CURVEBALL EP. #68 PREPARING FOR THE END: ERIN MERELLI ON WHAT DEATH TEACHES US ABOUT LIVING WELL

What if facing death is the key to living more fully? On this episode of Curveball, death doula and educator Erin Merelli shares how profound personal loss shaped her mission to help others confront grief, plan for the end of life, and live with greater purpose. From regret and legacy to gratitude and the power of love over fear, Erin challenges our discomfort with death and reveals why the conversations we avoid may be the ones that matter most. Viewers will walk away with a powerful reminder: don’t wait for loss to clarify what matters. Have the hard conversations, tell the people you love what they mean to you, and make intentional choices today that reflect the life—and legacy—you want to leave behind.
