Show Notes

When we talk about caregiving, we often focus on keeping someone alive, but what about helping them finish well?

In this week’s episode of The Care Collective Podcast, host Mikayla Cluxton sits down with Kristy, a nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in palliative and end-of-life care.

Together they explore what it means to prepare for the end with peace, love, and legacy in mind, and how these conversations can transform the way we live, not just how we die.

You’ll hear stories from Kristy’s time at the bedside, learn how to start difficult end-of-life conversations, and gain new insight into how caregivers can find meaning in moments of loss.

💛In this episode:

• How to start honest conversations about death

• Why legacy planning matters for families and caregivers

• Simple ways to leave love and guidance behind for those you care about

• How caregivers can find peace and purpose in letting go
