Ep 223: You Only Die Once (a conversation about living with Jodi Wellman)

10 Things To Tell You

Jodi Wellman is focused on death. And she wants you to think about it more, too.

Death is (clearly) not a popular topic, and something most of us avoid thinking about at all costs. But Jodi believes that knowing you have something to lose can help you live like you mean it. Her new book You Only Die Once: How To Make It To The End With No Regrets can walk you through making the most of your time on this earth.

In this episode, author and speaker Jodi Wellman shares 5 ways to live like you're dying:

  1. Count your Mondays (quantifying your time can be remarkably clarifying)
  2. Diagnose the dead zones (areas in life that feel dead inside)
  3. Identify your deathbed pre-grets (regrets-in-the-making that can still be course-corrected)
  4. Live wider (with vitality) and deeper (with meaning): identify a list of enlivening endeavors 
  5. Pick one small thing to take action on at a time
