EP 354: How to Be Death Neutral (and Why It Makes Life Lighter) with Hannah Gould

In this episode, I'm joined by the fabulous Hannah Gould, Melbourne University lecturer and author of How to Die in the 21st Century. Together, we explore a topic that many of us avoid, but in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and even a little bit light.

We talk about what happens when we actually turn toward the idea of death instead of pushing it away, and how doing so can bring a surprising sense of calm. This conversation is an invitation to look at something often seen as heavy or uncomfortable and discover that it can actually create more peace, perspective, and presence in your life.

If you've ever felt uneasy thinking about death, avoided the topic altogether, or struggled with loss and not knowing how to process it, this episode will support you in a really beautiful way.

We talk about:

• Why talking about death can actually reduce anxiety, not increase it
• What "death neutral" means, and why it can feel like relief
• The hidden ways death avoidance shows up in high-functioning women
• How to talk about death and grieving when no one knows how
