Appearances & Media
Yes, I Talk About Death a Lot...Also About Joy.
Grateful to be invited onto podcasts as well as radio & television shows, to speak to diverse groups, and to teach or keynote at conferences.
I'm on a mission to encourage conversations about death and grief, living mindfully, reconnecting to our senses as a path into joy & well-being, the power of giving, and how we can each make the most of our heartbroken-and-still-beautiful lives for ourselves and others.

Alyssa Scolari,
Therapist, Clinician & Host of the podcast Light After Trauma
This episode had me emotional! With that said, I can't think of anyone I'd rather talk about such a difficult topic with. Kimberley is a kind and compassionate grief expert...bringing both personal pain and expertise to help us navigate the difficult journey of grieving.
Mark Mulholland,
WNYT-TV Anchor/Reporter
& Host of The UpBeat Podcast
Kimberley Pittman-Schulz was an amazing guest! Her thoughtfulness, openness, and insightfulness led to an inspiring episode that will be of great help to our listeners who are dealing with grief and hard times and trying to find joy again. She was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her as a guest to others.
Sheila Rocker-Heppe,
Director of Cal-Poly Humboldt Extended Education
As a two-time keynote opening speaker for our regional Women, Wealth & Wisdom Conference, Kimberley was awesome. She pushed the audience a little out of their comfort zone, bringing her unique blend of inspiration and humor—the reviews from attendees were enthusiastic.
