In this powerful episode of Chat with Kattt, I sit down with David Ferrugio, creator and host of the viral DEAD Talks Podcast, to explore why conversations about death, grief, and loss are more important than ever.

David opens up about losing his father at a young age, what inspired him to start the podcast, and how talking about death can actually help us live more fully. We also dive into the myths around grief, generational differences in how we process loss, and the importance of building emotional resilience.

Whether you’re grieving, supporting someone through loss, or simply curious about how to live with more purpose, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

✨ Topics Covered:

• David’s personal story and the birth of DEAD Talks

• Why society avoids conversations about death

• How grief can transform us

• How humor can help us process difficult topics

• Legacy, healing, and what’s next for DEAD Talks

🎧 Listen, reflect, and share — because these conversations matter.
