The day I accepted my first big speaking engagement, I had a baby on my hip, oatmeal in my hair, and yo gaba gaba blaring from the iPad on my kitchen counter. I pressed send on the email and I just stood and paused. Not in awe of the opportunity, but in awe that despite being a mother, I was thriving. I wasn't thriving despite being a mother. I was thriving because I was a mother.See, the world looks at motherhood as a challenge in business, a challenge that we cannot overcome. But what if motherhood is act ...

[music] If you disappeared tomorrow, how much of your story would remain. We live in a machine-led world where every post and every message is recorded. So where is your authentic story.Let me take you back to three years ago. I was oh so happy. I was truly content with my life.I had three wonderful adult sons and one amazing grandson and a husband that I love deeply for more than 30 years. We had built a beautiful life together. In the fall of 22, we traveled through Europe and had so much fun.We were new ...

Quick raise of hands. If you ever had that day, the day you plan to be the CEO of your life and by noon you are demoted to intern of chaos. Show me your hands. Perfect. Burnt toes, missing shoes, a baby who thinks 3:00 a.m. is the perfect time for a standup. And somehow you are supposed to look camera ready for a 9:00 a.m. Zoom call. For some people, that's a rough day. For me, that was my entire summer. My support system spotty, my coffee doing over time, and my hair as you see fully resigned. I was trying ...

[music] I used to believe purpose was something you earned, a reward that came after stability, after everything else in life was in place. But life doesn't wait for stability. It throws chaos at you, ready or not.What if purpose isn't the reward for stability, but the source of it. You might remember Mazo's hierarchy of needs, an intuitive way to understand human motivation. It's a pyramid with the idea that we have to climb from the bottom up.Survive first, then feel safe, then belong, then earn respect a ...

[music] I have a radical theory that if everybody took a line for a walk every day, our world could be a better place. Not because drawing can change the headlines, but because it changes us and we can change the world. I know it sounds almost ridiculous to suggest that the simple act of drawing could possibly make a difference, especially when there's so much pain, division, and uncertainty. But maybe that's why this small act matters. Because when everything feels out of control, we can still choose to cr ...

Good morning everyone. I am Dr. . Dolina Chri, a dental surgeon and a mother of a 4-year-old boy who believes that motherhood begins the moment your alarm goes off and sometimes even before that.Every single day I hold two worlds in my hands. One world has tiny fingers that cling to me and the other belongs to my patients who put their trust in me. And somewhere between wiping little tears and treating big toothaches, I discovered an extraordinary truth about working mothers.Today I want to share that truth ...

Hello everyone. A few days back I had a 14-year-old child who came holding his mother's hand to my OPD. He was obese but otherwise looked quite bright, comfortable. But when I saw his reports, I was shocked. My heart sank. The reports were suggestive of type 2 diabetes malitis. And the mother told me, "Sir, there's no problem I see in him ex and he doesn't eat much food. He just takes chips, biscuits, cold drinks, and noodles. What most of the kids and adolescents like these days mind the words what most of ...
