In this reflective episode, Adina and Joshua explore the ever-shifting nature of life — and how embracing impermanence allows us to live with more grace, freedom, and authenticity. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and grounded reflection, they unpack what it really means to let go, surrender to change, and find peace in the unknown.

• Why this is Joshua's final episode and what's next for him.
• How clinging often amplifies suffering.
• Fear of loss drives attachment — whether to people, situations, or outcomes.
• True surrender opens the door to infinite possibility and creativity.
• “The wheel of life always turns” — fulfillment and growth are cyclical companions.
• How facing fear and resistance to change becomes a spiritual practice.
• The impact of “small-t” and complex trauma — the subtle forms of wounding we often overlook.
• How ancestral and past-life patterns may echo through present experience.
• The power of self-compassion: meeting yourself exactly where you are.
• Cultivating connection with something greater — the key to navigating change.
• Synchronicities as affirmations that you’re aligned with your path.
• Presence as the gateway to both healing and growth.
• Life as an ever-evolving canvas, not a problem to solve.
• Challenges reframed as portals for expansion and self-discovery.

In this inspiring episode, Adina chats with Severn Eaton about his journey from a career in the arts to end-of-life care. Severn opens up about sobriety, spiritual awakening, and creative transformation, offering wisdom on how healing, art, and service intertwine. Severn reflects on how psychedelic and meditative practices helped him shed self-limiting beliefs and embrace a new way of living and creating.

Key Topics

• From Art to End-of-Life Care: How Severn’s creative background informed his calling as a death doula
• The Sacredness of Death: Lessons learned from being present with his mother during her final days
• Psychedelics, Sobriety, and Spiritual Growth: How healing practices led to clarity and compassion
• Ceremony and Presence: The role of music, silence, and beauty in end-of-life care
• Embracing Creativity and Impermanence: How art and death both invite surrender and transformation
• Unity in Diversity: Honoring all spiritual and secular perspectives at the end of life.
• Balancing the Material and the Spiritual: Finding wholeness in a world that often prioritizes achievement over being

Severn’s story is a powerful reminder that creativity, compassion, and consciousness are inseparable threads in the tapestry of life and death. His journey invites us all to live more fully, love more deeply, and meet death—our own and others’—as a sacred, natural transition.

Severn Eaton is a death doula, artist, teacher, father, and friend, raised in North Carolina, recently returned to Asheville from New York City. His background is primarily in visual arts, with a BFA from ASU and MFA from UNC-CH. His professional work has varied from studio practice, galleries and museums to building and academic positions. Recent turns have led him to in-depth studies in psychedelic therapies, dream studies and end of life care. He completed the Death Doula Program at the Center for Conscious Living and Dying in Swannanoa, NC. All of these practices are culminating in a unique way of serving a higher purpose in finding peace through working in healing arts and creative communities.
