Send us a textWhat can the dying teach us about living? In this transformative conversation, Dr. Kathy Zhang, a palliative care physician, shares profound insights from her work with patients at the end of life that can revolutionize our approach to parenting and emotional wellbeing.Dr. Zhang reveals how witnessing death daily has paradoxically enhanced her appreciation for life's simple joys. Rather than creating fear, regular exposure to mortality has normalized it, allowing her to find deep gratitude in mundane moments like "just waking up." This perspective shift offers parents a powerful lens through which to view their daily interactions with their children.The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Dr. Zhang introduces her "bathtub metaphor" to explain the crucial difference between rest and restoration. Many parents mistakenly believe that "doing nothing" on weekends will recharge them, then wonder why they feel just as depleted on Monday. She explains that rest merely "plugs the drain" to prevent further energy loss, while true restoration actively "adds water to the bathtub" through meaningful connection with yourself or others.About Dr. Zhang:Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang is a hospice & palliative care physician, TEDx speaker & hypnotist. She has comforted thousands of dying patients and held space for their deepest secrets, biggest regrets and final wishes. She's made it her mission to share these life-changing insights so people can benefit from deathbed wisdom while they're still young and healthy. Follow Dr. Zhang on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/dr.luyikathyzhang/Want to join Curious Neuron's Reflective Parent?

Dr. Kathy Zhang has spent her career on the frontlines of life and death, supporting patients in their most vulnerable moments. A hospice and palliative care physician, TEDx speaker, and certified coach, Kathy transforms the wisdom of those nearing the end of life into lessons that inspire the living. Diagnosed with ADHD in her mid-30s, Kathy has used her neurodivergent brilliance to pioneer techniques that connect people to their inner wisdom, regulate their nervous systems, and overcome emotional blocks.In this episode, Kathy shares her journey from a sensitive, introverted child to a medical doctor driven by connection and purpose. She reflects on the challenges she faced as a first-generation immigrant navigating cultural expectations and societal pressures, and how those experiences shaped her compassionate approach to caregiving. Through stories from her practice, she illustrates how understanding and addressing nervous system dysregulation can unlock resilience, clarity, and peace.Kathy also delves into the transformative power of hypnosis and meditation, explaining how these tools can help rewire the brain for positive change. Whether you're seeking to calm your mind, address trauma, or embrace life with intention, Kathy offers practical strategies rooted in neuroscience and empathy. Her insights remind us to live fully while we can and to use the lessons of mortality as a catalyst for meaning and connection.Resources:Website: https://luyikathyzhang.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/purposefilter/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luyikathyzhang/ Send a Message: Your Name | Email | MessageLearn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

