Manage episode 461966259 series 3582170
Death. We’ve been there in Season 1 and we’re going there again in Season 2. Death and disruption … let’s talk about it.
Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me.
In this episode, join Anita McLachlan (flying solo as host - Erica was in another important call) as she chats with End of Life Doula Jacqui Williams about where we die and whether it matters. You will hear:
* Why we need to educate people about their options regarding death.
* Why planning for death is essential, but expectations may not always align with reality.
* How conversations about death should happen early and often.
* Why not everyone will have the opportunity to die at home, and that's okay.
* The tools and resources are available to help families navigate end-of-life care.
We’re so glad you’re here. It’s time to live life on your terms. It’s time for Midlife Unfiltered.
