Better Events

Grief, Gatherings, and Connection with Dana Pake


Listen Later

In this episode, Logan sits down with Dana Pake, founder of Lalago Experiences and death doula in training, a personal conversation about grief and it's space at events. Dana shares what three decades of lived experience with grief has taught her about connection, why grief shows up in rooms full of people more than we realize, and what most event professionals miss when it does. Logan also opens up about her own experience with loss while running her business, making this an episode that goes far beyond event planning and into what it really means to create authentic connection in the room.
