Death doesn’t have to be dark, scary, or a failure. In this special episode, we’ve gathered three incredible death doulas to talk about what conscious dying means to them, their experiences with Medical Aid in Dying, and how they help people go on a spiritual journey to release regrets and feel freedom before death. Listen for a wealth of wisdom, their mission to bring empowerment and autonomy to dying, and invitations to help you on your own conscious dying journey.
