In today’s episode, Adam Zuckerman chats with Angelyn Frazer-Giles, a woman who wears many hats—founder of Heirloom Estate and Legacy Preservation, and President of the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA). Angelyn has dedicated over 25 years to advocacy and end-of-life care, and her insights into the world of end-of-life doulas are nothing short of enlightening.
Angelyn shares what it truly means to be an end-of-life doula, guiding individuals and their families through one of life’s most challenging moments with compassion and care. She discusses the importance of preparing for the end of life, how cultural perspectives on death vary around the world, and how INELDA is working to educate and train more doulas every day.
This episode is not just about the logistics of death—it’s about embracing the journey, having those tough conversations, and finding peace in knowing your loved ones will be taken care of when the time comes. Angelyn also opens up about her personal story, from the sudden loss of her mother at a young age to her deep commitment to helping others navigate end-of-life planning with dignity.
