Customer Reviews
Changed the way I think about life
Although this podcast is talking about death, it’s really about living your life with more purpose and intention. From the very first episode, this podcast (and its companion app) have helped me think differently about living in the now right up until the very end. I’ll keep listening thinking about death because the awareness that time is precious is making my life better today.
Stirring!
Lots of helpful and practical wisdom. Hooked, can’t wait for episodes. Thanks, and Wow!! 👍🏼
Helps me help others
