You can watch the video version on YouTube here. We encourage you to do so, like and share, and it really helps if you watch till the end (and we always include a nice surprise bonus at the very end!)

In this enlightening conversation, we meet with Jess Wakefield, a funeral director and end-of-life doula, to explore the evolving landscape of death care. Jess shares her personal journey with death, emphasizing the importance of celebrating lives rather than merely mourning them. The discussion highlights the shifting perspectives in the funeral industry, particularly the increasing role of women and the need for personalized, meaningful farewells. Jess advocates for open conversations about death and the necessity of community support during the grieving process, ultimately viewing death as a natural part of life that should be embraced rather than feared.
