The Integrative Palliative Podcast
Conversations about communication, caregiving, and changing the experience of serious illness.
Hosted by physician, educator, and speaker Dr. Delia Chiaramonte, The Integrative Palliative Podcast explores one central question:
How do we improve the experience of serious illness when we cannot change the illness itself?
Through thoughtful conversations, practical tools, and evidence-informed insights, each episode helps listeners navigate the challenges of serious illness with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence. Topics include communication, family caregiving, clinician wellbeing, decision making, whole-person care, and the emotional realities that accompany serious illness.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, a family caregiver, or simply someone walking beside a loved one through illness, you'll discover practical skills that can improve your confidence, reduce your stress, and help you find meaning even if the patient's illness can't be cured.

We all need this episode. Whether you're a family caregiver, caring for an ill or aging loved one, or you're a busy clinician who cares for seriously ill patients, this episode is for you.
Michael L Smith shares his wisdom and inspirational guidance about how we all block the love that we deserve and how we can learn to receive it.
Michael is a visionary author, speaker, and transformational guide whose life’s work bridges love, longevity, holistic well-being, and human potential. Michael has devoted his life to helping people remember their individual and collective wholeness, holiness, and sacred purpose.
His journey has been shaped by profound personal experiences, including the loss of his brother Ric (52), which deepened his calling to explore love not as an abstract ideal but as a living medicine for the heart, gut, mind, body and soul. Through books, courses, retreats, and public talks, he weaves science, spirituality, and lived wisdom into practical pathways for personal transformation and collective healing.
Michael’s forthcoming book, How to Receive Love: Your Heart & Soul’s Purpose, and its companion programs aim to ignite a global movement of self-love, deep connection, and inspired service.
