► Episode Introduction
In this episode, we explore the intricate dance between life and death with Michelle, an experienced death doula. Michelle brings a unique perspective to end-of-life care, offering emotional, spiritual, and practical support to those facing death and their families. As she explains, "An end of life doula really brings this calm. There's a normalcy to it because we all are going to die." Our conversation delves into transforming our relationship with death from fear to fascination. Michelle asks, "How do you shift fear into fascination and curiosity?" This shift keeps us open and more relaxed as we approach life's final adventure. We discuss cultural perspectives on dying, the hidden costs of modern death practices, and new approaches to dying with dignity. Throughout our talk, a central theme emerges: understanding death can profoundly impact how we live. As Michelle puts it, "I think going into death, you leave alone and to really cultivate this inner refuge. This inner sanctuary is so important." Join us as we uncover wisdom that can help us live more fully and die with grace, enriching our appreciation for life in the present moment.
