In this special two-part episode of We Gotta Talk, we're looking at the conflict in the Middle East from a human perspective.

***Claims included in this episode have not been fact-checked and only represent the interviewee's viewpoint.***

In this first episode, you'll hear from a Palestinian-American woman. I asked her:

* What is one stereotype about “your side” that you wish to dispel?

* Is there something about the conflict that no one is talking about that you think is important for people to hear?

* Do you think people as a whole understand the true nature of the problem? And if not, what would you want to tell them?

* Is there something about your culture or people that you wish people knew?

* What don’t we understand fully about Israel/Palestine and their respective functioning political systems?

* How does religion complicate and/or simplify this conflict?

* In a perfect world, how would this conflict resolve?

* What is your greatest fear?

* Is there something that is giving you hope?

This week we are diving into one topic that we all try to avoid even thinking about—death.

I remember when I was a kid, lying in bed as my mom would tuck me in… and even then--ever the anxiety queen--saying to her, “Mom, I don't want you to die! What even happens when you die?!” And she would say, “Sonni, death is a part of life.”

For my 5-, 6-year-old brain, that was a big statement to process, but I knew it was true. That simplest of explanations about death really is the most essential one.

We prepare for marriage or having children or getting our first job, but we really don’t prepare that much for death. Sure, you may have considered pre-paying your funeral costs to avoid having your kids deal with it… or maybe even grabbed up a burial plot. (It always freaked me out that my parents did this!)

But what of the emotional side of things? Have you ever thought about what you want your final weeks on earth to look like?

This week’s guest is the founder of a group that aims to change the conversation about dying—namely, by starting conversations about dying.

Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is a physician, founder, speaker, producer, writer and the host of the TED Health Podcast who works as an internist at Crossover Health in San Francisco. She believes that we shouldn’t be scared to prepare for this inevitable part of life, but rather we should address it head on, with humor, with preparation, and with an understanding that this is something we will all have to deal with.

Her nonprofit foundation, EndWell, is focused on transforming the end of life into a human-centered experience.

They’ve created a group of doctors, tech leaders, policy makers and activists who—through education and events—address all the “big questions” and other worries we have about death, with the ultimate goal of creating a future where ending well becomes a measure of living well.

In this episode you’ll hear about the personal story that prompted Dr. Shoshana to start EndWell; the things that people most regret on their death bed; finding support when you or a loved one is sick; what is a death doula? And more.

So whether you’re also pacifying an anxious 5-year-old, or you just want to button up things for your own inevitable conclusion, this episode may just help you see death in a whole new light.

Do you believe in ghosts?

There are no shortage of stories about encounters with the other side. Maybe you had one yourself.

When a loved one is close to death and has conversations with other family members who’ve already passed.

Or maybe you’ve been walking around in your own house and something moved that shouldn’t, or you’ve felt a chill or a sense that someone, or something, else, was there.

There’s no doubt that humans have an innate desire to connect, and sometimes that means connecting with people who already passed on.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking with someone whose job it is to connect with these very spirits. The souls of our loved
ones, or maybe just random souls, that I’ve already passed into the new dimension.



Malaurie Hotier, known as @MalauriePsychic, comes from a long line of psychics and witches. (mother, grandmother, great grandmothers, great uncle…Anyhow you get the idea). It’s in her DNA. She had been doing readings for many years and loves helping people find a sense of peace and clarity.



Malaurie tries to keep it real and simple and her tagline is "a
grounded approach to the psychic world." No gimmicks, no pretenses, no bullshit. She is not a crystal ball, but can enter into a conversation with her clients' spirit guides and ancestors and see what they have to say. The answer might not always be what her clients want to hear but it is always grounded in love and with the client's greater good in mind.


In this episode, we talk:

+ Why we are all a little psychic

+ What happens with souls during the first 2-4 weeks after death

+ Her thoughts on parallel universes

+ Reincarnation

+ Why she doesn’t believe in the concept of “new souls”

+ Do soulmates really exist?

+ How to help spirits make it to the other side

+ Other places than earth where souls can exist

+ How to connect with past lives

+ How time is different “on the other side” than on Earth

+ Why some souls become earthbound

+ Why we do exist on the same plane as spirits
