Sarah Cavanaugh

Alum 2023

Sarah (she/her) is a writer and podcast host who believes that talking about death can dispel our fear and build courage in the face of death. She interviews authors who have written on the topic to help normalize death as part of the human experience. Her podcast, Peaceful Exit, explores how to radically accept death by talking about and planning for it as well as finding meaning and connection in the complexities of death, dying and grief. At Mesa Refuge, she worked on a memoir about being born into a grieving family, losing her mother, and learning how to advocate for living and dying peacefully.
