Podcasts about Hospice

Most people spend their lives trying to outrun death instead of learning from it. This episode shows you why facing mortality directly can unlock resilience, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace while upgrading longevity, human performance, and even brain optimization. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Suzanne O'Brien, RN—an end-of-life expert, hospice nurse, and founder of Doulagivers who has guided over 1,000 people through their final moments. She shares what the dying can teach the living about biohacking fear, letting go of unresolved trauma, and finding clarity before it's too late. Together they explore how hacking your mindset around death transforms not only emotional well-being but also physical health, neuroplasticity, and metabolism. You'll hear stories of people who discovered forgiveness and gratitude at the end of life, and how those practices directly influence mitochondria, sleep optimization, and longevity. They dive into the link between fear, stress chemistry, and chronic illness—and why tools like fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, supplements, nootropics, and functional medicine create the inner and outer resilience needed to face life fully. You'll Learn: • Why fear of death silently undermines health, performance, and human potential • How forgiveness and gratitude rewire neuroplasticity and boost brain optimization • What hospice nurses know about consciousness and near-death experiences that science is only starting to confirm • How unresolved trauma shows up as physical pain and disease at the end of life Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.

What happens when we strip away the fear and misconceptions surrounding hospice care? In this illuminating conversation with Rosa Hernandez, a pre-planning specialist with over four decades of healthcare experience, we discover that hospice represents not an ending, but a different way of continuing life's journey with dignity, comfort and personalized support."The limitation is not hospice," Rosa emphasizes throughout our discussion. "The limitation is the illness." This powerful distinction frames our exploration of what hospice truly offers - comprehensive medical care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of both patients and their families. Far from hastening death, hospice care often extends life when introduced early, creating space for meaningful connection during challenging times.We tackle persistent myths head-on: hospice isn't just for cancer patients or those on death's doorstep; it doesn't mean giving up treatment; patients aren't sedated into unconsciousness; and families aren't abandoning their loved ones by choosing this path. Instead, hospice represents an intensely personalized approach to care that meets patients wherever they call home, with services available 24/7 and crisis response typically faster than traditional emergency care.Perhaps most compelling is hospice's commitment to family support through education, respite care, and bereavement services. As Rosa shares poignant stories from her years of service, we glimpse the profound difference hospice makes in helping families navigate difficult decisions with confidence and grace. Whether you're facing these choices now or simply want to understand your options for the future, this conversation offers valuable insights into embracing life's final chapter with compassion and clarity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

