Episode 328 - Mortality Awareness with Karen Salmansohn

In this episode, we explore the truth we all share but often avoid talking about. We know our life on this planet will end one day, but we tend to push that awareness aside until something grave brings it front and center.

Instead of waiting for that moment, what happens when we live our lives now, with intent, with purpose, and with joy? When we stop drifting through near-life experiences and begin shaping each day around our deepest values, we discover what it means to live fully before time runs out.
