Live NOW, Learn How...
Living With Podcast opens one’s eyes to courage; courage to squarely face our mortality, and to realize that THIS IS the gift: LIFE IS THE GIFT.
Terminal illness does not mean a person has to consign themselves to death. It means that a person has to rise to living.
Thank you, Cathy Wurzer and End In Mind, for this wonderful gift of a podcast
Living With praise
Like the last reviewer I thought a podcast about people and terminal illness was going to be a huge turn off. Nope. It’s a definite tune IN. Grace Wethor rocks! Cancer can’t keep up with her!
Looking forward to more!
Living with...gusto
A huge fan of Cathy Wurzer and End in Mind, which she founded to empower others to become engaged participants in their own lives...and deaths, I was thrilled to discover Living With..., her new podcast that explores what it’s like to “live with” a potentially fatal illness.
While such a podcast could be depressing, this one is incredibly uplifting—and a helpful reminder to live with gusto today because one never knows what the future may hold.
A bonus for me in Episode 1 is guest Grace Wethor, author of the poem Dear Cancer, and her shoutout to Gilda’s Club Twin Cities, a cancer support community that has made a huge difference in my life.
