About this episode
Annaliese Holland has chosen the day she will die.
At 26, she has been living with a very rare autoimmune condition for years, suffering in pain and having to be fed through a tube.
Within months Annaliese will end her life through voluntary assisted dying, wrestling back control of the one thing that's certain: her death.
In this chat with Dave, Annie explains what it's been like coming to terms with mortality so young, the thoughts that still bring her to tears, and her advice to other young Australians about living a full life and planning to die.
And this episode gets into some very heavy topics so if you need to chat, there's Lifeline: 13 11 14.
