## Resource

On this episode, I sit down with Darnell Walker, author of the new book, Never Can Say Goodbye: The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End, to talk about life, death, and what it really means to be present for both. We explore Darnell's journey as a death doula, what he's learned from walking alongside people at the end of life, and how facing our mortality can actually deepen our appreciation for living fully, operating with authenticity, and showing up for what matters most.
