Katie Couric: The Courage to Try (and Wisdom to Know When to Let Go)

Katie Couric: The Courage to Try (and Wisdom to Know When to Let Go)

Katie Couric is an award-winning journalist and bestselling author. Her hustle and ambition not only served her career aspirations, but when faced with the unthinkable, she poured those same qualities into tireless advocacy.

In this conversation, Katie and Kate discuss,

  • The gifts (and limits) of hyper-agency
  • The courage it takes to not fix things
  • Why it is so scary to acknowledge our limits and our losses


Katie has so much to teach us about what happens when our problems cannot be easily solved—no matter how hard we try. In this vulnerable conversation, Katie shares candidly about the lengths she went to avoid grief, but why she had to learn to face it nonetheless. We need the courage to try (and the wisdom to stop).
