As a therapist, spiritual teacher, and member of a deeply supportive community of friends, Riyaz might seem well-equipped to handle a terminal diagnosis. And in so many ways, he is.

He's also just like any of us. He's human. And when he was diagnosed with advanced stage lung cancer, it shook his world to its core, as it would for any of us.

Riyaz shares his wonderfully moving experience and insights with Cody in this illuminating conversation on how we can see illness and death not as mistakes of life, but integral parts of it.

Cody reflects on his conversation with Aimee and on the dance of ever-changing plans.

For Season Two, we begin with an ending. Cody sits down with Aimee, the daughter of Linda from Season One, and her family to hear the story of Linda's final days this past April.

It is both touching and wildly funny, a fitting tribute to Linda. As Aimee puts it and you'll hear for yourself, they could "make a whole sitcom" out of the odd experiences of those last days.

It is an unfiltered, eye-opening window into the unexpected realities of a family saying goodbye.

NOTE: This episode discusses Medical Aid In Dying (MAID) and the intentional ending of life.

We are between seasons here at Dying To Tell You (Season 2 is coming this summer so subscribe to get notified!), but that isn't stopping us from talking to amazing people.

This episode is very special, a conversation with healthcare professional, internet star, and now author—Hospice Nurse Julie. Julie rose to fame during the pandemic and now millions of followers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube tune in to hear her thoughts, stories, and advice on death and the dying process.

Julie's book Nothing to Fear comes out June 11th and you can pre-order it right here! In the meantime, please enjoy this funny, thoughtful, and heartfelt conversation between Julie and Cody in which they talk about their professional healthcare experiences, Medical Aid In Dying, bad days, good deaths, and much more.

Cody and Chris listen back to memorable moments from Season One and reflect on what they've learned from six guests, multiple episodes, and so many great conversations.

Cody reflects on last week's conversation with Cia and the difference between pain and suffering.

When Cia beat breast cancer 12 years ago, she had no idea it could come back, this time in the form of angiosarcoma. Cia is equally fierce in her love and in her determination to do whatever she can to spend the most time possible with her family, and make memories that can endure beyond the time she has left.

Cody reflects on last week's conversation with Jessica Guthrie, and on how a terminal diagnosis can be something more than an ending.
