Are you in your Redemption era, or are you just regurgitating the same violence the world has committed against yourself in an effort to be self-empowering? For this introductory episode of Death and Her Shadows, we discuss the phenomenon around people metaphorically killing the part of themselves they deem as “weak and fragile” in order to become the best versions of themselves.

Disclaimer: This episode contains mentions of suicide, depression, and anxiety. Please listen at your own discretion.

About the host:

Viridia-Mae (she/they) is a death doula, shadow worker, and death work educator. She stumbled into death work to bring attention to death in marginalized communities where trauma is televised for entertainment or used as shock value to further political narratives. “I give space for my own audience to work through their anxieties surrounding their own mortality and hopefully provide spiritual guidance to those processing grief and loss.” She’s also the author of the Substack newsletter, The Shadow Space, which expands on death work, humanitarian activism, opinions on social issues, and simply being human.
