The Endings You Don’t See Coming (Until They’re Gone) | Jonathan Fields

In this solo episode, host Jonathan Fields explores the phenomenon of unmarked lasts—the everyday endings that slip past without ceremony. Using personal stories, including the end of a fifteen-year chairlift ritual with his daughter, he explains why we fail to notice these moments and argues that this blindness is actually proof of a life fully lived. The episode weaves together personal reflection with research on how we anticipate endings and a provocative lens on the asymmetry of celebrating firsts over lasts.
