What if talking about death could make life feel richer? In this episode, death doula & inner-journey facilitator Myrthe Peters (Full Circle Doula) joins us to explore grief, altered states, and practical ways to meet endings with courage, agency, and a regulated nervous system. We unpack myths about death, grief, what “holding space” really means, and how respectful work with mushrooms can support reconnection to the body.
Most people avoid the conversation: 92% of Americans say end-of-life talks are important, yet only 32% have had one.
You’ll learn:
Gentle, real-world ways to begin death conversations at your pace.
How fear of death quietly shapes daily choices—and how to reclaim agency.
Where plant medicine may (and may not) help in grief and integration.
The biggest regret of the dying and how can we walk towards life's super elixir

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
