Barbara Butcher's LAST MEAL

What can death teach us about life? In this episode of Last Meal, I sit down with Barbara Butcher—former forensic investigator—to discuss her extraordinary career working crime scenes in New York City. We dive into the psychology of forensic work, the emotional impact of facing death daily, and the lessons she’s learned about life, grief, and resilience.

Barbara Butcher shares her personal journey of overcoming societal expectations and personal hardships. From her childhood in a large family, her struggles with alcoholism, to becoming one of the few female medical examiners in New York, Barbara's story is one of resilience and self-discovery. She also reflects on the nature of truth, the importance of service, and how working with death has shaped her perspective on life and mortality.
