Live Well, Leave Well
My mission is to bring more humanity and connection into how we approach death and dying and to help lessen death anxiety through awareness, preparation, and conversation. I create safe, grounded spaces for honest dialogue because our relationship with death shapes the quality of our life.
Deadicate is here to educate.
“Most of us spend our days learning how to live well, yet few of us learn how to leave well.”
From Loss to Legacy
I speak and teach about death as part of being human. A sacred, shared experience that’s both universal and deeply personal.
For too long, we’ve disconnected from death by outsourcing it to hospitals, to systems and to strangers. It’s time to bring it back into our homes, our language, and our everyday lives by humanising and socialising our experience.
Through my talks, podcasts, guided journeys, and the pages of my upcoming book, I hope to soften the fear around death and ease the burden of all that follows.
Conversations That Change How We Die and How We Choose to Live
Under the philosophy Live Well, Leave Well, I offer 6 key talks that inspire, educate, and empower.
1. Engage an End
of Life Doula
Why end-of-life doulas should be as essential as your GP, plumber or accountant.
2. From Life to Legacy: The Holistic Death Plan
A practical and spiritual roadmap for leaving well.
3. Death and the Algorithm
How AI is reshaping grief, memory and our digital legacy.
4. Talking about Death on the Daily
Bringing end of life conversations back into the home and the heart.
5. Death and the Aftermath
The cost of not preparing and the impact it leaves behind.
6. The Ageing Curve
By 2030, 1 in 6 people will be over 60. Why our aging population makes end-of-life planning more urgent than ever.
