Interview with Katy Raymond, RN, Death Doula

On today's episode, I interview Katy Raymond, RN, EOLD about her role as a Death Doula and her nursing business Wewillgetby.com.

Katy is a practicing RN. She has a degree in English from University of Washington and got a second degree in nursing from Duke University in 2005. After an 18-year career as an ICU nurse and a travel ICU nurse, she earned her certification as a Death Doula and End of Life planner through the Going with Grace program founded by Alua Arthur. She recently created her own Death Doula business named We Will Get By, LLC.

Katy talks about her views on death and how being a death doula can be so helpful in the transition to end-of-life care or "deathcare" outside the hospital. This is a super interesting episode and so helpful.

Thank you so much for being on the show, Katy! Go follow what Katy is up to on her Instagram @we.will.get.by!
