It's any one of us who works in a caring profession and is bravely doing their own work, while helping others. My goal is to share the parallel journey we as healers walk along with our clients and how we attend to our own humanity while caring for others. My podcast is about conversations and community building, what we can learn from each other, and how we can help heal each other. We're cultivating a space where we celebrate vulnerability, authenticity and \"showing up.\" It's a place to meet people I think will inspire you, help you heal and grow – and who you can relate to at the same time. I'm inspired by C.G. Jung's \"wounded healer\" concept, where the healer's own hurt that gives the measure of his own power to heal. Another one of my heroes, Brene Brown, puts it best: \"Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.\" Together, I hope this marriage of vulnerability and professionalism will inspire and entertain you...enjoy!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/conversations-with-a-wounded-healer-682694"},"episode":{"title":"309 - Happy Funerals, Sad Funerals: What Death Teaches the Living with Rachel Hauck","slug":"309-happy-funerals-sad-funerals-what-death-teaches-the-living-with-rachel-hauck","published_at":"2026-02-25T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/conversations-with-a-wounded-healer-682694/309-happy-funerals-sad-funerals-what-death-teaches-the-living-with-rachel-hauck","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/conversations-with-a-wounded-healer-682694","url":"https://headheartbiztherapy.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/convoswithawoundedhealer/309_309_-_Happy_Funerals_Sad_Funerals__What_Death_Teaches_the_Living_with_Rachel_Hauck.mp3?dest-id=671880","summary":"A funeral director turned therapist on meaning-making, unfinished business, and why grief needs more truth and less cheerleading. Ready for a life-affirming episode about death? I'm excited to introduce you to my longtime friend Rachel Hauck. She's a funeral director and embalmer. After 20 years in business, she's decided to go back to school to become a therapist. I love chatting with people who are in midlife career shifts. Why did she make the switch? How will her previous career shape her identity as a therapist? What sets this conversation apart from the hushed, almost embarrassed way folks often talk about death is our openness around its emotional messiness. We go beyond Kübler-Ross's model to consider those carrying complex or \"untraditional\" feelings of grief (think: Jeanette McCurdy). All experiences are welcome here. GUEST BIO Rachel Hauck (she/her) has served families as a licensed funeral director/embalmer in the state of Florida for the last 20 years. She is currently completing a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University and hopes to develop a signature program in prolonged grief therapy.
