Die So You Can Live - A Journey Into Our Living Funeral
Thu Feb 05 2026
What if you attended your own funeral—while still alive?
In this deeply honest and moving episode of the Awaken Change Podcast, Kelly McGee and I reflect on our shared experience of a living funeral—a powerful death simulation ritual designed to release old identities, beliefs, and patterns in order to fully step into what’s next.
As I approach a milestone birthday and we both navigate profound life transitions, the conversation opens into themes of death, rebirth, gratitude, non-attachment, and spiritual transformation. We explore what it means to “die before you die,” how confronting mortality can awaken a deeper appreciation for life, and why letting parts of ourselves go is essential for growth.
This episode touches on:
Living funerals and death simulations
Spiritual death vs. physical death
Non-attachment, Buddhism, and surrender
Identity shifts, grief, and transformation
Gratitude, legacy, and self-acceptance
Writing letters as if you’ve already passed
Green funerals, nature burials, and returning to the earth
How crisis and loss can initiate awakening
