We avoid talking about death until it’s right in front of us. In this episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with attorney and yoga instructor Kathryn Tucker, a leading advocate for end-of-life choice, to unpack what “medical aid in dying” really means, why states are driving the conversation, and how the modern wave of psilocybin research is changing what’s possible for anxiety and existential distress at the end of life. Kathryn also connects the dots between psychedelics and long-held contemplative practices, reminding us that expanded states of consciousness aren’t limited to a medicine cabinet.
