Death isn’t morbid—it’s what makes existence profound. In this episode, we discuss:

• Buddhist "death meditation" (maranasati) and why avoiding death robs life of meaning.

• The "untimely death video" practice—recording annual goodbye messages to cherish life (and leave closure).

• Personal stories: Dementia improv, ripped pants at a funeral, and how my grandfather’s death taught me presence.

• Reframing trauma: Why we misremember our past and how to reclaim our narratives.

• Marvel’s fatal flaw: How reversing death killed emotional stakes in modern storytelling.

• ADHD, daddy issues, and divine downloads: Unpacking why we help others and the illusions of time.
