So Informative

So glad you had Hospice Nurse Julie on the podcast. I wish I would have had this information when my mother was dying in 2020. She had dementia and we were shocked when she went into the hospital and they told us to contact hospice. We brought her home with hospice and she died in 5 weeks. She experienced so many of the things Julia spoke about. I tried learning as much as possible online as hospice isn’t there all the time. It made me less afraid to know what to expect. Can’t wait to read Julie’s book.

A truly touching podcast

The episodes in the podcast that I have listened to so far have truly tugged at the heartstrings. I just started today with the episode with John Mayer and a few others. I can't wait to listen to the others. Kelly and her guests make you feel comfortable talking about all things life and even some difficult subjects that might not be easy to talk about. I also love learning about her guest's GO TO Comfort Food and the crew (amazing job to them too ) always bring out that comfort food for them to enjoy during the podcast!! Thank you Kelly for your time in doing the podcast and Thanks for the little comfort recipes you leave us with in the end!! You are a huge hug to the heart!!

Disheartened

I love the podcast 90% of the time but the only thing I have to critique is the way Kelly talks about losing grandmothers. “I’ve never lost anyone close to me before Bob but my grandmother”. It’s just so insensitive. I just lost my grandmother and I’m sorry it’s a loss especially if you had a close relationship.
