Just because you're dead, doesn't mean you can't give back to society! Far from it. You could donate your organs and save a life or even provide a new face for a victim of primate aggression. Or you could donate the whole tamale to science and become a buffet of discovery! The adventure doesn't stop at death people. Join us as we explore the life of a cadaver!

On this week's episode we chat with Amelia, a death doula! She describes how she got into death care, what not to say to a dying person, what most people's final moments look like and her thoughts on the afterlife. Amelia was such a beautiful light and we loved hearing what she had to say. We really believe that talking about death can make life so much sweeter!

With so much great stuff happening, you could be forgiven for not wanting to talk about death. But you should not put off dealing with death. 

How do you prepare for death? What do you think about death? This is the topic of today’s conversation. What should you leave behind for loved ones? What will your legacy look like?

“I think one of the things is we don't as a society, we don't talk about it [death] enough. We don't think about it enough. And we kind of stumble upon it when it's thrown upon us.”

And right now, in the midst of the COVID crisis, we are having to deal with death on a near daily basis. So what can you do when you can’t follow your traditional rituals? When the people you would ordinarily turn to for advice and guidance during these difficult times aren’t available? 

In the companies section of the podcast we talk about the wealth of amazing companies, apps and online resources we’ve found that make the whole dealing with death process much more manageable. And in the top tips section we discuss Replika.ai, where you can find a friend using AI, and the benefits of the Oura Ring. 

It’s a jam packed episode, make sure you have a pen and paper to hand!
