E31. Dancing with Death: A Conversation with a Death Doula

from Healthful Roots · host Dr. Victoria Andarcia

Death is the one appointment we all keep—and yet, it’s the one topic most of us avoid. In this episode, I sit down with Lara Acemyan, a death doula from @floridaangelcare to talk candidly about what it really means to hold space at the end of life. We explore the art of dying well, how a death doula supports individuals and families through one of life’s most vulnerable transitions, and why getting comfortable talking about death might be one of the most important things you ever do. We also dive into the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of preparing for death, and how embracing mortality can actually enrich the way we choose to live. If you’ve ever felt awkward talking about death—or curious, or even a little scared—this conversation is for you. Listen in and let’s get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
