 This week on The MarshyCast, I’m joined by actress Simone Lahbib and Ailsa Herd from Strathcarron Hospice for a powerful and deeply human conversation. 

Simone speaks openly about the loss of her brother Stephen, who died of cancer at a young age while being cared for at Strathcarron Hospice. Alongside Ailsa, we explore what hospices really offer — not just medical care, but dignity, compassion, and space for families during the hardest moments of their lives. 

This episode isn’t about celebrity, headlines, or promotion. It’s about perspective. About love. And about how, in life’s most difficult moments, everything suddenly becomes clear. 

A gentle but important listen.
