauma that marked her life wasn’t random but part of a life she consciously agreed to live before she was born. Guadagno claims that in this experience she saw her own 'book of life,' revealing that she had chosen certain traumas and challenges to face on Earth, including breaking the cycle of drug use in her family. She says she became an atheist and fell into heavy drug addiction after her parents, who were also addicts, both died by suicide in 2007. At the age of 35, she overdosed on heroin and entered another realm where she went through a painful 'life review,' feeling all the harm she had done to others as if it was happening to her, which Guadagno called her own personal hell.

The book of life and the Great Awakening
Following the life‑review moment, Guadagno entered a realm of light where she heard her dead father’s voice chanting, 'You are worthy of all the love in the universe.' In the visions of the afterlife, she claimed to have seen herself on a spaceship‑like structure where a beam of light told other souls they were 'the most special volunteers' because they had volunteered to come to Earth 'for the Great Awakening.' At that moment, Guadagno said she was shown her 'book of life,' revealing the life experiences and hardships she had decided to face as a human after her birth. For Guadagno, that included the decision to 'break all the generational curses' of abuse and addiction her parents had succumbed to.
From ruthless abuser to awakening and withdrawal pain
Before her NDE, the New Yorker called herself a 'ruthless abuser,' getting all of her romantic partners strung out on drugs and manipulating other women to turn to prostitution. She added that her own upbringing was marred by 'childhood sexual trauma' that had allegedly become a common experience throughout her family line. Her life took another strange turn after return to her body, when every single drug dealer Guadagno had dealt with over the past decade mysteriously quit the business after her overdose. 'A man that I had been dealing with every day for 10 years, a whole decade of my life. I talk to this guy every single day. And I call him, and he’s like, 'Listen, lose my number. I’m out of the game. I found Jesus, and I want to be a good dad,'' she recounted. She described the spiritual vision that removed her heroin addiction as seeing two men in lab coats with 'lawnmowers' walk through her mind, cleaning out all the withdrawal pains, causing her to feel hot tingles and seeing a bright white flash. 'In that moment, I was instantaneously healed out of day three of heroin withdrawal. It was the most that was divine intervention at its fullest.'
A new life a transformation and recovery coach
Guadagno’s revelations propelled a drastic life change. A former prostitute who pressured her boyfriends into using drugs as well, Guadagno said her shocking trip to the afterlife spurred her to turn her life around, helping those battling addiction or trauma as a transformation and recovery coach. Guadagno told the YouTube channel NDE Journey that her near‑death experience took place in her home when she collapsed on the bathroom floor while getting high. She was immediately transported to a dark, ocean‑like environment where she watched her entire life replay in front of her. All of the people she had harmed through her drug addiction came back to haunt her as she was 'drowning in an ocean of anguish.' 'I spent my whole life living as just this little Earth-dwelling caterpillar rolling around in the mud. I had no idea that one day I was going to bloom into this beautiful butterfly,' Guadagno said in the December 6 video. The NDE shifted her perspective, making her realize that 'every situation in my life that I had ever felt victimized by... every single one of them I had chosen for the evolvement of my soul.' 'I'm not a victim of the world around me. I am a divine co-creator of my reality,' Guadagno added.
