In this episode of Palliative Talks, host Kath Murray sits down with Nadine Valk—an experienced palliative care leader, coach, and mindfulness educator. Nadine reflects on her 30-years experience, emphasizing the importance of compassion, presence, and team cohesion in supporting those with life-limiting illness. Together, they discuss how reframing “difficult conversations” as “tender conversations” opens space for meaningful connection, the essential role of personal support workers, and the power of curiosity and active listening in transforming care.
