I asked Mortality, my Life Coach, why we’re so afraid of death.
Mortality spoke about how we hide the dying, of productivity as distraction, of our discomfort with endings, and what it costs us in presence, purpose, and peace - as well as environmental impact.
The idea for this film came to me in a vision (as many of my film ideas do). Figuring out film content is tricky, especially when the topic is something most people instinctively avoid. I plan to experiment with all sorts of ideas. The Conversation With Mortality series concept is part of a strategy to make this difficult conversation accessible.
I’d love to know, does this format work for you? Does it feel confronting, or freeing, to hear Mortality speak? Please comment below.
A quick note:
Rather than sending two newsletters each week (one text and one video), which risks cluttering inboxes, I’m planning to create a library of videos on Substack instead. This way, members can easily access all the videos in one place.
Starting next week, there’ll be one newsletter each Saturday for a more spacious rhythm, I hope, for us all.
Live happy,
Hoppy
