In episode 6 of Carrie's Always Talking, Carrie has Courtney Alesandro join again to follow up on their episode from last week. The idea that dying is a moral failure and the cancer battle analogy are discussed in this mini episode. Courtney is a breast cancer survivor as well, and she shares some of her insights around how the idea of losing a battle to an illness is a way for us to separate ourselves from the painful realization that we are all going to face death at some point. The episode topic sounds heavy, but there are lots of laughs and connection taking place while sharing a similar philosophy post cancer diagnosis and treatment.
