In a world where most of us run from difficult conversations, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is running towards them. 

A physician, science journalist, public health advocate, and acclaimed film producer, Shoshana brings her unique multidisciplinary approach to transforming how we understand end-of-life care. As the founder of EndWell and executive producer of Oscar-nominated documentaries like "Extremis" and "Endgame", she's leading a national movement to reshape conversations about mortality -- with radical bravery.

Drawing from her personal journey caring for her father during his pancreatic cancer diagnosis and her professional work advocating for compassionate healthcare, she reveals how confronting mortality can help us live more meaningfully and how we can bring wonder, hope, and even joy to life's most challenging transitions.

You'll learn:

• How to start difficult conversations about end-of-life wishes with loved ones
• The true role of palliative care and when to seek its support
• Practical steps for becoming a better healthcare advocate
• Ways to find meaning and purpose by reflecting on mortality
• Strategies for supporting family members through serious illness
• How to approach life's biggest transitions with radical bravery.
