That we are, in fact, one day going to die. Through his career in healthcare, he has helped countless terminally ill patients and their loved ones work through this most challenging of life’s realities. What he’s discovered over the years is the understanding, comfort, even joy that can come through intentionally facing our finish line. Not just for those who are fast approaching it, but for everyone young or old, sick or healthy. Cody began this podcast as a way to share these endearing and lovely stories of life, death, and dying. Far from morbid, these episodes are deeply alive explorations of life’s greatest mysteries and windows into the wonderful, human richness of living.

Stay alert. This is my life.\" In this week's episode, Cody reflects on presence versus resignation, invoking Eckhart Tolle’s teaching and examining how often we try to merely get through life instead of fully living it. Amanda’s courage and focus become a model for noticing the present moment. An update on Amanda closes out this reflection. She's had another scan and this time her scanxiety proved correct. There were signs of progression and she is now facing the potential of another craniotomy. We'll give more updates as we have them, and hopefully talk with Amanda again about where she is now in her journey.","meta_description":"Amanda's mantra as she was entering brain surgery really stuck with Cody after last week's interview: \"Stay awake.
