Plan Your End-of-Life Experience

Planning for death is not about giving up on life. It is about reclaiming agency, clarity, and peace. In this episode, Darnell Lamont Walker walks listeners through the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of end of life planning in a way that feels human, accessible, and deeply compassionate.Through moving client stories and personal reflection, Darnell explores what it means to choose a healthcare proxy, communicate your wishes clearly, prepare loved ones for difficult decisions, and create an end of life experience that reflects your values. The episode also dives into memorial wishes, rituals, legacy planning, forgiveness, family dynamics, and the practical details that often create chaos when left unspoken. Rather than treating planning as a cold legal exercise, this episode reframes it as one of the most loving conversations we can have with ourselves and the people we care about.Order your copy of Never Can Say Goodbye: The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End ⁠here⁠ or wherever you buy your books and audiobooks.
