Flirting with Mortality

Your Legacy with Kit Pappenheimer

(Season 3 | Episode 140)

[TESSA] This is an emotional episode. With the crisis in Israel and the passing of my father a few months ago, I really needed to speak with Kit Pappenheimer. You may remember, from season two, our conversation with Kit and her husband, Jeff: Love in the Third Third of Act III. If not you might revisit that one. We had a wide-ranging conversation about their past lives and their current relationship. We discussed Jeff’s fascinating business venture and Kit’s work during the pandemic with individuals facing big life-changing and life-ending challenges.

But for our conversation today, I really wanted to understand and process loss and grief. Our world is giving us so many grave instances that challenge our ability to get through the day that I hope this discussion helps those in need of some tools to deal with it all. And in the midst of our chat we spend some time on legacy. How we want to be remembered. And by whom.

Through the beauty of this podcast medium, you have the opportunity to listen in on our conversation and grow some in the process. I know I felt a lot better after speaking with Kit.

FLIRTING WITH MORTALITY WITH KIT PAPPENHEIMER

Kit Pappenheimer

I am dedicated to helping you focus on what really matters.

Are you ready to flirt with your mortality? To live more fully and consciously now— with the end in mind?

To examine your legacy and embrace your influence as an elder, to not only impact yourself but also contribute to a broader shift in societal perceptions of aging and end-of-life matters. This is my dream.

My 15 years as an educational executive, leadership coach, and volunteer caregiver for the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco give me unique insight into the issues you may be facing as you age and as you take care of parents who are facing their own end-of-life challenges.

My passion and my calling is to help you recognize your influence, name and own your dreams, and create a conscious legacy.
