Episode Synopsis

What happens when we leave conversations too late?
In this episode, I’m joined by Clare Fuller, nurse, palliative care specialist, and founder of Speak for Me. Clare shares her journey from hospices to Parliament, and why she believes advanced care planning is everyone’s responsibility. We explore her “house” infographic, the importance of public awareness, and why normalising conversations about death and dying matters for us all.
This is an episode about honesty, empathy, and reclaiming the conversations that shape our lives.
