More Moss to the People

Åsa Nilsson

I am intentionally *working* on slowing down the pace of my life so that I can be present for the life I am actually living. NOW. Today. Not one day or another day but To-Day.


The day's are going to pass at lighting speed regardless. So why not sit in the moment and enjoy the meal in front of me? Drive my car in the slow lane. Walk for the enjoyment of hearing my feet sink into the moss underneath my feet in the forest that I am walking through? Be in the conversation I am having versus thinking about where I have to go next.


Connecting through being present in my own life. That's where this conversation is going and I'm ready for some more of this!


Come, share your story with me ... let's help one another to see there's more than one way of doing this thing called 'life'.

“It’s not just called DEATH CLEANING, It’s called LIFE CLEANING too.”
14-06-2024
“It’s not just called DEATH CLEANING, It’s called LIFE CLEANING too.”
GUEST: Thomas Kindberg, my beloved husbandTITLE OF EPISODE: “It’s not just called DEATH CLEANING, It’s called LIFE CLEANING too.”SUMMARY OF EPISODE: June 11th, 2024, marked a significant milestone for our family: Thomas and I proudly launched our Swedish Death Cleaning and Decluttering business, More Moss. Less Mess.This dream has been a long time in the making, and now it's finally a reality.Thomas prefers to stay out of the spotlight, shying away from public speaking and attention. Convincing him to join me on the podcast was a challenge, but I promised it would be quick and that I’d handle most of the talking.My goal was to introduce you to Thomas, the other half of our business, so you could see what our team brings to the table.Listening back, I realized I dominated the conversation, often speaking over him. While this is how we work—I’m more vocal, and he’s more reserved—I wanted to make him comfortable and keep the episode brief for his sake. Still, it was important for you to meet him again.Our mission is to normalize Swedish Death Cleaning, turning it into a regular conversation rather than a daunting task. We aim to make the process of dealing with death less intimidating and more accepted as a natural part of life.Thank you for being part of this journey with us.Åsa and ThomasIN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:June 11th it’s a big day for us. Why? Reminder that I am taking July off from podcasting, RADICAL SABBATICAL.Thomas is now working with me and Swedish Death Cleaning + DeCluttering. Where has he been the past 35 years? Too many people are unhappy in their work and their lives.Society has changed very fast, what can that be based on? Thomas interests lie in the world, news, economy, geography. Åsa and Thomas disagree about how we can or can not make a difference.Saw the beauty of social media in the initial intent for which it was created today.Community. People helping people.Thomas thinks it can be ego driven.The ‘More Moss to the People’ movement and going back to a simple life. Western world problems, psychological stress, kids feeling like shit. Coming back to what’s important. We have to stop over consuming. 95% of wares in Sweden are recycled. Values. Our ground pillars. Feeling more versus having more.Not pessimistic to speak about death, we consider it optimistic.We leave no mess behind.Having safe conversations about this. Circular economy, life cleaning not just death cleaning.You can be 31 years old and do death cleaning.Thomas is my Muscles from Brussels. He will be a big help with moving things down, out and around for our future clients. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Swedbank. https://www.swedbank.se/The first time Thomas appeared on the podcast: Season 1, Episode 9 WHERE CAN YOU FIND THOMAS?Certainly not on social media! Ha!

Life’s too short to think too much.
HOST: Åsa NilssonTITLE OF EPISODE: Life’s too short to think too much. SUMMARY OF EPISODE:As a self professed ‘overthinker’, I have been training myself little by little over these past few years to see things differently. To experience life from other perspectives and it has helped me to find MY joy. To re-member that FEELING IN will help me discover my truest purpose much quicker than over analyzing and ripping myself apart ever will. Mental wellness for me comes when I am not in stress. How do I keep myself out of stress? I live my life with my Top 3 Core Values front and center at all times. Peace. Freedom. Community. Do you know what yours are? If not, you also may be able to alleviate some unnecessary burdens in your life once you discover them and start living by them.And if you are feeling unwell, physically, emotionally, spiritually…. please get help. Ask. Reach out a hand and do everything you can to take care of YOU. We are not alone. Xx,ÅsaIN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:-Had my (our) first ever Sales Page designed and created for More Moss.Less Mess.-Komeil Asli, Arian Parsi of A/P Design -Mental Health Awareness month, May-I went to Stockholm for the day yesterday to help Ray for the final time.-Always have backups when doing death cleaning work. -Our sales offer, go check it out on our new sales page!