Welcome to Episode 50 of the HPNA Palliative Perspective podcast—a meaningful milestone, and one that gave us pause to reflect on the incredible leaders who've shaped the hospice and palliative care space. In early conversations about this episode, we considered dedicating it to Betty Ferrell, a visionary in the field and the longtime Editor-in-Chief of JHPN, the Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing.  But, in true Betty fashion, those close to her reminded us she prefers to stay out of the spotlight. So instead, we're honoring her legacy in a way we think she'd appreciate: by celebrating the educators.  In this episode, we're shining a light on the hospice and palliative nurse educators featured in an upcoming issue of JHPN—innovators who are creating new programs and pushing boundaries in their Schools of Nursing to bring both primary and specialty palliative care to the forefront of nursing education. Their work is not only advancing the field but also shaping the future of compassionate care.  Join Andra Davis, PhD, MN, RN, and Megan Lippe, PhD, MSN, RN, ANEF, FPCN®, FAAN—guest editors of the November issue of JHPN—as they share powerful insights on preparing the next generation of nurses in hospice and palliative care. Educating future nurses requires more than just a solid curriculum—it demands mentorship, creativity, and a deep, ongoing commitment. In this episode, we explore why palliative care is no longer a “nice to have,” but a necessity in nursing education. From shifts in accreditation standards to real-world bedside challenges, Drs. Davis and Lippe discuss the essential role faculty and mentors play in helping students navigate the emotional, clinical, and human complexities of whole person care. We also explore how practicing nurses can be part of this movement—supporting learners and strengthening the future of compassionate care.   Podcast Notes/Links  JPHN Article, releasing in Nov— https://journals.lww.com/jhpn/pages/default.aspx   Betty Ferrell, speaking at HPNA Annual Conference, link  Scope, Standards and Competencies for the Hospice & Palliative RN & APRN, link  The Corner https://www.aacnnursing.org/elnec/elnec-faculty-corner      Megan Lippe, PhD, MSN, RN, ANEF, FPCN®, FAAN Dr. Lippe is Associate Professor with tenure at the University of Texas Health San Antonio and a national leader in palliative nursing education.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Dr. Jeannie May, whose story blew me away. She shared her near-death experience during the birth of her first child, which completely shifted how she saw life, medicine, and what it means to truly heal. That moment cracked her open to the fact that there's more to this world than the rigid, scientific lens she had been living through as a physician. Years later, on what she thought was just a casual breathwork training, she discovered a practice that allowed her to process emotions and traumas in a way years of talk therapy and medication never could. Hearing her describe how a single session felt like five years of therapy gave me chills.What I loved about our conversation is how she made something as simple as breathing feel like the most underutilized superpower we all have. We talked about everything from anxiety, depression, and stress, to how shallow chest breathing actually keeps our bodies stuck in “danger mode.” Dr. May shared practical tips like box breathing, 4-4-6 breath, and even the surprising sleep hack of taping your mouth at night to help your body rest and heal. And no, before you let your brain go there, this isn't some kinky thing. It's about better sleep, less snoring, and clearer sinuses. Honestly, this episode felt like an invitation to stop white-knuckling our way through stress and start using the power we already carry inside us.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Dr. Jeannie May is a board-certified physician helping people regulate emotions and heal through the power of breath.

Raised by athletes and shaped by a worldview that prized “winning at all costs,” Tristan never imagined his greatest challenge would come not on the ice, but in his grandfather's bedroom. When a sudden stroke left his grandpa bedbound, Tristan dropped everything—his business, his ambitions, his sanity at times—to become his caregiver. What began as an act of love turned into two years of daily sacrifice, frustration, and an emotional marathon he never trained for.In a conversation that is raw, unguarded, and full of unexpected humor, Tristan confesses to losing clients, losing himself, and clinging to the hope that, through sheer effort, he could “win” at hospice care. He talks about meals that became rituals of celebration and then routine, the slow suffocation of monotony and resentment, and the guilt and freedom that crashed in the moment his grandfather passed.This is not a tidy story of saintly caregiving. Tristan gets angry. He is exhausted, sometimes resentful, sometimes hopeful—and always searching for meaning. He talks candidly about masculinity, control, family pressure, letting go, grief, and the spiritual detours (numerology, astrology, and real attempts to predict the end) that became necessary delusions to survive. His journey is not about “overcoming” but about enduring, surrendering, and becoming someone new in the process.If you've ever cared for a loved one, lost your sense of self to someone else's needs, or struggled to accept that some stories don't have winners—Tristan's story is for you. “You Don't Win at Hospice” is a confession, a warning, and an act of hope for anyone carrying too much and trying to let go.Earth Monster is a storytelling podcast uncovering the rawest, most vulnerable truths behind the stories we use to carry us through life.

