There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same. And time is divided into two parts.Before this and after this. Sometimes you can feel such a moment coming. And that's the test.Or so I tell myself. I tell myself that at times like that, strong people keep moving forward anyway, no matter what they're going to find. Hi, I've been told that there's a handful of you here who were told that I was going to be giving a speech about the most expensive haircut I ever r ...

[Applause] All right, just to start things out really quickly, let me put you in a hypothetical situation. If you fall down in a 100 ft deep hole, would you rather just stay down there or climb back up. If you have no tools or resources, would you rather stay down there or climb back up.Realistically, it'd be easier not not to climb. I mean, what is the point of climbing when you know that eventually you might just fall back down to the bottom again. But what you, my fellow novice whole climbers, need to kn ...

[Music] You are not crazy. Well, let's start by saying that this is a life. Maybe not completely, but at least partially.And for that, I would talk about myself in the beginning. Sometimes I question if I'm crazy. More like I always question if I'm crazy.The reasons deferred over time. I used to question if I'm crazy because I fear mannequins. Then I started to question if I'm crazy because I'm scared of aliens abducting me, putting me in a small room where I suffocate when no one noticing or because I just ...

[Applause] When you hear the word quitter, what's the first thing that comes to your mind. I bet it's something negative like loser, failure, coward, lazy, or irresponsibility. For example, they are rage quitters.They are people who get frustrated when things like video games are not going well and quit halfway. Wait, why does this sound familiar to me. Speaking of video games, there is an award gaming winning game called Ghost of Tsushima.If you're a gamer, you might have heard of it. The story is based on ...

We all wear a mask. Some of us just wear so many we forget our real face. Let me show you mine.Who is it. Come in. Hey, Mommy's Princess.Yes, you can get a snack. Close mommy door behind you. Glow is not just another girls organization.We are the organization. So, if we're really going to make the impact that we say we're making, there must be measurements.

So, our first song is going to be called Under the Surface, which explores topics around breaking habits, breaking cycles, and reconnecting with yourself again. [Music] Spend enough time running in circles trying to find find my pattern. I spend enough time running in circles like any of us know what's going on under the surface. It feels like a losing game. Do the right things, you still go lame. Don't say your word and still fall flat on your face. I guess rising save me. Show me I'm not going crazy. How ...

Well, I certainly have.In the wake of more familiarity with mental health in our generation, OCD still seems to get the majority viewpoint of really is perfectionism in cleaning, organizing, or just being tidy in general. These are ...

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] What if I told you that the most effective health care system doesn't start in a hospital, but it starts in the streets. 12 years ago, between finishing my master's degree and beginning my PhD, I took my kids on a cross-country road trip to California. A sorry mommy's going back to school for a little longer adventure.We explored much of Southern California. During our time in LA, we unexpectedly found ourselves in the heart of Skid Row. Despite my own past expe ...
