I loved our oncologist so much for how well she managed my late husband's care and for her tenacity. But I so wish she'd been able to talk with us about how things might go if treatment was not successful. I asked questions, almost confrontationally, and she just.couldn't.do.it. Since then, I've thought that all oncologists should have required CMEs with a solid hospice RN who could walk them through that reality. This episode is filled with gentle truths of the life we actually have. Thank you

Spoken like a person who NEVER faced real adversity. Privileged brat.

Thank you

It's a pity we only have this one word, 'love,' in the English language. The warmhearted appreciation that flows between you is a balm to all who witness it. It is a flavor of love, and love has so many flavors. Thank you.

You are so awesome Kate❤️.

Sam is such a hoot. And still as pretty as can be.

Future politician ... word salad .. up her own arse

Love you Alan! Class act! Mr. Howkeye!

Absolutely beautiful

How does this not have more views?! This blessed me so much!

My Dad's favourite...I read it at his funeral as part of his eulogy...We helped each other become more real during his palliative months 😢

Kate your honesty is refreshing as is your insight. Youre living a remarkable life and I wish you continued life, growth and love.

(Someone wants to go out and get killed which would be Person #1) Person #1: (whispering) I’m going out to get hit by a vehicle. Person #2: (after hearing the whisper and therefore holding onto Person #1 super tight) No! Don’t leave this house! Person #1: SHUT THE ****UP AND LET GO OF ME! LET GO! LET GO, PLEASE! (Person #2 persistently shakes his/her/their head.) Person #1: OHH, I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! Person #2: Why? Person #1: BECAUSE YOU WON’T SET ME FREE! YOU’RE ONLY HOLDING ME PRISONER BY KEEPING ME ALIVE!!!!!!!!! Person #2: I have every right to hold you prisoner! Person #1: BUT I WANT TO DIE SO BAD! Person #2: Nope! You’re going to listen to me and do as I say forever, even throughout eternity, no matter what!

This fits life pretty perfectly! xo

Hi, ladies....Wow: This is such a heartfelt, uplifting and engaging interview. Really enjoyed taking it in. Thanks, y'all! 👏And not sure if you'll ever see this, Savannah, but I had the immense privilege of hearing you interviewed today (at St. James Church in NYC), and it was fantastic. *YAY* Your candor, warmth, sense of humor and beautiful humanity come through, in all you do. And that's a true gift to so many of us. Fully coming out of the spiritual closet, so to speak, is not easy; however, you're still doing it, and you are richly blessing us with this process. I got to share the last compliment/question today, and I really meant what I said -- you, dear sister, are "walking the talk," in letting the Divine love you enough to be vulnerable and share the love of God (with the world at large). That's no small feat. Brava & keep on keeping on!! 🤍With Sincere Thanks & Love, Rev. Kat 😇

I wish so much that I could have joined this conversation! I have been in the ‘I don’t want to die, but I can’t live with this anymore.’ Having my dr ask me about suicide was such a relief, but for me going into the hospital felt a very safe place too.

Last yr I did the alpha course in Australia 🇦🇺 and loved it

Lovely interview/chat

Reconstructed past, perceived present, imagined future - yessss! That narrative & the breaking down of it is shattering... Thank you so much for this conversation!

Such a comforting blessing. Thank you.

Was it so traumatic that you are still thinking about it 30 years later?. Really that traumatic?. My Great Aunt, at 17, came home from work and her house, with every single member of her family, was volatilized. There was a 30 meter long, 5 meter high pile of smoldering rubble where her street was. She went to the police station, reported her work-place as her temporary address, and went and got somewhere to sleep from a friend . . . and went back to her job the next morning. This happened to 40 000 other young people, JUST IN HER CITY, * in that same three months . . . orphaned, no home, only rubble. USUALLY they just grit their teeth and carried on, and never bothered anyone with their feelings about the trauma. When she was approaching her 60th birthday, her daughter, my cousin, wanted to sit down and interview her, for a family history she was going to compile. My Great Aunt said "Oh, I decided I had my life to live, so I grieved then put that behind me. I don't make a habit of thinking about all that". and refused to go into it. But, PLEASE, tell us about how your mother wouldn't listen to you when you told them your chores were too hard. *at the time, the same thing and much worse, was happening all over Europe and REALLY worse in Asia, so it was probably so common that half the WORLD had ACTUAL trauma . . . which they dealt with without going on talk shows, and built the world we have inherited.

