SHOWNOTES: Dying to Live # 35
What does it mean to truly meet someone where they are—even when they’re difficult, dying, or dismantling everything they once knew? In this deeply moving conversation with psychotherapist and author Paul McDermott, we explore love, loss, ego, and the lessons of dying that shape how we live. A powerful story about compassion, presence, and the radical shift that happens when we stop trying to fix others and instead simply walk beside them. Perfect for those seeking insight into wellbeing, mental health, relationships, and the mystery of death.
