[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In today\u2019s episode, we speak with Robin Norcross who specializes in helping people find comfort in the uncomfortable \u2013 guiding conversations about mortality, unfinished business, and the emotional truths we often leave unsaid.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the loss of a pet, a grandparent, or the quiet realization that time is finite, Robin believes these moments can be invitations\u2014not just to grieve, but to grow. And that by normalizing conversations about death, we can live more intentionally, love more deeply, and leave less unsaid.<\/p>\n

Join us to learn about what it means to face our own mortality and why doing so might just be the most life-affirming thing we can do.<\/p>\n

This conversation touches on topics and experiences that may be sensitive for some listeners and may bring up strong emotions. Listener discretion is advised.
