Episode 91: Death Doula

The Boise Bubble Podcast ·

2024/05/30

Death is a topic our culture doesn’t seem to be very competent or confident talking about. Which is incongruent with the fact that, to paraphrase our guest, death is the most universal experience we have as humans. Some people may go most of their lives not confronting the reality of death until a loved one dies or they themselves receive a terminal diagnosis, and by that time we likely haven’t reconciled with the inevitability of death or developed any tools to deal with it. We want to change that

There is a delicate balance between women experiencing menstruation and PMS and their spouses being able to safely address it. What you might not expect is that

It’s not everyday you meet a doctor who has made being a doctor their side gig. That’s an obvious exaggeration, but it’s what our friend (and sponsor) Dustin Portela of Treasure Valley Dermatology has done. Doctor Portela’s success at building a local skin care network across the Treasure Valley has been rivaled (and perhaps overshadowed) by his rise in dominant social media platforms TikTok and Instagram, which he has used to great effect in achieving his mission of making high-quality skin care

2023/10/25

It seems like dating after getting into a committed relationship should be a simple thing. We’ve found that not to be the case, especially in the weird dynamic of choosing a restaurant. Why is this so difficult for so many couples? And we were no exception to this problem, at least for a while. In this conversation we discuss some ways to make dating a little easier: tools for establishing expectations, listening to each other's needs and figuring out the purpose of a date night, how needs for time
