A Work In Purpose

3. Facing Death with Fear or Acceptance w/ Dr. Ivy Akid

Listen Later

Because of COVID 19, we all had to come face to face with the harsh reality of mortality. If we were to die tomorrow, would we look back at our lives with regrets? Would we face death with fear or acceptance?

Our guest today is Dr. Ivy Akid. She is a Palliative care doctor. That means she takes care of patients who are seriously ill, and who are about to die.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What Dr. Akid usually hears from patients who are dying, their dying wishes, their regrets, and their understanding of purpose
  • Why Dr. Akid decided go into Palliative Medicine, how her upbringing as an immigrant only child of a widowed mom and how being her caretaker shaped her sense of purpose today
  • What they don't tell you as you're training to become a doctor and what she had learned the hard way to avoid being burnt out and the pitfalls of perfectionism


    • I hope this episode gives you a different perspective in life and more clarity on your journey in being a work in purpose.
