Dr. Kimberly Harms discusses the importance of end of life planning. She shares her journey from dentistry to becoming a grief counselor, death doula, mediator, and life coach after personal loss, emphasizing the importance of preparing for death and leaving a meaningful legacy. She explains how avoiding conversations about death often leads to family conflict, highlighting the need for clear wills, healthcare directives, letters of intent, and honest family discussions. Beyond finances, she stresses that legacies should center on love, resilience, forgiveness, and teaching life skills to future generations.  We discuss...  Dr. Kimberly Harms transitioned from a 30-year dental career to grief counseling and becoming a death doula after personal health issues and loss. She emphasizes the importance of preparing for death to prevent family conflict and ensure a peaceful legacy. Clear wills, healthcare directives, letters of intent, and family discussions are critical to avoiding post-death disputes. Legacy goes beyond money, including love, resilience, life skills, and emotional guidance for future generations. Grief is a process that requires active effort, time, and sometimes professional help to work through. Celebrating life after grieving can bring joy and help loved ones move forward. Discussing death openly with family, including children, helps prepare them and reduces misunderstandings later. Emotional affairs, forgiveness, and reconciliation should be addressed while alive to avoid burdening loved ones. Material possessions should be organized or distributed before death to minimize conflict. True legacy is remembered in the hearts and minds of loved ones, not through wealth or public recognition. Giving back through acts like teaching, volunteering, or creating positive impact can extend one's legacy beyond family. Preparing now—financially, emotionally, and relationally—ensures loved ones can thrive after one's passing.

Dr. Harms transforms the often daunting task of end-of-life planning into a compassionate journey, helping people navigate the emotional aspects of planning personal finances. She has witnessed death up close many times throughout her life, including the loss of her mother and her son to suicide and, eventually, her husband from a broken heart after their son's death. These events shaped her views on finding meaning in grief, and she set out on a mission to end the stigma around end-of-life planning. As a fourth quarter coach and international speaker specializing in grief, conflict resolution, and legacy planning, Dr. Harms goes beyond spreadsheets to help clients — often with the aid of financial planners — arrange their personal finances and estates with care and empathy, turning what can be a difficult process into a meaningful experience for families. Her book Are You Ready? How to Build a Legacy to Die For talks about how to build a legacy that lives on after your death. It was a #1 bestseller on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and has won numerous awards, including being named the most inspirational book of 2024 by the Pacific Book Awards.

Hi Witches This is possibly one of my favourite interviewees on the podcast and in my humble opinion one of the most important topics to delve into! Neesheta talks us through her role as a death doula and ultimately the topic of death. Neesheta carries the role of Oracle, Death Doula, and Movement Witch. She grew up with both sides of her family practicing magic, and many of these practices built the foundation for her magic today. She is also a Hekatean initiate and graduate of The Covina Institute under Dr. Cyndi Brannen, where she also serves as the Institute's Seasonal Movement Guide. Neesheta is also a retired cultural and aerial dance studio owner with over 14 years' experience teaching various dance styles including cultural, aerial, sensual, and esoteric movements. She believes that her experiences and her studies in Anthropology and End Of Life Planning have helped blend cultures and traditions into her teaching, dance, magical and mindfulness practices, and in helping others prepare to live the life, they desire, before their earthly death.

In this episode, Greg Barnsdale and I talk about career as a financial advisor, where he would encourage strongly to people the importance of getting their affairs in order, before he had his own brush with potential death after ringing in his left ear led to being diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Greg shares guidance and tips in this episode that are invaluable to anyone who has not yet done their preparations for death.  It is the one thing we will all do and the one thing most hide from!   Greg Barnsdale is an unusual undertaker. After years of stressing to others, ‘Get your final affairs in order' and finally publishing a book to inspire people, he was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Faced with a death sentence, he opted for surgery. He's now emerged with an extremely compelling message, shared by few others. His perspectives are unique as a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Executor Advisor, and hospice volunteer. As a death doula who has published a best-selling book about planning ahead, his message is gaining solid traction. His claims include the fact that end-of-life planning helps reduce the stress of aging, improves family harmony, leaves survivors more emotionally / financially resilient, increases social capital and improves court efficiency. This ultimately bolsters the economy.  He believes Confronting the reality of death also helps us live more fully.     I am your host, Marci Nettles.
