Living Fully: Embracing Life and Death with Cat Anderson

Special Guest: Cat Anderson | Host: Rod Janz | Episode 21

Welcome to SoulStream: Living from the Heart Podcast. In this episode, we sit down with Cat Anderson, an end-of-life doula, spiritual director, and new SoulStream board member. Cat offers compassionate end-of-life care, helping people process grief, explore life's big questions, and reconnect with love and meaning.

We dive deep into her journey—how she became an end-of-life doula and spiritual director, and how practices like silence, solitude, and connecting with nature have shaped her contemplative approach to life. Cat shares heartfelt stories about her work, offering insight into the sacred process of accompanying individuals through their final moments.

Our conversation touches on everything from the transformative power of being fully present to how facing mortality enriches life. Cat explains how her contemplative practices sustain her and why she sees death as an opportunity for deeper connection, reflection, and even healing. Her perspective invites us to embrace life more fully and view death with openness rather than fear.

Whether you're curious about end-of-life care, spiritual direction, or simply living from the heart, this episode is full of wisdom and inspiration. Join us for this deeply moving conversation that celebrates the beauty of connection and the sacredness of every moment.
