Most of us spend our lives avoiding two things — discomfort and death. Yet in that avoidance we miss the very liberation and beauty that are already here.

In this conversation, returning guest BE Alink challenges the Western obsession with prolonging life and clinging to comfort. She shares how our fear of mortality has become a kind of cancer in society, keeping us trapped in consumption and distraction instead of waking us up to the simple truth — nothing is permanent, and that is what makes life so precious.

From her own childhood loss to the insights of other cultures that celebrate death rather than fear it, BE points us back to the cyclical nature of life. Death is not the end. Discomfort is not a problem. Both are doorways to growth, creativity, and presence.

If you have ever felt weighed down by fear of loss or trapped by the need to hold on, this conversation will help you see how letting go brings freedom.
