This week, JVN is joined by Hospice Nurse Julie: palliative care expert, educator, and social media sensation known for her compassionate, candid conversations about death and dying. Julie shares what it’s really like to work in hospice, the powerful and mysterious moments that can happen at the end of life, and why preparing for your own passing—legally, financially, emotionally—is one of the most loving things you can do for the people you leave behind. Together, they explore how death is a natural part of life, how to start end-of-life conversations with your loved ones, and what it looks like to face the unknown.
