The Reality of Mortality

A Free Conversation for Everyone Who Will Someday Die

Free ~ Self-Paced Class

We prepare for everything in life—except this.

We learn to cook a meal, manage a budget, and plan for life’s big milestones… but what about death?

10/10 of us will face it, yet we avoid the conversation—leaving ourselves and our loved ones unprepared. I’ve spent years guiding people through this transition, training thousands of death doulas along the way, and speaking on platforms like TEDxMile High,PBS, Forbes and more. And yet, one of the most common things I hear is:

💬 “I wish I had known this sooner.”

That’s why I’m offering this free hour-long conversation—to bring these essential lessons to everyone, not just those in the death industry. This isn’t a class for professionals—it’s for everyday people who simply want to understand death better.
