Ahoy! We are back for another emotional and exciting discussion about all things grief, death, and tragedy. My pal Cannon joins us and shares his experience losing his dad in 2011 and how it has shaped his life today. We laugh, we cry, and we share the wisdoms and lessons that can emerge from the tragedies we endure.

Thanks again to Cannon for bringing delicious beers and joining us in the loft to get vulnerable.

Let's talk soon.

Love, Dylan

Yagazoozy, gang!

Today we welcome Sammi into the ODAS club. After her father figure's death back in March of this year, Sammi recounts stories of her dad and the affectionate gibberish that they would speak with another, the hurdles she had to overcome in order to give herself the proper space to grieve, and the imposter syndrome she's been feeling since entering the wonderful world of bereavement.

Thanks again to Sammi for joining me in my studio in the clouds and for being bold enough to join me on our first interview of season 2.

'Til next time!

Love, Dylan

Good Mourning and welcome back in!

Today we reflect on my experiences with grief and the mourning of my older brother Damien in 2020. Looking back, my path of bereavement has been unique to me but boy howdy, if I haven't learned a lot. Now that we are on the other side (wherever that is), I can attempt to share my story and some of the things that helped along the way and some of the things that didn't.

Love,

Dylan

A collection of reflections and a spew for you. We talk about a stranger named Vincent, throwing cats in the computer room, and my fantastical anticipation of the year 2021.

Enjoy.

Let's talk soon.

Sweet, special Sunday!

Today I discuss death and spirituality with a stubborn old hussy. We dissect her nearly countless experiences with death, her responses to the tragedy in her life, and her general outlook towards this wild ride.

It is our longest episode to date with many deep dives into what has led our warrior queen to where she is today.

Enjoy!

We'll talk soon.

Mamma Mia Monday!

I got to cozy up by a fire with one of my best boys. We chat about purgatory, heaven and hell, redefining grief, Ghost Grandmas, and horrific spiders. And what a pleasure it was.

Enjoy!
