NO. 220 You’re Going to Die with Ned Buskirk

This week, we’re bringing you a deeply real, wildly tender conversation with Ned Buskirk — founder of You’re Going to Die — an artist, grief guide, and all-around wise soul who is not afraid to look directly into the darkness… and still choose love.

Together we dive into:

  • How grief work can be healing — but also a sneaky trap for self-worth

  • The quiet ways life tries to harden us, and how to stay (or become) soft

  • Parenthood as a portal to awe, heartbreak, and presence

  • What it means to dissolve the ego and disappear into connection

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of this world — or confused about why you’re drawn to the darkness in the first place — this conversation will feel like a warm, unflinching hand on your shoulder.

Ned Buskirk is the Founder, Podcast Host, Facilitator, and Executive Director for You’re Going to Die [YG2D] – a 501(c)3 nonprofit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death and dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality.
