This week, Emily sits down with Penny Smith, a hospice nurse and social media influencer who’s changing the way we think and talk about death. 

Together, Emily and Penny explore why normalizing conversations about dying can lead to deeper understanding, acceptance, and peace for both patients and loved ones. Penny opens up about her own transformative journey, from a difficult past to finding purpose in hospice care, and how it shaped her compassionate approach to end-of-life work. With her viral presence as @hospicenursepenny, she’s bringing raw, honest, and even humorous conversations about death to millions. 

Listen as Emily and Penny reflect on acceptance, purpose, and what it truly means to live well, even at the end of life.

Host

In 2019, Emily Bingham lost her 32-year-old husband, Ian, to cancer. His death shattered her world but also cracked her open to profound truth. Through grief, she discovered who she was, accessed an inner strength she never knew existed, and transmuted her pain into purpose—launching a movement that helped millions of grievers heal and rebuild joyful lives.

But by 2023, even after growing a large community, hosting sold-out retreats, and publishing her first book LOVE & GRIEF, she realized she was living… but not actually alive. After 18 months of deep spiritual searching—including priestess training, somatic and psychedelic healing, and earning certifications as a Certified Dharma + Spiritual Life Coach (Highest Self Institute), Certified Temple Guide (13 Moon Mystery School), and Certified Grief Educator (trained by David Kessler)—she realized: Death was the missing link.

Not just a doorway to grief—but a bridge to radical gratitude, truth, and fierce aliveness.

Now, Emily’s mission is to help others awaken what matters, act now (not later), and alchemize what no longer serves—through the medicine of death.

Guest

In this episode, Emily sits down with her mentor, Sarah Jenks, whose near-death experience became a profound initiation into her path as a modern priestess. Through her journey to the edge of life and back, Sarah discovered that death is not an ending, but a sacred teacher, a guide into truth, purpose, and the mystery of the soul.

Together, Emily and Sarah explore the archetypal energy and medicine of death, especially potent at this time of year as the veil thins around Samhain. They discuss how ceremony, one of the core tools of priestessing, can help us decode the language of the soul and remember why we are here. 

Emily and Sarah invite you to meet death not with fear, but with reverence, as a mirror reflecting the deepest truth of who you are.

Sarah Jenks thought she was destined to have an “in the box” life after going to a top college, working in advertising, and then creating a successful emotional eating company. All of that changed when Sarah was introduced to Ceremony. After hearing “you’re not who you think you are” while sitting in Ceremony and feeling the nudge from the Goddess to become a Priestess, she dove headfirst into training and ultimately became an Ordained Priestess.

Emily shares her intimate story alongside Jacki, who helped Emily find her purpose and launch her business moveTHRU after husband’s passing. Together, they reflect not only on the grief that comes with literal loss, but also on the quieter, metaphorical deaths—the endings that reshape us, like leaving behind a home, a version of ourselves, or an identity that no longer fits. They explore how anchoring ourselves in core values becomes essential, especially when the ground beneath us is shifting in ways both seen and unseen.

In this episode, I’m joined by second-time guest Mel Fioravanti, a gifted practitioner, healer, teacher and spiritual guide. Mel has experienced and extensively studied the power of altered state therapy and shares deeply moving conversations about what it truly means to heal.

Together, they explore how stepping into expanded states of awareness can help us shed the protective layers we’ve learned to wear—the masks that keep us safe but also keep us distant from our most authentic selves. Mel speaks to the power of meeting the parts of us we’ve long ignored or suppressed—fear, grief, joy, confusion—not to fix or change them, but to understand their place in our story.

This conversation is an invitation to sit with all of who you are, to hold space for both your light and your shadow, and to begin the quiet, courageous work of returning to wholeness.
