The P.S. We Expire podcast centers around one big question:
This life is short, so why are we waiting?
Why are we waiting to…
start a business we can’t stop dreaming about?
leave a career, relationship, or religion that is unfulfilling?
create habits that carry us through hard times?
choose to have a loving relationship with ourselves?
Welcome. I’m Morgan. I’m an entrepreneur, mother, speaker, and mayhem-maker. I learned first-hand how challenging it is to navigate unexpected and painful circumstances. When my daughter was diagnosed with an incurable, degenerative disease at age 3, I learned quickly what was most important in life. I explored psychology, spirituality, philosophy, and healing. For the last 11+ years, I have learned tools and methods for mindfulness and resilience, and I share them on this podcast.
We all want more fulfilled lives, but that can only happen when we have honest conversations and authentic connections. Let’s have these conversations together here on the P.S. We Expire podcast.

Jessica and I delve into the profound themes of grief, loss, and hope. We share their personal experiences with the deaths of their children and explore how these experiences have shaped their perspectives on life, relationships, and resilience. The discussion emphasizes the importance of community, self-care, and finding joy amidst sorrow, while also addressing the complexities of navigating grief and the nature of hope.
