In this episode of Moon Collective Sanctuary, host Lydia Luna, PhD welcomes Mary Telliano, an end-of-life and soul doula who creates space for spiritual connection during life's final chapter. Mary shares insightful stories from her work, including how a jolly nut businessman from Tennessee found 5-MeO-DMT more effective than morphine for his liver cancer pain, and how one woman overcame her terror of separation by experiencing it firsthand in ceremony. After discovering her calling while supporting her grandfather's transition, Mary left her finance career to help others navigate death's threshold. She explains her unique approach to legacy projects—from QR codes on gravestones that share recipes to cookbooks that preserve family traditions—and challenges listeners to rethink death not as an end but as a graduation. This conversation strips away fear surrounding mortality and offers practical insights for anyone seeking to support loved ones through their final journey or prepare for their own "final chapters."

Clinical psychologist Lydia Luna, PhD, and mindfulness expert Brian Shiers, LMFT, dive into the hidden crisis of men's mental health, exploring why men often suffer in silence. He has studied both traditional and secular mindfulness systems under some of the most renowned teachers on the West coast since 1993, acquiring over 20,000 hours of meditation practice. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, his private practice in Studio City, CA, focuses on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression, using CBT, EFT, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Drawing from his work with FBI hostage rescue teams and UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, Shiers reveals how traditional "warrior culture" has created a dangerous disconnect between men and their emotional lives. Through conversation, including Dr. Luna's personal experience of losing a partner to suicide, they examine how modern dating culture and shifting gender roles are reshaping masculine identity. Shiers shares practical approaches to developing emotional intelligence without sacrificing strength, offering crucial insights for men struggling to connect with their emotions, their loved ones seeking to help, and mental health professionals working to create lasting change.
