Palliative Care Chaplain and host of Dying To Tell You Podcast, Cody Hufstedler, joins me today as we explore what death and dying can teach us about living well.

Cody shares his journey to becoming a palliative care chaplain, emphasising the significance of palliative care in enhancing the quality of life for those with terminal illnesses. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding palliative care and hospice, the emotional challenges faced in hospital settings, and the importance of taking the time you need to make thoughtful decisions during challenging moments.

We speak to the lessons we can learn from those facing the end of life. Including living intentionally, focussing on what truly matters, finding meaning in simplicity, guarding against regret and understanding your personal values. Plus we speak to the significance of self-awareness in crisis situations, and how you can make conscious choices rather than unconsciously reacting out of fear.

Cody is a gem, who has created an incredible platform to share the stories and wisdom of the dying. If this episode resonates with you, then make sure you check out some of the conversations that he speaks of here.
