I share true, emotional, and often hilarious stories from my years in the death care industry to help people reflect, plan, and connect more deeply with life. Some stories will make you laugh. Others will make you cry. But all of them will make you think.

I work with organizations, associations, and communities to spark conversations around end-of-life planning in a way that is engaging, approachable, and even uplifting.
