Barbara Butcher spent 23 years in the New York City Chief Medical Examiner's Office, investigating more than 5500 deaths and working disasters including the 2004 tsunami and 9/11. In this fascinating interview, she shares What the Dead Know: Learning About Life as a New York City Death Investigator (her new book), how she landed the job newly sober, and how non-traditional but deeply held spiritual principles carried her through. Her website is https://BarbaraButcherAuthor.com, or follow her on Facebook and Instagram. 

Big announcement from Victoria: This is last "Meetings With Remarkable Women" podcast. By popular demand, she'll return to the Main Street Vegan Podcast on September when her guest will be Colleen Patrick Goudreau.
