ABOUT THE GUEST:  

Christa Ovenell is a community educator, licensed funeral director, and end-of-life doula, and the founder of Death’s Apprentice Education & Planning. A simple message underpins all her work: death is part of life, and it's time we started treating it that way.

Christa is known for her grounded, approachable way of talking about death and dying: never sensationalizing the subject, just using these conversations as an essential tool for living well. She supports individuals, families, workplaces, and communities to think ahead, talk openly, and prepare thoughtfully for illness, aging, and death. Her approach is neither clinical nor abstract; it is rooted in real-world experience, deep listening, and a belief that informed choice and human connection can dramatically reduce fear and distress.

With a background that spans adult education, funeral service, and hospitality, Christa brings professional expertise and lived understanding to her work. She is particularly interested in “living loss,” dementia, home death, grief-aware workplaces, and values-based end-of-life planning. She also mentors emerging death doulas and educators, offering an honest counterpoint to overly romanticized narratives about death work, and emphasizing sustainable, community-centered models of care.

At the heart of Christa’s work is a simple but radical idea: that death literacy is a form of collective care. By normalizing conversations about mortality, legacy, and care, she helps people reclaim agency, reduce unnecessary suffering, and show up for one another with more confidence and compassion.

Whether she’s facilitating a workshop, speaking to a room full of leaders, supporting a family through incapacity/end-of-life planning, or advocating for greener end-of-life options, Christa creates spaces that are thoughtful, spacious, and deeply human. She is known for balancing seriousness with light humour and profound warmth, and for always making room for both darkness and light.

Christa lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia, and offers her programs throughout North America.

ABOUT THE HOST:

Nicole Spencer is the host and curator of Spirituality for Skeptics, a show that explores the shift from doubt to belief through raw, transformative conversations. Raised without spirituality or religion, she never expected to find herself on this path. In her mid-30s, mentors and personal experiences opened her to curiosity about the unseen, inspiring her to create a space where others could explore freely without dogma or prescription.

Before launching the show, Nicole built and sold two coaching companies at different stages of her career. Most recently, she scaled a business coaching brand to 8-figures in six years, generating over $13 million in that time. The success was rewarding and she remains grateful for it, but even at the height of achievement she sensed there was something more. Stepping away, she turned her focus to the deeper pursuit of peace, fulfillment, and meaning.

Through unpolished, emotionally honest stories, Spirituality for Skeptics offers a rare space for those who doubt but long to believe.

Tired of not getting what you want? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Paula Swope, author of "Thought Snob," as she shares her transformative journey from a life constrained by societal norms to one of empowerment and spiritual awakening. Discover how Paula's experiences with emotional intelligence, mindful awareness, and living in faith have shaped her unique perspective on life. From her upbringing in rural Kentucky to her profound realizations about spirituality and personal growth, Paula's story is a testament to the power of self-discovery and resilience. Tune in to explore the concepts of algorithmic spirituality, primordial sound meditation, and universal uprootings, and learn how these ideas can inspire your own path to a better life.

ABOUT THE GUEST:

Paula Swope is what happens when a sharp mind meets a spiritual mission—think scholar in Gucci shades and 4” Jimmy Choos. She’s the author of Thought SNOB: The Modern Spiritual Playbook For A Better Life, host of The Thought Snob Podcast, Founder & CEO of Spiritual Power & Alchemy (SPA) Retreats, and the unapologetically relatable voice behind a movement that teaches people to stop living in lies and start thinking for themselves. Her followers (over 300K) call her the most relatable self-help author—and they mean it.

Before building a business that helps people heal, manifest, and rise, Paula raised $60 million for underserved communities. Now, she raises consciousness. In addition to her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, she’s a Chopra-certified coach, a disruptor of disempowering narratives, and a soul-first entrepreneur who believes healing should be raw, funny, and backed by science. Her mission is to inform and educate soul seekers about nontraditional pathways to healing and success. Whether teaching at a retreat or visiting Graceland (you never know where you’ll see her), Paula is living proof that self-empowerment can be equal parts depth and edge.

ABOUT THE GUEST:

 

Anya Lincoln is the author of I Am and the creator of Identity Work, a transformative approach to consciousness and personal evolution. She teaches a kind of spirituality that doesn’t require belief in religion—one that’s accessible to anyone willing to look inward. Anya believes the spiritual path is the foundation for creating the kind of world we truly want. She sees what people seek in spirituality—peace, happiness, and connection—as the starting point, but believes where we are really headed is creativity. Her work explores consciousness and Identity—the personal consciousness carried from the past—inviting us to see why we unconsciously replay old patterns on both personal and global levels, and how we can consciously create a truly new reality.
