Episode notes

Howard: "He showed me that impact happens at the individual person level. And you don't always know the ways in which it will manifest, but if you approach things from that perspective, you're going to have an impact" In some ways, like he didn't die from that perspective. He continued on. That's what howard would want. If that makes sense, ily make sense.

Death is universal part of the human experience. During our lives, we often must confront the painful reality of death around us, and eventually, we face that reality ourselves.

What's odd is that despite death being at the core of the human experience, many people avoid talking or thinking about it. So when people pass away or we face a health scare that brings us into contact with the fragility of life, we often don't know what to do.

In this episode, Calvin shares his experience with the death of two close loved ones: his mentor and his mom. He dives into the depths of those experiences, whether it's choosing to take his mother off life support or the psychedelic experience that helped him process his guilt. And most importantly, he shares what he's learned from years of grieving.

We hope this episode serves as a jumping off point for people to speak more openly about death and to connect with the many people that have lost a close loved one.

As a disclaimer: If you are unable to listen to difficult topics like suicide, mental health, or sexual abuse, please do not listen to this episode.
