- What she loves about her career and how she thrives
- Making death accessible and bringing
- Zoey’s confusing and painful personal life experience of beginning the grieving experience for her ailing mother that was cut short when her mother ended up going into remission unexpectedly
- How becoming a death doula and being the death doula for her grandmother allowed her to shift into
- The importance and necessity in “feeling your feelings”, what that means, and how to do it
- Miscarriage and child infant loss
- Experiences of sexual abuse, depression, and suicide
- How we can exercise empathy towards others and ourselves

Grief, Loss & Death can feel isolating, lonely and overwhelming.

She offers 1:1 Grief Coaching & Guidance Calls as well as hosts The Human Psychopomp Community Club for Self-Grieving, Self-Honoring & Healing.