Ralph and the team invite cofounder of RootsAction, Norman Solomon, to autopsy the carcass of the Democratic Party after Donald Trump's decisive defeat of Kamala Harris in the presidential election. They dissect what happened on November 5th and report what needs to be done about it. Norman Solomon is co-founder of RootsAction.org and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of War Made Easy, Made Love, Got War, and his newest book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.The Democrats couldn't even get their base vote out that they got out in 2020. And what are they looking at? Are they looking at themselves in the mirror for introspection? Are they cleaning house? Do they have any plan whatsoever— other than collect more and more money from corporate PACS? This is a spectacular decline.Ralph NaderWe kept being told that party loyalty über alles, we had to stay in line with Biden. And…that lost precious months, even a year or a year and a half, when there could have been a sorting out in vigorous primaries. We were told that, "Oh, it would be terrible to have an inside-the-party primary system." Well, in 2020, there were 17 candidates, so there wasn't space on one stage on one night to hold them all—the debates would have to be in half. Well, it didn't really debilitate the party. Debate is a good thing. But what happened was this party loyalty, this obsequious kissing-the-presidential-feet dynamic allowed Biden to amble along until it became incontrovertible that he wasn't capable.Norman SolomonA lot of people on that committee—and of course, running the DNC—they and their pals had this pass-through of literally millions of dollars of consultant fees. Win, lose, or draw. It's like General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, they never lose a war. And so, these corporate donors, they never lose a presidential race. They didn't lose what happened with Harris and Trump. They cashed in, they made out like the corporate bandits that they are.Norman SolomonOne reality as an activist that I've come to the conclusion on in the last couple of decades is that progressives tend to be way too nice to Democrats in Congress, especially those that they consider to be allies. Because they like what some of the Democrats do…and so they give too many benefits of the doubt. It's like grading them on a curve. We can't afford to grade them on a curve.Norman SolomonIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 11/6/241. As of now, Donald Trump is projected to win the 2024 presidential election by a greater margin than 2016. In addition to winning back Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona, Trump also appears to have flipped Nevada – which went for both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Most shocking of all, Trump has won the national popular vote, something he failed to do in 2016 and 2020 and which no Republican has done in 20 years. Democrats also faced a bloodbath in the Senate elections, with Republicans on track to win a 54 seat majority in the upper chamber.2. Bucking tremendous party pressure, Representative Rashida Tlaib declined to endorse Kamala Harris at a United Autoworkers rally in Michigan just days before the election, POLITICO reports. Tlaib urged attendees to turn out but “kept her speech focused on down-ballot races.” Tlaib is the only member of “the Squad” to withhold her support for Harris and the only Palestinian member of Congress. She has been a staunch critic of the Biden Administration's blind support for Israel's campaign of genocide in Palestine and voted Uncommitted in the Michigan Democratic primary.3. Along similar lines, the Uncommitted Movement issued a fiery statement on the eve of the election. According to the group, “Middle East Eye ran a story…[which] contains unfounded and absurd claims, suggesting that Uncommitted made a secret agreement with the Democratic Party to not endorse a third-party candidate.” The statement goes on to say that “this baseless story…is misguided at best and a dishonest malicious attack at worst.” Uncommitted maintains that “leaders and delegates are voting in different ways, yet remain untied in their mission to stop the endless flow of American weapons fueling Israel's militarism.” In September, Uncommitted publicly stated that they would not endorse Kamala Harris, citing her continued support for the Biden Administration policy toward Israel, but urged supporters to vote against Donald Trump.4. Progressive International reports that over 50 sovereign nations have called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel, calling it “a legal, humanitarian and moral imperative to put an end to grave human suffering.” This letter cites the “staggering toll of civilian casualties, the majority of them children and women, due to ongoing breaches of international law by Israel, the occupying Power,” and warns of “regional destabilization that risks the outbreak of an all-out war in the region.” Signatories on this letter include Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Norway, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Bolivia, and China among many others.5. Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush have sent a letter to President Biden accusing him of illegally involving the American armed forces in Israel's war without proper Congressional authorization. Per the accompanying statement, “The Biden administration has deepened U.S. involvement in the Israeli government's devastating regional war through comprehensive intelligence sharing and operational coordination, and now even the direct deployment of U.S. servicemembers to Israel. Not only do these actions encourage further escalation and violence, but they are unauthorized by Congress, in violation of Article I of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973.” The letter concludes “The Executive Branch cannot continue to ignore the law…In the absence of an immediate ceasefire and end of hostilities, Congress retains the right and ability to exercise its Constitutional authority to direct the removal of any and all unauthorized Armed Forces from the region pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution.” This letter was endorsed by an array of groups ranging from the Quincy Institute to Jewish Voice for Peace to the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, and signed by other pro-Palestine members of Congress including Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and André Carson – though notably not AOC.6. In a story that touches on both the election and labor issues, the New York Times Tech Guild voted to go on strike Monday morning. The Times Tech Guild, which represents “workers like software developers and data analysts,” at the Times negotiated until late Sunday night, particularly regarding “whether the workers could get a ‘just cause' provision in their contract…pay increases and pay equity; and return-to-office policies,” per the New York Times. The Guardian reports “The Tech Guild's roughly 600 members are in charge of operating the back-end systems that power the paper's…[coverage of] the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump – but also the hundreds of House and dozens of Senate races across the US that will determine who will secure control of Washington in 2025.” Kathy Zhang, the guild's unit chair, said in a statement “[The Times] have left us no choice but to demonstrate the power of our labor on the picket line…we stand ready to bargain and get this contract across the finish line.”7. In more labor news, AP reports the striking Boeing machinists have “voted to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks, clearing the way for the aerospace giant to resume production.” The deal reportedly includes “a 38% wage increase over four years, [as well as] ratification and productivity bonuses.” That said, Boeing apparently “refused to meet strikers' demand to restore a company pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago.” According to a Bank of America analysis, Boeing was losing approximately $50 million per day during the strike, a startling number by any measure. The union's District 751 President Jon Holden told members “You stood strong and you stood tall and you won,” yet calibration specialist Eep Bolaño said the outcome was “most certainly not a victory…We were threatened by a company that was crippled, dying, bleeding on the ground, and us as one of the biggest unions in the country couldn't even extract two-thirds of our demands from them. This is humiliating.”8. Huffington Post Labor Reporter Dave Jamieson reports “The [National Labor Relations Board] has filed a complaint against Grindr alleging the dating app used a new return-to-office policy to fire dozens of workers who were organizing.” He further reports that NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo is seeking a “Cemex order” which would “force the company to bargain with the [Communications Workers of America].” In a statement, CWA wrote “We hope this NLRB filing sends a clear message to Grindr that…we are committed to negotiating fair working conditions in good faith. As we continue to build and expand worker power at Grindr, this win…is a positive step toward ensuring that Grindr remains a safe, inclusive, and thriving place for users and workers alike.”9. In further positive news from federal regulators, NBC's Today reports “On Oct. 25, the United States Copyright Office granted a copyright exemption that gives restaurants like McDonald's the “right to repair” broken machines by circumventing digital locks that prevent them from being fixed by anyone other than its manufacturer.” As this piece explains, all of McDonald's ice cream machines – which have become a punchline for how frequently they are out of service – are owned and operated by the Taylor Company since 1956. Moreover “The…company holds a copyright on its machines…[meaning] if one broke, only [Taylor Company] repair people were legally allowed to fix it…due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act…a 1998 law that criminalizes making or using technology, devices or services that circumvent the control access of copyrighted works.” This move from the Copyright Office reflects a larger pattern of regulators recognizing the issues with giving companies like Taylor monopolistic free reign over sectors of the economy and blocking consumers – in this case fast food franchisees – from repairing machines themselves. With backing from public interest groups like U.S. PIRG, the Right to Repair movement continues to pick up steam. We hope Congress will realize that this is a political slam dunk.10. Finally, in an astounding story of vindication, Michael and Robert Meeropol – sons of Ethel Rosenberg, who was convicted of and executed for passing secrets to the Soviet Union – claim that long-sought records have definitively cleared their mother's name. Per Bloomberg, “A few months ago, the National Security Agency sent the Meeropols a box of records the spy agency declassified…Inside was a seven-page handwritten memo…The relevant passage…is just eight words: ‘she did not engage in the work herself.'” Put simply, Rosenberg was wrongfully convicted and put to death for a crime she did not commit. The article paints the picture of the men uncovering this key piece of evidence. “After he read it, Robert said his eyes welled up. “Michael and I looked at it and our reaction was, ‘We did it.'”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Doctor, coach and podcast host, Dr. Kathy Zhang has so much to offer people.  With a first hand account of the struggles and the toll of treating COVID patients in New York City in 2020, Kathy brings a wealth of experience and perspective to her clients as a coach or her patients as a doctor.  You can find her at her website or on LinkedIn, Instagram, and her podcast The Purpose Filter.

