Description

Inspired by my recent conversation with comedian Daman Bamrah about our culture’s deathly disconnection. Today, I explore my perspectives on why Western culture has a deep disconnection from death. Plus the profound impact this has on our emotional well-being, grief processes, and societal wisdom. 

I share practical tools about how you can reconnect to death. Including starting conversations about death with loved ones, using nature's cycles as a guide to understanding mortality and connecting into our cultures and ancestral wisdom.

Tune in to learn why facing death is essential for reclaiming wisdom, connection, and a richer life. If you like this episode, don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode with someone who might need it.