Hello Sweet Friend,

Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. In the quiet coastal city of Palm Coast, Florida, Dr. Svetlana “Lana” Kirchevshy-Ur is known for her compassion and dedication. A highly trained Hospice and Palliative Medicine Physician, with an Internal Medicine background and years of experience in nursing, homecare, and hemodialysis, Lana's life seemed firmly rooted in the world of medicine. But behind the white coat is a woman who has been navigating a storm few could imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Her journey is deeply intertwined with her husband, David Ur, a former Marion County Sheriff's Office Deputy. David's path to law enforcement was not a casual career choice, it was a calling. “He came from a long family line of Police Officers,” Lana recalls. “He wanted this more than anything. It was a dream he worked hard to achieve, even later in life.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The couple moved from New Jersey to Florida while Lana was completing her medical residency in Gainesville. On May 14, 2020, at the age of 45, David was hired by the Marion County Sheriff's Office after graduating from the police academy and completing field training. His first assignment in the patrol division began that August. Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . But within months, tensions began to surface. According to David's complaint, his reporting style clashed with the department's expectations. On May 10, 2021, less than a year into the job, David resigned “under duress” after being threatened with criminal charges for making “false reports.” Two days later, those threats became reality. David was arrested on four counts of making false official statements, charges stemming from a drug arrest incident where, according to Lana, “there were no allegations of any crime committed by my husband.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The legal battle stretched for years. “The State Attorney's Office kept refiling and changing charges,” Lana explains. “But in the end, 18 of the 20 charges were dismissed by a judge, and the last two were dropped.” Despite the outcome, the damage was lasting. David remains on the Fifth Circuit State Attorney's Brady list, which flags law enforcement officers with alleged credibility concerns. Inclusion on that list effectively blocks him from working in law enforcement anywhere else. The “Ocala Gazette” reported on October 4, 2024, that questions remain about how the Brady list is applied, noting that some officers with internal dishonesty findings weren't listed, while others were included for what appeared to be procedural mistakes. For David, the listing is more than a bureaucratic footnote, it is a career-ending label. Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Lana speaks about the ordeal with a mix of heartbreak and resilience. “We endured things I never imagined we would, public accusations, fear for our safety, financial strain. And yet, through it all, we had to keep moving forward.” After her residency, the couple relocated to Palm Coast for safety reasons. There, they found an unexpected new chapter. Together, they operate Rustic Dough Works, a pizza trailer that quickly became a local favorite. “It's our way of rebuilding, you can find us on Facebook, we post where we'll be, and the community has been amazing.” But the legal fight isn't over. David is exploring options to return to law enforcement and has filed lawsuits against the Marion County Sheriff's Office. “We believe in accountability,” Lana emphasizes. “What happened to David could happen to others. People need to know our story.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Their experience has become more than a private tragedy, it's now a public conversation about law, fairness, and the human cost of flawed systems. Through interviews, news features, and appearances on podcasts available on Apple and Spotify, Lana and David share their journey, using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to connect with others who have faced similar struggles. “This is bigger than us,” Lana says. “It's about standing up when the truth matters more than the consequences.” Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From a respected physician's office to the heat of a pizza oven, from the streets of Marion County to the feeds of social media, their story is a reminder that resilience can take many forms. And while the scars of the past remain, the future is still unwritten. Background song Hurricane is used with permission from the band Dark Horse Flyer.

In this I sit down with death doula Helen Gretchen Jones for a conversation that's not really about dying, it's about living with boundaries, honesty, and connection right until the very end. Helen shares what a death doula actually does, how she helps people and their families navigate those last moments, and why receiving care is not a sign of weakness. We talk about the power of saying what needs to be said before it's too late, the surprising role of hospice, and how our culture has distanced itself from death and why that might not be serving us. We also dive into closure, spiritual experiences at the bedside, and the parallels between birth and death support. Whether you're caring for someone now, have walked that path before, or just want to be more prepared for the realities we'll all face, this episode is equal parts heart, practicality, and permission to not do it all alone. What we cover: What a death doula is (and isn't). Why advocacy matters at the end of life. How to navigate feelings of being a “burden.” Hospice myths and what they actually provide. Spiritual and emotional experiences at the bedside. The importance of saying what needs to be said while you still can.

Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute and Forbes columnist, provided a comprehensive overview of recent public policy changes affecting older adults. Drawing from his expertise in aging and tax policy—stemmed from personal caregiving experiences—Gleckman analyzed the implications of the Trump administration's "big beautiful bill" and related executive actions as of August 2025. The focus was on Medicaid and Medicare reforms, which could reshape long-term care, costs, and access for millions of seniors and people with disabilities.Medicaid, which supports about 7.2 million seniors and 4.8 million younger disabled individuals (dual eligibles), faces a $1 trillion reduction in federal spending over the next decade. Key changes include:Work Requirements and Paperwork: Starting potentially in December 2026, states must impose work mandates, though older adults and those with disabilities are exempt. Family caregivers' status remains unclear, risking benefit loss for those quitting jobs to provide care. Recertification is now required at least twice yearly, increasing administrative burdens and potentially deterring eligible recipients.Funding Reductions: Limits on state provider taxes (e.g., on nursing homes) will cut federal contributions by about $120 billion starting in 2028. Expansion states under the Affordable Care Act lose extra funding from January 2026, forcing tough choices: cut benefits, limit eligibility, or raise taxes. Gleckman warned that optional home and community-based services (HCBS) are most vulnerable, as nursing home care remains mandatory. While the bill allows states to expand HCBS for less needy individuals without lengthening waitlists, funding cuts make this unlikely.Staffing and Workforce Impacts: The bill repeals Biden-era minimum staffing rules for nursing homes until 2034. Combined with mass deportations, this exacerbates shortages of direct care workers, driving up costs for facilities and families.Gleckman emphasized that states may prioritize institutional care over community-based options, potentially worsening outcomes for older adults preferring to age at home.Despite campaign promises to protect Medicare, changes aim to curb fraud, boost efficiency, and emphasize prevention—but at the risk of higher costs and reduced access:Prior Authorization Expansion: For the first time, traditional fee-for-service Medicare will require prior approval for 17 procedures (e.g., back surgeries, pain injections) in a six-state demo (New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Washington). CMS plans to use AI for reviews, with human oversight.Payment Adjustments: Skilled nursing facilities see a 2.8% payment increase for 2026, deemed insufficient by the industry. Home health agencies face a 6.4% cut ($1 billion+), sparking bipartisan opposition. The Labor Department repealed Obama-era rules, allowing home care workers to earn below federal minimum wage ($7.25/hour) and exempting them from overtime, per state laws.Enrollment and Programs: Easier enrollment in Medicare Savings Programs (for low-income beneficiaries) is delayed until 2034. The GUIDE program for dementia care navigation continues but with penalties if it fails to improve outcomes or save money. Value-based care is expanding, rewarding providers for quality over volume.Drug Pricing and Hospice: Trump favors "most favored nation" pricing to align U.S. drug costs with foreign markets, potentially supplementing Biden's negotiations. Hospice faces crackdowns on alleged fraud, though details are pending.Gleckman noted deregulation of nursing homes (e.g., rolling back transparency rules) and potential reductions in Medicare Advantage supplemental benefits like gym memberships due to insurer financial pressures.

Health care trainees rotate through a variety of different settings. ICUs, hospital wards, and outpatient clinics. If they're lucky, they might even spend time in a nursing home. But on today's podcast, we're adding one more setting to that list: your local art museum. In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how art museum teaching is being integrated into the education of medical professionals—and why it's making a profound difference. Our guests, Amy Klein, Laura Morrison, and Gordon Wood, share their journey of integrating art into medical training, along with practical strategies you can use if you're inspired to do the same. You'll also hear how engaging with museum-based medical education can help health care professionals deepen empathy and emotional awareness, practice the skill of multiple perspective-taking, and grow more comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty. Resources mentioned in the podcast include: A story about one medical student's experience with a day in the museum using multiple museum-based education exercices A Journal Article published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine titled “Museum-Based Education: A Novel Educational Approach for Hospice and Palliative Medicine Training Programs”  A journal article on “Twelve Tips for Starting a Collaboration with an Art Museum.” A handout from the 2025 AAHPM/HPNA preconference gives examples of museum-based education exercises and resources for further training.  Alex's summary of some prompts we discussed for the “Personal Responses Tour”, which is a reflective exercise where participants choose artwork based on a personal prompt, then share with a small group. The prompts include: Find a work of art that reminds you of a patient Find a work of art that reflects a challenging clinical situation Find a work that speaks to an experience you have had in your palliative medicine training that taught you about the impact of bias or racism Find a work that connects to the path you took into palliative care or geriatrics Find a piece that makes you think about community Find a piece that reflects your idea of what a “good death” is Lastly, stay on the “look out for” the 2026 Art Museum-Based Education preconferences session at the AAHPM/HPNA annual meeting on March 4, 2026 in San Diego!
