“If you die before you die, you won’t die when you die.”

– Inscription over a door at St. Paul’s Monastery on Mount Athos

Death is a vital part of life. It marks the end of every day and season. It’s present in every exhale and goodbye. It guides you through all your life transitions.

We experience many deaths in life – careers, relationships, beliefs, identities. Each life transition invites us to shed the familiar and to step into the unknown.

Death initiates you into change – the only constant in life. Without it, there would be no growth, no new chapters, no expansion, no transformation.

Each of us are the heroes in our own journeys. We face our fears as we walk into these death portals, shedding old skins, and re-emerge anew. We do this many times in a lifetime. Our stories hold deep wisdom and offer healing.

As a storyteller and entheogenic death companion, I walk daily with brave souls through death and rebirth.

My intention with this podcast is to share vulnerable stories of death, in all the ways we experience death portals in this human life – death of loved ones, identities, life stages, careers, parts of our bodies, health, dreams and expectations of our lives, relationships, innocence…the list is truly endless.

So I invite you to enter this portal of discovery with me. Together, let’s break our fearful silence and uplift our stories of death and grief.

Let’s be inspired to live our lives, LOUD.

Welcome to Mum.
