Last Cut Conversations with Samantha Paige

Ever felt like a stranger in your own life? Artist Samantha Paige, the creator of Last Cut, did for far too long. It wasn't until she began deep, vulnerable self-inquiry and actively listened to the answers that her life began to change. A young adult cancer survivor and BRCA previvor, who suffered from PTSD and debilitating panic attacks, she finally started making the significant decisions, or last cuts, that made her feel as if her life were her own again. With this new way of being, she began to experience more wellness, happiness and freedom than ever before. Last cut conversations is a series of real talk with others about what they believe in most and how they too have created a life that feels like their own. Freedom, as a word and concept, is still very much on the table for so many and the question of what it means to each of us is the theme of Season 2. This season features engaging dialogue with artists, activists, nature lovers, survivors, change makers and other brave and bold human beings, sharing the ways we each create a life that feels like our own (what we move towards and what we let go of in the process) and the (inner/outer) freedom found along the way. Every Monday, Samantha will share a new episode with an inspirational guest, bravely sharing their last cut stories.

S01.4: Talila Gafter: Does Truth exist? 0
Dec 19, 2016

What is most true to you? How are you living it?

"One of the greatest liberations, perhaps, is actually recognizing for real what feels right and recognizing that what is negative is probably not right.” ~Talila Gafter, Philosopher, Pianist, Business Woman & Friend

With her background in philosophy, my guest, Talila Gafter, breaks down the fundamental meaning of the words truth and cut while discussing a pivotal last cut moment in her life, the suicide of her father. Talila earned a PhD in philosophy and wrote a dissertation on German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. She shared Nietzsche’s sentiment, “The truth is there is no truth,” and from there, our conversation examined what it is to know one’s truth and how one finds greater freedom through the pursuits of holding up those ideals.. Talila is undoubtedly one of the smartest people I have ever met. She speaks 7 languages and is constantly seeking to study and learn more, be it classical piano or philosophy. She is as kind as she is intelligent. I admire her and always learn from her way of approaching things. This Last Cut Conversation was no different. Talila challenged me to go deeper and even further refine and elevate the dialogue of the project.
