Facing life and death, with cancer | Kat McHale | TEDxExeter

How would you live if you knew you might die soon? Kat McHale has been forced to confront her own mortality since being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34. In this deeply personal talk, she reflects on what’s most important in her life - and invites you to do the same. __ At TEDxExeter 2019 our theme was The Art of the Possible. We’re living in an age of polarity where many communities are feeling more and more divided, against a backdrop of increasingly populist politics which risk dividing us even further. Our talks offer an opportunity to pause and consider the future we want to create, the possibilities that may be obscured in the busyness of our everyday lives, and how we might get there.
