Another week, another inspiring Milwaukee woman. 

Death and taxes - the two certainties of life, right? So why is it so hard for us to talk about it? It’s not for this week’s guest. Shantell Riley is the owner and founder of Dignity With Departure, where she works with clients to navigate end of life decisions, details, and stages from a holistic viewpoint. Shantell also runs the monthly Death Cafe MKE, a safe space for facilitated conversation around death and dying (and also LIVING!). Listen as we talk about how important it is to bring death out into the open, to appreciate the gift that it gives us, and to prepare for its coming. (yes, even if you don’t think it’s anywhere near your time).
