In today's episode, Stacey opens up about her mother-in-law's recent passing through a very open and honest exploration of death with the expert Dr. Martha Jo Atkins, the author of Sign Posts of Dying: What You Need to Know and an expert in helping individuals and loved ones walk through the extraordinary sacredness of a person's passing.

Not only does Stacey share her personal experience, both Martha Jo and she explore the very tenderness of our own fears around death and how to show up for someone we love who is dying.

Listen in as the two share:

• their experiences with death and the places where they both discovered more life as they leaned in to the fears of death

• gentle practices to support loved ones and care-givers who are navigating someone's death

• the truth about the chaos and unsettledness that sometimes comes with a person's death

• energy work and intuitive gifts that create sacred moments for the dying journey (plus more about Martha Jo's work with individuals through her ⁠D-School⁠) https://marthajoatkins.com/dschool

As much as we can be scared to get closer to death, Martha Jo teaches us that is one of the most life-affirming journeys there is. And that there is a place for our fears, our grief, our vulnerability and our big beautiful hearts too.