Growing up as a lover of science, Dr. Kathy Zhang found herself on the road to medical school as a young adult. Starting her career as a hospitalist for four years, she quickly realized that the expedited culture of the patient experience was not how she envisioned serving her patients as a young girl.  While deep in the throws of burnout as a hospitalist, Kathy found her way into a fellowship that was more in line with her calling and how she wanted to serve her patients. What was initially a quick way out turned into a transition away from her burnout. She now splits her time between inpatient care and her own coaching and podcast business, but she got there through therapy and coaching. Having experienced the change that physicians can gain through coaching, she had the overwhelming desire to share it with everyone she could. Her passion lies in helping other physicians find their way back to the driver's seat of their own lives and how to navigate their struggles in a way that feels true to them. Using some amazing tools such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping, hypnosis, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), we can peel back the layers of conditioning that we've been stuck in for years to get back to the light in our lives. These modalities help us realize that we're not broken, and there is a way out of the thought patterns that keep us rooted in burnout. By defining your own worth and providing yourself with the self-care you deserve, you can show up as the physician that you have always wanted to be while enforcing the boundaries that are necessary to keep you healthy. Tune in to this episode to hear more about Kathy's journey and how she's helping physicians everywhere navigate their path out of burnout.  “When we are exhibiting the same symptoms that we are treating our patients for, maybe it's time to take a step back.” Dr. Kathy Zhang Connect with Dr. Kathy Zhang: The Purpose Filter Podcast Facebook | Instagram 2 WAYS TO GET INCREDIBLE HELP AT A LOW-COST!!!

