EP 5: Biking Solo Across Central & South America, Homebirth, and Thoughts On Death with My Mom

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast! In honor of Mother's Day, today's episode features a conversation with my mom, Jane Happy.

In this episode we touch on a whole host of topics, including (but not limited to!): her experience biking solo across Alaska and Central & South America in the early '90s; the process of electing to give birth at home to both of her children; her thoughts on death as a Hospice Social Worker and how her perspectives have shifted over time, among so many other things.  

This episode is fun and insightful and honest and real, on so many levels. I am deeply grateful to Jane for sitting down and sharing her stories and wisdom borne of lived experiences. 

Please feel free to reach out to the show at [email protected] with thoughts, reflections, ideas, feedback, or whatever is on your mind. I would love to hear from you!