Stopping the stories. My needs. My wants. -Top 3 CORE VALUES of my life are Peace, Freedom, and Community. How does this all tie together? -Last week we had @20 people helping us to create all of the things we needed help with. I am learning to ask and ACCEPT HELP! -Moving my plants outside for the summer.

What do you think DIARRHEA and DECLUTTERING have in common?

What do you think DIARRHEA and DECLUTTERING have in common?
HOST: Åsa Nilsson TITLE OF EPISODE: What do you think DIARRHEA and DECLUTTERING have in common? ‘The Great Purge’ of my body AND my business.SUMMARY OF EPISODE:What do YOU think diarrhea and decluttering have in common? Probably not a question you’ve ever asked yourself but it’s a good question to ponder.Our bodies purge poisons naturally (thankfully) and when something is out of whack or off kilter, the body attempts to remedy itself. A magical machine.Well, knowing me, I will, of course, always question anything that is happening inside of me so today I went to a medical specialist to hear what is going on after 2 weeks of this happening. Diarrhea, that is. He stated that there is simply a bug inside of my system that needs to pass through. HA! I knew it! My Spirit Team was right! Yes, I check in with some of the best there are and I KNOW so much is happening in the Universe right now AND I wanted to still speak with a professional who specialises in belly problems.  I am spiritual, not naive.So my friend… do you agree that the time is NOW for ‘The Great Purge’ of things that no longer ‘suit’ us. Whether that’s our bodies purging out whatever poisons don’t belong, purging papers and old ideas and thoughts for my business and starting with a new fresh slate. OOOH, I just LOVE new beginnings... I always have. Do you? Xx,ÅsaIN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:My body is decluttering itself right now.Shedding weight like I have done in the past. Stop focusing on it and it will happen. Who am I losing weight for?Now I am shedding whatever remaining poison is in my body and I am thankful for it! Fish, veggies, chips and wine. Meal of champions. Past 2 weeks I have had diarrhea. Not sure what caused it but will go to a specialist today. Julie Poole tarot reader on YouTube. What in YOUR life is coming to a head?Starting new, starting fresh. Brings me to the decluttering of my business too! I may have jumped the gun saying Thomas was joining me on day one. Business blank slate. I love blank slates, do you? I report to myself and God. No one else. I’m taking over as the breadwinner. Feels good and scary. I am ready for this.Previous goals were all based on monetary goals. Not now. Now my passion projects INCLUDE my life and my love of working with people and helping them with their pivot. Not leaving a mess behind.Re-writing my business plan with GOD as my partner in crime and how we want to serve in the highest and best. Swedish death cleaning my business!Auditing my life, spending, shed and shred what? Getting rid of years of notes feels so good!!!! Asking myself What if I did something different this time, reach out to build a community of professionals that are in alignment with my work? Ex. funeral directors, attorneys who work with estates (like next week's guest!!!!). I do believe in Spirit AND medical professionals. Thankful for the diarrhea, rather out than in, I say.  HOST CONTACT INFORMATION: Website: www.moremosstothepeople.comYouTube: @AsaNilsson Instagram: @AsaNilssonSwedenFacebook: @asajnilssonMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Weight Watchers. https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/Julie Poole Tarot  https://www.youtube.com/@JuliePooleCONTACT INFORMATION for KOMEIL ASLI, my Podcast Production Manager: Komeil Asli Freelance UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer. komeil.asli@gmail.com  Hosted on Acast.

