Season 1 of Last Words comes to a close with a personal reflection from host Nic Main.
For the first time, Nic shares the story behind the podcast: recording his mother’s last words before her passing, traveling thousands of miles to meet guests with nothing but an idea, learning to walk alongside the dying through doula and hospice work, and holding space for strangers in their final moments.
This episode is a look at the long road that led here the lessons death taught along the way, the legacies carried, and the moments that reshaped what it means to live.
