Episode Description
Death is often a subject not talked about, even with our closest loved ones. Everybody has experienced death differently. The one thing we do know for sure in this world is we are all going to die. But, another thing we also know for sure is we are all going to live. Why are we so afraid of our timeline? What is it we’re actually afraid of? How often do you think about death?
We often think what’s the worst that could happen? They can die. If that happens, then what do you do? There is a desire for control where there is no control. Let’s stop focusing on death and focus on living. We are powerless, so let’s change the conversation.
Let’s soak up every possible moment we have and live without intrusive thoughts. Life and death are equally beautiful. Even if we were given the answers to our questions, would we actually want to know?
Join Nina & Anna on today's episode as they make space to change the conversation around death and encourage listeners to investigate the beauty that lies at the end of a lifetime.
