219. Deathbed Wisdom for a Happier Life with Dr. Kathy Zhang

Second Breaks

In this podcast episode, I am joined by Dr. Kathy Zhang, a physician specializing in hospice and palliative care.

I follow Kathy on LinkedIn, where she regularly posts wisdom that she's gained from speaking with thousands of people in the last moments of their lives. One specific post caught my attention, and I thought the points she shared were brilliant reminders for us about what truly matters.

The episode delves into the impact of fear on life choices, the illusion of abundant time, and the need to prioritize personal life alongside work. We also touch on the transient nature of material possessions, the unpredictability of life, and the importance of holistic wellness.

You're going to want to listen to this a few times. 😉
