death + stuff
an exceedingly-brief every-weekday reflection on finding more in mortality
In a lot of ways, death + stuff is about disruption – disrupting a death-phobic culture that makes the reality of our mortality even scarier than it needs to be and makes it harder to mourn when our loved ones of whatever species cross that great and mysterious divide.
It’s also about disrupting the pay-for-access model. I mean, it has its place. I’m just not interested in death + stuff being one of those places.
Instead, free subscribers get the exact same content and access as paid subscribers.
So, why on earth would anyone pay?
That is a legit question, friend, and here’s the answer: All subscriber moneys fund a scholarship program meant to disrupt the reality that coaching is an advantage almost exclusively given to already-advantaged people. It’s an ethics thing.
When you subscribe – free or paid – you’ll receive exceedingly-brief reflections each weekday morning with roughly these themes:
- Mondays: meditations while cooking
- Tuesdays: our web of interconnection
- Wednesdays: deconditioning
- Thursdays: memories of a friend’s dying
- Fridays: walk the talk
My hope it that at least now and then, you’ll find more in mortality, including the relief of looking at it directly and discovering that not only are you able to but that your life and focus are enhanced along the way.
How about a sample?
Meet SB...
Known equally for her laughter and her cogent questions, SB is the business coach who takes a holistic view and the empowerment coach who brings the work down to earth. While her psychology degree from UNC-Greensboro and coach training from the Coach Training Alliance shaped her understanding of human behavior, her innate abilities to create cohesive pictures out of seemingly disparate parts and see people from the intersection of what is and what could be are what makes coaching with SB a particularly unique experience. From the brick ranch on a creek in Southwest Virginia that she shares with her wife, Theresa, and their pit bull pup, SB collaborates with those seeking their bigger selves and badder lives across the country and around the world.

Holding Space: A Conversation about How to Be There for People Going Through Hard Stuff
If you’d like to feel more skillful in being with people who are going through hard stuff, we made this gathering for you.
Yoga off the mat
We tend to think of yoga as the classes where very thin white people gather in swanky neighborhoods. There is so much more to it, especially when we take it off the mat.
introducing Death + Stuff
It’s a new project with a bonus twist of helping getting more coaching to more people.
Rediscovering ritual
Ritual was something I found hollow during my early life. Now, I see how it helps us mark life’s richness with intention.
