Top Tips for Living a Bold Life...from Dead People! with Mary McGreevy, Creator of Tips From Dead People
Description
What makes a life worth living?
In this thought-provoking episode, I interviewed Mary McGreevy, creator of the TikTok account, 'Tips from Dead People,' to explore this very question through the lens of bold moves. Mary, a video producer and public speaker with a deep interest in obituaries, has garnered over 177,000 followers by sharing the life lessons she’s derived from reading thousands of obituaries.
Our discussion dives into her findings about what makes a life worth living and if there’s any connection to making bold moves, how she has redefined success and failure as a result of the stories she’s learned, and her message for everyone, particularly women, on creating a successful life.
