Why Does Talking About Death Make Us Uncomfortable - Episode 32


Listen Later

Why does talking about death make us so uncomfortable? It’s definitely not a favorite dinner topic, but we all know that death is a part of life, and yet even just bringing up the word can make most of us feel uneasy. In this episode, we talk about our own experiences in dealing with the loss of a loved one, and how that forces us to confront our own mortality. We explore why we think it’s important to acknowledge that we all have an ending, but to not let that reality cripple us. Instead, you can use it to find inspiration and courage to really live your life with urgency and to the fullest, the way that you want not what you think others want for you.
