We have a VERY special guest on the podcast this week for the first time ever…… Dawn Nelson AKA Hope’s mom! But she’s probably not here to talk about what you might expect. Today, Dawn sits down with Hope to share her journey to becoming a licensed Funeral Director. Dawn knew this was her calling from a young age, but didn’t go back to school for funeral directing until much later. Therefore, she shares some uplifting advice for those who may feel unsure or scared about changing their path. Additionally, Dawn explains interesting details about her job that you probably aren’t aware of, including the removal and embalming of the deceased. Some other topic areas involve how funeral directors were impacted by the pandemic, the rewarding hardships of Dawn's job, and gender disparities within the funeral industry. You don’t want to miss out on this one!
