In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Kaishauna Guidry shares her journey of applying to medical school later in life—and how resilience, family support, and a deep sense of calling helped her overcome setbacks to become a hospice physician. She describes how her life experiences became her “superpower” in caring for patients at the end of life and supporting families through complex dynamics with compassion.
Dr. Guidry also reflects on how hospice work has reshaped her philosophy of living, teaching her to value joy, peace, and presence each day. She now leads Mourning Dove Medical, the first concierge mobile hospice practice of its kind, and is the author of Dr. G’s Hospice Pocket Guide and The Real Deal About Hospice. She also hosts the podcast Dr. G at the Heart of Healthcare, where she continues her mission of advocacy, education, and mentorship.
Tune in to hear about resilience through service, the power of lived experience, and the humanity at the heart of end-of-life care.
