Season 3 #8 Kate Bowler
Manage episode 306855588 series 2898124
Kate Bowler is a NYT bestselling author; history professor; and ‘an incurable optimist’. Host of the podcast Everything Happens, her TED talk has more than six million views and her book, No Cure for Being Human is a must-read for anyone wanting to find out more about how to be sad, well.
When Kate was just 35 years old, thriving in her career and mother to a very young son, she was diagnosed with incurable colon cancer. This forced her to completely recalibrate and focus in on the things that really mattered: what it means to live life well – particularly when you find you’re approaching its end – sharing the impact that her diagnosis had on her relationship, career, parenting, faith and all the everyday stuff that many of us take for granted. Here, we talk about:
- navigating life with the knowledge it could end any moment
- what to say and what not to say
- financial pressures
- ‘emotional tourism’
- faith and loss
- bucket lists and why Kate won’t be making one
- how some pain is just for no reason
- …but life’s still beautiful
