It’s Not Just a “Dirt Nap”: What End of Life Taught Me About Living
from Elevate With Shae · host Shae
In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most impactful hospice stories of my entire career—about a Vietnam veteran who completely changed the way I see life, death, and everything in between.I took care of him for years, and what I experienced during that time challenged everything I thought I understood. From unexplainable moments at the bedside… to feeling energy move through a room… to witnessing things that simply don’t fit into logic or science.This episode isn’t about having answers.It’s about opening your mind.It’s about allowing space for the unknown.And maybe finding a little more peace in not needing to understand everything.We talk about:* What it’s actually like to sit with someone at the end of life* The emotional and spiritual weight of hospice work* Moments that can’t be explained—but are deeply felt* How these experiences changed the way I live my life now* And why waiting until the end to think about “quality of life” might be the biggest mistake we makeIf you’ve ever wondered what really happens at the end of life… or you’re someone who feels there might be more than what we can see and explain—this episode is for you.If you want to go deeper into this work, you can join me inside The Living Room, my online community where you also get access to the P3 Method—my framework for helping you create more peace, presence, and purpose in your everyday life.You don’t have to wait until the end of life to start living better.Link:The Living RoomIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend, and don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe.Thank you for being here.Go love yourself.
