  • 4 ~ Shining the Light on Death Preparation - with Lucinda Light
    In this episode, Lucinda and I dive into the beauty of holistic death preparation - the practical, the emotional, the spiritual, and the deeply physical realities of what it means to live well, love well and leave well. Together we uncover, discover, and gently question the parts of end-of-life planning that most people avoid or never even consider. Our hope is to show you that these conversations don’t need to be clinical, dark, or intimidating. They can be curious, heartfelt, honest, sometimes hilarious and deeply connective. So many people only ever see Lucinda in her light - happy, brave, emotionally intelligent, luminous but in this conversation, she lets you into where she sits with her mortality, her perfect death scenario and her legacy. And that’s the whole point: death is real. We are all going to die. And facing that truth with openness brings a strange kind of freedom.We hope this episode encourages you to explore your own relationship with mortality, to listen with an open heart, and maybe even to have a beautiful, honest conversation of your own. If it gives you something, a spark, an idea, a new perspective, or simply permission to begin to lean into death preparation, then we’ve done what we came here to do.Links & Resources:** PLEASE Download the Live Well Leave Well Holistic EOLP here: https://www.deadicate.com/eol-planLucinda Light For more about the delightful and divine Lucinda please check out her website https://www.lucindalight.com/More about Eddie FitzPatrickEddie FitzPatrick is an English-Australian songwriter and facilitator based on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm/Melbourne.

  • 3 ~ Responsible Dying Meets Responsible AI - with Matt Kuperholz
    As AI rapidly reshapes how we live, work, and relate, it’s also beginning to transform how we die, how we are remembered, and how our legacies, both personal and digital, are preserved.Matt joins me to explore where machines meet mortality, memory, and meaning. With decades of experience at the forefront of AI, ethics and future technologies, Matt is helping shape how the world thinks about humans and machines evolving together.But this isn’t just a conversation about death and data or what it means to be human in the age of AI; it’s also personal. Matt and I talk about his own death preparation - his resistance, the shift, and how preparing now softens the grief and administrative tasks our children will face in the aftermath of death. To prepare for and be accountable for your own death is a simple yet powerful final act of love because it is not just about responsible AI, it’s about responsible dying.Since recording this podcast, Deadicate has been developing an AI companion - LWELL.LWELL is a gentle end-of-life AI guide - a collaboration between heart and technology, making end-of-life planning more accessible, easily resourced and actionable across the practical, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of dying and grieving.We will continue to learn and evolve LWELL.

  • 2 ~ The Heartbeat of VAD Reform in Victoria - with Jane Morris
    As life expectancy grows and our relationship with death evolves, conversations around voluntary assisted dying (VAD) and its role in society are becoming more crucial than ever. Our guest Jane Morris is a true trailblazer in this space. As president of Dying with Dignity Victoria, she has been a strong advocate for VAD, working tirelessly to ensure compassion, autonomy, and justice are at the heart of end-of-life care. In this episode, we discuss the need for VAD reform in Victoria and our recent visit to Parliament House to campaign for these changes. More information on Jane and her organisation can be found here.Further Information & SupportIf this episode raises difficult emotions for you, please know that you are not alone.Here are some trusted places you can reach out to for information or support:💜 Voluntary Assisted Dying InformationComprehensive, state-by-state information and advocacy are available through:🌿 Dying With Dignity Victoria: https://www.dwdv.org.au/🌐 Go Gentle Australia: https://www.gogentleaustralia.org.au/vad_in_your_stateor by contacting your State Health Department:https://www.health.vic.gov.au/patient-care/voluntary-assisted-dying💛 Griefline – Free, confidential grief support📞 1300 845 745  |  8 am–8 pm AEST, 7 days🌐 griefline.org.au💚 Grief Australia – National grief education and support📞 1800 642 745🌐 grief.org.au💙 Lifeline – 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention📞 13 11 14  |  💬 lifeline.org.au (chat online anytime) This podcast is hosted by Baci Hillyer.

  • 1 ~ Elevating End-of-Life Doulas to Essential Care - with Helen Callanan
    Despite being a universal experience, death remains poorly understood, planned for, and supported. As the ageing population grows and hospital systems are stretched thin, it is time to recognise the vital role of end-of-life doulas.What if having an end-of-life doula was considered as usual and as necessary as having a GP, psychologist, accountant, mobile network or a hairdresser? I sit down with the extraordinary Helen Callanan, who’s been instrumental in making that vision a reality. Helen is the founder of Preparing the Way and the visionary behind Australia’s first accredited Certificate IV in End-of-Life Doula Services. She’s trained thousands of EOLDs to bring calm, care, and clarity to life’s final chapter, me included! Helen and I discuss why EOLDs are essential - not just at the end, but long before, during and after we take our last breath. We talk about how preparing for death might be the most loving thing we ever do.To find a doula, visit doulaconnections.com.au or preparingtheway.com.auAlternatively, you can find an EOLD as a member through held.org.au or NDAN.com.au This podcast is hosted by Baci Hillyer.
