Description
Bad news: we’re all going to die. Good news: it might be the best motivation you’ll ever have.
In It’s Okay, We’re All Gonna Die, Hospice Nurse Julie brings her honest, compassionate, and surprisingly funny perspective from years at the bedside of people at the end of life. Through conversations with guests and real questions from listeners, Julie opens up the discussion most people avoid: death.
But this podcast isn’t about being morbid. It’s about getting real. Because when you understand how life ends, you start to see more clearly how to live: love your people, stop sweating the small stuff, and focus on what actually matters.
If we’re all going to die anyway, let's learn how to really live first.

What would you think if you actually died… and then came back? Vinney Tolman was a healthy 25-year-old when he stumbled through a Dairy Queen door, made it to the bathroom, and died. He was officially dead for 47 minutes. Once a huge skeptic of the metaphysical, Vinney sits down with Julie to share what he says he experienced on the other side, and how it changed everything he thought he knew about death.Julie and Vinney get into the moments that still blow his mind: floating above his own body, suddenly becoming free from years of pain, meeting his guide Drake, and experiencing a life review that changed how he sees the smallest moments. But then came the part Vinney never expected: waking up. Julie gets into what happened during those three days, one of the biggest reasons he wanted to return, and how he became known as “The Miracle Boy.” And now that Vinney helps people cross over, Julie asks the question most of us would want answered: Does he ever envy the people who get to stay on the other side?Whether you believe in an afterlife or not, this conversation with Julie and Vinney may make you look at your own life very differently.Links to Vinney’s book and Non-Profit:Book: Light After Death: My Journey To Heaven and Back: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BD3YV9M5Non-Profit: Living God’s Light: https://www.LivingGodsLight.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Description:What if your dog or cat knows something about death that you don’t?Susan Allen has experienced what she believes is the spirit world since she was two, when she saw a “beautiful lady” no one else in her family could see. Today, she’s a medium, animal intuitive, and healer who believes there’s no real separation between this life and the next, and that animals may be able to tap into it, too.This week, Nurse Julie goes deep with Susan on what she believes happens after we die: What happens during the first 49 days? Do our loved ones stay connected to us? Can we reincarnate? What happens to people who’ve done terrible things? And most importantly… what do our pets know that we don’t?Susan also shares how she believes her deceased mother saved her life, a wild reading involving a former Army soldier and Susan’s father, and the strangest spirit encounter she’s ever had. They also explore whether certain places like old hotels attract spiritual activity, whether you can actually turn the spirit “channel” off, and what a lot of the dead really want us to forget.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Think your death is all about you? Not so fast.Hospice social worker and creator of The Death Deck, Lisa Pahl, has spent years helping families navigate some of the hardest moments imaginable, and she’s learned that one of the biggest gifts you can give the people you love is to stop making them guess what you would have wanted.This week, Nurse Julie and Lisa get into the stuff most of us would rather put off: Who should make your medical decisions? What kind of funeral do you actually want? And why might your kids NOT be the people you want carrying them out? Julie and Lisa pull questions from The Death Deck, imagining everything from their dream funerals to what they’d do if they got a terminal diagnosis tomorrow.They also get into the emotional toll of dementia caregiving, Lisa’s bizarre story of a dying man visited by a woman who wasn’t his wife, why some celebrations of life feel completely impersonal, and the biggest hospice misconception of all: your hospice nurse is not moving into your house.Remember, planning your death isn’t just about how you want to die. It’s about giving the people you love a fighting chance to get it right.A list of helpful resources Lisa mentioned in episode: End of Life Registry: https://givewillow.com/ States that have Paid Family Leave Benefits: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/state-paid-family-leave-laws-across-the-u-s/Dementia Values and Priorities Tool: https://compassionandchoices.org/dementia-values-tool/VA Caregiver Support Program: https://www.caregiver.va.gov/California IHSS Program: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/in-home-supportive-servicesThe Death Deck Tools: https://thedeathdeck.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
