Episode notes

This episode is about finding meaning in sudden death. We spent four hours recording this episode, and the output is only two hours because it was extremely emotional. If you are going through a grieving period, or you're simply not ready to listen to difficult topics like suicide, mental health or sexual abuse, we completely understand. On the other hand, if you think that someone could really benefit from this episode, please share with them. Even if you aren't grieving, you likely know someone that is and may want to support them in that process.

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.
