When Your Calling is Your Business

AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 9, 2016 - PRLog -- It is already happening in the end of life field; soul based businesses are being created every week.

The 'death positive' movement, which we in the hospice field have been a part of all along, is really taking root outside of mainstream healthcare. People who have been affected by the gaps in health care and death care, who have first hand experience and beautiful skills to share are creating amazing services.

End of life doulas, home funeral guides, bedside singers, living wake ceremonialists, celebrants, caregivers specializing in end of life--we are responding to the call of consumers and our own hearts. It is a perfect blend of wanting to give and need.

Now, how do we finance this? How do the workers get paid? Many amazing nonprofits have closed due to lack of finances to fund great programs; people are drained of financial resources at the end of life sometimes; insurance companies are unlikely to help pay for 'uncredentialed' practitioners regardless of how beneficial their presence and how much money they save everyone. So presently in 2016, these services are volunteered or someone is paying for them directly (private pay model). Every doula I know will slide their fee and barter if they do charge for their personal services.

Today's show I'm speaking with Janice Underwood who is a business coach who is spiritually based. I asked her to talk to the multitudes of end of life practitioners who have a private practice or who are finally going to take the leap and make their vision a reality. Most of the obstacles to doing this are inside ourselves. I don't think we are surprised to hear that.

Blending spirituality with practical issues is always one of my favorite topics to explore. Join us in this very engaging conversation!
