Preparing for Death Consciously and Kindly - Cianna Stewart Artwork

Another Way with Dani

Hi, I'm Dani! I love people and I love talking about the human experience. I'm a seeker and a connector. From a very young age I've believed in the power of discourse and critical thinking - and that "because this is how we've always done it" is not a valid reason to keep doing things a certain way.

In every episode I sit down with a different guest (or guests) and dive into how they are challenging the status quo and choosing unconventional paths in life. Together, we explore their insights, experiences, and stories around specific themes. The mission is to open our hearts and minds so we can consciously explore ways to live more authentically, intentionally, and on purpose. And hopefully break through outdated paradigms despite what we've been told or taught.

Preparing for Death Consciously and Kindly - Cianna Stewart

March 14, 2025 • Dani O'Brien Buckley • Episode 20

Cianna P. Stewart produces and hosts Dying Kindness, a podcast for people who are going to die someday. (Hint... that's all of us!) Cianna's goal is to help people make key decisions now in order to be kinder to those they'll leave behind.

In this episode we cover the many things you can logistically do to prepare for death, but we also dive into talking about death with your loved ones, facing death, navigating grief (for yourself and with others), and a whole lot more.

We even get into some specific tips around what to actually say to those who are grieving and how you can best support them. Cianna and I share our own experiences and journeys with loss and death as well. This is a special and important episode, I hope you enjoy listening to it it as much as I did recording it!
