Coffin Talk

Written By Ultimate Transitions

Welcome back to Coffin Talk, interviews with The Living, a weekly podcast that explores how our views on death affect the way we live our life. This week, our guest is Michael Hawley.

He's a death doula who offers a circle of care approach to help people facing the end of life. His unique path to death work was shaped by a successful career in department store leadership and the beauty industry, where he cultivated sharp skills in leadership, team development, and customer care. He offers a distinct perspective as he views death as a natural and inevitable part of life, akin to the birthing process.”
