Episode 21: Julie McFadden (Hospice Nurse Julie) on Your Kids or Childfree Choice and End of Life

In this conversation, Keltie Maguire asks hospice nurse Julie McFadden the questions on your mind when it comes to your Kids or Childfree decision and all things death and dying.
You'll hear them discuss:
Julie's personal journey as a nurse and her decision to specialize in hospice care
How at age 41, Julie is able to have such an attitude of openness about still possibly having children...or not
Julie's brand-new book, 'Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully,' and the worldwide impact of understanding the dying process
How to prepare for end-of-life care, no matter which Kids or Childfree choice you make - and the misconception that having children guarantees care in old age
Why whether or not you have kids doesn't actually matter in end-of-life
Inspiring stories of those who died never having had children
The beauty of witnessing both birth and death
...in what is a powerful, funny, and moving conversation!

I am now 58, and I have never wanted kids. I have no regrets. I have freedom, travel, and a dog. It is enough.

That sounds like a beautiful life!
