On the show today, we’re going to be discussing a rather contentious, difficult topic, but it is one that Canada adopted. We’re going to be talking today about assisted suicide – and that’s when a person chooses their exit. How does the person’s decision affect their family? And how does their family cope with moving through the grief? These are just a few of the questions that we’ll be discussing with our guest today.

We have Collin Kingsmill with us, and he’s willing to share his experience. Collin was a successful banker in Switzerland, where he lived with his family. And he’s since moved, leaving everything behind. He now resides on Canada’s east coast. He also is a successful transformational coach. And we’ll also be hearing how he made that switch!


Here’s what we talk about:

  • Understanding that suicide isn’t an easy topic to discuss.
  • Collin’s mom having an exit plan prepared. She didn’t want to be a burden on anybody. And wanted to leave in a dignified fashion on her terms. 
  • How do these exit plans work?
  • Collin’s experience of knowing the date and time of her mother’s meticulously planned passing.
  • The effects of the loss on Collin’s life. 
  • The struggles that mean deal with when it comes to grief. It’s important to consider seeking professional help!
  • And much more!
