Teaching Death Care With Heart

from Friends from Wild Places · host Shireen Botha/Tanya Scotece ft Jennifer Lares

Death care looks “quiet” from the outside, but the work is technical, emotional, and relentless and the biggest challenge is often the one nobody admits: not having access to the training you need when a real case demands it. We sit down with Jennifer, the educator and business owner behind Mulling Mortician, to talk about how funeral service professionals actually learn, where skill gaps come from, and what it takes to close them without shame.Jennifer LaresWebsite: Mullingmortician.comTel: +1 352-509-6273Email: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-lares-a09163302We also go behind the brand. Why “mortuary Mary Poppins” fits, how a lighter tone can humanize a profession people stereotype, and what resistance looks like in an industry with gatekeeping tendencies. Then we shift to leadership and mental health: self management, time blocking, the Eisenhower matrix, and the power of “no” as a complete sentence when your creative energy is running out.Join us as we support Operation Solace this month!If you care about better training, better tools, and better care, subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review so more funeral professionals can find the conversation.Send us Fan MailBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEShireen's Bookkeeping Services LLCOutsourcing your bookkeeping to Shireen’s Bookkeeping Services can save you time and money.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
