A Year to Live
Welcome to A Year to Live | Apprenticeship of the Unknown What if you lived this next year like it was your last? A Year to Live is a podcast about mortality, living fully, and embracing the unknown. Host David Morin—former sales professional turned poet, death doula, and prison facilitator—shares raw conversations with friends, clients, and loved ones navigating deep transitions. Some episodes may be unscripted, often recorded phone calls, exploring what it means to surrender, wake up, and live on purpose. Inspired by the book A Year to Live by Stephen Levine, this is an independent project rooted in personal experience. It invites you to apprentice yourself to the unknown and follow the quiet voice within.
