A community for those ready to face life - and death - with courage, humor, and purpose.


Better Living, Better Dying:The Collective for Life, Death, and Everything in Between
“Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual. For the most part, society just pats us on the back and says, "Good luck, kid—hope you can figure it out!"
Better Living, Better Dying exists because we believe there’s a better way to move through life. Inspired by a vivid dream- and yes, with a playful nod to the old “I Love My BVDs” commercials of the 1980s- BLBD isn’t just a club; it’s a collective. We’re moving beyond location-based boundaries and building a diverse global network of people committed to navigating the chaos of existence together.
The Mission: Less Chaos, More Collaboration
As we age, the reality of "the end" starts to peek over the horizon. Usually, that brings pain, damage, and a whole lot of logistics. We want to change that.
The Goal
Lessen the chaos of death while making the "living" part a lot more fun.
The Method
Sharing life hacks, time-saving tips, and financial insights.
The Support
We’re here to provide personal support when resources permit, because no one should have to "ride the wave" entirely alone.
Action Items
Members will choose 5 Better Living goals and 5 Better Dying goals- selected from a provided list or personal inspiration- to pursue for themselves or others.
The Blog
Members share their specific goals: what worked, what crashed and burned, and what they learned in the process.
The Pivot
If a goal isn't happening, we don't do shame here. You either ask the collective for help or put it on the back burner and find a path that actually fits your life.

Stay up to date
Think of yourself as a surfer on the wave of life’s chaos.
We’re not here to deny the storms or chase “sunshine and rainbows.”
We’re here to find balance, ride the waves with grace, and help each other stay upright for the journey, until our time is up.
Welcome to the collective. Let’s be better, together.
