The Money:Mindshift podcast

Show Notes

In the final episode of season two, Dr Tom takes on one of life’s toughest subjects and asks how we can prepare for death - not just practically or financially, but emotionally too. He’s joined by Swedish death cleaning coach, Asa Nilsson, who explains how decluttering our homes, finances and digital lives can reduce the burden we leave behind and bring peace in the present. Later, grief communication expert, Kathi Balasek, shares her personal story of loss and unpacks why grief isn’t something to ”get over”, but something we learn to live alongside - and how honest conversations can help us and those we love navigate it.
