Ep. 10 S1 - When Death or Loss Happens, How Emma Beattie Invites us to Prepare, Adapt, and Respond Authentically
What if the key to navigating loss and grief isn't to move past it quickly but to embrace it fully, allowing ourselves to feel and heal authentically?
In this deeply moving episode, we're joined by Emma Beattie, founder of Before and After Life and a passionate voice for social change. Emma is reimagining how individuals, communities, and workplaces can better prepare for, adapt to, and respond to the profound impacts of caring, dying, and grieving.
She shares her own journey through grief, offering heartfelt insights into how we can navigate loss with grace, authenticity, and even moments of joy and connection amidst the pain. Emma speaks candidly about the emotional complexities of loss, emphasising the importance of self-compassion and the danger of avoiding difficult emotions. Instead of rushing to “fix” grief, she invites us to experience it fully - honouring the truth of our emotions.
Emma also encourages us to rethink our relationship with death - not as something to fear or avoid, but as a natural part of life that we can consciously prepare for. Too often, we delay these conversations, unintentionally leaving behind confusion and burden. Emma empowers us to face death with clarity and courage, making choices now that honour ourselves and those we love.
Whether you're grieving, supporting someone through loss, or simply seeking to understand the deeper layers of the human experience, this conversation offers meaningful insights and practical tools for navigating life’s hardest moments with resilience and heart.
It’s time to reimagine how we approach grief, loss, and healing. This conversation will leave you feeling lighter, more connected, and inspired to live - and die - with greater intention
