The Passion Witch Project Episode 13 - A Good Death Starts Here: How to Truly Live with Heather Stickney

What if the way we approach death is shaping how fully we allow ourselves to live?

In this deeply moving episode of The Passion Witch Project, I sit down with Heather Stickney, End-of-Life Doula and Transformational Life Coach, for a conversation about presence, grief, legacy, and the courage to live a life that is truly your own.

Heather shares what it means to sit vigil at the threshold between life and death—and how that work has revealed something profound: that a “good death” is often the natural result of a fully lived life.

We explore:

✨What end-of-life doula work really looks like (and why it matters more than we think)

✨How presence—not perfection—defines what it means to be “a good human”

✨The role of grief, emotion, and the full spectrum of feeling in being alive

✨Why so many people reach the end of life with unspoken regrets—and how to live differently now

✨Firewalking, fear, and what it means to step across the thresholds of your own life

✨The quiet, powerful practice of keeping promises to yourself

This episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to ask yourself:

👉 Am I living a life I would feel complete with?

Because as Heather so beautifully reminds us— we don’t have to wait until the end to start living.

Questions to sit with:

✨ If someone were to speak at the end of your life, what would you hope they say about how you lived?

✨ What emotions have you been taught to suppress—and what might open if you allowed yourself to feel them fully?

✨ Where in your life are you being invited to step through fear and into deeper alignment?
