261 - Grief, Gatherings, and Connection with Dana Pake

<p>In this episode, Logan sits down with Dana Pake, founder of Lalago Experiences and death doula in training, a personal conversation about grief and it's space at events. Dana shares what three decades of lived experience with grief has taught her about connection, why grief shows up in rooms full of people more than we realize, and what most event professionals miss when it does. Logan also opens up about her own experience with loss while running her business, making this an episode that goes far beyond event planning and into what it really means to create authentic connection in the room.</p><p><br /></p><p>SHOW NOTES:</p><p>Purchase our on-demand How to Start an Event Planning Business Workshop: <a href="https://bettereventspod.com/workshop" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bettereventspod.com/workshop</a></p><p>Connect with Dana Pake:</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danapake/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/danapake/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.francisweller.net/books.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Francis Weller, Wild Edge of Sorrow and In the Absence of the Ordinary</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kirstennoack.com/blog/pema-chodron-impermanence" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Pema Chondren, How We Live is How We Die (explaining concept of Bardo)</a></p><p><a href="https://lauralynnejackson.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Laura Lynn Jackson, Signs and Guided</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Learn more about the pod, Better Events Conference and more: <a href="https://bettereventspod.com/the-latest" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bettereventspod.com/the-latest</a></p><p>THANKS FOR THE LOVE!
