I loved talking with Lisa about making the leap to business ownership and encouraging others to make a change. She is such a supportive soul that wants to see other people win!

Lisa made the scary jump from a corporate job to life as an Interior Designer in 2011. And, amongst all the surprised faces, and comments like “is that a real job?”, and “are you sure that’s a good idea?”,  made it work – beautifully. She says "It takes a leap of faith to start something new – especially into an industry that can feel so closed off and secretive. I faced my fair share of challenges, and a lack of support, starting out. I wanted things to be different, to see a change in the interior design industry, and that's ultimately what let to me founding Interior Design Insiders."

I was so grateful to have the opportunity to talk to Jill. Hearing how her life pivots brought her to a career of helping people through their fears of dying and losing people they love. I think we can all benefit from hearing from Jill! Let me know what you think of this episode.

Jill McClennen is a certified death doula, a non-medical professional specially trained to provide holistic care for individuals in their final stages of life. She offers comprehensive support, preparation, and deep soul healing to her clients and their families, whether in person or through virtual sessions, as she works as a death doula and end-of-life coach.

In her virtual practice, Jill helps people prepare themselves and their loved ones for the end of life, offering guidance and emotional support, regardless of physical distance.

In addition to her role as a death doula, Jill is a trauma-sensitive yoga instructor. She also incorporates reiki and shamanic healing techniques to help clients address their fears surrounding death, cope with the dying process, and navigate their grief.

Jill is also the host of the "Seeing Death Clearly" podcast, available on all major podcast platforms. Through her podcast, she talks with guests and they share valuable insights and stories related to end-of-life matters, further extending her mission to promote understanding and compassion about this important stage of life.

Jill's journey into the world of death doula work began when she moved back to New Jersey from California to care for her 90-year-old grandmother during her final days. Faced with the challenges of her grandmother's impending passing, she felt confused and overwhelmed. She didn't know what to expect, and the process was unfamiliar to her. Today, Jill assists families in similar situations, helping them navigate the end-of-life journey with compassion and understanding.
