In this episode, Steven talks with death doula Alua Arthur about how to prepare for the end of life before it becomes an emergency, and why doing so is one of the most generous things you can do for the people you love.

They walk through what end-of-life planning actually entails: wills, advance directives, healthcare proxies, power of attorney, medical decisions, and how to have these conversations with your family before a crisis forces them. Alua breaks down what matters most, what’s often misunderstood, and where people tend to get stuck.

This grounded, honest conversation about mortality also explores grief, regret, family dynamics, and why so many end-of-life choices are made for the comfort of the living rather than the wishes of the dying.  Alua explains how you can find peace from planning, break through this award subject with loved ones, and maybe even  live life a little more mindfully.
