21. Julie McFadden (a.k.a. Hospice Nurse Julie) on Your Kids or Childfree Choice and End of Life


Listen Later

In this conversation, Keltie Maguire asks hospice nurse Julie McFadden the questions on your mind when it comes to your Kids or Childfree decision and all things death and dying. You'll hear them discuss:

  • Julie's personal journey as a nurse and her decision to specialize in hospice care
  • How at age 41, Julie is able to have such an attitude of openness about still possibly having children...or not
  • Julie's brand-new book, 'Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully,' and the worldwide impact of understanding the dying process
  • How to prepare for end-of-life care, no matter which Kids or Childfree choice you make — and the misconception that having children guarantees care in old age
  • Why whether or not you have kids doesn't actually matter in end-of-life
  • Inspiring stories of those who died never having had children
  • The beauty of witnessing both birth and death ...in what is a powerful, funny, and moving conversation!
