This one is personal. My conversation with Monica Douglas prompted me to listen back to the eulogy I wrote for myself around ten years ago.
It was less than three minutes long, but it contains some of the harder parts of my story, alongside the values, relationships and hopes that I wanted to shape the life still ahead of me. And, thankfully, there's also a somewhat lighter reminder that five-year-old Sue was already “annoyingly helping” people she thought were a little slow!
In this Insights episode, I’m reflecting on what happens when we ask: Who am I here to be? And am I living in a way that makes that true?
From writing our own eulogy to the invisible contracts we create in relationships, I look at how Monica’s thoughts about consciousness, growth and “becoming part of the solution” invite us to look more closely at how we’re living now.
In this episode:
- Writing your own eulogy as a way of looking forward
- The gap between imagined legacy and lived legacy
- The invisible contracts within our relationships
- Why becoming part of the solution may start much closer to home
