When life hands you brain cancer, you love extreme. Well, that’s what Ethan Lipsitz has done anyways. What started as a simple heart symbol in 2015, Love Extremist has transmuted into an offering of creative expression in all forms that aims to inspire love as our greatest human power. Ethan has become a symbol himself of love to the maximum, taking charge of his diagnosis by bringing his story of healing into the world through art, podcasts, and projects like Camp Death. This episode isn’t for those who want to hang in the shallow end. Ethan and Love Exremist dares you to jump into the deep end of life. Are you coming or what?

Ethan Lipsitz - Love Extremist

A podcast to explore the often times taboo topics of death, dying, and grief. We offer people a place to gather and listen to others around their experience with death and dying. We aim to encourage and support a healthy relationship with death and to move from a culture of mostly death denial to a community focused on living life more fully alive.

Join us with ER Doctor Alin Gragossian as she talks with us about someone who not only sees death all of the time, but then experienced death herself.

Tune in to hear all about Alin’s unique experience with her new heart from Lucy and how she creates meaning with a focus on advocacy for transplantation.
