Death. We don’t talk about it, but why? It’s the one guarantee for all of us in life, so why don’t we go there?
Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me.
In this episode, join co hosts Anita McLachlan and Erica Webb as they tread where so many are unwilling to go. You will hear:
> Why discussing death is so challenging despite its inevitability
> How death experiences have shaped Anita’s and Erica’s lives and perspectives
> The emotional complexities surrounding the topic of death
> The potential benefits of opening up conversations about mortality.
We’re so glad you’re here. It’s time to live life on your terms. It’s time for Midlife Unfiltered.
