Death is my Day Job

In this episode of Death Is My Day Job, Maria sits down with Daniel Silveira — Director of Client Services at First Light Home Care, president of Section on Aging Sonoma County, vice president of MERP, and unofficially (but universally acknowledged) the King of Senior Care in Sonoma County.Together, we explore the wild, wonderful, and occasionally absurd world of aging services, home care, hospice partnerships, and the community systems that keep older adults safe, supported, and laughing through the chaos.Expect leadership gems, dark humor, real‑life care‑manager stories, and a few moments where we admit that senior care, death, and community politics can all be equally dramatic — but also deeply meaningful.This episode is perfect for anyone who loves hospice honesty, home‑care reality, and local leaders who somehow manage twelve roles without losing their crown.

 In this episode of Death Is My Day Job, Maria sits down with Tracy Hinman — care manager for Allegre Home Care, president of MERP, leadership team member for the Section on Aging, and vice president of the Sonoma County Home Care Association. Basically, if it involves aging, caregiving, or preventing total meltdown in Sonoma County, Tracy is either running it, fixing it, or chairing the committee that decides how to fix it.Together, we dive into the gloriously messy world of home care, hospice, aging services, and the community systems that keep older adults safe, supported, and occasionally laughing at the absurdity of it all.This episode is for anyone who loves hospice honesty, home‑care reality, and women who somehow juggle twelve leadership roles without losing their minds.Alegre Home Care: Alegrecare.com, MERP (Medical Equipment Recycling Program): sonomamerp.com, Sonoma County Section On Aging: Sonomasoa.org, Sonoma County Home Care Association:sonomacountyhca.com

In this conversation, Sierra brings her deep yoga practice into the tender spaces where living and dying meet. We explore how breath becomes a bridge, how movement supports grief, and how presence can soften even the hardest transitions. Sierra shares the wisdom she’s gathered from the mat, the community, and her own journey — offering gentle, grounded insights for caregivers, seekers, and anyone learning to stay human in the midst of change.

It’s honest, simple, and the foundation of everything that came after.
