Sacred Sunsets I Grief, Death, End-of-Life, Inspiring Life Stories, Latter-Day Saint, Christian
Imagine the end of your life, looking back and reminiscing about all that has occurred, all that you’ve learned, what meaning it all had. Have you fulfilled all your dreams? Do you have regrets? What could you have done differently? What things were most important? What legacy do you hope you’ve left behind?
Two things we as humans have in common are that we are born into this world, and we will pass on from this world. So often though, we get caught in the hustle and bustle of life and just survive every day. Did we take the time to really get to know and cherish our newborn child? Did we stop to play with or listen to our toddlers when they needed our attention? Did we show up at all their crossroads through their growing up years? How about the love and devotion for the grandkids? Did we give our spouse all the love and devotion they deserved as well as the support they needed through the hard times? Were we there as a listening ear for our friends? Did we take time to continually be in our parents’ lives and give them the care and support they needed as they aged and became less and less able to care for themselves? How did we handle the grief of the losses we’ve faced along the way? What is our view on life and death? Are we scared to die? Did we truly live?
In this podcast we will have in depth conversations with the goal of guiding listeners through an embodied life evolution, by transforming grief into hope and peace, and preparing for the end of life with tranquility and acceptance. Through insightful discussions, my hope is that listeners will be empowered to embrace life’s journey with mindfulness and strength, illuminating the path of personal growth, spiritual reflection, and legacy creation, enabling each person to live fully, love deeply, and transition peacefully, leaving a legacy of grace and inspiration.
As an aside: I want to make note that though this podcast was originally started in June 2024, it has led in a few different directions. First, it aired as The Embodied Grace podcast which was all interviews on grace and identity as a child of God. I then realized that it might be difficult to create a coaching program around this and as I began paying for my own coaching program on optimizing this podcast for business, I renamed it From Ashes to Grace with the subject matter being trauma. However, The drive for that died out quickly. I missed interviewing people and between losses I’ve had in my own life, losses my husband has had in his recent life, and with my getting back into hospice nursing, I have really found a passion for helping others through grief, through supporting and educating on end of life, and with those things making mortality feel very real, I also look forward to helping others build a life they love, that they can avoid the common regrets at the end of life.
Since Christmas 2024, I’ve been speaking on grief and my initial coaching offering will be around grief with goals to expand to the other areas in the near future. This episode is airing on March 20, 2025 and the official rebranding will likely be in the next week or two
This is the next chapter for this podcast, from here on known as Sacred Sunsets. I can’t wait for this new journey we’re embarking on together!