Dr. Kathy Zhang is a hospice and palliative medicine physician and a podcast host who focuses on having the conversations most of us are afraid to have until it's too late: what kind of life do we want to live and when it draws to an end, how can we leave with as little regret as possible? Drawing from Bronnie Ware's, "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" Dr. Kathy is on a mission to ensure those who are at the end of this lifetime receive care with as much autonomy and control as possible, and she wants the living to do it with clarity, purpose and intention. Jess and Jess talk with Dr. Kathy about the dignity of palliative care for all family members, the obsession with our culture and beginnings, and how our lives are so greatly impacted when we are death avoidant. Surprisingly, palliative care is a relatively young field- it's only been around for 10 or so years. Dr. Kathy explains the process of end of life care, and why it is still so underutilized and misunderstood. She asks how we can use palliative care as a tool to address the regrets while we still can. A necessary conversation to have on holding space, in so many ways.

We have followed Dr. Luiyi Kathy Zhang on Instagram for quite some time. Her podcast, The Purpose Filter, is one that we try to listen to when life does not get in the way. Her podcast covers health, relationships, mindset, and the meaning of happiness. As a life coach, she teaches her clients how to apply the lessons of dying before it is too late so that they can create a life they genuinely love. Dr. Zhang is a hospice and palliative care physician. She has a front-row seat to the end of life and all of the regrets that come with it. Earlier this month, a specific post on Instagram caught our attention. She was recently diagnosed with ADHD as a woman in her 30s.

Listen to this very deep and vulnerable conversation I had with my friend Dr. Kathy Zhang on her podcast, The Purpose Filter. There are so many aspects to living a life of fulfillment, but what if there was one area of your life you could improve that would spill over into all others? Sounds like a bit of a life hack. Well, it is, and we want to share it with you on today's episode. Is your sex life fulfilling, or are you just going through the motions? The empowerment you get from knowing what you want in the bedroom and being able to speak up and ask for it, or the ability to say no, when no means no, is a crucial element to all aspects of your life. If you can stand up for yourself in these very vulnerable and intimate situations, the empowerment that happens outside of the bedroom will come naturally. This all starts with you and your willingness to make a decision to uplevel your life and stop living on autopilot. “Should we care about the people who are sleeping with the people we are giving Viagra to?” “My husband died so now I need to take care of myself”. “It is easy to be average” “She just wants the damn thing to end – which is another reason that women fake orgasm” On faking orgasms - “He thinks it is the end of the party and you were never at the party.” “You can't just give somebody desire. It is an inside job” “I think working on your sex life is the final frontier of personal growth.” “Everything you do to have a better sex life spills over to other aspects of your life” “What if my whole purpose in life is to tell people to use vaginal estrogen cream?” Tune in to hear how you can create more joy and abundance in your life! Topics discussed in this episode: • Dr. Casperson's experience in a largely male dominated field • What is it like becoming the first doctor in the family • Bad advice Dr. Casperson received when she was becoming a doctor • Giving yourself permission to step into your power • Why your voice is important and unique • What was Dr. Casperson's turning point to change the way she lived her life • Applying dying lessons now while we are living • Why women feel their pleasure and themselves are not a priority • How to move past shame and guilt surrounding sex and beyond • Going from being pulled along for the ride to getting into the driver seat • How young people should re-frame purpose • Sharing the gift of awareness and presence Connect with Dr. Kathy Zhang on Intagram https://www.instagram.com/purposefilter/ And on her website: https://luyikathyzhang.com/ Did you get the You Are Not Broken Book Yet? https://amzn.to/3p18DfK Join my membership to get these episodes ASAP when they are created and without advertisement and even listen live to the interviews and episodes. www.kellycaspersonmd.com/membership

What can the living, learn from the dying?  What are five phrases we can use with someone who is dying, someone we love, or on ourselves?  How can we close the gap between our expectations of how things should be vs how things really are?  If you would like to dig into these questions, join me as I talk with Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang.  Dr. Zhang is a hospice & palliative care physician, mindset & life coach, an author and the host of The Purpose Filter podcast which helps living people apply dying lessons before it's too late.Kathy's transformational coaching style is a direct reflection of who she is: half compassionate, nurturing and soothing healer who cares for the dying and half no-nonsense, straight-talking Brooklyn native who tells it like it is—all with love and growth in mind. Her mission is to empower overwhelmed and directionless high-achieving professionals to break past limitations, live authentically and become the version of themselves they most want to be, while doing it with fun and ease. Kathy can be found @IG:  https://www.instagram.com/purposefilter/Podcast: pod.link/purposefilterMarianne can be found @Website:  Message In The Middle with MarianneFB:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/

