Episode #018 The Labor of Grief with Harmony Crawford

In this moving conversation, Laura sits down with Harmony Crawford - a death midwife, data consultant, and yogi - whose life’s path has led her to the threshold between life and death more than once.

Together, they explore what it means to sit with dying, to witness the labor of letting go, and to find grace in the hardest goodbyes. Harmony shares the story of her brother’s unexpected death, her stepfather’s final wish to die in a remote Mexican village, and how yoga became a sacred space for her grief. A place to breathe, surrender, and begin again.

This episode is a beautiful meditation on control, surrender, and the mysterious energy that connects us all. It’s about how death can be both devastating and holy (and how showing up for it, with courage and curiosity, can change the way we live).
