From Comfort in Loss to Confidence in Care

This week’s Waukee Podcast delivers both comfort for the heart and clarity for the mind.

Jamie Thompson kicks off the episode with What’s Up Waukee – What’s Up?  A whole lot of Octoberfest! 

Then Leisa interviews Joshua Binns, Spiritual Director and Bereavement Care Counselor at EveryStep. Joshua shares the deeply meaningful work of supporting individuals and their families during life’s final days. With compassion and wisdom, he describes how spiritual care and bereavement services provide peace, dignity, and hope when it’s needed most. His words are a reminder that while the journey of grief is never easy, no one has to walk it alone.

The episode then turns to the practical side of health and wellness with Well Waukee.
