Hey what’s up welcome back to the Made Different podcast, where we shatter the myth that success and wealth are reserved for the chosen few. In this episode, I am chatting with Mary McElhattan, the visionary behind Permission Mission. Mary shares her journey and the importance of normalizing the conversation around mortality. From her personal experiences with loss to her professional insights as a chaplain, Mary emphasizes the need to prepare for the inevitable with empathy and openness. We discuss how families can begin these tough conversations, the benefits of pre-planning, and the emotional relief it brings. Whether it's facing a terminal illness or simply wanting to plan ahead, Mary's mission is to bring light to the certainty of death and help people find peace before it happens. Tune in for a powerful and eye-opening dialogue about life, loss, and legacy.
