Today is such an important episode! I have a special guest, Cassie Lemke, hospice nurse and death doula to teach us all about how amazing hospice is and the common misconceptions people have about. This is definitely an episode to share with your loved ones!

Episode 09: Sometimes the ugliness takes you by surprise
This week I'm getting a little vulnerable with you guys and sharing something personal that happened. I'm talking about the ugliness of end of life planning. I've heard stories about the ugliness after someone dies, but never really about the awful stuff that happens when you're trying to help someone plan. I hope this can help you and you don't have to go through the difficulties that I am. And if you have any encouraging words, I'd love to hear them!

Episode 07: Can we FEEL grief?
Two episodes ago, we talked about the different stages of grief and how they might manifest. But did you know grief can affect us physically as well? Today, we talk about all the ways that grief messes with us and our physical bodies. I reference Dr. George Slavich and UCLA Health, you can find that information here:

The secret of a good death
What is a good death and how do we plan one? This is what we will be talking about in today's episode. Obviously we can't totally plan our death, but by talking about our wishes and what our loved ones' wishes are, we can plan for the best death possible. This week I share with you the two main reasons I feel that we don't talk about death.
The book I reference in this episode is "With the End in Mind" by Dr. Kathryn Mannix and you can find it on Amazon here:

The truth about grief...it sucks
Today, we're talking about grief. We'll talk about the stages of grief, but learn that there's no "one size fits all" grief journey. We all grieve differently and that's ok. I'm getting vulnerable and sharing more details with you about my own grief journey with losing my mom.
