You Only Die Once: Mortality, Planning, and So Much More with Jodi Wellman

In today’s episode, I was thrilled to interview Jodi Wellman on her work on mortality and how the concept of death / our finite lives can inspire living a life with vitality, meaning, and — for lack of a better term, more “aliveness.” Jodi holds a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and spent years exploring and applying these tough topics to help others with her work on Four Thousand Mondays and her recent book, You Only Die Once. Jodi explains her fascination with memento mori, how it all relates to planning, the darker side of habits and routines, and so much more.

You can find Jodi’s work at fourthousandmondays.com and her book, You Only Die Once (which – as you can tell from this interview, I LOVED!), at all major book retailers.
