Death is inevitable — yet many of us avoid thinking or talking about it until we’re forced to. In this episode, Chris and Jen explore the fear of death, cultural and philosophical perspectives on mortality, and how facing our impermanence can help us live with greater intention, peace, and gratitude. 

They delve into the fear surrounding death, the rituals that help cope with loss, and the philosophical views that can shape our understanding of mortality. The discussion emphasizes the need to live fully and authentically, preparing for death while cherishing life.
