The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course

According to a recent AARP study, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say: “I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.” Or: “The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” The truth is: We will all have a caregiving story. Let’s make sure yours is one filled with support, empowerment, and peace. That’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a […]

Remember the days of Show & Tell in elementary school? That feeling of having the undivided attention of your classmates as you share something that mattered to you?

It seems like the world has moved on, and it can feel isolating. We want to be in community with you. Here's how it works: This event is virtual, free, and open to everyone. That being said, you don't have to share if you don't want to. […]
