Coaching a Death Doula Turn a 2-Night Immersion Into a Year-Round School | Willow Green | Ep 1027

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"What people really need is a safe space to unfold who they really are." — Willow Green

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Willow Green, a death doula and two-time author who has spent two decades studying human behaviour and the aging process. Willow came in certain she could not explain her own work. She explained it perfectly, then heard it back for the first time.

The conversation opens up consent as the foundation of any real risk, immersion over observation, and what it costs a leader to hold space for everyone and never be held.

Three things to take with you:

Your message is not unclear. It has never been received.
Only someone who can say no has a yes worth anything.
You cannot guide anyone through a door you have only read about.

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
