DEAD Talks Kat Timpf on Grief, Motherhood & Breaking the Silence Around Death (#190)
TV personality Kat Timpf joins DEAD Talks to share her personal journey through grief after losing her mother to a rare disease, and how that loss shaped her path into motherhood.
In this candid conversation, Kat opens up about:
- The misconceptions of death and grief portrayed in the media
- The comfort (and limits) of religious beliefs when facing loss
- How humor became a powerful coping mechanism
- Her experiences of being judged for her career and personal choices
- The transition into motherhood while carrying the grief of losing her own mom
Blending vulnerability, dark humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Kat reflects on how grief reshapes identity and why breaking the silence around death matters more than ever.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
