What to say to someone with a chronic illness | Xander Keller | TEDxCherryCreekHS
Most of us want to connect, but the words we reach for can sometimes push people away.In this TEDx talk, Xander Peer Keller shares how a simple shift in language can change everything — especially for those of us living with chronic illness. Through humor, story, and lived experience, Xander reveals what not to say to someone with chronic illness — and what we can say instead to create space for honesty, dignity, and real connection. This talk isn’t only about illness. It’s about how to talk to someone who is struggling, how to choose presence over fixing, and how to build relationships rooted in empathy.
Xander Peer Keller is a speaker, coach, and facilitator with heart—drawing on interdependence, creativity, and everyday magic to build worlds where being different doesn’t mean being alone. Living with chronic illness and rooted in years of community practice, Xander shows how care, creativity, and interdependence can change the way we live and work together.
They bring this vision to life through intuitive coaching, writing on Substack, hosting the Held Together podcast and live events, and facilitating groups, retreats, and workshops.
