Keeping death close. Living more fully. - Invidious

Keeping death close. Living more fully.

If you are a woman in midlife who feels time speeding up and you do not want to drift through the second half of life: you are in the right place.

I am Dr Johanna Canady, a former molecular biologist turned birth doula and hospice volunteer. On this channel, I help women move from autopilot to intentional living by keeping death close enough to clarify what truly matters.

Here you will find:
• Honest conversations about midlife, identity, and desire
• Guidance on end-of-life planning and grief
• Simple practices to live with fewer regrets
• Reflections on motherhood, perimenopause, and the changing body
• The intersection of birth and death, and what it teaches us about living well

This space is for women over 40, especially mothers, who want to design the second half of life consciously instead of waking up at 75 wondering where it went.

If you want to live awake, brave, and kind and make decisions your future self will thank you for, subscribe and join the conversation.
