Hospice nurse Karen joins me to talk about health concerns, in our ongoing series of facing our health fears. But then Karen drops this incredible bit of knowledge about caring for those at the end of life, a job you might expect is one of the saddest: "I come home with my heart filled. People are just amazing."

In this episode, we talk about heart and brain health, the importance of getting regular check-ups and screenings, and making sure you stay attentive to what's happening in your body.

Note: Nothing in this episode is meant to give you specific medical advice. If you have specific medical concerns, definitely go see your doctor or other health professionals.

Make sure you check out episodes 18 & 19 for the first two installments of our 'facing your health fears' series. Next week, we'll hear from Heather, a pediatric health professional in Texas.