“I am…”. The breakup before the breakthrough.
26-04-2024
“I am…”. The breakup before the breakthrough.
HOST: Åsa Nilsson TITLE OF EPISODE:  “I am…”. The breakup before the breakthrough. SUMMARY OF EPISODE:I had a bit of an epiphany this week when Thomas said one simple line to me over breakfast, “I am not the star Åsa, you are.” This set me off on a downward spiral of weird reactions and over the top ‘not enoughness’ so much so that I contemplated shutting everything down that I have created over these past 7 years on my social media feeds and the podcast movement. In the matter of one simple statement from my husband. Hmmmm, something is off. Or maybe something is RIGHT? Pay attention, Åsa.Asking myself, who am I to speak about all of these topics on social media? Maybe I should shut this all down? I am spending my life on social media posting and writing content and sharing my heart and my life and what if no one actually cares? Or even worse, what if I am embarrassing myself and my family and I don’t even know it? I was brought back to a memory of myself as a young person who didn’t feel like my voice mattered and that I needed to stop asking so many questions. Stop talking so much. ‘Stop being who you are’ essentially.Who do I need to break up with so I can fully integrate into my uplevel that IS occurring right now? The break up HAS to occur so the breakthrough can occur. An old version of myself that still believes that lie needs to go. Now. Facing my shadows.“I am… “everything. And so are you.If you don’t have people around you supporting that thought, or even if you YOURSELF don’t support that thought, then I am guessing you have some breaking up to do too. IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:Thomas' aversion to being on the podcast.I have a need to share my heart and my voice. I don’t want to be embarrassed about that. “You’re the STAR Åsa, not me”... and then the spin out that occurred.Circle of Ugh, the pattern I have been following for the past 7 years.What is my discomfort? Talking too much? Being too much? Shameful to the family? Embarrassing myself? Is this what others are thinking about me? Is this what happens when I am on social media that I begin to think that I am not enough??  Or too much? Should I shut this all down? “I am….”A next level upleveling. It’s happening in and around me and I am feeling unsettled. Creating a community. Finding my own voice. Sharing that.Childhood messaging of you are here to be seen not heard. Am I too much? Stop talking. Stop asking questions. Stop. Just stop. No, I will not stop. In fact, now I am going to double down.Who do you need to break up with so you can have YOUR breakthrough? Who is keeping you small? Who does not support your dreams? If you and I have those people in our lives then we need to see them for who they are today. Who WE are today.The STAR card in tarot. What does it symbolize? What can Thomas have meant? I am choosing a life of integrity. My integrity first. I am not sitting this life out.  HOST CONTACT INFORMATION: Website: www.moremosstothepeople.comYouTube: @AsaNilsson Instagram: @AsaNilssonSwedenFacebook: @asajnilssonMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Photo credit: The Star Card in the Radiant Rider Waite tarot deck. CONTACT INFORMATION for KOMEIL ASLI, my Podcast Production Manager: Komeil Asli Freelance UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer. komeil.asli@gmail.com  Hosted on Acast.

“We leave our message behind, not our mess.”
19-04-2024
“We leave our message behind, not our mess.”
HOST: Åsa Nilsson TITLE OF EPISODE: “We leave our message behind, not our mess”SUMMARY OF EPISODE:I spent all last week working with my ‘Ray of Sunshine’ on Phase 2 of getting him completely moved out of his Stockholm apartment so he can relocate back to the US.The trust that Ray gives me, and the “free hands” to work in my own way to create the end result which he needed … makes me come alive. Makes me sweat too, don’t think it's all roses. There is an underlying pressure I still put on myself which I recognize when I “have” to rely on others. And when I start feeling like something is going sideways, how can I react in a way that is better suited rather than losing sleep over it? I can start with gratitude (and having back ups for everything!). Saying ‘thank you’ to those people and myself more. When I do this, I feel myself becoming lighter. I feel my energy becoming brighter. I can feel more creative. Immediately. Saying the words to myself, “Have fun with this, Åsa. It will all work out. Trust others to show up and do what they promised.” Trust. Trust. Trust. Working on it. #progressnotperfectionXx,ÅsaIN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:So much gratitude goes out to my VILLAGE of people that supported and helped me this week. Ray, Thomas,Tim, Mike, Thais, charitable organizations, Facebook Marketplace, TipTapp app.Swedish Death Cleaning versus Decluttering what is the difference?Ongoingness of Swedish Death Cleaning. Assigning names to things now.Don’t give your problems to someone else. “We leave our message behind, not our mess”. Follow up and follow through with people and organizations that promise to help you.Having back ups for everything and why that’s important.The BENEFITS of death cleaning and decluttering.Breaking ancestral chains by removing items that have remained due to guilt and shoulds.Your loved ones are not your things. I share some tips for starting this work yourself in your own home. HOST CONTACT INFORMATION: Website: www.moremosstothepeople.comYouTube: @AsaNilsson Instagram: @AsaNilssonSwedenFacebook: @asajnilssonMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Charitable organizations: Stadsmissionen Stockholm, Myrorna Stockholm, Agape SecondHandFacebook MarketplaceTipTapp app for pick ups and drop offs in and around StockholmCONTACT INFORMATION for KOMEIL ASLI, my Podcast Production Manager: Komeil Asli Freelance UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer. komeil.asli@gmail.com Like and Follow us on Instagram, @AsaNilssonSweden If you have any general questions or comments for the show, or you’d like to work with Åsa and Thomas with Swedish death cleaning + decluttering in your own home, please send an inquiry to moremosstothepeople@gmail.com.

