Manage episode 482571986 series 30505
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
