On Death and Dying with Laurie Furr-Vancini '87, Becca Omler MD '13, and Anne Smith '89
<p>In a world where conversations about death are often avoided, understanding how to navigate this challenging transition can be daunting. This discomfort often stems from societal norms that discourage open discussions about mortality. On this episode, we dive into the insights of people who understand the importance of addressing death openly and honestly–Laurie Furr-Vancini '89 is a retired minister and is now trained as a death doula (we’ll talk about what that even is) and Becca Omler MD '13 is a hospice coctor who has dedicated her career to helping families through the dying process. And Anne Smith '89 joins the conversation as a family member whose mother recently passed. </p><p>In this conversation, we’ discuss the role of hospice in end of life care, the value a death doula can bring to the process, and how to navigate the tensions that can arise between family members, caregivers and healthcare professionals. This episode will give you actionable strategies to engage in meaningful conversations about mortality, ensuring you feel empowered and informed as you face transitional times for your loved ones. </p><p>Resources: </p><p>Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully by Julie McFadden, RN</p><p><a href="https://www.hospicenursejulie.com/book" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hospicenursejulie.com/book</a></p><p>Being with Dying Cultivating Compassion and Fearlessness in the Presence of Death by Joan Halifax</p><p><a href="https://www.joanhalifax.org/publications" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.joanhalifax.org/publications</a></p><p>Being Mortal by Atul Gawande</p><p><a href="https://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/</a></p><p><br /></p>

Pregnancy in the Workplace with Stephanie Kramer '04 and Kristen Bryant Smith '12
<p>Navigating pregnancy while maintaining a career can be challenging. Expectant parents face unique obstacles, from managing workloads to ensuring a supportive work environment. As a human resource professional, Stephanie Kramer saw team members struggle to figure out how to balance their desire to excel in their careers while also growing a family. She drew on hundreds of conversations with working mothers, as well as her own experiences to write a book called “Carry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work.” </p><p>Kristen, an accomplished marketing and branding professional, has recently had her second child, so it seemed like a good idea to bring these two Wake Women together for a deep discussion on pregnancy at work, to explore the challenges, opportunities, and strategies for working mothers. If you know someone who is juggling career and pregnancy, this episode is for you. </p><p>Resources</p><p>Carry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXYZ1234"><u>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXYZ1234</u></a></p><p> LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/stephaniekramer</p><p>LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/kristenbryantsmith</p><p><br></p>
