Today Emmy is back on the pod to chat with us about working as a death doula and all it entails!  Emmy C-G is a Witch and a trauma-informed Tarot & Akashic Records Guide. She’s a writer who adores making others feel simultaneously comforted and confronted. She is also a Death & Creativity Doula. Emmy's values are self-expression, intuition, and curiosity. She lives to support creatives, misfits, and the morbidly inclined who crave being seen, integrating their shadows, and welcoming transformation. Whether she’s podcasting, writing, or working through snags in a magickal or mundane way (or both for MAXIMUM spice), the end result is the same: Emmy is here to be unabashedly herself and to help others be the most authentic version of themselves.Emmy's websiteEmmy's IG OTD website