Staying in a beginners mind with Swedish Death Cleaning
HOST: Åsa NilssonTITLE OF EPISODE:  Staying in a beginners mind with my Swedish Death Cleaning SUMMARY OF EPISODE:Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are. At the end of our days, what do you think will matter the most? The stuff we chose to hold on to for dear life because it made us feel good to look at and remember the moments that we have created with them OR will we remember the family and friends (sometimes one and the same) that we love the most and who have continually shown up for us during the most difficult times in our lives? Even when the shit hit the fan. Especially when the shit hit the fan.This episode is a practical summary of what I found when I got to Houston to ‘do the work’ with my beloved eldest sister who had hired me to come in from Sweden to do Swedish Death Cleaning and decluttering in her home after her beloved husband Jay passed away on Christmas Eve.The best laid plans, my friend. I am learning that I need to remain flexible, open, empathetic to all sorts of emotions. I can have an itinerary or game plan that is written in pencil, let’s put it that way. Ahh, learning more and more every time. Pay attention, Åsa. Stay fresh in Spirit and open minded and hearted in order to learn new ways of doing old things. Hope you can learn something too.IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:I can not stand to be rushed.Relax into it, don't stress into it.April is the month of Aries, time to clean it up. The “Self”, After a major life change, don’t make any huge decisions for one year. I discovered more clearly how I prefer to work with death cleaning. I am perfectly fine with a set schedule.Started with administrative work: changing names as primary account holders, what accounts need to be cancelled, memberships cancelled. Auditing all your bills and bank statements every month.Add names on accounts today where possible.Making a priority list of where to start, what rooms need the most attention. I have no agenda on what rooms get completed first. In the end they will ALL make a difference (when selling a home). How do I tackle a large closet? I go through this process. Office re-organization for my sisters needs now. New chair. Getting rid of extra screens, etc. making it HER space. Working to ‘adult’ children's rooms.Guest room is now hotelled, new bedding, neutral, cozy. Character is always revealed. Who comes to your side when you're at your lowest? You will be surprised. Hold on tight to them. Decluttering ‘friends’ and ‘family’ is ALSO a part of death cleaning.I give some tips on how to help someone who has just experienced death. Don’t ASK them what you can do, just DO something. Talking with others. The process of discussing what we want and need moving forward.The client determines the pace and timing in their home. Surrendering to the stuff. Does it bring you peace or weigh you down? HOST CONTACT INFORMATION: www.moremosstothepeople,comIG: @AsanilssonswedenFB @asajnilssonYT @asanilssonMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Margareta Magnusson, The Gentle Art of Death Cleaning, the book. CONTACT INFORMATION for KOMEIL ASLI, my Podcast Production Manager: Komeil Asli Freelance UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer. komeil.asli@gmail.com Like and Follow us on Instagram, @AsaNilssonSweden and YouTube @AsaNilsson.

