In this episode, Azure and Holly talk about a “deathbed conversations” exercise as a way to step back from overthinking and refocus on what matters. Azure describes using the question of whether we would be glad, at the end of life, that we spent time worrying about a particular issue.

They use examples such as aging, appearance, comparison, food choices, and other everyday concerns to show how much energy can be spent on things we would later consider unimportant and reflect on how this perspective can bring us back to what feels valuable and worth our attention.

Holly and Azure also discuss legacy and how we want to show up in daily life, including how we want other people to feel after spending time with us. Holly mentions writing a eulogy at a retreat as another way to think about how we want to be remembered, and we connect that to being present, listening, and contributing with intention.

They return to the idea that many things are made more complicated than they need to be and describe taking a simpler, more grounded view of life, and end by encouraging listeners to reflect on what they want to be proud of and what may be a waste of time.
