Liz Hylton is a woman of many talents. Not only is she a professor in mathematics, she is also an experienced funeral director, a lifelong learner and a full-time mom. She joins Jeff in the studio to talk about eduction, technology, parenting, religion, and to give a few stories from the vault of personal history. We go deep into topics revolving her work as owner/director of Pentilla's Chapel, and how that has led her to develop certain skills that most people lack. We also cover her work in education, transitioning to remote learning, and her love of Apple devices and the corresponding distain for PCs.

We also delve into some very personal topics regarding our own lives and mental illness, suicide, and grief. This is amazingly easy to consume, considering the subject matter. Liz is so comfortable with the uncomfortable things in life and she tries to share some of that with me as I squirm my way through some tough conversations.

This podcast made me feel good about being a human. We are all trying our best and we need to keep supporting one another through the hard times. I love you guys. Keep Ramblin.
