#19 - Life & Death Talk with Sharzad Kiadeh

Today's show is all about the taboo conversation of what it's like to deal with losing a loved one. My dad died when I was 17 and I've been wanting to talk about that experience ever since. So, when Sharzad started to share on social media that her mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer I knew we had to talk.

I am SO geeked out excited to have her on the show! You will hear about my creepy girl crush in the episode lol, but my stalker ass aside she is really such a gem. Truly entertaining, hilarious and delightful yet so real, vulnerable and honest about the fact that the struggle is real. She's such a breath of fresh air in real life and on the interwebs.

*Since this episode was recorded her mom has passed away, and we will likely record another one in a few months to talk about how she feels.

In this episode you will hear:

-Sharzad's story about her amazing mother who was diagnosed with terminal cancer

-How she has learned to cope with that news

-My story about how my dad died when I was 17

-A conversation we all desperately need because death is a part of life that we can't avoid

-A colon cancer joke that you will either love or will make you hate us both immediately

-Sharzad's tips for dealing with death
