Gail Rubin and Karen Salmansohn Sept. 15

What happens when a death educator sits down with a behavioral change expert?

We’re about to find out!

On Tuesday, September 15, I’ll be joining bestselling author and behavioral change expert Karen Salmansohn for a live conversation on Substack.

Karen is the creator of the Substack columns, The Stand Up Philosopher: Weighty Musings, Lightly Served, and Some Things Worth Sharing. And there’s her website, NotSalmon.com. She shares smart, funny, practical insights about happiness, resilience, relationships, and making positive changes in your life. Her latest book is Your To-Die-For Life. Want to make sure you’re not just alive . . . but truly living? Start by contemplating your death. Because nothing will motivate you to seize the day . . .more than realizing your days are numbered.

I, of course, spend my time encouraging people to talk about mortality, funerals, grief, and planning ahead. My latest book is 98.6 Mortality Movies to See Before You Die: Remarkable Films and TV Shows to Discuss Death and Plan Ahead.  Read more about Gail Rubin.

Sounds like we should have plenty to talk about.

We’ll explore life, death, change, resilience, and everything in between. And knowing the two of us, I’m betting there will be plenty of laughter along the way. Because serious subjects don’t always require somber conversations.

Join us live Tuesday, September 15 at noon Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Mountain. CLICK HERE to join the conversation.

Come with your questions, your curiosity, and your sense of humor.

After all, talking about death won’t kill you. And it just might help you live more fully.

A Good Goodbye
