 This week I'm getting a little vulnerable with you guys and sharing something personal that happened. I'm talking about the ugliness of end of life planning. I've heard stories about the ugliness after someone dies, but never really about the awful stuff that happens when you're trying to help someone plan.

What is a good death and how do we plan one? This is what we will be talking about in today's episode. Obviously we can't totally plan our death, but by talking about our wishes and what our loved ones' wishes are, we can plan for the best death possible. This week I share with you the two main reasons I feel that we don't talk about death. The book I reference in this episode is "With the End in...

Today, we're talking about grief. We'll talk about the stages of grief, but learn that there's no "one size fits all" grief journey. We all grieve differently and that's ok.
