In this episode, we sit down with Baci Hillyer, a certified end of life doula, mentor, and founder of Live Well Leave Well, for a deeply honest and expansive conversation about death, grief, and what it truly means to live well.

Together, we explore a topic many of us avoid but one that touches every single life. Baci invites us to rethink our relationship with death, not as something distant or fearful, but as something that can bring clarity, connection, and purpose to how we live right now.

We talk about the concept of death literacy and why modern culture has become disconnected from something that was once a shared, human experience.

A key part of this conversation is what it means to prepare for a good death. Not just practically, but emotionally and spiritually. Baci shares how preparing for death can include having honest conversations, making peace with people in our lives, understanding our wishes, and being intentional about the legacy we leave behind. Rather than waiting until the end, this kind of preparation begins while we are still living.

This conversation also moves through grief in its many forms. Baci opens up about her own profound experiences with loss and how those shaped her life’s calling. We reflect on how different types of loss impact us, why grief never really leaves, and how it evolves with us over time.

We also explore:

• What an end of life doula really does
• Why people fear death and how we can soften that fear
• The importance of having conversations before it is too late
• Rituals that support both dying and grieving
• How beliefs around death shape the way we live
• Why we often delay what matters most and how to change that
• What it means to prepare for a good death, emotionally, spiritually, and practically

One of the most powerful reminders from this episode is simple but confronting: we all think we have time, but time is never guaranteed. And when we truly understand that, everything begins to shift.

Baci’s work is centred on helping people live well now, so they can leave well later. This episode is an invitation to reflect, reconnect, and maybe start the conversations you have been putting off.

All of Baci’s offerings are freely available, with her hope that more people begin eng