When someone compliments you, do you receive it with a thank you, or do you go on to diminish the compliment to make everyone feel more comfortable? Do you apologize for things that aren't your responsibility?This is a common societal issue, especially for women. We've been taught that it is a bad thing to take up space in the world, and putting yourself last is praised. This whole structure is upside down and needs to be corrected, because every single person deserves to have space and to be heard, and we here at The Purpose Filter want to make that happen!In today's episode, Dr. Kathy Zhang shares her experience growing up and being taught that being a quiet, subservient, good girl, is the way to gain people's affections. This carried on into her adult life where she constantly put herself second thinking it was the right thing to do. Not only did it harm her, but it harmed her ability to give proper care to her patients.After realizing this, Dr. Kathy Zhang underwent extensive therapy and self work to correct years of conditioning telling her she doesn't deserve to come first. Now, she has created healthy boundaries for herself where she has created a life where she comes first, within reason, and she wants to share how you can do this for yourself too.Tune in to hear 7 actionable strategies you can start using today that will help you overcome your fear of taking up space and stand in your power.

Two things can be true at the same time, like a half full or half empty water glass.This is the paradox of life that, if mastered, could greatly benefit your life, where you would be able to accept the complex nature of being alive in this world and essentially suffer less.It is a muscle that can be strengthened just by practicing changing your perspective about your situation and recognizing where there are opposing forces in different aspects of your life, so you can hold space for all of it.Dr. Kathy Zhang has seen her fair share of duality play out in palliative care where immense suffering can exist side by side with infinite love.

#026- Death is an incredibly difficult subject for most and is one that is not easy to talk or think about. We often stay focused on the present or reminisce on the past but how often do we take the time to reflect on what matters the most at the end of our lives? What we worry about today, will it be what is most important when we evaluate our lives as a whole? Today, I had a powerful conversation with Dr Kathy Zhang, a Doctor in palliative care who works alongside death everyday. In her journey, she's learned powerful lessons that can change the way we live our lives and our viewpoint for what it means to create life worth living. We talk about the most frequent regrets she hears from her patients, how to walk the fine line of living in fear of death and having it motivate us, and how we create an extraordinary life by living with the end in mind.

"He did the crossword puzzle in INK." The sentence above doesn't make sense now, but once you listen to the episode, you'll understand why it's such a profound sentence and the inspiration for this week's message Most of us spend our days hiding our true nature because we're afraid of judgment or shame. We believe we won't fit in or be accepted by our peers. It seems easy, but we make it tough on ourselves because we are scared to uncover our truths, but the rewards are so worth it.What if I told you that being your most authentic self is actually the biggest gift you can give others? You'll hear how one dying patient's preferred writing utensil to complete the New York Times crossword puzzle was the best gift he could have given his family—the gift of knowing oneself.Tune in today to learn how you can start to live in alignment and what your life could look like when you do.

We all have scars. Sometimes there's an exciting story, or perhaps they're from something a little less ‘cool' and light-hearted. But what about the scars that aren't visible? The ones that serve as a constant reminder of a past trauma, or something you're ashamed to talk about. No matter how obvious your scars are to the outside world, each and every one of them has a story to tell. In the final throwback episode of this little break, we explore how to start healing from old wounds, and what we can do to turn our pain into our power. Learn how to turn the experiences that make your skin crawl and bring all of that discomfort bubbling to the surface, into your greatest weapon yet. It's time to face your fears and see your scars for what they really are: beautiful, difficult challenges that make you who you are.  Tune in to hear how letting go of the weight of those scars can be the key to the inner peace you've been searching for all along.****This episode originally aired November 8, 2021 Topics discussed in this episode:Nothing good ever happens after 2AMWe all have scarsAddressing the things that make us uncomfortableLearn how to talk to your traumaJust because it happened to you doesn't mean it is youLetting go of the weight of your woundsBe proud and celebrate!Connect with Dr. Kathy Zhang on InstagramJoin The Purpose Filter podcast Listener Facebook group to connect with other growth-minded individuals who intend on soaking up everything life has to offer, and who wish to live an extraordinary life of purpose and impact as the person they most want to be 

