Friends, family, listeners and those bold enough to be here -
Five days ago, we launched Episode 9 of 10 in Season 1, and we’re finally sitting down to relish it—and send the signal your way! This episode has a unique charm, and we’re so proud to share it with you.
This special episode, "'Til Death Do Us Part, and What Comes Now," features none other than John Haase — Tamatha’s husband, partner, and so much more.
As John shared live in the studio, this episode serves as a reminder that, as humans, we have to “be willing to have our world turned upside down.” Together, we laugh, cry, reminisce, and dream our way through this universal truth.
What to Expect in Episode 9
In this heartfelt and candid episode, you’ll hear:
🟣 Pragmatism Meets Whimsy: John, with 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, grounds Tamatha’s boundless creativity.
🟣 Shared Laughter: The joy of two people who truly “see” each other through life’s ups and downs.
🟣 Depth and Levity: Profound insights balanced with moments of humor.
🟣 Navigating Uncertainty: How John finds support while preparing for Tamatha’s eventual death, takes on more parenting responsibilities, and works to stay in the present moment.
🟣 Exploring the Unspoken: Tackling topics and emotions we often avoid.
Plus, per usual, you'll get to consider upgrading your relationship to death & dying, and consider how to live in your legacy now; via death positive end-of-life conversations that fold in legacy building, grief transformation (anticipatorily); mindful living with death awareness (living with purpose); of course, embracing mortality; and life and legacy planning, together.
Special Thanks
To Johnny: Thank you for your full-hearted support of Tamatha—especially when she embarked on yet another project like Grand Exit, knowing how precious time is. Thank you for being so vulnerable in this conversation and for sharing perspectives that aren’t often heard, particularly from men. (And yes, we’re still laughing about the Vegas bar tab!)
To Harper: Thank you for lending both your parents to this episode. We hope that one day, when you listen, you’ll hear how amazing they are—and how deeply they love and like you!
