About this episode

What if the greatest lessons about life came from those who are facing the end of it? In this episode, grief expert David Kessler shares what he’s learned from over 20 years of guiding people through their final transition. We explore how fear holds us back from truly living, why processing grief is key to a meaningful life, and how our relationships —especially the challenging ones— teach us the most about ourselves.


This conversation reminds us that it’s never too late to embrace life and cherish the moments that truly matter. Share this episode with someone who needs this reminder today!


In this episode, you'll find information about:


  • How “grieving well” helps us move forward with purpose.
  • How fear holds us back and practical steps to overcome it.
  • Why embracing both big and small moments brings meaning to life.
