From those moments on, Alua realized the power in guiding people through the dying process, and devoted her life to working as a death doula.

I'm looking at who you are when you're uninhibited, because it's a tell-tale sign of what is really driving you. And so often we are blind. I'm not making light of being drunk, drugged, having dementia or dying, but these are methods or altered states that generally bring down people's shields and we see what is underneath the persona. I've witnessed people in all these states and I've experienced two myself. I find it very enlightening, and I honestly am concerned about how I do and would fare. I convict myself in thinking about the real me and it gives me two motives; one is I'd like to be the authentic me all the time, so if I was in an altered state, there would be no change. Or two, if I did change in an altered state, what would be revealed? Would I be angry, sad, intense, funny, bitter, quiet, loud…you get the idea. My muse is my recent conversation with Alua Arthur, author of Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life By Getting Real About The End. Alua talked about people at the end of life as they contemplate their mortality and regrets, secret joys, hidden affairs, and dim realities are finally revealed aloud.

The point of this podcast is to better fuel your drive so you achieve more fulfillment. I've met few people who want to talk about death. We avoid it like…death. It's black and dark and to be feared. At least in our culture. But seven months ago my Dad got a surprise cancer diagnosis, and he died six weeks later. I was fortunate to walk with him daily until his last breath. I went from zero exposure to death, to full exposure. And it's altered my life. My brother Jared Angaza was there as well, and he participated intimately as a death doula, walking with my Dad intimately in his personal care and spiritual ponderings. We'd never heard the term “death doula” before. Well, divinely, I was contacted by an agency about having Alua Arthur on this podcast. Alua is the most visible death doula working in America today. She trains and educates other death doulas to walk with people in the end days of their lives, from basic planning to nurturing their souls and the lives of their loved ones. Alua has spent literally thousands of hours with people as they contemplate their mortality when regrets, secret joys, hidden affairs, and dim realities are finally revealed aloud. It is for this insight I wanted to talk with her. Her TED Talk, “Why thinking about death helps you live a better life” has 1.5 million views. She has been featured on CBS's The Doctors and I've now seen her in Disney's “Limitless” docu-series with Chris Hemsworth. Alua's journey to death work started when her family fled a murderous coup d'etat in Ghana. She went on to become a lawyer, but after walking with a close friend through his death, she devoted herself to walking with others and educating us on what we can gain in our lives today, from considering our death in the future, instead of avoiding it. I'll be referencing Alua's new book, Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life By Getting Real About The End, which is her raw, no holds barred, honest, and frequently hilarious memoir that shares her powerful message with people all around the world. You can also find out more at Goingwithgrace.com. I sat down to talk with Alua about how her insights with death can help us lead more authentically driven and rewarding lives, right now.

As the most visible death doula working in America today, Alua Arthur is a seeker, a “recovering” attorney and the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization. She has spent thousands of hours with folks as they contemplate their mortality when regrets, secret joys, hidden affairs, and dim realities are finally revealed aloud. Her TED Talk titled, “Why thinking about death helps you live a better life” went online in July 2023, and has already received 1.5 million views. A frequent guest on TV and radio, Alua has been featured on CBS's The Doctors and in Disney's “Limitless” docu-series with Chris Hemsworth, as well as in national print media outlets, such as Vogue, InStyle, the Los Angeles Times, The Cut, The New Yorker, and the New York Times. She travels the country and world as a keynote speaker, addressing audiences at conferences, end-of-life organizations, Fortune 500 companies, universities, seminaries, senior citizens' communities, and more. Alua's journey to death work started when her family fled a murderous coup d'etat in Ghana in the ‘80s – a time of chaos and fear that dramatically impacted her life and influenced her restless, peripatetic spirit. Every aspect of Alua's fascinating life comes together in Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life By Getting Real About The End, her raw, no holds barred, honest, and frequently hilarious memoir poetically crafted to share her powerful message with people all around the world. Available on April 16, 2024, her story is a deeply soul-transformative story that encourages us to think about the often-taboo subject of our own mortality – and how embracing this reality can help us lead better, more fulfilling lives. Topics covered in this episode:Work-life BalanceWorkplace ChallengesSelf-care StrategiesMental Health SupportPersonal ExperiencesReality of DeathMedically Assisted EuthanasiaImportance of AutonomyImpact of MedicationsRegrets and Life LessonsTo learn more about Alua Arthur and her work, head over to www.goingwithgrace.com__________________________________________________________I cannot encourage you enough to go and pick up a copy of Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End.

