Summary
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy! In this profoundly moving episode, Mary Meyer sits down with Winston Meikle, a nurse of more than 40 years and author of The Power of Love: A Nursing Theory .

Winston shares how decades at the bedside, including years in the cardiac ICU, led him to a bold and hopeful idea: that love, consciousness, and even quantum science have a real place in how we care for one another. With warmth and humility, he walks us through the experiences that shaped his theory, the science that gave it language, and the patients who proved to him that intention truly matters.
