But Carrie's life wasn't always about being an outspoken advocate... She in fact, was illiterate much of her life; was placed in the 'Dummy Class' in grade 8 and failed grade 12. She was told by teachers, she was 'lazy' and 'would never amount to anything'. So what happened then to turn her life around so drastically? One day Carrie's prayers were answered in the most unusual way... She died! Not once, but twice!Carrie was an up-and-coming Aboriginal (Metis) actress in 1992 - that is until one fateful day when her self-destructive ways of drinking got the best of her, and she slipped away into the darkness of her first Near-Death-Experience.Carrie survived that death and immediately turned her life around. So imagine her surprise when she died for a second time a year later! This second death was extremely different from the first. This time, Carrie didn't venture into the Darkness of Hell. Instead, she travelled into the White Void (Heaven) and received one of the most profound and comprehensive messages imaginable!In these remarkable pages, Carrie bravely shares with you her extraordinary insights, downloads and wondrous Conversations with Spirit, God, Jesus, The Council of Men, and her 'Guidance Counsellor' – who answered every question imaginable about Heaven, Hell, Power of Thoughts, Purpose, Manifestation, Healing, Spirit vs Soul, What happens to Suicidal Souls, Judgement, Love, Secrets of Native Wisdom, and everything else in between.Always an avid journaler, Carrie delivers her recollections in this astonishing narrative using excerpts from her personal diary entries from 1992 and ‘93.After Carrie's return from her NDE’s, she went on to become the pioneer and catalyst of a child protection movement in 1998. She's improved the lives of millions of children through her volunteer work as a Child Advocate and Federal Government Witness. Carrie Kohan dedicated the next 17 years to helping to amend and write 14 laws to protect children. Despite death-threats and the obstacles of being illiterate much of her life, Carrie persevered! In the end she contributed to the creation of more laws than any other citizen.Carrie is also the namesake for a Private Member's Bill written by MP Art Hanger called, ‘Carrie’s Guardian Angel Law’.As a result, Kohan has been awarded medals from the United Nations and Queen Elizabeth II. And it all started with practicing The Five Lessons of Life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Life-Changing Masterpiece!
The Five Lessons of Life by Carrie Kohan is nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first page, I was captivated by her honesty, vulnerability, and incredible storytelling. This isn’t just a book—it’s an experience. Carrie takes you on an unforgettable journey through two near-death experiences, sharing profound insights about life, love, and purpose in a way that feels both deeply personal and universally relevant.
What makes this book so powerful is how real it is. The emotions, the lessons, the raw truth—every chapter resonates. It’s rare to find a book that can make you reflect so deeply on your own life while also filling you with hope and courage. Reading this felt like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a wise friend who has truly “seen it all.”
Carrie’s five life lessons are transformative. I finished the last page feeling inspired, lighter, and more intentional about how I live every single day. This book reminded me to choose love, embrace forgiveness, and live fully in the present moment.
If you’re looking for a book that will touch your soul, expand your perspective, and perhaps even change your life, The Five Lessons of Life is it. I will be recommending this to everyone I know. Thank you, Carrie, for sharing your story and your heart with the world.

Forgiveness is so important for our own well being.
I'd. Recommend this to anyone who is struggling with anything in their life.
