187 Surviving with Laughter: Angela Nissel Talks Hospice and Healing Host Marie Betcher, a former hospice nurse, interviews writer and memoirist Angela Nissel about her book "Good Grief: Pass the Bread, Mom is Dead" and her mother's end-of-life journey. Angela describes a complicated, achievement-focused relationship with her RN mother, who hid advanced breast cancer and feared judgment for "giving up." Angela brought her to Los Angeles, expecting more treatment, but a doctor recommended hospice; her mother felt relief and was on hospice about six weeks. Angela shares what caregiving taught her, including learning to "just be her daughter," navigating pain medication fears, misconceptions that hospice hastens death, a brief end-of-life rally, and the value of dignity, trust-building, and services like 24/7 care and music therapy. She says hospice became their best, most connected time together and writing later helped her talk about death and grief. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:35 Meet Angela Nissel 03:08 A Complicated Mother Daughter Bond 04:54 Caregiving Lessons in Hospice 07:53 Cancer Progression and Hospice Decision 10:26 Nurse Identity and Letting Go 11:55 Her Nursing Career and NICU Work 14:33 Grief Writing and Dark Humor 16:21 Siblings and Hiding Illness 19:24 Changing the Fight Cancer Narrative 22:12 Comfort Meds and Hospice Myths 25:21 Terminal Rally and 24 7 Care 29:44 Inside the Book and Hospice Journals 32:09 Final Reflections and Goodbye     If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a coping tool deeply woven into first responder culture: dark humor (Amazon Affiliate). For years, it creates connection, diffuses tension, and helps process the unthinkable. But what happens when it stops working? This episode explores the moment when laughter no longer relieves pressure, jokes feel hollow, and the emotional weight underneath begins to surface. It's not a failure of resilience—it's often a sign your nervous system is ready for a different level of processing and healing.

The Third Man by Graham Greene---Exploring Graham Greene's postwar classic, The Third Man, Jesan Sorrells and Ryan J. Stout unravel the psychology of unreliable narrators, leadership in times of nihilism, and the timeless challenge of ethical decision-making amid a world of grifters and cons.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about the quiet, unsettling experience many first responders have after intense calls—the moment when the adrenaline fades, the scene is over, but instead of feeling relief, sadness, or even shock… you feel nothing. Not calm. Not peace. Just blank. This is the emotional shutdown that often follows high-impact incidents. The kind where you know something big just happened, but your body and mind seem to go offline instead of processing it. You're back at the station or home with your family, but internally you feel distant, muted, and disconnected from your own emotions.

Send us a textThe toughest calls rarely end when the sirens go quiet. We sat down with Alaska-based counselor Morgan Yaskus to explore how real support for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and paramedics takes shape in small communities where everyone knows your truck, your shift, and your business. Morgan spent three years on a nonprofit-led mobile crisis team working alongside first responders through MOUs, navigating scenes that were neither strictly medical nor criminal. That proximity reshaped how debriefs happen, how trust is earned, and why cultural competence matters more than any script.We get honest about the barriers that keep first responders from care: parking outside a therapy office that sits between the firehouse and PD, the risk of being recognized by neighbors, and the thin bench of clinicians who truly “get it.” Morgan breaks down what helpful looks like—clear boundaries, discreet logistics, and a therapist who understands dark humor without pathologizing it. We challenge voyeuristic “worst call” questions and focus instead on regulation, meaning-making, and peer-informed support that fits the tempo of the job.Beyond the room, access and policy loom large. Telehealth opened doors, but interstate licensure compacts and reimbursement rates remain sticking points in places with higher costs of living. We talk ethical realities in rural practice, the trade-offs when conflicts of interest are unavoidable, and the duty to serve when the alternative is no care at all. If you're a responder, a clinician, or a leader trying to build a healthier department, you'll leave with practical steps for debriefs, privacy, and finding culturally competent help.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with your team, and join us for Part 2!To reach Morgan, go to www.bewildandrooted.comFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

