When a family hears the words “hospice care,” they often believe hospice will come into the home and provide all the daily, hands-on care their loved one needs.
Sadly, that is not how home hospice usually works.
The word care means providing what s... more

It’s hard to listen to her knowing she’s making videos wishing people to “hurry up and die” or for people to “croak”. Very scary.
I just started training as an EOLD in canada and found Suzanne through the Shift network. I ordered her book today and I have learned so much today listening to her podcast! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with the world and making death a sacred time.
Comforting, empowering and always uplifting. I learn something with each listen.
Thank you for creating this podcast! I didn’t know this was something I needed to hear. I listened to every episode and now I am not afraid to start learning about about death and the end of life process.
I am currently exploring the field. A video just happened to come across my feed and I’ve been researching ever since! With my past and loved ones pasts I want to, at the very LEAST, provide knowledge, options, and so much more to my OWN family! This podcast provides great information, even for those who just plan to help themselves and/or their family.

This show centers on end-of-life care, death education, and the growing role of death doulas in communities. Episodes commonly explore non-medical, people-centered approaches to dying, practical training for educators, and how to reframe hospice, aging, and caregiving as intimate, community-supported journeys. A standout thread across episodes is turning death planning into accessible education—from bootcamps and multilingual trainings to ethical considerations and global outreach—often with personal stories from bedside care and a strong advocacy for empowering families and communities to care for loved ones at home with dignity.
Listeners may notice a consistent emphasis on practical education, scalable community programs, and a compassio... more
