Julie McFadden, aka Hospice Nurse Julie, spent 8 years as an ICU nurse, where she and her colleagues would talk about the likelihood of patients dying with each other and not with the dying person and their families,

Julie’s desire to advocate for dying patients and their families led her to transition into hospice nursing, where she realized how natural and beautiful the dying process can be.

Julie has brought death education into the social media space, garnering huge followings on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Her new book, Nothing To Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully is available everywhere this week, and her videos and writing work to alleviate the fear and stigma around death and dying in the hopes of helping people have better, more peaceful, deaths.
