We hit a big milestone last week! www.podbean.com/podcast-down...

We were recently guests on the Radical Nurse Talk podcast, where we had the chance to chat about nursing and the difficult — but important — conversations around Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). It was such a great experience, and we’re so thankful they invited us on!

How can we talk about MAiD? If you’re a health professional, caregiver, or someone seeking clear, balanced information on MAiD, this episode provides guidance, empathy, and education you can use in practice. For more info visit: radicalnursetalk.com/2025/10/15/h... @maidincanada.bsky.social