Reckless or Bold? REVELATIONS from CHANIA, GREECE

Reckless or Bold? REVELATIONS from CHANIA, GREECE
HOST: Åsa NilssonTITLE OF EPISODE: Reckless or Bold? REVELATIONS from CHANIA, GREECE SUMMARY OF EPISODE:After traveling to paradise (Chania, Greece) last week with my two girlfriends, I discovered something that has been elusive in my life as of late. Laughter. I mean, deep, soulful, tearful laughter. The kind that bubbles up so easily when you are with people you love and whose company you really enjoy. Experiencing such simple beauty in the local people, the delicious food, the time spent having deep and long conversations about important topics like dreams, life, hopes, love and family. What’s the most important thing in my life? My husband and our relationship. Spending time together choosing our happiness first. Choosing to live life now. Not one day. Not allowing others to determine our lives FOR us. No. Life is now. Swim in the sea. Eat the food. Open your eyes and your heart. Trust that everything will be revealed in its due course. It always has. And it always will.It’s my job to have the vision and to be clear, not vague or unconscious.I am now North Star clear. Are you? IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:Traveling to Chania, Greece with 2 friends, what was that like?When asked to go, what was my initial reaction? Patterns.  When the decision was made to go, all of the sudden everything became easy.Am I getting too stuck in my habitual responses? My husband is leaving his work in June. Is it reckless? “Well, I have a job and I really like my coworkers’. Is that enough?I have a Masters in Observation. Thomas is who I want to spend my time and life with, working together with Swedish Death Cleaning! Why not?!He’s my 2 meter tall man, my viking, he can move mountains. Becoming 100% North Star clear. Is everyone else deciding our lives for us?!Chania, the builder, the materials, pride of country, eat the food, swim in the Mediterranean. What else am I not doing, not exploring, not seeing?We perceive we are in a cage yet the door is not even locked. Feeling outside? Don’t belong, don’t matter? Not rich enough?Abundance is a frame of mind, not an amount of money in your pocket.Don’t judge a book by its cover.We must lead to show others that it’s OK to choose yourself.

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?
HOST: Åsa NilssonTITLE OF EPISODE: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? SUMMARY OF EPISODE:There is something happening inside of me and I am not sure what it is but it feels like freedom is knocking. A coldness is dissipating into a warmness. A shell is cracking open and a flicker of light is shining in and it feels good. It feels like love.What would love do? Does this look like love to me? Does this feel like love to me? If I truly want to share my love and heart with the world, then I can’t compartmentalise it any more. Old patterns that are meant to be broken. By me and only me. Taking accountability for myself and my actions and my stories. Otherwise they’ll be back yet again (and again).What would love want to tell YOU today? IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:- Good to be back in Sweden. Will I ever move back to the US?- What is love? - Looking for the exit door.- Disconnected from myself. Choosing to stay safe.- I’ve been the difficult one. - Choose to show up with my heart wide open now. - Love, what do you want me to know today? - Responsibility to know everything. Have all the answers. Patterns.- I am not enough, a recurring theme. Overcompensating.- Helping people for free, that’s a self worth problem.- How about embracing a beginners mindset instead, release the pressure valve.- Stay curious. Ask questions.CEO actions.- Trust that everything I need will be shown to me. It always has. TRUST.- Those that don’t believe in magic will never find it.- Allowing myself to accept love, be loved, process grief, hurts, shame, vulnerabilities.- There’s no limit to love.- Love myself first and most. THEN go out to the world and share from that place.HOST CONTACT INFORMATION: www.moremosstothepeople.comFB: @AsaJNilssonIG: @AsaNilssonSwedenYT: @AsaNilssonMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: JoAnn Higa @jhigacoachingElizabeth Gilbert , Letters from Love, https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/bio/Tim Ciani @TimCiani_HairAnderson Cooper's podcast, ”All there is”. https://www.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/all-there-is-with-anderson-cooperCONTACT INFORMATION for KOMEIL ASLI, my Podcast Production Manager: Komeil Asli Freelance UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer. komeil.asli@gmail.com Like and Follow us on Instagram, @AsaNilssonSweden If you have any general questions or comments for the show, or you’d like to advertise with us, email: moremosstothepeople@gmail.com Thank you so much for listening!  Hosted on Acast.

