The InnerView with Mitra & Ben

38. Exploring the Hidden Lessons of Death

Ben Dadbin, Mitra Manesh

Are you faced with the anticipation of death of someone or something in your life?

In this episode, we sit with the mystery of death—not just the death of a person, but all the endings and transitions that life asks of us. Mitra and Ben explore how our relationship with dying—in all its forms—can shape the way we live, love, and let go. From quiet reflections to surprising truths, the conversation unfolds with curiosity and warmth. It’s an invitation to listen in, not just with your ears, but with your whole being.


What You’ll Learn: 

  • A deeper understanding of how our resistance to endings might be shaping our lives.
  • Practical ways to soften your fear around death—whether it’s of a person, a dream, or a version of yourself.
  • Understand the difference between health grieving and unhealthy grieving.


If you’re someone who ….

  • Is going through a deep personal loss currently, 
  • Is going through a major career shift, 
  • Is moving homes to a brand new city/country

…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!
