Talking about death might be one of the most loving things we can do. with Mikey the Death Doula

In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined by Mikey the Death Doula for an honest, tender, and surprisingly life-affirming conversation about death — and how our relationship with it shapes the way we live.

We talk about how to gently and compassionately broach conversations around funeral planning and end-of-life wishes with the people we love, and why being organised is one of the greatest gifts we can leave our children and families.

Mikey shares powerful insights into how the way you live directly impacts the way you die, and why learning to receive, be seen, and allow vulnerability with those closest to us is essential — not just at the end of life, but throughout it.

We also explore Mikey’s own journey into this work, what drew him to sit with people in their most sacred moments, and how facing death has profoundly softened, deepened, and enriched his experience of being alive.

This is a conversation about:

  • Death as a teacher, not something to fear
  • Love, presence, and unfinished conversations
  • The courage it takes to be witnessed by those we love
  • Preparing practically and emotionally for the inevitable — with grace

This episode is gentle, grounding, and deeply human.
 If you’ve ever avoided conversations about death, felt unsure how to begin, or sensed there’s a more conscious way to live and leave — this one will stay with you.
