A great interview with Professional Photographer Carter Cundiff of Kate Styles Photography. We explore how grief-focused photography can help honor loved ones, why saying their names matters, and where end-of-life planning meets compassion. Carter shares her practice, shamanic training, and how images become legacy, while we unpack the role of death doulas and the realities of caregiving.

• grief-informed portraiture that preserves memory and meaning
• intuitive vs analytical grieving styles and when each helps
• shamanic training as a path to self-awareness and service
• death doulas’ role in planning, advocacy and family support
• triggers, resilience and the quiet rituals of remembrance
• ethical care for aging clients and honoring final wishes
• why photos and printed keepsakes outlast the hardest seasons
• resources to connect with Carter and continue the work

A quiet truth powers this conversation: writing a book is only half the work—bringing it to the people who need it is the other half. I walk through the path from private pages written for healing to a public launch designed to serve clients in grief and the advisors who guide them. Along the way, I unpack how to ask for help without feeling self-conscious, why a launch team turns readers into advocates, and what happens when gratitude replaces hesitation.

Join my launch Team: Launch

I dig into the practicalities of a mission-led launch: setting a clear runway toward the release date, inviting early supporters with an advance reader copy, and offering real value through a private training called Being Present When It Matters Most. That training blends personal experience and professional practice, including a case where coordinated presence changed a family’s final days for the better. You’ll hear how simple, steady actions—language, timing, documentation, and emotional cues—can transform the advisor-client relationship during the hardest moments of life.

If you’ve ever wondered how a book about grief and finances can feel both deeply human and rigorously useful, this is your blueprint. I share what we learned from publishing partners about marketing that respects your audience, how early reviews shape a book’s impact, and why community is the best amplifier of hard-earned wisdom. For anyone navigating loss, or any advisor determined to show up with skill and heart, you’ll leave with concrete steps to get involved, learn, and lead.

Join the launch team for early access, perks, and the private training, and help bring this work to those who need it most. Subscribe, share with someone who could use the support, and leave a review to guide future listeners.

I am excited to share my new book Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers with Shaking Hands

I have an exclusive invitation for my listeners... Join my book launch team for Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers with Shaking Hands and help bring this message into the world: Launch

I kick off Season 10 by sharing the plan to write my first book on grief and financial care, how my publishing partner helped shape my voice, and why new tools can ease the hardest weeks after a loss. We invite you to meet our guests, join the launch team, and help us make this guide honest and useful.

My book explores the complex financial and emotional crossroads of grief with clarity, dignity, and compassion.

My hope is that it creates a connection where people feel seen and heard — especially in places where money has been linked to pain, past experiences, and our sense of self-worth. Readers will gain language for what often feels unspoken, practical clarity in the midst of emotional decisions, and reassurance that they are not alone.
