Cecily Strong: Embracing the Yes/And

Cecily Strong: Embracing the Yes/And

Can hilarity and sorrow co-exist? Comedian and actress Cecily Strong (of Saturday Night Live fame) is professionally funny. But after a series of losses, she was forced to discover how devastation and love sometimes exist at the same time—both in great measure.

In this conversation, Kate and Cecily discuss:

  • Why we need to practice changing
  • How much of our lives is determined by almostness
  • Moving past the “winning” and “losing” paradigm for illness
  • When we can stop being afraid (and how maybe fearlessness is for psychopaths)
  • Loving people’s uniqueness
  • Why allowing yourself to feel big emotions can be daunting, and how love, beauty, and maybe even magic can be present simultaneously


Kate ends with a Blessing for the Both/And. This deep conversation about the cost of love will surprise you with its tenderness and offers us all a little room to grieve the things we’ve lost.
