Description

I get asked this all the time, how do I do what I do? How do I walk into a stranger’s home, step around a lifeless body, wade through blood, bugs, and heartbreak… and then go home and sleep at night?

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to be a Death Investigator. From the chaos of crime scenes to the quiet moments of reflection afterward, I’ll walk you through how I mentally, emotionally, and spiritually manage this work. It’s not just about what I see, it’s about what I carry.

Join me as I share the tools, mindset, and stories that help me navigate this uniquely intense profession, and why, after all these years, I still feel called to it.
