Julie McFadden has been a hospice nurse for 5 years after more than 10 years as an ICU nurse. She wanted to find a way to open up conversations on death and dying.

She considered creating a podcast or a blog but on a family visit she discovered TikTok, thanks to a tween niece, and decided that was a quick and easy platform to get her message across. She added Instagram too. Now she has created a whole community of death doulas and hospice nurses, all with a common goal of opening conversations about death. She now has a following of almost half a million subscribers. Watch videos.
