Year One Rewind: Remember You Are Mortal

Memento mori. Remember that you will one day die. It sounds grim until you have sat in the room where it actually happens, and then it turns into the clearest instruction anybody ever gave you. In this one year anniversary mashup of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden pulls together what her favorite guests have taught her about living like the clock is real. Abbe Large explains the difference between a buffalo and a cow, and why it changes how you handle every hard conversation you have been avoiding. Aree Bly refuses to spend a single day feeling bad about being fifty three. Dr. Mary Alice Mina names the hamster wheel we run on when we are frightened of aging. Theo Boyd asks why we put a gag order on grief, and what stories people will tell when you are gone. Lindsey Goldstein says keep your eye on the prize. Christine Despres reminds us we can impact this life no matter the cards we're dealt. Erin Trier sagely observes the value of slowing down & focusing on what matters most. Anissa Hudak was frank to say we don't have to live just stay stuck, we've still years to rise! And Margaret Pasquesi, who brings live harp to the bedside of the dying, says the line Tami calls the spine of this entire show: our power is in our presence, not our productivity.   Sister, if you have been postponing the conversation, the apology, the trip, or the truth, this is the episode Tami says she would keep if she could keep only one. 🦋 Connect with Abbe Large: Lenox Advisors & LinkedIn 🦋 Connect with Aree Bly: Website, Book: The Sustainable Brain & LinkedIn 🦋 Connect with Lindsey Goldstein: Website, Book: Gap Year, Substack, Instagram & Threads 🦋 Connect with Erin Trier: Website, Empowered in Health Podcast, Instagram & LinkedIn 🦋 Connect with Dr. Mary Alice Mina: Website, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn & The Skin Real App 🦋 Connect with Margaret Pasquesi: Website, LinkedIn, Facebook & Music-Thanatology Association International 🦋 Connect with Theo Boyd: Website, Book: My Grief Is Not Like Yours, Book: Hope All the Way, Podcast, Instagram & Facebook 🦋 Connect with Christine Despres: Website, Brain Health Quiz & Instagram 🦋 Connect with Anissa Hudak: Speaking, Phoenix Women Healing, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram & Facebook 🦋 Subscribe to Tami Jorden's Substack and visit her website 🦋   🦋 More from Butterfly Days: Substack: https://tamijorden.substack.com/ Website: https://tamijorden.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamara-jorden-322918227/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ASQDpGEUX/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/butterflydayspodcast
