In this deeply reflective and heartfelt episode of the JDS Podcast, host Joshua Agbontaen sits down with Nancy Jasin Ensley — author, legal nurse consultant, hospice specialist, and lifelong storyteller.

Nancy’s work is not just about writing stories…It’s about understanding life through them.

With decades of experience in nursing, hospice care, teaching, and leadership, she has witnessed life at its most fragile, most profound, and most defining moments — and she brings those insights into every story she tells.

From memoirs to mystery, science fiction to children’s literature, her work explores resilience, faith, family, and what it truly means to be human.

In this episode, we explore:

• How real-life experiences shape powerful storytelling
• What working in hospice teaches you about life and meaning
• Why writing is more about listening than creating
• The connection between service, faith, and creativity
• And how stories help us process life’s deepest moments

This is a conversation about life, reflection, and the power of storytelling to make sense of it all.

In this episode, we explore:

* Why avoiding hard conversations creates hidden resentment

* The dangerous illusion of separating “work self” and “home self”
