It's Okay, We're All Gonna Die with Nurse Julie

If you are overwhelmed by the noise, the pressure, and the nonstop pace of life right now…what if peace is smaller and closer than you think?This week, Nurse Julie sits down with Erik Ireland, author of Awaken Your Myth, and the soothing voice behind Listen to Sleep, to talk about mindfulness in a way that actually feels human. Not perfect mornings, silent retreats, or pretending everything is fine. Real life mindfulness. The kind that happens when you are stuck in traffic, spiraling at 2 AM, grieving someone you love, or just trying to hold it together during another exhausting week.The two discuss why so many of us feel overwhelmed, what “McMindfulness” gets wrong, how grief can change the way we see life, and why toxic positivity is often just denial in disguise. Erik also guides Julie through her own mindfulness journey, sharing simple ways anyone can begin, even if you feel too overwhelmed to start.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s the very first episode of “It’s Okay, We’re All Gonna Die,” so we’re starting exactly where most people avoid: the conversations that actually matter. Hospice Nurse Julie invites Kalina Silverman, creator Big Talk and the voice behind a global movement helping millions skip the small talk and connect faster.Julie and Kalina talk about why we’re more connected than ever… and somehow lonelier, why we’re conditioned to avoid the very conversations that would make us feel better, and how one simple question can instantly transform any interaction. The two also discuss that odd sense of relief that sometimes follows a loved one’s passing, and why it’s often easier to talk to strangers than your own family.  From navigating tough talks to redefining fulfillment, this episode is not really about death. It’s about finally living like your time matters.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
