⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode discusses terminal illness and end-of-life choices. If you’re not in the right headspace, please take care before listening.
In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Necole, the niece of Kay Henderson, whose story has captured national attention. Kay recently made the decision to end her life through Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), a choice that became legal in New South Wales in 2023.
Necole shares Kay’s journey—her lifelong battle with Marfan syndrome, the immense pain she endured, and the thoughtful, love-filled way she chose to say goodbye. We discuss the process of VAD, the misconceptions surrounding it, and the overwhelming public response to Kay’s decision, including her viral TikTok videos documenting her final days.
This episode is about choice, dignity, and love. No matter where you stand on this topic, I encourage you to listen with an open heart. And if you’d like to honour Kay, wear something purple on March 3rd—her birthday—and maybe enjoy a cheesy garlic bread in her memory.
