We return to BEFORE I GO… Embracing the Journey of MAiD, the powerful podcast hosted by Marion Brown and her daughter, Danielle Wilson-Brown. Marion, a member of the Gitxaala Nation in BC, lives with Pulmonary Hypertension — a condition that has shaped her life and the lives of many in her family. With honesty and clarity, she has chosen to access MAiD when her illness progresses to a point that feels right for her.

What makes their podcast so compelling is the way Marion and Danielle invite listeners into their world. They don’t shy away from the difficult parts of this journey. Instead, they talk about them openly — grounding their discussions in their Indigenous identity, their family history, and the lessons passed down through generations. Alongside the voices of relatives and knowledgeable professionals, they explore what it means to prepare for death while still deeply engaged in the act of living.

As you step into this next part of our discussion, you’ll hear more of the thoughtful, emotional, and deeply human reflections that define their story. Marion and Danielle continue to share their experience with courage and tenderness, offering insights that may help others find language, connection, and even comfort as they navigate their own conversations about life, death, and choice.

Here is part two of our conversation.
