What Dying People Know About Life That the Rest of Us Don’t | Laura Pastor

Laura Pastor is a breast cancer survivor, yoga and meditation teacher, author, hospice volunteer, and certified death doula who has spent years sitting with people near the end of their lives. In this conversation with Michael Chernow, Laura shares what cancer taught her about resilience, why movement and humor became medicine, and what dying people reveal about what actually matters in life. They also get into parenting through depression, overcoming adversity, spirituality, faith, meditation, and Michael’s profound plant medicine experience. Laura’s perspective on death, connection, fear, and gratitude is a powerful reminder that life’s hardest moments can completely change the way we live.
