Having Conversations about Death and Dying
09/26/22 • 55 min
If you were to die tomorrow, would your family about your wishes for the next step? If your loved one was diagnosed with a terminal illness and they had only a small amount of time left, what would your final conversation sound like? What would you say? What would you ask? One thing that will impact us all no matter our age, gender, race, or socio-economic status, is death, for death is a natural part of life. And yet, we hesitate to talk about it, despite it being among the most important conversations we should have with our family.
Carin Mikos talks about her experiences as a death doula and some of the most important lessons she has learned. A death doula is someone who helps people nearing death prepare emotionally and spiritually. They are also known as an end-of-life doula, a transition guide, a soul midwife, a death midwife, or a death coach. Carin has been a registered nurse for almost 25 years and has spent the past 3 years as a hospice nurse. She recently established a death doula consulting business with the goal of serving the needs of families and their loved ones as they transition.
Listen as Jennifer Furlong and Carin Mikos discuss why you should talk with your loved ones about death and how you might approach the conversation if you're uncomfortable doing so.

Elevate Your Voice, Elevate Your Career
Did you know that using your authentic voice (the range of pitches that come from your diaphragm) makes you easier to listen to? Think about it. There are some people you could listen to all day, while there are others you can barely stand to listen to for 2 minutes. Do you ever wonder if there’s a science behind that? Those who have learned to use their authentic voice appear confident and in control through bold and intentional speaking. You can learn to do this also!
Jennifer Furlong interviews Susan Murphy, voice coach and founder of VOSOT: Better Broadcast Voices. Susan has been in the broadcast industry for over 40 years with experience as a radio news director, TV news reporter, and “weather girl” (back when they called them that)! She has also been a talk show host and producer for radio, a public television producer and on-air personality, a college dean and instructor, and a voiceover artist. Susan now focuses her talents on helping TV anchors and reporters develop their optimum broadcast voice.
Take a listen to Jen and Susan as they discuss how you too can tap into your authentic speaking voice and why you should.
