Your Authentic Presence Can Help Patients Feel Empowered!

An honest and personal conversation with my guest Barbara Karnes, RN.
As a healthcare professional, do you recognize what you may be taking on, taking in, and taking home? Barbara and I discuss what it means to be vulnerable and to be human as healthcare professionals. It's a real conversation on the importance of finding balance and having self-care rituals to support your professional care-giving efforts.

Barbara Karnes is an internationally recognized author, speaker, thought leader and expert on end of life care and the dynamics of dying. Barbara was recognized in 2018 as a Hospice Innovator by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and was named the 2015 International Humanitarian Woman of the Year by the World Humanitarian Awards. Barbara’s experience as a hospice care provider at the bedside of hundreds of people, and as an administrator overseeing the care of thousands, led to the 1985 publication of, Gone from My Sight: The Dying Experience. Affectionately referred to in the industry as the “little blue hospice book,” Gone from My Sight has sold over 25 million copies worldwide, is published in 12 languages, and remains the leading resource on the market today educating families on the signs of approaching death. In 2015, Barbara’s film New Rules for End of Life Care was featured in film festivals around the world and was the recipient of 10 prestigious film awards.
