New World Normal

We are questioning, disrupting and transforming "Normal" to something more sustainable and enriching for us all. Debbie Harrell and her guests are challenging listeners to rethink their current routines & habits, their "shoulds & have-tos" and live more aligned with their passions and purpose. We are sharing stories of individuals who are making impactful changes in the world around them, working to create a more healthy, holistic, and inclusive future. We believe that the power to create social, environmental, and racial change lies with the collective, and we hope to inspire our listeners to make positive shifts in their own lives that will then ripple out and create positive change in the world.

Author’s note for the head honchos: I really liked “Death Becomes Her” as a title!

We’ve heard from many coaches on this podcast. Life coaches, finance coaches, business coaches, but who’s ever heard of a death coach? Everybody does it, but many of us get nervous when speaking about death. We still have plenty of years, why should we rush into all these gloomy documents? Today’s guest, Julia DeCaneva, sheds light on the stigma and offers solutions.

Julia is a cancer survivor with a knack for organization. She spent some time as a professional home organizer, which would later carry into her work as a coach in mindfulness. She now works as a death doula to help us make the most out of our lives and, by extension, our deaths.