“When we can pause for a moment and rifle through all that noise to figure out what the root of the fear is, then we can be with it in a meaningful way, rather than just let it run our lives. And a little bit of fear of death and a little bit of death anxiety is totally normal, for all of us. I mean, it's that thing inside that tells you not to keep walking when you get to the edge of a cliff, and even to like drink water, you know, hydrate, stay alive. It's in us. It's in our DNA. It's rooted in there. And so the goal is never to get over it entirely, but rather to learn from it, to be with it, to not let it run our lives, but rather to let it fuel our lives.” So says Alua Arthur, a death doula and recovering attorney who is the author of Briefly, Perfectly, Human, which is a guidebook for both how to live and also how to die. Alua is the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization. In today's conversation, we talk about what it would look like to get our death phobic culture a little closer to the end, why people fear dying, and what can be gained when we recognize the priceless gifts that come when our lives come to a close. Let's get to our conversation. MORE FROM ALUA ARTHUR: Briefly, Perfectly, Human Follow Alua on Instagram Going with Grace Website RELATED EPISODES: B.J.

It is guaranteed that everyone on this Earth will eventually die, and yet, the process is made difficult with considerations such as appointing an authorized representative, leaving dependents behind, and other bureaucratic formalities that can be outright cruel to deal with when you're already experiencing grief. Stepping in to help with these considerations are death doulas, who work to make this monumental transition as smooth as possible for both the dying and their families. To talk with us today about what it means to be a death doula, this week we're joined by death doula and newly-published author of the memoir ‘Briefly Perfect Human,' Alua Arthur. Alua is the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization that exists to support people as they answer the question, “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?” During our conversation we discussed the training and certifications required to become a death doula, how death doulas assist both the dying and their families in making end-of-life decisions, and how dying means becoming comfortable with the idea of leaning on our community for support.  About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

It's Lisa Bilyeu here with another DEEP, impactful episode of Women of Impact where we're talking about preparing for death and how that helps you to live a life you love, WITHOUT regrets!! I know, death is a topic we ALL would like to avoid talking about because it can be sad and heartbreaking to think about. But literally we will ALL die, so let's stop avoiding the inevitable and just talk about it so that we don't end up dying with regrets!!!  Here to help us think about death as a way to make sure we LIVE our best lives is America's #1 death doula, Alua Arthur.  Alua has held the hands of thousands of people as they finally face the pain and complexities of life in their death, and she's learnt A LOT about the power of making the most out of the life that you get.  Death is something we ignore as a society and unfortunately the reality is that the fear and denial we have towards dying can actually lead to a lot of regret when our time does come.  In this powerful episode, we're talking about:  - How to live more in the next 30 days than you have in the past 10 years - The 1 question Alua thinks you should ask yourself before you make a decision - How to live in the NOW & why doing so is such an important part of a peaceful death - Why we fear dying so much & steps we can take to overcome that fear - The power of using your fears around death & loss to add more fuel to your life RIGHT NOW - How to use the lens of your death to HELP you live life for yourself & not others - Why procrastination is actually death denial  - The tiny steps you need to take to live presently & die gracefully - Why getting older is actually a GIFT that gets you closer to living a happy life - What “get busy living” ACTUALLY means – and it's not “hustle more”  Follow Alua Arthur: Website: https://goingwithgrace.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/going_with_grace/ Order your copy of “briefly perfectly human” here: https://www.aluaarthur.com/ Follow Me, Lisa Bilyeu:  Website: https://www.radicalconfidence.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu  X: https://twitter.com/lisabilyeu  If you want to dive deeper into my content, search through every episode, find specific topics I've covered, and ask me questions.

We're all just briefly perfectly human. That's the profound reminder from our guest today, Alua Arthur.

In our conversation today, and in her adventure-filled and beautifully honest memoir, Briefly Perfectly Human, she helps us see how we can make an authentic life by getting real about the end.

Alua's warmth, wisdom, wit, and passion for living - even while keeping the end in mind - is an inspiration to me and I know you will feel the same way after today's episode.

