May 21, 2024 Talking about death isn't as bad as we think with End of Life Doula Anna Lyons
This week, I'm speaking with End of Life Doula, Anna Lyons.

Anna also fronts the incredible online platform Life, Death, Whatever which was one of the first accounts I came across when I started Grief Gang! In this episode, Anna shares with us what brought her to this line of work, what is the role of an end of life doula and why we find as a society talking about death so difficult.

Talking about death and dying isn't as bad as we think it is, we all just need a little support in it. I hope this episode can provide some of that!

Big love,

May 07, 2024 Surfing and the healing powers of the ocean in grief with Dan Fischer, One Last Wave Project founder.
This week I'm speaking with Dan Fischer, founder of One Last Wave Project.

Dan's project caught my eye some years back and I've been besotted ever since. After Dan's father died, he turned to their shared love of adventure and nature. One day, Dan stuck a sticky note to a surf board with his father's name on it and the lightbulb moment happened. That experience for Dan was so transformative and connecting that he shared it with the world, and the world responded back. One Last Wave Project was born.

I'll let Dan do the talking on it's origin story and all the heartwarming encounters he has had with the growth of the project. It's truly unbelievable.

Find OLWP on Instagram here and their website here to have your loved ones name on a future board.

April 02, 2024Planning a funeral, rituals and why marking endings is vital with funeral director, Poppy Mardall.
This week, I'm speaking with Poppy Mardall. Funeral director and owner of Poppy's funerals!

In this episode Poppy and I discuss:
How she came into this line of work.
What are the actual steps when organising a funeral?
Championing advocacy for end of life wishes!
Rituals and what they really can be and look like
Challenging why we are so bad with 'endings' as a whole
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Poppy, it was a total delight. It's always amazing how talking about the dead and the dying can actually be completely life affirming.

Find Poppy and Poppy's funeral services here. Be sure to check out the My Funeral Wishes service here if you're curious about planning what you want at the end of your life, or just to get the conversation going.

In this weeks bonus episode, I'm thinking about the end. That's right, the end of our lives! I promise, it's not as morbid as you think. I'm sharing how when we live with the end in mind, how it can actually make us think about how we live, truly. How you can get started documenting what you might or might not want and why it's important to!
