Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy.

Today is October 3rd, 2017 and I'm your host Kara Santa Maria.

Now this week is a fascinating episode. I'm joined by Caitlin Doherty. She's a mortician

and a death acceptance advocate. But before we dive into that episode, I want to let you guys

know that I'm so incredibly grateful for all of your

ongoing support. It's because of you that TalkNurdy is and will always remain

100% free to download. Now I'm actually time traveling a little bit because I'm

recording this intro while I'm at home and have my equipment but I'm about to go

gallivanting across the world. I'm spending some time in Paris and some time in North Africa.

I'm actually going to be posting this episode

while I am overseas.

So that's why I'm not going to give specific call-outs to anybody who has shown

their support on Patreon or PayPal simply because I would hate to leave anybody out.

So when I get back into town,

I'll make sure to give everybody credit where it's due.

But in the meantime, I say we dive right in.

I mentioned before, Caitlin, she actually has a brand new book it's called From Here to Eternity

traveling the world to find the good death as I mentioned she is a mortician and she's also a death acceptance advocate and she has a non-profit

mortuary in Los Angeles called Undertaking LA. Just fascinating. So without any further ado, here she is, Caitlin Dody.

Well, Caitlin, thank you so much for joining me today.

Thank you for having me in your lovely home.

Oh, I am so glad that you were able to make the terrible journey from the middle of L.S.
