Do What You Want!
The "Do What You Want" podcast is a place where I interview people who, at one point in their life said, “Ya know... I’m going to… do what I want” and then they go and… do what they want.
We're here to inspire others who are SO close to doing what they want, but may need a little inspiration or a push "off the cliff as they build the wings on the way down" (to quote Ray Bradbury).
Listeners can expect to hear stories straight from the mouths of adventurers, entrepreneurs and others who live life slightly (or very) outside the day-to-day norm many of us are used to.
If you're curious about:
- WHY people do the things they do
- WHAT other people do
- HOW people decide what is they WANT to do
... then you'll probably like this podcast.
Curious? Then give it a listen!

How to Talk About Death (Without Freaking Out) with Jill McClennen
In this episode of Do What You Want, we explore life, death, and everything in between with certified death doula Jill McClennen, host of the Seeing Death Clearly podcast. We talk about:
- Why preparing for death doesn’t make it arrive sooner—and how that superstition can create chaos later on.
- Jill’s powerful “aha moment” that led her from bakery owner to death doula after caring for her grandmother.
- What it’s like to start a business in a niche most people avoid thinking about—and how she makes it approachable
- Her experience supporting a client through New Jersey’s Medical Aid in Dying law and why language matters.
- The unseen chaos families face when there’s no plan: healthcare proxies, passwords, and last wishes left unspoken.
- How facing death has changed the way Jill lives—more present, more grateful, and more intentional.
- The balance between following a soul-calling and making a sustainable living—and why choosing stability doesn’t mean failure.
