About this listen
In this powerful episode of Six Feet Ahead, host Oscar Guerrero welcomes Michael Dixon, founder of Funeral Professionals Peer Support. With over 30 years in the funeral profession, Michael opens up about his personal battles with trauma, anxiety, addiction, and burnout—experiences that led him to build a global peer support network for funeral service professionals.
Together, they explore:
- Why burnout and emotional isolation are so common in funeral homes
- How peer support can serve as the first line of mental health care
- The stigma that still surrounds mental illness in the industry
- The role of leadership in creating safer, healthier work environments
- How delayed trauma can surface long after the service is over
This is not just a conversation—it is a call for change. If you are involved in funeral service, or care about the people who are, this is an episode you need to hear.