I notice you have a tattoo on your wrist and I’ve watched this three times now but can’t work out what it says. Please notice my misery and tell me what it says please 😂

I’m feeling this conversation so much right now as I do contemporary kintsugi gilding on figurines of social institutions. I searched for a podcast to listen to while gilding oddly to get my brain to stop spinning on how I’m the world I can afford to pay for the school I was accepted to study murals and gilding. Not sure if this is really going to distract me lol!

Thank you, an excellent interview.

He rested in the grave on Sabbath according to the Commandment.

Thank you! Loved the encouragement on a variety of fronts.

Love Alan Alda, I'm from Guatemala, I learned English seeing him everyday in M.A.S.H I love to see his smile and his sense of humor. I owe him a lot. His work kept me smiling for many years. I graduated as a Nurse in NY and I still see him every week.

Love You Kate have a great night ❤

It's interesting to get to know this cute girl who is known for her enthusiastic energy. She brings light to our own childhood traumas small or big. Were they real? How would I see it as an adult? As an adult I learned that the words, should, ought, and must are too black and white. They create guilt no matter how caring we are. Think about how when we say, you should.....says whatever you want to say is wrong or whatever you did was the wrong choice. There is no other in between choice. It takes away agency and no matter what there is only one choice. It causes guilt that we don't realize. Just saying from experience and feeling freedom when I understood this.

Hey ma'am my name is meet and I am your biggest fan ❤️ From India

To find a pocketful of joy in each day…..I will try to hold on to that. To not feel guilty when your precious one is suffering so much and dying of cancer …to not feel guilty if I can enjoy food when my precious one can’t even eat and on and on …. So hard I am putting in this comment because just hearing you say that makes me feel a slight bit less guilty. Thank you dear soul.

My daughter (46 yr) who has lived with us all her life due to a physical disability is now dying of spreading cancer. I feel so very guilty when in my mind I am thinking of logistics like what do I say in the paper or facebook, how are people able to get photos together for those videos playing in the funeral home and more much more. Oh God this is unbearably hard. My daughter Amy is the kindest person anyone could meet…..I see her sitting in the recliner wondering how is she going to die and she remains kind and truly sweet. I just know God will get us through…..I don’t know how…. Thank you for sharing about your wonderful wife.

Two of my favorite artists together in a rich, meaningful, reflective conversation.❤

This was wonderful. Both of you are cut from the same cloth and I am grateful for your witness.

Hosanna!

Just discovered you on Instagram, Kate & I'm SO happy I did!!💞 I'm back in a relationship with God...just recently...and I've also lost my whole family of origin recently😭💔, so I'm feeling like my foundation, a big part of my foundation has crumbled...it feels like quicksand in a way, this grief...but at the same time, am I re-finding & refining God and His love as my foundation that is deeper than this grief and loss? Oh, I hope you somehow see this message...you are a new gift for me, such wisdom & compassion, I wanted to thank you.

I can think of one person constantly in the media spotlight to whom this does *not* apply, but for most of us; yes!

Don't be spiritual, the devil loves spirituality. Be religious, which means a relationship with God.

Thank you for this great interview of Rainn. Fellow Baha’i here. ❤

HA HA this is gold, the memories of Rainn from Nicaragua, the endless fight between his father and the sloth♥ this man!!! omg I adore him, my dream is to make him an interview!

This was a fantastic conversation. Honest and thought provoking. Thank you.

Its already happened.
