You know what we talk a lot about? Living: better, longer and with purpose. But, in most of our conversations, we’re missing – or rather, avoiding – a layer of living: dying, which is inevitable for all of us. Talking about it won’t make it happen sooner (swear!). In fact, it may make it happen better. Why not make a Grand Exit? Enter “the conversation” with Tamatha Thomas-Haase - who’s living like she’s dying because metastatic breast cancer tells her that the scans, tests and treatments won’t end until her life does - and Chelsea Leader Gold -- whose family schooled her in how to live on. Leave feeling more alive.

Knowing When to Call It: The (Beautiful) Death of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘨 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵, with Jesse Israel
<p>What happens when something beautiful is complete — but you’re still afraid to let it go? And then what happens when you do it anyway?</p><p>In this episode of Grand Exit, Tamatha and Chelsea sit down with <a href="https://www.jesseisrael.com/"><u>Jesse Israel</u></a> — former music executive, founder of <a href="https://www.thebigquiet.com/"><u>The Big Quiet</u></a>, and now leadership coach and speaker — to explore the birth, life, and conscious ending of a movement that helped thousands of people get quiet together.</p><p>Jesse shares how The Big Quiet began not as a business plan, but as an experiment rooted in intuition, meditation, and a willingness to follow what felt true. He also opens up about the harder chapter: realizing that after nine years, the cycle was complete — and facing the grief, identity shift, and uncertainty that came with letting it go.</p><p>Together, they talk about purpose, noise, community, the shame we attach to endings, and the courage it takes to ask not “what’s next?” but “what now?”</p><p>A conversation for anyone navigating the end of a business, role, relationship, or version of themselves.</p><p><strong>. . . .</strong></p><p><strong>Digging what you're hearing?</strong></p><p>- Share Grand Exit with someone who matters to you</p><p>- Rate + review Grand Exit - tell us what it inspires in your world</p><p>- Connect on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/grand.exit"><u>@grand.exit </u></a></p><p>- Get Tamatha + Chelsea’s notes to your inbox: <a href="http://grandexit.com/newsletter"><u>grandexit.com/newsletter</u></a><br></p>

Ritual: Making the Invisible Moments 𝘚𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥, with Megan Sheldon - Founder: Be Ceremonial
<p>What makes a moment a ritual—and how can those rituals help us live, love, grieve, and remember more fully? </p><p>In this conversation with Megan Sheldon, cultural mythologist, lifecycle celebrant, and co-founder of the Be Ceremonial app, Tamatha and Chelsea explore the art of transforming ordinary acts into intentional, symbolic actions that carry deep meaning.</p><p>This episode is full of creative, deeply personal examples of ritual in action. Megan shares her four-part definition of ritual, the difference between ritual and ceremony, and why giving ourselves permission to experiment—and even “retroactively” honor moments we missed—can be life-changing.</p><p>Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, grieving a loss, or simply marking the quiet in-between moments of your own living, you’ll come away with ideas and invitations to make your own life’s milestones more intentional, personal, and alive.</p><p><strong>. . . .</strong></p><p><strong>Digging what you're hearing?</strong></p><p>- Share Grand Exit with someone who matters to you</p><p>- Rate + review Grand Exit - tell us what it inspires in your world</p><p>- Connect on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/grand.exit"><u>@grand.exit </u></a></p><p>- Get Tamatha + Chelsea’s notes to your inbox: <a href="http://grandexit.com/newsletter"><u>grandexit.com/newsletter</u></a><br></p>
