In this episode of Department of Unusual Occupations, I sit down with Erika Lim, whose occupation is a death doula. She helps guide individuals and families through the final stages and really any stage of life with compassion, honesty and care.

Together, we discussed why death remains one of society’s deepest taboos, what it means to find purpose in the moments most people turn away from, and how confronting mortality can actually bring peace, not fear.

It’s a conversation about endings that feels surprisingly alive with equal parts vulnerable, reflective and unexpectedly comforting.