If you're hunting for a Christmas horror movie that isn't cozy or cute, Dead End (2003) is a nasty little gift waiting on a snowy back road. On this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi sink into the cult Christmas chiller where the Harrington family's Christmas Eve shortcut becomes an endless nightmare of cursed highways, ghostly women in white, and a hearse that feels like it's driving straight out of the afterlife.Recorded as a holiday special (Henrique even wishes “my spookies” a very happy holidays right up top), this conversation leans hard into holiday horror vibes: the stress of family gatherings, the dread of long winter drives, and how Dead End weaponizes Christmas lights, carols, and obligation into something suffocating and surreal.Henrique and Rachael dig into the film's French indie roots and cult status—shot on 35mm for around $900,000 and later becoming a huge word-of-mouth hit on DVD—with an eye for what makes its single stretch of road feel so oppressive.   They unpack the Harrington family's bickering, secrets, and guilt; the symbolism of the woman in white and the black car; and how the twist ending recontextualizes every dark joke and cruel fate along the way.You'll also hear how Dead End stacks up against other Christmas horror classics, why it's perfect “between-holidays” viewing when you're sick of saccharine movies, and whether it deserves a bigger spot in the seasonal horror rotation alongside titles like Black Christmas and Krampus. By the end, you'll know more about Dead End than you ever thought you needed—and probably be eyeing your next late-night drive a little differently.Inside this episodeHoliday stress & family horror: How Dead End turns a simple Christmas Eve drive to the in-laws into a pressure cooker of resentment, secrets, and supernatural punishment.The woman in white & the black car: Breaking down the film's ghostly mythology, the hearse imagery, and what those apparitions say about guilt, death, and being “collected” on that endless winter road.Road-movie minimalism: Why keeping the action on one night, one family, and one stretch of forest highway makes the film feel like a bleak Christmas Twilight Zone episode.Budget vs. atmosphere: The tricks that make a ~$900k holiday horror movie feel bigger and more timeless than many larger-budget 2000s genre films.That twist ending: Henrique & Rachael's interpretation of the finale, Marion's survivor's guilt, and how the movie uses its reveal to reframe the entire Christmas Eve journey.Comparing Christmas horrors: Where Dead End sits in the holiday horror canon—and why road-trip terror might be the most relatable Christmas nightmare of all.Where to watch Dead End (2003) – U.S. streaming(Availability can change—these are current as of December 2025.)Amazon Prime Video (subscription / with ads) – Included with Prime / Prime Video with Ads https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Dead-End-2004/0HY9MUNJC4WLAX4JW97SS647H8 Tubi (free with ads) – Stream the full movie free: https://tubitv.com/movies/451127/dead-end Plex (free with ads) – Watch on Plex's on-demand movie section: https://watch.plex.tv/movie/dead-end Apple TV (rent/buy) – HD rental or purchase: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/dead-end/umc.cmc.1iym6o3m9wnyrxwfszyeb80p4 Fandango at Home (Vudu) (rent/buy) – Digital rental and purchase: https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Dead-End/1033867

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore the fine line between coping and concealment when it comes to dark humor in first responder culture (Amazon Affiliate). It's no secret that police, fire, EMS, and military professionals often use humor to process tragedy. The jokes, sarcasm, and morbid one-liners can bond a team through chaos — but they can also become emotional armor that hides deeper pain. We break down why dark humor develops, how it can help or harm, and what happens when laughter becomes the only way to survive the job.

Eric Edgar Cooke, nicknamed the Night Caller and the Nedlands Monster, was a serial killer who terrorized Perth, Australia from 1958 to 1963. He was incredibly hard to catch, because his MO was to not have an MO. Sometimes he ran over women in a stolen car. Sometimes he shot women. Sometimes he shot men. Sometimes his crimes were sexually motivated, other times purely opportunistic. He attacked one victim with an axe, another with a knife. He strangled one victim, punched others, and once even knocked on someone's door and when they answered he shot them in the forehead. He was mayhem personified, and the last man to be hanged in Western Australia.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?
