S3E9: Jennifer Muldowney, a Heart Grows Bigger

Jennifer Muldowney, from Dublin’s fair city, in Ireland, is an author, a podcaster, and a member of that exclusive set of people who has given a TED Talk.

But for this vivacious young woman, all these glamorous activities are in support of her unique, creative, small-ish, and growing business, which, not to put too fine a point on it, services the industry of passing and death. 

Jennifer's work is as much a service to the living survivors, as it is to the departed.

If you don’t know Jennifer, stick around and have a listen, you’ll love her to death.  Pun definitely intended. Stick around anyway if you do know her, and love her to death, as you do.  She’s been giving this mortality stuff a lot of thought, and it's worth your time to pause and reflect.

Remember, as we all learned in school, what Emily Dickinson wrote: Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped  for me -