Most of us don't feel as though we're good enough. Sound familiar? Confidence is a fickle figure and is closely related to feelings of self-worth. So many of us don't feel confident in every, or even any aspect of our lives. But what if you understood that identity actually plays a significant role in how you perceive yourself?It can determine how you think, feel and plan for your future self, and can creep into all the different parts of your life. For some people, when your identity as one thing is so deeply wrapped up in who you are, any little cracks can throw you into a whirlwind of despair. It can lead to unhealthy romantic relationships and having unfair demands placed on you in the workplace. The first step to shifting the "not good enough" internal narrative is recognizing that what you're up against is years and years of conditioning. The good news is it's possible to retrain your brain!In today's episode, we want to reinforce the idea that you exist, therefore you are worthy. Your self-esteem and self-confidence is inherent, you just need to nurture it a little bit more. At the end of the episode, you will be left with an action item for the week, and that is to embrace the challenge of investing in and advocating for your future self. Tune in to hear about how to be more confident for your future self and make the most of your time on earth. ***This episode originally aired October 6, 2021***Topic discussed in this episode:Dr. Zhang's journey from a shy child to a much more confident adultDetaching the end result from your self-worthIdentity plays a huge role in how you perceive yourselfYou exist, therefore you are worthyAdvocating for your future selfRecognizing your own role in your discomfortOur invitation to make the most of your time here on earthConnect with Dr. Kathy Zhang on Facebook and Instagram.Join the Purpose Filter Listener Facebook group to connect with like-minded growth-oriented people who are also in search of what it takes to lead a life well-lived! 

In a society built on instant gratification, from texts to same day shipping, when was the last time you gave yourself some peace and quiet? We have become so accustomed to daily distractions and chatter that even the thought of sitting in silence or there being a silent moment in a conversation creates a ton of anxiety. Join Dr. Zhang in this enlightening episode as she discusses how to she uses silence in her conversations with end of life patients to elicit profound and powerful responses to challenging situations and how you can apply these same principles to your life as well. At the end of the episode, you will be left with an action item for the week, and that is to ask yourself if you are able to allow empty space to just be empty rather than trying to fill it up. Give it a try and see if you can, and let us know about it!Tune in to hear how you can start using silence as a powerful tool to help propel your life forward and connect deeper with the world.Topic discussed in this episode:How uncomfortable we are with silenceHow we fill the silence with soundsHow we can use silence to our advantageSilence as an act of compassionThe profound information that comes out of silenceCan you sit in silence with yourself?The experience of connecting with your environmentWhy some people can't be alone with their thoughtsMy invitation to you to cultivate silenceNB: This episode originally aired October 20, 2021 and has been edited for content and length Connect with Dr. Kathy Zhang on Facebook and Instagram.

Today's episode may be one of our most important episodes we have aired. What you are about to listen to will change your perspective and the course of your relationships forever. After witnessing death time and time again in the palliative care unit, a common theme has emerged from the patients and their loved ones. There are typically FIVE phrases that are said at the end of life that we want to share with you on today's episode. The purpose of sharing these phrases is not for when your loved ones pass, but for you to take these phrases and say them to your loved ones immediately. Today. Right now. Yesterday. Why do we wait until the end of life to express how we really feel? Why does it take something so drastic and permanent to simply say “I love you” when that is what we feel or “Thank you” when we are grateful? We want to rearrange perspectives to make it normal to say these things now, when we are all alive. It is a gift to be alive at the same time, so let's start treating it as such.After listening to this episode, we want you to think of someone you are grateful for, or someone you haven't spoken to for a while but wish you have, and reach out to them and tell them how you feel before it's too late. It really is that simple.Topic discussed in this episode:-5 phrases to say to your loved ones today before it's too late Connect with Dr. Kathy Zhang on Facebook and Instagram.Head to Apple Podcasts to hear more episodes!

Have you ever wondered what kinds of things you would think about when you are in your last few months of life? Have you ever wondered what you would regret, what you would celebrate? Do you think if you were told today that you had two months left to live you feel like you've lived a life that you wanted? Would you feel like you lived a life of purpose and that if it was the end of your life, you could go peacefully knowing that you did what you were meant to do on this earth?

With the predominance of corporate opportunities for law students and graduates, it may be easy to think of law, and the work it presents, in a certain manner. At university, however, there exists a massive range of initiatives, programs, and courses of study which give the students the opportunity to work, and volunteer in social justice, which themselves have the potential to translate into fulfilling career paths. In this episode, we speak to a range of figures, from students to professors, about their experiences and lessons learnt from volunteering for social justice causes.
