  • Behind the FuneralBabe: Bringing Humanity to Funeral Service

    Behind the FuneralBabe: Bringing Humanity to Funeral Service
    2026/09/14
    In this episode of The Stronger Together Podcast, we sit down with Melissa Jo Schmidt, better known to many as FuneralBabe. Melissa is a funeral director who has found a unique way to connect with people by talking openly, honestly, and sometimes with a little humour about death, funeral service, and what it really means to care for families during some of life's hardest moments. You can find Melissa and follow along with her work at FuneralBabe⁠ Behind the social media following is simply a person who cares deeply about the work and the people she serves. We talk about what brought Melissa to funeral service, the realities of working in deathcare, and what happens when you bring a traditionally private profession into the public eye. We also talk about the future of funeral service, supporting the people who do this work, and finding the humanity, compassion and even humour that can exist in it. At the heart of the conversation, it comes back to people — the families we serve, the coworkers beside us, and the importance of remembering that even in a profession surrounded by death, there is an awful lot of life, compassion and humanity in the work. Behind this podcast is Funeral Professionals Peer Support (FPPS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing meaningful peer support and resources for funeral professionals. FPPS exists to foster connection, understanding, and care within a profession that often supports others before itself.

  • A Conversation with Erica Cobb: Grief, Neurodiversity, and Support

    A Conversation with Erica Cobb: Grief, Neurodiversity, and Support
    2026/08/31
    In this episode of Stronger Together, Michael Dixon speaks with Erica Cobb, a Master of Social Work student at Carleton University and placement student with Funeral Professionals Peer Support. Erica shares how her lived experiences with mental health, grief, substance use in her family, and neurodiversity helped guide her toward a career in social work. Together, they discuss supporting neurodiverse youth, creating more inclusive schools and workplaces, and why people deserve to be understood rather than judged through stigma or assumptions. Erica also reflects on later diagnosis, masking, and the importance of accessible support for people whose needs may not always be recognized. The conversation explores the unseen emotional weight carried by funeral professionals and the need for mental-health resources designed with their work in mind. Erica shares what she has learned through her placement, including the importance of research, peer support, and helping professionals feel seen by the people supporting them. It is an honest conversation about grief, community, resilience, and the power of human connection. Whether you work in a helping profession, have lived experience with mental health, or simply want to better understand the people around you, this episode offers compassion, insight, and hope.
