\tI sat down with hospice nurse Julie McFadden to explore the profound intersection of biology and spirituality in dying. Julie’s viral insights demystify death, revealing how our bodies intuitively prepare for transition—and why mystical experiences like shared death encounters transform fear into awe. We discuss her book Nothing to Fear, the power of contemplating mortality, and how hospice care reshapes life’s priorities. Join us for a conversation that’s equal parts science and soul.
