from The Nature Of with Willow Defebaugh · host Alua Arthur

What if remembering we will die is what teaches us how to live? In this episode of The Nature Of, Willow is joined by death doula and New York Times bestselling author, Alua Arthur, to explore how reflecting on our mortality can reshape the way we live. Together, they consider what shifts when we stop looking away, and how that awareness can deepen love and bring our choices into focus. This conversation is a meditation on grief, transformation, and the fierce tenderness of being alive for a limited time.On Living Like a Death Doula: https://atmos.earth/ecological-wisdom/death-doula-alua-arthur/On Matters of Life and Death: https://atmos.earth/ecological-wisdom/matters-of-life-and-death/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
