We'll finally find our way back home.

Hi everybody, welcome to We Can Do Hard Things.

I am happy today, because we are finally talking about, yeah, oh boy.

Yeah, so since we started this podcast, my sister, her big topic that she was most excited

to talk about was Menopause.

And my topic that I was most excited to talk about was death.

So I feel like it's a mystery-wise sister and I don't get invited to more parties.

And I know that this is a scary topic for a lot of people, but we're going to do it unscarily

and beautifully.

We are so excited to introduce our guest today, the joyful, hilarious, effervescent, brilliant

and deeply wise, Alua Arthur, as Alua Arthur says, talking about sex won't make us pregnant,

talking about death won't make us dead.

Alua Arthur is a death doula recovering attorney and the founder of Going With Grace, a death

doula training and end of life planning organization that exists to support people as

they answer this question that I love so much, what must I do to be at peace with myself

so that I may live presently and die gracefully?

Going with Grace works to improve and redefine the end of life experience for people rooted

in every community using the individual lived experience as the foundation.

Alua is inspired by the gift of life itself and is always on the quest for the best donuts

and fried plantains.

Alua, welcome.

Thank you so much.
