| 4/16/26 |  A Bereavement Concierge For The Hardest To Do List | Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of losing someone is not only saying goodbye. It’s waking up the next day to passwords you don’t have, bills in the wrong name, banks that won’t talk to you, and an estate process that can stretch for months while you’re running on grief brain. We sit down with Serlina Chu, co-founder of Herekind, to talk about the real work that starts after the funeral: estate administration, probate timelines, asset and liability searches, account closures across banks, i... | 48m 18s | ||||||
| 3/8/26 |  The Cafe Where Death Is Welcome | Send us Fan Mail Death stops us; conversation moves us. We sat with Irene Montefiore, a founding member of the Albany Death Cafe, to explore how a simple table, a pot of tea, and the courage to speak out loud can turn fear into clarity and isolation into connection. We walk through what a Death Cafe truly is: a confidential, not‑for‑profit space where ordinary people share stories, questions, and practical knowledge about dying, grief, funerals, and the choices that come before and aft... | 55m 56s | ||||||
| 12/1/25 |  The Last Wrap: Two Young Mums Greening the Funeral Industry, One Shroud at a Time | Send us Fan Mail Most people never think about the environmental cost of a funeral until they have to plan one. I sat down with Tamsin and Alyssa, the founders of Heaven and Earth Eco Burial Products, to explore how shrouded burial can be safer for the planet, clearer for families, and gentler on budgets—without sacrificing dignity or ritual. Their story is as human as it is practical. As young mums, they built and tested products during lockdown, leaned on a mortician’s expertise, and... | 53m 46s | ||||||
| 11/16/25 |  How A Care Navigator Helps Families Face Death With Dignity | Send us Fan Mail Choice at the end of life isn’t abstract—it’s practical, emotional, and shaped by real laws, real timelines, and real families. We sit down with VAD Care Navigator Laurie Draper to walk through how voluntary assisted dying works in Victoria, what the safeguards look like, and why so many people feel a profound sense of calm simply by unlocking the option. From the first assessment to the final permit, Laurie explains the steps and the four‑to‑six week path that leads to pharm... | 56m 35s | ||||||
| 11/2/25 | Flowers That Tell A Life Story | Send us Fan Mail What if flowers could tell a life story better than words? We sit down with funeral florist Jamie Shrouders of GrandiFlora to unpack how tribute flowers become anchors of meaning at the hardest moment. Jamie traces her family’s journey from postwar Dutch growers to a Melbourne studio dedicated solely to funeral flowers. She shares how personalisation actually happens: casket sprays built from a loved one’s garden cuttings, or a delicate rainbow for a children accompanied by ... | 49m 10s | ||||||
| 10/19/25 | Growing Up After Goodbye | Send us Fan Mail Grief doesn’t arrive with instructions, and it rarely follows a neat timeline. We sit down with Liam, 14, and Toan, 22, to explore how losing a father at the age of eight years old, reshapes identity, school, friendships, and the rhythm of home. Their losses are different—motor neurone disease in one family, alcoholism in the other—but their insights echo: funerals make reality land, support matters most when it’s quiet and consistent, and rituals help turn pain into presence... | 52m 44s | ||||||
| 7/13/25 |  From Kettle Colours to Cardboard Myths: Truth in the Coffin Business | Send us Fan Mail Death isn't a topic most of us eagerly discuss over dinner, yet Mark Sui, owner of Coffin and Casket Victoria, brings a refreshing perspective to this universal experience. His journey into the funeral industry wasn't planned—it began when his family migrated from Hong Kong and formed an unexpected partnership with an Italian stonemason. What started as building monuments evolved into supplying coffins, caskets, and funeral accessories across Australia. Mark pulls back the s... | 49m 03s | ||||||
| 6/29/25 |  Legacy Planning: Conversations with a Will & Estate Specialist | Send us Fan Mail What happens when you die without a will?

Estate planning specialist Nadya Volishina joins Robyn O'Connell to pull back the curtain on what happens when we fail to plan for the inevitable. With alarming clarity, Nadia reveals that half of all Australians currently have no valid will, leaving their families vulnerable to painful di... | 59m 18s | ||||||
| 6/15/25 |  Volunteering at the Hospice: A Journey of Connection and Growth | Send us Fan Mail Death appears in whispers and shadows throughout our lives, yet we rarely make space to truly understand it. In this enlightening conversation, Robyn O'Connell speaks with her nephew Luke O'Connell about his transformative journey as a hospice volunteer in Busselton, Western Australia. Luke's path into end-of-life care began with personal experiences that subtly guided him toward this sacred space, what started as curiosity evolved into a calling that has fundamentally chang... | 1h 05m 43s | ||||||
| 6/2/25 |  When Time Matters Most: A Conversation about Dying with Dignity | Send us Fan Mail What does it truly mean to die with dignity? Behind the clinical terminology and medical frameworks lies a deeply human experience that most healthcare systems aren't equipped to honour. In this powerful conversation, Callie Watt takes us through her 31-year nursing odyssey from remote indigenous communities to emergency departments, and finally to founding Wattletree Health Group – a private nursing service determined to transform end-of-life care. The reality C... | 52m 26s | ||||||
