My reasons for becoming an End-of-life doula

Death is a conversation most of us avoid—but what if we didn’t have to? In this episode, I share the deeply personal reasons behind my decision to train as an end-of-life doula. 🌿 I’ll talk about the profound experience of witnessing my uncle’s peaceful transition in hospice care and how it shaped my view of death. 🌿 I’ll explore the parallels between birth and death, and how our modern detachment from these natural processes has fueled unnecessary fear. 🌿 I’ll explain why I want to show up for my loved ones with courage and knowledge when their time comes. 🌿 And finally, why I believe we only get one chance to do death well—and why I want to make that moment as supported and meaningful as possible. This episode isn’t just about my journey—it’s an invitation for you to start a new relationship with death. Let’s get curious, lean into the discomfort, and create more space for love, support, and connection in life’s final chapter. Tune in and join the conversation. It’s time to face death with open hearts and open minds. #EndOfLifeDoula #TalkingAboutDeath #CuriousNotAfraid #DeathAndDying #TheDoulaJohannaPodcast
