What if embracing your mortality was the secret to living with more joy and less regret?

Bestselling author and behavioral change expert Karen Salmansohn brings her signature wit, heart, and no-fluff wisdom to a topic most people avoid: death. But instead of fear or gloom, Karen offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on how getting clear on your mortality can actually help you live more fully.

We discuss what Karen calls “near-life experiences,” explore a powerful practice called death mindfulness, and dive into why writing your own eulogy might just be the most life-giving thing you can do. Karen also shares simple mindset shifts that help you let go of the word should, tune into your purpose, and bring more meaning and presence into your daily life.

• Why writing your own eulogy can help you reconnect with your values
• The surprising role humor plays in healing and creating lasting change
• How to let go of “shoulds” and the “someday” mindset
• Tools to help you find forgiveness and move forward with compassion
