In this deeply moving episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we sit down with Julie McFadden, registered nurse and New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to Fear. Her path from intensive care to hospice has fueled her mission to change how we talk about death. After years of watching patients and families struggle in silence, Julie began to speak up—holding honest conversations, offering education, and creating space for truth in life’s most vulnerable moments. She believes that when we stop resisting death and allow it to unfold, the journey can be profoundly sacred. Join us as Julie shares how preparation allows us to experience this sacredness fully, helping us be present with our loved ones instead of consumed by fear.

Unrealistic and unspoken expectations are like invisible wedges quietly pushing us apart from the people we love most. In this episode, we explore why it’s so important to bring expectations into the light and talk about them openly. Relationships thrive when partners can share not only what they need now, but also who they’re becoming and where they hope to go. The key is staying connected through those changes, rather than being blindsided by them. We’ll also unpack how unspoken expectations can breed resentment and how to spot shifts in energy before unspoken expectations become full-blown conflicts.

The key to managing expectations lies in knowing which are reasonable and which were never promised to us in the first place. In this episode, we explore the kabbalistic wisdom that peace comes from walking through life with fewer expectations, trusting that everything—every twist, every challenge—comes from the Creator and is meant to prompt spiritual growth. We’ll talk about how life’s constant changes mean our expectations are meant to be ever evolving. What if the universe is already giving you exactly what you need? And what if the only thing standing in the way of receiving it… is what you thought should happen instead?

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore the hidden roots of judgment and how it often reveals more about us than the people we judge. We’ll unpack how judgment narrows our focus, preventing us from seeing things clearly. Instead of judging, what if we got curious? What if we chose connection over criticism? Join us as we talk about the shift from judgment to compassion, and the healing power of truly being seen and heard.

What if the power to shape your life wasn’t about what happens to you, but how you respond to it? In this episode, we unpack the concept of free will and what it really means for you. While your life isn’t prewritten, your soul does have a destination and a purpose. How you get there is entirely in your hands. You may not choose every circumstance, but you do choose how each one transforms you. Whether life feels smooth or stormy, this episode is a reminder: Your growth, your joy, and your transformation are yours to claim.

Even when life doesn’t go according to plan, it’s still unfolding exactly as it should. In this episode, we continue to share the unexpected beauty to be found in the midst of war. We explore what it means to let go of plans and let something deeper and more powerful take shape. We’ll reflect on the fire that builds us, the moments that wake us up, and the call to live not just comfortably, but intensely, with presence and purpose.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “You make plans and God laughs.” In this episode, we explore the deeper spiritual meaning behind life’s unpredictability. What if the twists and turns we didn’t plan are actually unfolding perfectly? Discover how to cultivate true certainty—not by controlling every outcome, but by trusting in the Creator and embracing flexibility. We’ll talk about the peace that comes from living purposefully and how spirituality can help us stay grounded, even when things don’t go as planned.
