What if the reason you feel stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed isn't because you're broken... but because your body has forgotten what safety feels like?

This week, Nurse Julie sits down with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and Apollo Neuroscience co-founder, Dr. Dave Rabin, for a fascinating conversation about why so many of us are stuck in survival mode, and how to get out.

Dr. Rabin explains how modern life has normalized chronic stress, what information overload is doing to our brains and bodies, and why so many people no longer feel truly safe. Julie and Dr. Rabin also unpack ambient terror, the hidden cost of convenience and comfort, the BS in and around the biohacking craze, and why psychedelic therapy may help some people re-learn safety.

This is a great conversation that brings up the question: What if the key to living better isn't doing more, but learning how to finally feel safe being ourselves?

What happens when the life you planned disappears in an instant?

Just 13 days after her wedding, Lindi Marcusen survived a catastrophic car accident that left her fighting for her life. Five and a half weeks later, she woke up to discover she'd lost her leg, suffered a traumatic brain injury, and would have to rebuild a life she no longer recognized.

This week, Lindi joins Nurse Julie to share the haunting moments before the crash, the extraordinary near-death experience that changed her forever, what it means to grieve the "old you," and her continuous journey of putting together the missing pieces from that tragic day.

Julie and Lindi also unpack "the rally," the phenomenon of phantom pain, and how Lindi went from ICU patient to record-holding Paralympian.

This episode is a great reminder that sometimes the end of the life you imagined becomes the beginning of the life you were meant to live.

What can a death doula teach us about living? Turns out... quite a lot.

Nurse Julie sits down with bestselling author and founder of Going with Grace, Alua Arthur, for a conversation about fear, purpose, regret, and the moments that remind us what really matters. After years of helping people through life’s final chapter, Alua has become one of the world’s leading death doulas, and what she’s learned might change the way you live.

Alua explains what a death doula actually does, the most common (and surprising) regrets people have at the end of life, and how our fear of death often “lives within someone else.” Julie and Alua also unpack the biggest misconceptions about death, how grief can point us toward the life we're meant to live, and whether dying well is something everyone can achieve.

This episode is a great reminder that the people closest to death often have the clearest perspective on what makes life worth living.
