Episode 139: A conversation with Juli Boit about her new book, “Brave Love: A Nurse’s Story of Courage and Compassion in a Kenyan Hospice.”

In Today’s episode, Saul talks to Juli Boit about her new book,Brave Love: A Nurse’s Story of Courage and Compassion in a Kenyan Hospice.” In 2004, at just 25 years old, Juli Boit embarked on a remarkable journey from her home in Los Angeles to a remote Kenyan village of Kipkaren River. Driven by a profound calling and desire to make a difference, Juli witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on the local community, particularly among young adults and children. Year after year, she dedicated herself to caring for the sick and dying alongside her Kenyan colleagues. 

 

Now, nearly two decades later, Juli has gathered a collection of stories that reveal the essence of her courageous and compassionate journey. Her new book, “Brave Love: A Nurse’s Story of Courage and Compassion in a Kenyan Hospice” is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love and will be released on November 6, 2023. Brave Love invites readers to explore the heart and soul of hospice care in Kenya, offering a beacon of hope in even the most challenging circumstances. 

 

Guided by the question, “What does it look like to love in this situation?” Juli dives deep into the essence of love in challenging circumstances, something we can all relate to. And Juli will tell you that loving your neighbor can happen anywhere – both in a Kenyan hospice and right down the street.

A Look at Anonymity – with Seamus McTier

Table for 3 today! Seamus is in the coffee shop. Truth be told, Seamus is an alias. Why anonymity, why use an alias? Seamus talks about the stigma attached to addiction. When he graduated college and started a career – he was already sober 5 years. They didn’t know him when he wasn’t sober, so what positive would come from talking about his alcoholism? 

Seamus found he wanted people to get to know him first, and IF the sobriety thing came up, he would share it. Early in sobriety he was concerned with what people thought, but now he can sum it up with:  “You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do,” a quote from David Foster Wallace.
