Recent Appearances of the Molly Carlile AM, the Deathtalker®

Afterlife Explorers Conference 2016

Waking Mad sits down with “The Deathtalker”® to explore dying and death. Molly explains that particularly in the west, we need to be far more upfront and open about death by having conversations we tend to avoid. She clarifies that by doing so, we actually reassure and empower dying people and provide relief for their loved ones. Death does not have to be taboo or a denial state – it can actually be useful for living life well. Watch this awesome video to find out more.
