Anam Cara Academy: A Journey of Exploring Death and Celebrating Life with Mary Telliano

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, we explore the disconnection between people and death and how it has led to fear and suffering with our guest, Mary Telliano. This episode invites us to reflect on our own mortality and examines death in a new light that allows us to connect with ourselves and our loved ones, and to celebrate the sacredness of the moment. Mary has a mission; to rebrand death. Through training other death doulas, to education on grief, as well as the Anam Cara Podcast. Mary is midwifing the rebirth of dying well. In order to rebrand death we must first normalize it. Mary is connecting people to the universe that resides within them, and serving as a reminder that death is here, it is something we get to experience and it is ready to be carried in a new light. 

Main Topics Discussed:

• Death as our greatest life coach (and preparation for our own)
• Honoring the choices of our loved ones in transition
• Healing our relationship to loss
• When to call upon a death doula
• Choosing our legacy as future ancestors

Conclusion: Death is not the enemy; it is a mystery to be embraced. We can use our understanding of death to live life more fully. Cherish the moments, be present, and create a life that you want to be remembered for.

Action Integration: Reframe the way you view death, and seek to establish that death is a natural part of life that can be approached with clarity, intentionality, and care.
