Customer Reviews
Such a warm conversation
I could listen to Carolyn for hours! She has such empathy for others dealing with end-of-life concerns. But I'm enjoying getting to know her better as she shares her own grief journey. Thanks for all you & Sarah are doing to move forward these important conversations.
An Engrossing listen
I am new to this podcast, but was so engrossed in episode 10 with Nisha Bowman that I will be going back and listening closely to all past episodes. I have shared with family and friends, as these are conversations that we need to be having and integrating into our every day lives.
A timely, and timeless, topic
So excited to tune into this podcast - the more we normalize, de-stigmatize, and educate on the inevitable processes of death and dying, the more we can be fully present while we are alive and living. Thank you for bringing this important content to your listeners.
