Today I talk to Dr. Karen Wyatt, a renowned hospice doctor and author of What Really Matters: 7 Lessons for Living from the Stories of the Dying. Now before you press skip, this is not as heavy and morbid as it sounds. In fact, quite the opposite. This conversation was fun, inspiring and hopeful.
Karen shares stories of people that learned at the very end of their lives, profound lessons about what really matters in life. They’re stories about finding our purpose, being present and the power of forgiveness. Her patients aren’t here anymore, but we are. Their words and these lessons are a gift.
This conversation isn’t about how to die, it’s about how to live.
Please enjoy, Karen Wyatt.
