05/31/22 • 30 min

Happy May, death workers! Today, you are in for a special treat because I had the honor of speaking with Yunan Kirkbride, also known as @death.witch.envy on social media, about death witchcraft. Whether you’re a practicing witch or completely unfamiliar with this spiritual path, there’s something for every death positive person in this episode. Yunan’s work has been so essential to my own personal deathwork, and it is such a joy to have her on my podcast.
Each episode, I try to expand my own knowledge on the world of death, loss and grief. You and I are on this journey together. In this episode, we are journeying into the magical world of death witchcraft. Some questions addressed in the interview include:

  • What exactly is death witchcraft?
  • What are some misconceptions surrounding this spiritual path?
  • How can death witchcraft help us become more death positive people?

Beyond the Veil - Love in the Time of Loss & Grief
play

02/12/22 • 47 min

In this month’s episode, Lauren is joined by her first guest, Irene Ouyang. Come hang out with us as we chat about how our past relationships influence our current romantic partnerships, dealing with friendship loss the closer we get to our thirties, and learning from romantic break-ups in ways that make us better people.
It is not only the death of people that results in grief. We are shaped and molded by the death of a relationship, whether romantic or platonic. As in the case of ambiguous loss, sometimes we grieve people who are still alive.
Tarot card deck mentioned: The Macabre Tarot deck by Samantha West

Today we are discussing the classic Tim Burton film Corpse Bride, one of my all-time favorite films, through the unique lens of death, loss and grief. We are going to get deep into the symbolism of this film in order to see what gems of wisdom and knowledge we can glean about coping with life when things don't go "according to plan." It’s all about reflecting, growing and getting closer to death acceptance.
