  Presence is Medicine: Every Passage We Face with Margaret Pasquesi

  Aug 18, 20261h 6mS1

  When someone you love is dying, nobody hands you a map. You are guessing about the medication. You are guessing about the restlessness. You are quietly terrified you are doing this wrong. In this episode of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden sits down with Margaret Pasquesi, a certified music-thanatologist, vocalist, and harpist who serves as president of the Music-Thanatology Association International. Margaret brings live harp and voice to the bedside of the dying, not as a performance, but as a prescription tuned to a patient's breath, pulse, and temperature. She explains what actually happens in the final days, why so many loving families withhold the very medication that would bring their Person comfort, and how to know when the dying has started so the right people can be in the room. Margaret also shares how a punk rock kid, child number seven of ten, followed a strange calling into one of the most unusual vocations in end of life care. Sister, if you are caring for a parent, sitting with a friend, or standing at your own empty nest wondering what comes next, this conversation is for you.

  The Long Run, Who's Gonna Make It?

  Aug 11, 202623 minS1

  Nobody reaches the end of their life wishing they had pleased more people. Tami Jorden has spent hours in rooms with the dying, and what she hears instead, again and again, is this: I wish I had realized what actually mattered. In this solo episode of Butterfly Days, Tami unpacks the scorecard GenX and GenJones women were handed before they were old enough to question it. She explains why it kept paying out just often enough to keep us playing for thirty years, why the thing we call a midlife crisis is really the reinforcement schedule breaking down, and why success is the very thing that hides the miscalculation. Then she draws the line that changes everything: the difference between a life assigned to you and a life you author yourself. Tami introduces the second portfolio, the one nobody told us to build, with two holdings, contribution and kinship. Most women arrive at fifty five having never taken inventory of either. This is a clear-eyed, warm rally cry to put down the wrong instrument and start measuring what actually counts.

  Aging Parents: The Stuff, the Car Keys & Your Sanity with Kirsten Mau

  Aug 4, 202654 minS1

  Your group chats are blowing up about aging parents. The house full of stuff. The car keys. The "maybe we need some help at home" conversation nobody wants to start. In this episode of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden sits down with Kirsten Mau, founder and creator of Who Gets the China?, the podcast, Substack, and website dedicated to helping sandwich generation women save their sanity while navigating life with aging parents. Kirsten shares the paradigm shifts that changed everything for her: asking what do you want to keep instead of what can we get rid of, getting real buy-in before you touch a single closet, and practicing radical acceptance when your parents simply are not ready. She and Tami get honest about the car keys conversation, how to offer in-home help as a gift to you rather than a verdict on them, the spoons theory, and why access to your parents' electronic health records is a must for anyone caregiving from a distance. If you are caring for parents while raising kids and trying to live your own life, Sister, this one is for you.

  Forged Not Erased: Caregiving in Midlife Without Losing Yourself

  Jul 28, 202623 minS1

  If you are the one holding it all together for someone who cannot carry themselves right now, this episode was made for you. In this solo episode of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden draws on her hospice and vigil work to name the two traps waiting for midlife caregivers: the old one that turns selflessness into erasure, and the new one that dresses up desertion as protecting your peace. Tami walks through research on caregiving and menopause symptoms, the science of self-silencing and what it costs a woman's heart, and the real difference between the martyr and the wise caregiver. One disappears. One does not. She shares six practical ways to sacrifice wisely, from naming your limits out loud to scheduling respite like a medical appointment, plus a full list of caregiver support resources including Daughterhood, the Eldercare Locator, and respite programs. This is not permission to walk away. It is permission to stay whole while you stay.

  It's Never Too Late: Taking a Midlife Gap Year with Lindsey Goldstein

  Jul 21, 20261h 3mS1

  What would you do if your whole life blew up in 48 hours? In this episode of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden sits down with Lindsey Goldstein, author of the debut novel Gap Year. It tells the story of Jane, a 46 year old CPA whose daughter leaves for a year abroad, whose husband leaves her for another woman, and whose boss hands her an ultimatum, all within two days. Instead of staying stuck, Jane books a ticket to Ecuador to climb Cotopaxi, the volcano she dreamed of summiting in her twenties. Lindsey shares why she refused to make her heroine younger, how travel gives you license to change the script, why friendship is one of the most powerful longevity strategies we have, and the deathbed question that finally pushed her to write. If you are standing at your own pivot and wondering what is still in your tank, this conversation is for you. Connect with Lindsey Goldstein at lindseygoldsteinauthor.com .
