#26 My interview with Lucy Taylor on death awareness and going beyond showreel culture

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into another episode! As you might know I am really interested in grief and death work and so was absolutely thrilled to speak to Lucy Taylor for this episode. It was really enriching to talk through some of our ideas and observations in the small online business and coaching world and I would love to hear what you think after listening! Here is some of what we talked about: - How we need to let old ways of doing things die- The showreel culture of instagram and how we might go beyond it- Allowing our whole selves to show up- Staying emotionally open and engaged in times of decay and death- Things we feel are missing from the coaching world As a Death Awareness Coach, Lucy facilitates meaningful experiences for individuals and entrepreneurs to engage their relationship with death and loss as a path to wholeness and acceptance. Within her personal coaching, she supports people who are transitioning through a space of what ‘was’, towards what is yet to emerge. Through her business mentoring program Human On Purpose, Lucy guides coaches and purpose-driven entrepreneurs to prioritise truth and humanness as they create and communicate their business. www.lucymaytaylor.com Instagram: @lucymaytaylor (www.instagram.com/lucymaytaylor/) :: About me and the DIY Small Business podcast :: I am a web designer, small business mentor and tech fairy who helps people start and run small businesses that are fun to work in and make enough money for things that matter.
