Ep. 28: Squirrel Theory Of Happiness, Tibetan Book Of the Dead, and IHE In NYC; Meet Dr. Jessica Fragola

Jessica Fragola graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011 (Eve's classmate!).  She then pursued a meandering career path as an equine vet, then a mixed animal vet, then a wannabe veterinary ophthalmologist, then an emergency vet prior to starting her in-home euthanasia practice in NYC earlier this year. During her years as an emergency vet, she discovered she felt truly fulfilled helping people make the difficult decision to end treatment and choose hospice or euthanasia. Outside of veterinary medicine, she is a long-distance runner and enjoys hanging out with her two cats, Chester and Cinder.
