20. From Funemployment to Fulfillment: Life Update

In this episode of the Art2Heart podcast, I return after a year-long hiatus to share updates, reflections on the first season, and exciting new plans. I discuss overcoming initial insecurities about taking center stage and learning the importance of consistent, meaningful content. I provide insights into my transformative experiences volunteering with incarcerated individuals, which led to a fulfilling job with Defy Ventures. Additionally, I reveal my journey in becoming a death doula and the profound lessons learned about life, mortality, and self-discovery. The episode concludes with an announcement of a new offering—a year-long program inspired by Stephen Levine's book 'A Year to Live,' encouraging participants to live intentionally by embracing their mortality.00:00 Welcome Back to Art 2 Heart01:17 Reflecting on Season One04:08 Life Update and New Beginnings05:30 Volunteering and Finding Purpose13:17 Becoming a Death Doula17:05 A Year to Live: Embracing Mortality23:16 Announcing a New Offering25:20 Closing Thoughts and Future PlansSubscribe to my newsletter here for new episodes and A Year to Live updates.Follow Art 2 Heart on Instagram.Add my personal account Instagram.Podcast artwork by Holly Pelletier Clark
