From Viking funerals to near-death misses, ghostly revenge missions to funeral-crashing confessions, this conversation covers it all—with the kind of honesty that makes you laugh one minute and reflect the next.They talk about how personal experiences (or lack of them) shape how we view death, the fear (or lack of fear) around dying, and the strange, often awkward social rituals around funerals and grief. Angela shares her take on premonitions and energetic imprints, while Juliet reflects on how losing multiple grandparents shifted her sense of time and mortality. They also touch on spiritual beliefs, what not to say to someone who’s grieving, and how different cultures handle death far more openly than we do in the UK.This isn’t a gloomy conversation—it’s warm, curious, and full of surprising wisdom. Whether you avoid the topic altogether or find yourself grappling with questions of mortality, this episode reminds you that talking about death can actually be a powerful act of life.
