What if talking about death actually helped us live better?

In this powerful episode of the Gratitude Geek Podcast, host Kandas Rodarte sits down with Nikki Smith, an INELDA-certified death doula and grief coach, to explore the often-avoided topic of dying—and why it's time to stop pretending we’ll live forever.

Nikki shares:

  • How a death doula supports the dying and their loved ones

  • What practical tools—like checklists—can ease grief and prevent family conflict

  • Why casseroles aren’t the only way to help a grieving friend

  • How talking openly about death can help us appreciate life more

  • What midlife women in business need to know about legacy and medical advocacy

Whether you're planning for yourself or a loved one, this episode is your permission slip to start the conversation—because the business of dying is very much about how we choose to live.

Listen in and learn:

  • The surprising role of a death doula

  • How to prepare for end-of-life with intention

  • What to do before the casseroles start showing up
