Ep. 05 Jessie Williams - Death Literacy and Reclaiming the End of Life

In this episode, we are talking to Jessie Williams. Jessie is the CEO of the Groundswell Project, a not for profit that helps individuals, organisations, and communities improve how people in Australia die, care and grieve, through a mixture of education, community outreach, and initiatives.

They are hoping to make conversations about death and dying more comfortable and more commonplace.

We talk about death literacy, building compassionate communities to support those at the end of life, and about Jessie’s personal experiences that led her to work with the Groundswell Project.

We hope you enjoy this conversation.
