Born to Die

Education EN ↓ 4 episodes

We are all going to die, so we should talk about it. We are Jenny and Crystal, friends, moms, wives, and fellow mortal beings. On Born To Die we dive into any and all topics related to death and dying. We will approach each story, and each episode, with curiosity, compassion, and hopefully some humor. We will confront the uncomfortable and uncanny. We will interview experts and people with experience. We will research topics. We will have candid conversations. Along the way we want to emphasize the beauty and value of life. We hope you join us as we cry, laugh, and LIVE!
