What do you do when reality won’t cooperate with your plans—and you can’t pretend anymore?
Tig describes walking onstage and opening with the truth (“I have cancer”) to break the spell of denial and make space for real connection. Kate names the “luckiest unluckies” experience: when fear feels plausible because you’ve already learned how fast life can turn.
A wry, tender episode about telling the truth without drowning in it.
