In this episode of The Deep Life Podcast, we are joined by medicine woman & “death dreamer” Brittany Smith for a profound discussion on the themes of death, ego, pain and spiritual growth. Throughout the conversation we delve into the concept of 'death dreaming,' the ways in which pain acts as a portal to presence, and how one's relationship with pain can reveal deeper truths about life and death. Brittany shares her personal experiences and insights, including the challenges of emotional pain, and the cyclical nature of the feminine experience. The conversation touches on the importance of leaning into discomfort, redefining one's relationship with death, and how a conscious approach to pain can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. Tune in for an enlightening discussion filled with warmth, wisdom, and a touch of humor.