There seems to be one clear bug in the human operating system — most of us do not like talking about death. Yet when we do talk about it, it can genuinely upgrade the quality of our lives.Our guest today is Alua Arthur, a former attorney who is now what's called a death doula, which is someone who helps guide people through the end of their lives. Through this work, she has learned some extraordinary stuff about how to live life right now. Alua is also the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization. She is working on her debut memoir, which will be coming out next year called, Briefly Perfectly Human.This conversation took place at the 2023 TED Conference in Vancouver, immediately after Alua delivered her triumphant talk, which is out now. Special thanks to the TED Audio Collective. You can listen to Alua's talk and other TED talks on the TED Talks Daily podcast. In this episode we talk about:How death can be a powerful motivator How consistently being aware that you're going to die can be a “stress reliever” The utility of imagining your ideal deathHer view on reincarnation How the concept of “healing” can sometimes be used as a weapon against ourselves The importance of not leaving things unsaid How “hope” at the end of life can sometimes be unhelpfulWhat surprises her about death How her work helped her out of her depressionThe five steps that you should take when confronting your own death The harm that can sometimes result from too much medical intervention toward the end of lifeThe often fraught relationship that vulnerable and marginalized people can have with the medical community The benefits of thinking about what version of yourself you want to meet on your deathbedThe death meditation that she uses when working with people What to say and do when you are with somebody who is grieving And a practice she calls, “The dying things exercise” For tickets to TPH's live event in Boston on September 7:https://thewilbur.com/armory/artist/dan-harris/Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/Alua-Arthur-619See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Disponibile adesso “psiq: Salute Mentale: Istruzioni per l'Uso”, il nuovo libro del Dr. Valerio Rosso: https://bit.ly/psiqVR oppure anche https://www.psiq.itIl "blocco dello studente" è un fenomeno comune che si verifica quando gli studenti sperimentano una difficoltà significativa nel concentrarsi, nel comprendere e nel ricordare le informazioni durante lo studio. Questo problema può manifestarsi in diverse forme, come la mancanza di motivazione, l'ansia da prestazione, la frustrazione o una sensazione di impotenza. Ne parliamo con Alessandro De Concini, esperto di metodi di studio efficaci, formatore e content creator | @alessandrodeconcini-adcPer comprendere il fenomeno del blocco dello studente dal punto di vista psicologico, possiamo fare riferimento a diverse teorie. Ad esempio, secondo la teoria dell'autodeterminazione, l'autonomia, la competenza e il senso di relazione sono elementi chiave per la motivazione intrinseca degli studenti. Se uno studente perde il senso di autonomia o si sente incompetente in una determinata materia, potrebbe sperimentare un blocco.

“Life only matters because we die.”         – Alua Arthur “There is something absolutely miraculous about standing at the doorway of existence.  I am absolutely humbled by it every time. Rather than it being heavy, there is a lightness of being that goes along with it because there is such a mystery to this human ride.”         – Alua Arthur       Alua Arthur is a death doula, attorney, adjunct professor, and ordained minister. Her goal is to bring grace and compassion to the cycle of life by planning for it and effortlessly tying up the loose ends. Going with Grace exists to support people when they answer the question, “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may die gracefully?”, and to support family members completing the affairs of their loved ones life after death.   I am so excited to have Alua on the show today! Today we talk about: After 10 years as social justice attorney what triggered her transition to career path of death doula First, a literally accidental interaction with a young woman her own age facing death Next, helping a dear, close family member and her family walk toward his death, and the resulting grief and depression Then, deep dive into around the topics of death and dying Along with the heaviness and sadness of death -- there is also laughter, joy, tenderness, compassion; the juicy human emotions along with the difficult ones. The miracle of standing at the very doorway of existence. What she observes as death approaches: more difficulty interacting with the outside world, the life force diminishes, loss of appetite for food and drink, changes in skin. Often followed by a “death rally” just before death. We need a functional and cultural death literacy. Considering things like what happens to the body, finances, stuff, grief, what to say, what to do with leftover medication. We need Death Ed. How unlike as an attorney in court, she is able to cry with clients as a death doula Her organization Going With Grace – teaches how to surrender to the process of death. How death makes life more meaningful. Life only matters because we die. Swedish death cleaning – pairing things down, and holding onto only the essential stuff, considering someone needs to deal with your stuff after you are gone. Alua's values to live authentically, boldly, as fully as possible. How one of these 365 days is our Death Day! We both talk about what we want our deaths to look like.       FOLLOW ALUA ARTHUR goingwithgrace.com youtube.com/c/GoingwithGrace https://www.instagram.com/going_with_grace twitter.com/goinggracefully linkedin.com/in/alua-arthur/       WAITLIST FOR COURSE DrAmyRobbins.kartra.com/page/waitlist   FOLLOW DR.

