We don’t avoid these conversations because we don’t care. We avoid them because no one ever taught us how. That’s the problem—and the opportunity. At Clarehouse, education is becoming a core part of the solution. Join host Kelley Scott and Britni Smith, Clarehouse Education Director, to talk about how we show up for each other when it matters most.

In this episode, Host Kelley Scott speaks with Beth Lynn Hoey, Executive Director of the Foundation of the Catholic Diocese of Syracuse and board member of Omega Home Network. They explore the compassionate work behind Omega Homes, loving end-of-life care and what caregiving teaches us about life.

Longtime Clarehouse volunteer Melanie Wignall shares how profound personal loss shaped her compassion. What began as a personal search for meaning after losing her father evolved into a two-decade commitment that has shaped the organization's voice, visuals and spirit.

Many of us feel it: the rush, the pressure, the urgency of healthcare. But where is it taking us? Join host Kelley Scott and Jennifer Clark, MD, for a powerful conversation about slowing down medicine and restoring dignity to care.

Host Kelley Scott speaks with Thad Hensley, a self-identified physicalist who does not believe in a nonphysical realm, and Scott Gordon, a longtime hospice chaplain shaped by Christian faith. Their dialogue explores how people make meaning at the end of life, how belief systems evolve under pressure and why human connection matters more than any answer about what comes next.

Dementia changes people - but what remains of who they are? Join host Kelley Scott as Jarrod Noftsger and Donna Eastham share raw, moving stories about love, loss and caregiving.
