Very personal funerals.

Tamara and Sian lead us through parlour funerals and how they can be so uniquely personal and actually very easy to arrange. 

Give yourself space and time to organise a good send off.

Give yourself time to grieve in a way that honours a life well lived. 

Enlightening chat about just some of the things you can arrange for a final goodbye

thank you to 

Dulcie, Tamara and Sian for their company and insight.

when a group of friends come together over cheese and wine in front of an open log fire and conversations start to flow....

We explore friendship in our 50's and 60's, how they, we have evolved and what we would tell our 25 year old selves. 

It's amazing how a group of diverse women can come together with commonality, shared self doubts and on some occasions self loathing, but allow themselves to be lifted by their friends. 

Recorded ahead of IWD 2025, bonds of friendship seem even more important these days.

thanks to Jo, Angie, Sher & Hels for indulging me with raw honesty and vulnerability. 

I adore you all x 

When over 20 women come together on a celebrant retreat, magic happens, crown are straightened and love, friendship, laughter and laughter is in abundance. Join me as I chat with just a few of my colleagues who were on the retreat. 

Starting with the irrepressible Lisa Lister, founder of Independent Celebrant Retreats.
