#14 - Ute Luppertz
EPISODE #14
This week’s episode is a personal one. After a recent scare with his 17-year-old dog Jackson, Zach speaks with Ute Luppertz, a pet death doula who helps people navigate the loss of their animals with care and intention. They discuss how we can prepare for a pet’s passing, why grief around animals is often dismissed, and how rituals—big or small—can help us honor the deep connections we share. Ute also offers her perspective on what happens when our pets die, drawing from years of experience supporting others through these tender moments.
