Ep 132: Why Wait for the Funeral?


Listen Later

Have you ever noticed how we tend to save profound expressions of love and appreciation for special occasions? We save our best words for eulogies because it feels too awkward to tell the living how much they mean to us. But I'm here to tell you: avoiding a little bit of discomfort is not worth missing the chance to deepen relationships while we still have the opportunity. 

When we wait until someone is gone to express our gratitude, we’re not just robbing them of hearing it—we’re robbing ourselves, too. We miss out on the chance to experience the powerful connection that happens when vulnerability meets gratitude.

In this episode, I’ll share practical ways to spread more love while it matters most. This isn’t just about avoiding regrets when someone passes, it’s about fostering deeper, more authentic connections while we’re all still here. It’s about celebrating the people who make our lives worth living, now, not later.
