What would you do if tomorrow was guaranteed to be your last day on Earth?
This soul-searching question gripped Kate Mansur after she lost four friends in shocking deaths. Listen as she shares her journey from paralyzing fear to empowered living as mortality awoke her to what truly matters. After unexpectedly losing four close friends, Kate Mansur found herself gripped with a paralyzing fear of death. She had blindly assumed she'd live to a ripe old age, but the abrupt deaths of her young friends shattered this belief.
Plunged into an existential crisis, Kate gradually moved from trauma to growth as she realized the utter lack of control we have over our mortality. Her perspective profoundly shifted after the death of her adventurous friend Dan, who fully lived chasing his dreams until his tragic end on Mount Everest.
Kate shares her journey from fearful and playing it safe while working at Google, to radically reinventing her life in alignment with her curiosity and joy. She explains how acknowledging the fragility of life can be a gateway to awakening - helping us gain clarity, urgency, and motivation to live authentically without clinging to societal expectations.
Kate also provides psychological insights into our fear of death, the concept of post-traumatic growth, and actionable ways we can cultivate aliveness by embracing uncertainty. Tune in for an inspiring and insightful conversation!
