Kathy McLaughlin - To the outer edges of life and back

Conversations That Matter features Kathy McLaughlin who was one or two heartbeats this side of death and survived. Her journey is harrowing, it’s gut wrenching, it stretches your imagination to the brink and leaves you wondering if you could have survived.

What did she learn along the way and how did it change her? Did it change her philosophy, her routine, her priorities? Kathy says the biggest lesson and hardest challenge is, “being in the moment. How do you choose to act at this particular moment in time to be fully present to whatever presents itself.  And for me, I was never about that. And I still struggle with it, and then I think, okay, that's not why I'm here, that’s not why I survived.”
