My guest, Alua Arthur is a certified end-of-life guide who shares gentle, eye-opening insights on letting go of fear, embracing presence, and finding peace in everyday living. It’s not about death - it’s about truly living.
Alua’s book, a New York Times Best Seller, is “BRIEFLY PERFECTLY HUMAN: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End.” Alua has been described as a guiding light.