Everything that takes form, dies. Religion can at times help us cope with Death, but are there any downsides to creating beliefs about death? What did Jesus really mean when he spoke of conquering death? In this Episode, Michael Gungor, Emily Capshaw, Rev. Briana Lynn, and Death Doulas Caroline Lee and Alua Arthur explore these questions to understand how we can relieve some of the fear, shame and suffering that exists around Death.

Alua Arthur was an attorney working with the most difficult problems we could imagine; abuse, poverty and assault. But she had done the work with energy and joy until she suddenly found herself depressed and uninspired, lacking any joy in the work. Knowing she would have to leave the work she had loved, it took some time to find her true life's calling; helping people prepare to die and then accompanying them and their families through death. Join us to hear the fascinating way she found passion for working with death and how she finds joy in the field. How can what most people avoid bring smiles and deep satisfaction? And how does she help others find the same peace and preparation, leaving room for joy and life for as long as it's possible? A death doula, Alua dedicates her life to these questions.

My guest on this weeks HER Conversations is Death Doula, Alua Arthur. Her service is to assist those at the end of their lives and their families with all the spiritual and practical necessities.  Even though we all know that death is something we all will experience, it is rarely talked about without discomfort as if the very discussion will bring death closer.  During our discussion, Alua talks about the moment she decided to leave her career in Law and become a Death Doula, the insights she has gained from working with the dying and plans we can make today relating to our own death. The subject matter may seem heavy but remember it is our conditioning that has created that idea. Dying is part of life and it is the unknown aspect that brings in our fear.  Find out more about Alua http://www.goingwithgrace.com/

Welcome to Attorney Heart, the podcast focused on bringing awareness to and promoting attorney well-being! On this episode, Alua Arthur takes us on a less-traveled journey: a discussion about our death and preparing for it. Alua has been an attorney for 14 years and she found her calling while traveling in Cuba. Alua started her business, Going with Grace, to help others take practical steps during their lifetime to prepare for their death and also provides support to surviving family members. Enjoy!

