“What I have come to know is that those who have a practice, like you’ve mentioned chanting, a practice could be meditation, even being in nature, quieting the mind, being in solitude, being with oneself, connecting with the divine, whatever that means to someone. When someone has that practice, I find that the transition can often come much easier.” Sierra Campbell

About this interview: 
What does death show us about how to live?
In this episode Amisha talks to Sierra Campbell about aging, illness and care at the end of life. It is a tender and intimate conversation between Sierra and Amisha, who both share from their wealth of experience as caregivers. This episode is centered around the importance of finding community, of creating a village, and of having practices that support us to show up in times of deep challenge. It also explores the themes of presence, acceptance, empathy, and expanding spiritual and emotional capacity.
Listen to learn more about:
. aging as a community experience
. normalizing death
. institutionalized care vs community care
. multi-generational living
. finding support systems
. the wisdom in illnesses
. being with grief
. the importance of having a daily practice
. empathy and listening
“Empathy I feel is something, it’s a skill that there’s no shame in needing to relearn it over and over again. How can I have more empathy for myself, especially as a caregiver? How can I show up in my work, my job, my parenting with more empathy today?” Sierra Campbell
Sierra Campbell, founder of Choose Nurture, is a leading voice in reimagining how society approaches aging, moving away from isolation and toward interconnection and community-based care models. She has accompanied hundreds of elders through their final years, bringing a rare depth of lived experience to end-of-life care education. Through her professional Elder & End-of-Life (EoL) Accompaniment trainings, her work in advancing EoL literacy, and her approach to creating living wills in community, Sierra is helping to re-architect elder care. Her work moves us away from institutional models and toward a relational, village-based approach grounded in connection, dignity, and shared responsibility.
