One question opened up a world of understanding for Dr. Andy Robinson early in his career: "What do you feel we should know that we don't?" It was asked by social worker to a reticent patient, who then exclaimed how nobody knew who we WAS; they only knew who he is now...a patient who was dying. This question and the response it created has stuck with Dr. Andy over the decades and underscored the importance of finding out not just what a patient has, but who they are. Dr. Andy has been an immensely important friend of the podcast, referring several of his patients as guests on the show, and we are deeply indebted to his kindness, understanding, and shared purpose of doing whatever he can to help others, especially at the end of life. --- Dying To Tell You: The Caring Perspective is a series of interviews with healthcare professionals who sit down with Cody to share stories of patients and experiences that have changed how they practice, how they view death, and how they live their lives.

For this podcast, I sat down with Andy Robinson from Seghesio Family Vineyards. I recently learned that Wine Spectator named Seghesio's 2022 Sonoma County Zinfandel the Top Value Wine of 2024—an incredible achievement, especially considering the global competition in the Top 10. Producing high-quality wine at a scale that reaches shelves across multiple states and countries—while keeping it affordable—is no small feat. That's just one of the many topics I explore with Andy in this conversation.

Patricia also explores expectations in her relationship with Jen, highlighting the challenges of navigating attachment injuries. She shares an email from a listener expressing gratitude for her vulnerability and relatability. Patricia concludes by affirming the importance of honoring all of your feelings. HIGHLIGHTS Takeaways · Having conversations about attachment wounds with a parent or caregiver can be a healing and transformative experience, but it is a privilege that not everyone has. · The healing work can still happen even if you can't do it with the person where the injuries originally happened. · The majority of healing work is done individually, with support from coaches or therapists, and having conversations with a parent or caregiver is just a small part of the process. · Navigating attachment and expectations in relationships can be challenging, especially for individuals with attachment injuries. It is important to communicate and share feelings with your partner (when it is safe and appropriate) to create understanding and connection. · Sharing vulnerability and authenticity can have a profound impact on others, as it helps them feel seen, heard, and less alone in their own struggles. · Embracing sensitivity and honoring all of our feelings, even the challenging ones, is an important part of self-care and self-acceptance.

Navigating Miscommunication and Misunderstanding Jen helps me process through a communication blip I had with my son. My husband & I have very different styles when talking to our boys, & I felt inadequate, and I sometimes struggle to attune. We talk about context when communicating, projection, who is a safe person to get angry at, & I talk about my own reactivity and confusion at my reaction. Jen reminds me that my family sticks with hard conversations. We also talk about having neuro-normative standards, & how that constantly leads to disappointment. CO-HOST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC HIGHLIGHTS Summary In this conversation, Patricia and Jen discuss their experiences with burnout and the importance of leaning into rest.

They emphasize the importance of staying connected and working through bumps in relationships, while also acknowledging the need for space and the reality of being imperfect humans.
