Episode 1: The Avoidance-Crisis relationship we have with death. Let's change it!

Listen Later

In Western culture, and more specifically in American culture, we have evolved to have an unhealthy relationship with how we process the transition into death. 

We have found ourselves in a two stage process in dealing with death: Avoidance and Crisis


When we are unprepared, dealing with our end of life or grief is heavier and harder than it needs to be. Let’s shift our relationship and open up the conversation to live a better life and own our legacy.


The new generations … Millennials, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z … Are instrumental in making this cultural shift and invited to join this conversation.
