How Hospice Nurse Julie Made Death Go Viral—and Life More Meaningful (With Julie McFadden)

We’re getting real with Hospice Nurse Julie—ICU nurse turned hospice educator and unexpected TikTok trailblazer. She shares how working so closely with death has completely reshaped the way she lives: slower, more present, and with a deep sense of purpose.We talk about the beauty in end-of-life moments, the wild reality of visioning (yes, people really see loved ones before they pass), and how grief, and stepping outside traditional nursing norms led Julie to a fuller, more authentic life. If you're craving perspective, permission to slow down, or just a little reminder of what actually matters—this one’s for you.>>How Hospice Nurse Julie Made Death Go Viral—and Life More MeaningfulJump Ahead to Listen:[00:02:07] Starting hospice education online.[00:05:09] Living versus dying perspectives.[00:09:39] Reflection on life and death.[00:10:20] The importance of discussing death.[00:16:20] Love and connection at death.[00:19:12] Survival against all odds.[00:22:03] Hospice visions of deceased loved ones.[00:26:01] Connection through mediumship experience.[00:29:00] Near-death experiences and validation.[00:30:43] Importance of discussing dying process.Connect with Colton on social media:Instagram: @coltonalanlord, @nursedaddies, @club.nurseTikTok: @nursecoltonCheck out Julie's website and connect with her on social media:Instagram: @hospicenursejulieTikTok: @hospicenursejulieYouTube: @hospicenursejulie🎙️ About the Club Nurse PodcastThank you for tuning in!
