We start 2022 off with an episode about all things death and grief with our friend Yumi Carter. We discuss why grieving is so awkward and uncomfortable and Yumi shares her experience grieving a place and culture after visiting the shrinking village in Japan where she’s from. We also go into how to support friends in the midst of grief, and why we should all be talking more about our own mortality.

Follow Yumi at @yumicarter on Instagram and follow us at @criticalth0tspod or slide into our DMs at @its_clarice and @laurapitcher to continue the conversation.
