🌟 A heartfelt thank you to Laura S Molecavage for welcoming Anna Marie Adams onto her podcast, Life, Death & Beyond! 🌟

In this episode, we explore life, death, and the beyond, discussing personal experiences and insights that lead to profound changes and wisdom. Together, we reflect on:
✨ Near-death and out-of-body experiences
✨ Rituals and sacred practices
✨ The unique niches within doula work
✨ What it truly means to walk the path of an End-of-Life Doula

Death is not an end—it is a natural, sacred transition, a continuation of being in a new form. Too often, we give value to many parts of life while forgetting to honor death as an equally important part of our journey.

I’m grateful for the chance to share in this conversation about embracing death as a natural, meaningful passage—one that unites us all.

The self-proclaimed “leader of the misfits” takes on her last nine months by planning her funeral, tackling her bucket list, and teaching us that death isn’t the end of our story.
