This Earth Day, listen to one of the most earth-friendly guests from Tell Me What It's Like so far: Trash Wolf.

While there are lots of people who talk about helping the environment, Florida’s Trash Wolf took a different route. In 2022, Trash Wolf began prowling the streets, putting on a wolf suit to patrol his neighborhood and solve one specific problem: litter.

Since this episode first aired, Trash Wolf's anti-litter pack has doubled in size, illustrating that his unique approach to caring about the earth makes a lot of sense.

• The Origin Story: What finally pushed him to put on the mask, and why it was a wolf
• The Philosophy: How cleaning up trash teaches us about the world.
• The Call to Action: Why his mission is really about awareness, community, and taking that first step.

When JoAnne Chitwood graduated from nursing school, she wasn't sure what she actually wanted to do—until a hospice volunteer at the bedside of her patient told her, "JoAnne, you are a hospice nurse". She had never even heard the term, but she soon realized she was born for the role.

JoAnne has spent the past four decades at the bedside of the dying. In this episode, she shares the profound lessons learned from 40 years of end-of-life care: how to manage terminal anxiety, why death mirrors the birth process, and how "pouring love" into patients can lead to the most unexpected outcomes.

• How JoAnne discovered she was "born" for this hospice work
• Why the dying process is a mirror image of birth, as the body begins to "unwind" and nourish itself from within.
• Managing the many different facets of hospice nursing
• Why she doesn’t run from sadness
• Why forty years of witnessing "peaceful" transitions has completely removed her own fear of death.

• Please Help Me Die Well Book Series by JoAnne Chitwood
• The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron
