{Re-Release} The Necessity of Memento Mori Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

It's our first ever "Modern Lady Throwback" episode!

"Memento Mori" is a Latin saying which translates to, "Remember Your Death". To our secular and modern minds, this is a jarring and uncomfortable clarion call to be sure, but it is one that we neglect at our own peril. This week, Michelle and Lindsay discuss how people have historically practiced "Memento Mori", and why it's necessary for us to remind ourselves often of the inevitability of our deaths.