What would life be like if we all accepted our death or even planned for it? On this episode, Nixie brings on Alua Arthur (www.goingwithgrace.com, @going_with_grace), an End of Life Planner and Certified Death Midwife for a juicy and deep conversation about.... death. Alua's mission is to bring grace and compassion to the cycle of life by planning for it and embracing it. The irony is we never know when we are going to transcend, but what if when we begin to prepare for our death we start to fully live? Asking ourselves what legacy will we leave behind? Who might we still need to forgive? What are we not doing because of fear holding us back? Breathe deep with us as we explore a conscious conversation around living presently and dying peacefully.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week on BSDNow, we've got voting news for you (No not that election), a closer look at This episode was brought to you by Headlines ARIN 38 involvement, vote! (http://lists.nycbug.org/pipermail/talk/2016-October/016878.html) Isaac (.Ike) Levy, one of our interview guests from earlier this year, is running for a seat on the 15 person ARIN Advisory Council His goal is to represent the entire *BSD community at this important body that makes decisions about how IP addresses are allocated and managed Biographies and statements for all of the candidates are available here (https://www.arin.net/participate/elections/candidate_bios.pdf) The election ends Friday October 28th If elected, Ike will be looking for input from the community *** LibreSSL not just available but default (DragonFlyBSD) (https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2016/10/19/18794.html) DragonFly has become the latest BSD to join the growing LibreSSL family. As mentioned a few weeks back, they were in the process of wiring it up as a replacement for OpenSSL. With this latest commit, you can now build the entire base and OpenSSL isn't built at all. Congrats, and hopefully more BSDs (and Linux) jump on the bandwagon Compat_43 is gone (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2016-October/624734.html) RiP 4.3 Compat support.. Well for DragonFly anyway. This commit finally puts out to pasture the 4.3 support, which has been disabled by default in DragonFly for almost 5 years now. This is a nice cleanup of their tree, removing more than a thousand lines of code and some of the old cruft still lingering from 4.3. *** Create your first FreeBSD kernel module (http://meltmes.kiloreux.me/create-your-first-freebsd-kernel-module/) This is an interesting tutorial from Abdelhadi Khiati, who is currently a master's student in AI and robotics I have been lucky enough to participate in Google Summer of Code with the FreeBSD foundation. I was amazed by the community surrounding it which was noob friendly and very helpful (Thank you FreeBSD We will run two storage controllers (ctrl-a, ctrl-b) and a host (cln-1). A virtual SAS drive (da0) of 256 MB is configured as “shareable” in Virtual Media Manager and simultaneously connected with both storage controllers The basic settings are applied to both controllers One interesting setting is: kern.cam.ctl.harole – configures default role for the node. So ctrl-a is set as 0 (primary node), ctrl-b – 1 (secondary node). The role also can be specified on per-LUN basis which allows to distribute LUNs over both controllers evenly. Note, kern.cam.ctl.haid and kern.cam.ctl.ha_mode are read-only parameters and must be set only via the /boot/loader.conf file. Once kern.cam.ctl.ha_peer is set, and the peers connect to each other, the log messages should reflect this: CTL: HA link status changed from 0 to 1 CTL: HA link status changed from 1 to 2 The link states can be: 0 – not configured, 1 – configured but not established and 2 – established Then ctld is configured to export /dev/da0 on each of the controllers Then the client is booted, and uses iscsid to connect to each of the exposed targets sysctl kern.iscsi.failondisconnection=1 on the client is needed to drop connection with one of the controllers in case of its failure As we know that da0 and da1 on the client are the same drive, we can put them under multipathing control: gmultipath create -A HA /dev/da0 /dev/da1 The document them shows a file being copied continuously to simulate load. Because the multipath is configured in ‘active/active' mode, the traffic is split between the two controllers Then the secondary controller is turned off, and iscsi disconnects that path, and gmultipath adapts and sends all of the traffic over the primary path. When the secondary node is brought back up, but the primary is taken down, traffic stops The console on the client is filled with errors: “Logical unit not accessible, asymmetric access state transition” The ctl(4) man page explains: > If there is no primary node (both nodes are secondary, or secondary node has no connection to primary one), secondary node(s) report Transitioning state. > Therefore, it looks like a “normal” behavior of CTL HA cluster in a case of disaster and loss of the primary node. It also means that a very lucky administrator can restore the failed primary controller before timeouts are elapsed. If the primary is down, the secondary needs to be promoted by some other process (CARP maybe?): sysctl kern.cam.ctl.ha_role=0 Then traffic follows again This is a very interesting look at this new feature, and I hope to see more about it in the future *** Is SPF Simply Too Hard for Application Developers? (http://bsdly.blogspot.com/2016/10/is-spf-simply-too-hard-for-application.html) Peter Hansteen asks an interesting question: The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is unloved by some, because it conflicts with some long-established SMTP email use cases. But is it also just too hard to understand and to use correctly for application developers? He tells a story about trying to file his Norwegian taxes, and running into a bug Then in August 2016, I tried to report a bug via the contact form at Altinn.no, the main tax authorities web site. The report in itself was fairly trivial: The SMS alert I had just received about an invoice for taxes due contained one date, which turned out to be my birth date rather than the invoice due date. Not a major issue, but potentially confusing to the recipient until you actually log in and download the invoice as PDF and read the actual due date and other specifics. The next time I checked my mail at bsdly.net, I found this bounce: support@altinn.no: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:: host mx.isp.as2116.net [193.75.104.7]: 550 5.7.23 SPF validation failed which means that somebody, somewhere tried to send a message to support@altinn.no, but the message could not be delivered because the sending machine did not match the published SPF data for the sender domain. What happened is actually quite clear even from the part quoted above: the host mx.isp.as2116.net [193.75.104.7] tried to deliver mail on my behalf (I received the bounce, remember), and since I have no agreement for mail delivery with the owners and operators of that host, it is not in bsdly.net's SPF record either, and the delivery fails. After having a bunch of other problems, he finally gets a message back from the tax authority support staff: It looks like you have Sender Policy Framework (SPF) enabled on your mailserver, It is a known weakness of our contact form that mailervers with SPF are not supported. The obvious answer should be, as you will agree if you're still reading: The form's developer should place the user's email address in the Reply-To: field, and send the message as its own, valid local user. That would solve the problem. Yes, I'm well aware that SPF also breaks traditional forwarding of the type generally used by mailing lists and a few other use cases. Just how afraid should we be when those same developers come to do battle with the followup specifications such as DKIM and (shudder) the full DMARC specification?
