Dayle Adams began formulating an idea to enable people to leave behind information, memories, and messages after the suicide of a great friend. She felt that regardless of how people died, there was information that could be helpful to those left behind. When her Mum was diagnosed with dementia, she realized how unprepared people were, including herself, to face dying and death, so she trained in end-of-life facilitation and created Planning Ahead of Time where she is a PAT consultant.

This episode features conversations about suicide.  If you or anyone you know needs help with this subject, please visit The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline online www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org or @ 988 talk or 988 text.

Book an appointment and/or find her on LinkedIn. She'd love to help you. It's her calling. I had a session with her, and it was life-changing. You will not regret it. And if you want a FREE primer, no problem! Just listen to her episode, right here!

If you want to know who the other four influences are, I’ve interviewed three (so far):

The fourth is my former boss, Eugene Gray, who for some reason keeps delaying his recording, but that’s probably because capturing his essence is harder than getting lightning in a bottle, so I’ll continue to hope and pray that he commits to coming on…