From modeling in LA to waitressing in NYC, what can a 21 year old possibly teach us old folks? HA! Just you wait.
GUEST: Lilly StatzerTITLE OF EPISODE:  From modeling in LA to waitressing in NYC, what can a 21 year old possibly teach us old folks? HA! Just you wait. SUMMARY OF EPISODE: I’ve known Lilly since she was a wee lass.  I haven’t seen her in over 12 years and WOW is she is making her mark in this world. How can a 21 year old be so wise?!Her wisdom makes her a perfect guest for ‘More Moss’ as she shares easily how she chooses to navigate a life through true authenticity and accountability.After leaving North Carolina at 19 to move to LA to model she quickly found herself in a dark place. She chose to come back home to North Carolina, ground herself, get her head back on straight and start working towards her goal of moving to New York City. So Lilly relocated to NYC then in July her life fell apart when her dear friend Aidan died. What came next? Seven7Fifteen15Enjoy this radiant soul. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:Lilly’s mom Angela Statzer is the co-founder of the More Moss to the People movement! Lilly is now 21 years old, living in Brooklyn, NY.Lilly chose a different path than her friends, not the “normal” path of a 4 year college. Started from scratch, knew no one, started going out to meet people.“You can get in a deep dark hole there and I did.” “It was completely my fault I had that experience”.What Lilly feels her parents had given her as a foundation.“I can’t live like this. I was worried about the wrong things.”Moved home to NC, to ground herself, worked hard so she could move to NYC. “If you want to do something, do it! You can find happiness anywhere. Don’t give up. ”Life defining moment: in July 2023 Lilly lost a dear friend of hers Aidan Murphy in a car crash. While working through her grief, Lilly decided to finally start her dream of creating her own jewelry line. She would call it seven7fifteen15 in honour of Aidan’s death date.No more excuses. “You don’t know when your time is. Life is so short, it can be taken away from you in a second.” “I see him all the time.” Butterfly story. A portion of the proceeds from her jewelry sales go to Ukraine.Parents and legacy. “Encourage people to do what they want and happiness is the goal”. GUEST CONTACT INFORMATION: IG personal @lillywestonnIG 7/15 @seven7fifteen15Website https://seven7fifteen15.com MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: -Angela Statzer, https://www.instagram.com/angelastatzerdesigns/-Aidan Murphy Hosted on Acast.

A Death Doula, DeClutter Guide and a Swedish Death Cleaner sit down to talk about planning for death and dying.
Guests: Tammy Faulds and Jeff OrrTITLE OF EPISODE: A Death Doula, DeClutter Guide and a Swedish Death Cleaner sit down to talk about planning for death and dying. What can YOU possibly get out of this conversation?! 🙂SUMMARY OF EPISODE:Tammy, Jeff and I are all believers in speaking about the taboo topic of death because we have witnessed what happens when ‘we’ do not.Opting in to look at our one beautiful life RIGHT NOW and determining for ourselves and preparing for what it is YOU would like the end of your life to look like, how can it be wrong, sinister or voodoo?  We are opening up the discussion to show that it is simply ‘yet another discussion’ albeit possibly the most important one you can ever start. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:End of life planning versus celebrations of life planning. Creating a Playlist for your own epic end of life party. Wholistic approach to the planning for an end of life celebration.Bringing a unique lens to the celebration. It’s yours.Is it appropriate to curse at a funeral? HELL YES, if it fits the bill then we all say YES. Creating an end of life celebration.The time is now.Stay curious. Remember your values. Embodiment.“Death, It’s not a vampire, it won’t kill you. Invite it in.” No judgement. It’s a process. Having it feel safe.Fears. What happens when we don’t plan or write down our wishes. Screwing it up. Disappointments. Permission to choose yourself, now. Can we be the chain breakers? Takes courage.Belongings. Be-Longing. “In the end it’s all just stuff.”There’a a big fear around being forgotten. Choosing what to keep and what to dispose of.Sentimentality. Be open to reframing and thinking differently to honour the fears. Suffering comes from the unknown.Shine a light on it.“Live a life you’ll be proud to leave"I can exhale. Do this with your eyes wide open, not with your head in the sand.GUEST CONTACT INFORMATION: -Tammy Faulds, Inner Travel Grief Coaching™https://innertravelcoaching.comFollow her online on Instagram or Facebook-Jeff Orr, https://www.jefforrknows.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefforrknows/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jefforrknowsMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Link to Tammy's guidebook that’s a great first step for anyone looking to get curious about death. https://members.innertravelcoaching.com/page/live-a-life-you-ll-be-proud-to-leave Hosted on Acast.
