This week on Waking Up The Witch, Amber and Taylar sit down with the incredible Samantha Turpin—therapist and death doula—to unravel the layers of grief, legacy, and the great mystery of what happens when we leave this realm.
Samantha shares her path into end-of-life work, the supernatural experiences that shaped her journey, and why embracing mortality can actually bring us closer to our power, our truth, and our purpose. Together, we dive into the art of holding space for transition, the importance of tending our grief (in all its forms), and how legacy work can become a spell of remembrance—one we write while we’re still alive.
If you’ve ever been curious about death doulas, paranormal encounters, or how to navigate grief with more compassion and less fear, this conversation offers comfort, clarity, and a whole lot of magic.
