On today’s episode, we’ll dive into the environmental impact of traditional burial and cremation, the science behind terramation, and the broader movement toward eco-friendly living and dying. Episode 4 is a thought-provoking journey into how we can leave a lasting, positive impact on the planet—one life at a time. 🌱💚 Links from today’s episode: https://www.thenaturalfuneral.com/ https://earthfuneral.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://returnhome.com/ https://recompose.life/ https://nypost.com/2023/03/21/mom-buries-son-by-composting-his-body-in-green-funeral/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Let’s connect on the socials, you can find me on IG at thelaurenelan and on threads too.

    episode 2: "we're all drops in the ocean"

    Hi friends and welcome back to my podcast, Enough Stuff. On episode 2, I dive in briefly about why I’ve made the changes I’ve made and things you can do if you’re just starting out. I lean heavily into the idea of progress, not perfection. I’m not going to lie, I get a little intense in this episode but I just wanted to hit some things home. I’m always open to feedback, ideas, and thoughts. I’m also looking for guests! If you’d like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me on Instagram/Threads @thelaurenelan and via email at elanlaur@gmail.com. My show is all about open conversation and connection around sustainability, anti-capitalism, what we can be doing differently in this world and activism. This space is a judgement-free zone. I am so excited to see what this year has in store for us! Yes, it seems overwhelming at times but there’s also a lot of hope and change that is afoot. You are part of that and I am here to cheer you on as you go! This is a public episode.
