  • Death Fasting: A Son's Powerful Story With Oliver Christen

    Death Fasting: A Son's Powerful Story With Oliver Christen
    2026/10/02

    In this deeply moving episode, author Oliver Christen tells how he supported his mother and her decision to embrace a death fast, creating a deeply spiritual experience for both mother and son. After living a very full and active life, Oliver’s mother began declining in her abilities and mobility. Quality of life was vitally important to her, and she began conversations with Oliver and his sister about the end of her life. With the support of both her children, Oliver’s mom chose to utilize a death fast to move towards her death. She made a conscious choice to meet death on her own terms. Through conversations, laughter, gratitude, and acceptance, Oliver walked with his mom up to and through her death. His new book As She Chose, Oliver chronicles his experience, writing a guidebook for how to be present when the end of life is near.

  • Laboring Out of Life With Death Doula Kacie

    Laboring Out of Life With Death Doula Kacie
    2026/09/18
    Listen to this episode to learn details about the work of a death doula with Kacie Gikonyo, better known as Death Doula Kacie. Kacie has built a large online community as a Registered Nurse death educator. She’s the founder of the Death Doula School and her book Laboring Out of Life: A Death Doula’s Approach to Intentional End of Life Care is a resource for death doulas, healthcare professionals, and family caregivers alike. Kacie is also the creator of the Labor Out Conference happening Oct. 28, 2026 at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio. The conference brings together healthcare providers and deathcare providers to educate on death, dying, and end of life conversations. It’s a great opportunity for anyone wanting to improve their practice and skills. Featured speakers include Kacie, Dr. Bob Uslander from Empowered Endings, and founder of Your Palliative PA Chelsea Ernest. CEUs are offered for some healthcare professionals. You can register for the Labor Out event here. Here are some highlights from today’s episode: Death should never be so scary we can’t talk about it.The role of the death doula can be vital in supporting people with life-limiting illness and their caregivers. End of Life Doulas, or Death Doulas provide non-clinical support, working side by side with hospice teams.Kacie advocates for bringing in hospice care sooner, establishing a solid support system for both patient and caregivers. Introducing the topic of hospice with their doctor should be easy for patients and decision-makers to do, creating open, honest conversation.A good starting point is discussion about quality of life, focusing on the patient spending their time doing things that matter to them. It’s ok for patients to be direct and tell their healthcare team, “That’s not how I want to spend my time.” That’s another way to define quality of life.Kacie envisions the role of a death doula becoming commonplace in the next ten years, being integrated into hospitals, rehab units, and long-term care facilities.

  • Walking With the Dying: On Hospice, Doulas, and Love

    Walking With the Dying: On Hospice, Doulas, and Love
    2026/09/04

    In her work as a Spiritual Life Doula and hospice nurse, Marggie Moertl walks with her clients through the challenges of chronic illness and decline, continuing through their final days. The work of a doula is unknown for many people, so this episode offers a glimpse into the care a doula can provide. Marggie explains how a doula provides a complementary service alongside hospice and shares what it means to hold a sacred space when she works with her clients. The roles of doula and hospice nurse are very different - despite being a RN, Marggie never uses her skills and experience as a medical professional while working as a doula. Providing support for deep conversations and life review is an important component of her work. Marggie uses her intuitive skills to help clients maintain and strengthen their connection to soul during difficult illness. In this way, she encourages clients to choose the treatment path they desire, while fostering their own healing from within.
