Support is Not a Consolation Prize
Good intentions deserve better tools
You just learned about another cancer diagnosis.
The familiar fear washes over you.
You desperately want to be there for them…
…but you have no idea what to say or do.
This talk helps you get unstuck.
Why are
we stuck?
When confronted with something big and scary…
…we panic because we want to make it go away…
…or we overthink and can’t move…
Let’s start there, then move out of it.
Expect something different
Heat’s cancer chat is like a TED talk on steroids, well, on cancer medicine anyways. It takes the real thing and puts it front and center in a way that will make you really help the person you want to really help. You’ve never heard a cancer talk like this before, and you owe it to yourself.
Bridge the gap
Heat’s presentation helped me connect the dots between the cards and real-world moments. Her delivery? No fluff, straight shooter — totally refreshing. It made me reflect hard on past situations where I didn’t know what to say or how to act. Her message is universal, and I’d recommend her to any audience.
Get unstuck
It was incredible. Her slides were simple and clear. Her talk was full of passion, care, and truth.
She gave us examples of how not to say dumb stuff. Which I just loved and resonated with. I can do better. She reminded me to text a friend who’s still in the thick of it.

FAQs
What makes this talk different?
It addresses problems without mincing words while acknowledging the complexity of the situation and human nature. And at the end, the audience has a toolkit with actionable tools.
What's the ideal audience size?
One or two is awkward. Around a dozen is when people seem to feel invisible enough to be comfortable. Haven’t reached an upper limit yet.
How is the time structured?
The talk itself is 18 minutes long with Q&A immediately to follow for up to an hour total. Depending on your venue and your people, some audiences prefer to write their questions as they go and some prefer to ask at a mic. Both work for me.
What's the necessary setup?
I need a projector that will play nicely with my Mac; a screen or blank space to project onto; a podium or music stand for my notes; a mic if the room is large enough to warrant one; a table to set out merch.
Are there tangible materials?
No. There are slides as part of the presentation, but there’s no handout. That said, if you’d like a handout, I can make one (no cost, but you make the copies). If you’d like your participants each to receive a deck or the app or a book, let me know and we can work out pricing.
How far ahead should we book?
At least a month is ideal, but if you’re looking for someone on a short timeline, no harm in checking my availability. I won’t say no just because it’s tomorrow, but tomorrow is less likely to be available.
How far do you travel?
Currently no limit. We just need to talk about costs of travel and acommodations ahead of time.
Is this talk available virtually?
This talk is designed for in-person delivery for maximum impact and audience connection.
