About this episode

This episode features a conversation with Denise Love about how discussing death can enhance our experience of life.

What if talking about death could actually teach us how to live? What if the thing we fear most… could become the doorway to more presence, pleasure, intimacy and freedom? In this episode, I’m joined by the extraordinary Denise Love - birth and death doula, nurse, hypnotherapist, educator and elder - for a delightfully honest, liberating and life-affirming conversation about life and death This episode isn’t heavy or depressing. It’s uplifting, wise, frank and refreshingly honest. This conversation will stay with you… and leave you reflecting on what you could be doing to truly live now. In this episode we explore: What people most regret at the end of life Why women lose themselves trying to please everyone else How menopause can become a portal to truth and freedom The power of sensuality, touch and intimacy throughout life Why friendship, tribe and feeling seen matters so deeply Rituals around dying, grief and celebrating life How talking about death can actually help us live more consciously What it means to stop saving your life for “one day” You can connect with Denise Love: Facebook: facebook.com/Denise.Love.122719 Instagram: @deniselove330 Email Denise…
