How knowing we will die, teaches us to live

from Finding Yourself in Motherhood · host Andrea Gunnell

In this thought-provoking episode, I explore how our awareness of mortality can transform the way we live. Drawing inspiration from Michael Singer's "The Untethered Soul," I ask the question: What if today were your last day on earth? How would you spend it, who would you call, and what would suddenly matter most?I share personal stories about confronting mortality, including my experience as a young mother, alongside wisdom from spiritual leaders who have faced death with remarkable peace. This isn't a morbid conversation but rather an invitation to use death as our greatest teacher—showing us how to prioritize relationships, find meaning in everyday moments, and live with intention.Join me as we explore how embracing our impermanence might be the key to living our most authentic, purposeful lives. Whether you actively contemplate mortality or tend to avoid the subject, this episode offers gentle guidance for using death awareness as a pathway to a more meaningful life.
