While commonly associated with grief and loss, Dr. Miles, a board-certified physician in palliative care, reveals how confronting our own mortality can be a powerful force for living a more meaningful, rich, and aligned life. Drawing from Rilke's poignant quote that "Love and death are the great gifts...mostly, they're passed on unopened," she invites listeners to courageously unwrap this uncomfortable but transformative truth.

Through deeply personal anecdotes, from the unexpected loss of high school classmates to her decade-plus experience as a palliative care physician, Dr. Miles illuminates how sitting with death has shaped her own existence. Listeners will gain an understanding of how to use the awareness of limited time as a catalyst to ask what truly matters, daring to live those important questions now rather than postponing dreams and difficult conversations.

This episode offers a unique contemplative practice designed to help you connect with your deepest values by contemplating different timelines of your own mortality.
