Have you ever wondered what sparks someone to work in the field of death?
In this episode, we chat to my mentor and family death care advocate Sally Cant about her unplanned journey to work in a career surrounded by death and dying - and why that’s not as morbid as it sounds! She also shares how baby boomers have helped pave the way for more open conversations about death, and in turn personalised celebrations.
Sally Cant has done everything there is to do in the Deathcare Space. She’s a Family Death Care Advocate, and to learn what that means, all the layers it includes, tune in and understand what true passion for the family and advocacy looks like. Author, CEO, Trainer, Advocate, Celebrant and Funeral Director, Sally has all the elements to give us such insight into how it all fits together to ensure it’s the family, the loved one, who truly gets looked after in their time of need. Also, you’ll hear about Sally’s own personal perspective on how empathy builds and guides you through your profession, once you have been through something truly challenging.
Sally shares some great experiences about creative funerals, and I’d love to know about the personalised touches you've seen while celebrating a loved one’s life. Share with me over on Instagram at @hashtag_death

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
