Death on the Daily Tripp & Jessica Tillery: Breaking the Taboo - How planning for our death empowers life
In this episode of Death on the Daily, I’m joined by Tripp and Jessica Tillery, co-founders of The Deadbook. We explore how planning and conversations around our wishes for our death and our estates can bring peace, clarity, and a sense of empowerment. Discussing how this truly is one of the greatest gifts we can leave to our loved ones at a time when they need space to grieve. Plus how essential it really is, since you know... 100% of us will die in the end. We dive into the emotional and practical steps of preparing for the inevitable and offer insights on how you can navigate these often-avoided topics, from talking with young children to tackling estate logistics. We discuss: * The cultural aversion to death and its impact on families. * Why it's crucial to start conversations about death early, even with kids. * Practical tips for beginning estate planning, including discussing emotional fears and logistical needs. * The importance of organising your wishes to avoid family strife, confusion and lots of work to untangle everything after your death. * How The Deadbook can help make this process simple, approachable and… even enjoyable (trust me on that one). * Final words of wisdom for those ready to take the first step toward planning for death with grace.
