"We’re All Going to Die" is a brutally honest, darkly funny podcast about the one thing we all have in common - death. Hosted by someone who's lived through it, sat with it, and learned to laugh at it. No platitudes, no sugarcoating. Just real talk about the end, and everything that leads to it.

This is the first Deathisode - a shorter, more informal episode of We’re All Going to Die.
This isn’t a deep dive or a research-heavy breakdown. It’s a monologue. A check-in. A place for me to talk about grief as it’s happening without waiting for a “proper” episode to exist.
In this Deathisode, I reflect on loss, current events, and why the holidays can feel especially complicated when grief is involved. There are updates on what’s coming next for the podcast, thoughts that didn’t belong anywhere else yet, and the kind of honesty that only shows up when things are still unfolding.
Less structure. More humanity. A little dark. A little comforting.

Episode 3: Grieving - Part 2
In this episode, I break down all the things we grieve that no one ever warns us about. Pets, exes, strangers, celebrities, dying plants, lost earrings, childhood selves, and the people who are still alive but dead to you. I cover the tiny losses that stack up, the big ones that gut-punch you, and the science of how grief hijacks your hormones, brain chemistry, and sense of reality.

Episode 2: Grieving - Part 1
This episode unpacks the infamous five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance—and why they’re less of a roadmap and more of a chaotic loop. With Kübler-Ross as a starting point, I explore the messy and unpredictable reality of grief for the emotional shit show that it is.

Episode 1: Death Gets Personal
In this kickoff episode, I share some of my own experiences with death. I talk about my life marked by loss—from my first funeral at age four to finding my father dead on Christmas Eve. I talk about grief, trauma, why I made a literal list of people I know who’ve died, and how all of it led to the creation of this podcast.
