213. Begin With the End - How Planning Opens Space for Living with Marni Blank

What if preparing for death could actually help us live more fully?

Too often, we avoid end-of-life conversations because they feel overwhelming or sad. But leaning into planning can actually bring clarity, ease, and deeper connection. In this episode, I’m joined by Marni Blank, founder of Begin With The End, who helps individuals and families approach legacy, loss, and after-death logistics with compassion. We talk about how facing death directly can free us to live and grieve with more presence.

Together, we’ll explore:

How practical planning creates space for emotional connection in times of crisis
Why legacy work can become a meaningful, creative act of love
Common fears that hold people back from talking about death—and how to move through them
How aligning grief support with whole-person awareness (mind, heart, body, spirit) can restore presence and resilience
