Why We Need to Talk About Death

from Spill Your Guts Hosted by guts.

In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, Hensley, a death coach and founder of Inure Planning, shares how a series of personal losses led her to a career focused on helping people build a healthier relationship with death and dying. She opens up about the emotional and logistical realities of navigating death, including planning her mother’s funeral and witnessing the impact of meaningful vs. disconnected memorials, and how these experiences reshaped the way she thinks about grief, legacy, and living. We discuss practical ways to start conversations about death, alternative end-of-life options, and why planning ahead can be a gift to the people we love. This conversation challenges the idea that talking about death is something to avoid and instead shows how facing it can help us clarify what matters, appreciate our relationships, and live more intentionally.
