Life is for the Living
Everyone has a story to tell, and in this podcast I sit down with a group of guests to learn about their childhoods, their marriages and children, the highs and low of their lives, and the stories that left them laughing or crying. And in so doing, show us a little bit of what it means to be human.Each season centers on a group of guests tied together with a common thread.
Season 1 focuses on 5 Quakers or ex-Quakers from the Las Cruces Friends Meeting, and I also ask them why they became Quakers, and if they left Quakerism, why.
In Season 2 I interview immigrants from around the world who all came to the New World to find a better life. I ask why they left, what immigration and integration was like for them, and what it means to be an immigrant.

4.5 - The New Normal
In this episode, I talk with Mara and with Kathy about the experience in between getting a terminal diagnosis and the actual death. This is a time that can be fraught with a lot of unknowns, and will force you to face the fact that you have very little control over what is happening. You can't plan, or even be emotionally prepared, and you may not even know if you are in a sprint towards the end or if it a marathon you need to settle into.
