One of the few absolute truths for every one of us is that death is inevitable, yet it’s a taboo topic that many of us avoid discussing. But can planning for your own death actually bring peace of mind and even make you live a more fulfilling life?

In this eye-opening episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Alua Arthur—a New York Times bestselling author, death doula, and founder of Going with Grace. We dive into those often avoided but unavoidable topics: death, dying, and grief. Drawing from her book Briefly Perfectly Human, she reveals how confronting our mortality can actually lead to a richer, more intentional life. Tune in to discover why facing these tough topics can be transformative and how a death doula plays a pivotal role in navigating the end of life with grace and meaning.
