[music] So I have a question for the audience before I start my talk. How many of you started college or university when you were in your late teens or early 20s or are thinking about doing that now? So the number of you and for those of you who raised your hand, how many of you thought it was the greatest time of your life? Almost. almost the same. Well, I was in college when I was 19 years old and I thought it was the greatest time of my life. It was that precipice between adolescence and adulthood. It wa ...

Keď mi zavolala Oli Džupinková, že Willy, počuj, môžeš dôjsť na TEDX a porozprávať o svojom príbehu, tak som povedal, jasné, kedy, kde, ako, čo a až potom mi došlo, že vlastne čo ja tu budem rozprávať, hej. Eh, tá téma rakoviny a rakovina proste na Slovensku je fakt, že tabu a spája sa s tým smrť, spája sa s tým strach, čo je úplne prirodzené. Ale povedal som si, že ak to má byť o nejakých vzoroch viditeľných, neviditeľných, tak prídem veľmi rád, lebo eh mne aj takéto nejaké vzory a nejaké takéto veci v rám ...

What if the reason we struggle to take better care of the spaces and planet entrusted to us is because we never learned how to properly and consistently take good care of ourselves. We tend to define sustainable living by what we can build and harvest. Smarter cities, stronger systems, renewable resources.But really, do we ask what sustains the people doing the building and maintaining for life and living to be sustainable. In 2020, my family and I started a garden. It was about a month into lockdown and my ...

You've all heard the phrase, "Put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. " Now, I want you to be honest with me. If you were sitting on a plane next to mom, best friend, grandpa, and they were panicking in an emergency, do you really think you'd be able to do that? Honestly, me either, but that's why you're here today. The problem is is that most of us were raised and conditioned to be nice women, not kind women. We've been told to smile, say yes, don't make waves, but niceness often comes at ...

How many of you have been bullied by your bathroom mirror. I remember the last time I let it happen to me. I was 6 weeks postpartum and had just survived my first devastating ordeal as a mother.At 23 days old, my perfect brand new baby daughter developed a fever. It kept climbing 101, 102, 104. As we rushed her to the hospital, it reached 105.She began seizing, turned green. Her condition was so severe that her usual hospital couldn't treat her and we had to make the agonizing drive to another clinic. And e ...

Core Argument - The presentation addresses the issue of people-pleasing, its origins in childhood experiences, and its negative impact on mental and physical health [1][5][17][18] - It emphasizes the importance of overcoming people-pleasing tendencies to achieve confidence, self-assurance, and genuine relationships [4][15][16] Psychological Insights - People-pleasing often stems from a fear of rejection and a strong need for external validation, rather than being a personality trait [1][17][18] - Prolonged people-pleasing can lead to emotional stress and physical health issues due to elevated cortisol levels, potentially causing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and digestive disorders [17][18] - The speaker's personal journey highlights how childhood experiences, such as being a middle child seeking attention, can contribute to developing people-pleasing behaviors [5][6] Practical Methods for Overcoming People-Pleasing - The presentation offers a three-point method for overcoming people-pleasing: minding one's own business (letting go of others' opinions), connecting with one's inner self (listening to body signals and setting boundaries), and serving from a space of abundance (filling one's own "love tank" before helping others) [19][20][21][22][23] - It encourages individuals to differentiate between others' opinions as projections of their own insecurities and to live according to personal goals and principles [20][21] - The speaker advocates for self-compassion, daring to say no, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care, emphasizing that self-care is not selfish but self-love [22][24][25] Leadership and Professional Implications - The speaker's experience as a business owner illustrates how people-pleasing can negatively impact leadership, leading to confusion among employees and a lack of respect [10][11] - Overcoming people-pleasing enables leaders to provide genuine feedback, correct employees when necessary, and offer sincere compliments, fostering a more respectful and effective work environment [15][16] - Seeking professional help, such as therapy, can be a turning point in recognizing and addressing people-pleasing tendencies, leading to personal and professional growth [12][13][14]

Burnout Definition and Impact - The American Psychological Association defines burnout as mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion, often with decreased motivation and lowered performance [3] - Burnout can lead to internal shame, especially for Black women due to societal expectations of strength and resilience [4][5] - Suppressing emotions, though praised, increases the risk of mental and physical health conditions like high-functioning depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, heart problems, and migraines [15][16] The "Strong Black Woman" Schema - Black women face intersecting pressures that decrease their experience with happiness and joy [7] - The "strong black woman" schema describes Black women as resilient, avoiding vulnerability, self-sufficient, and in service to others, which can be exhausting [10][11] - This expectation can lead to suffering being seen as a badge of honor, distorting experiences with happiness [11] Recovery and Self-Care - Addressing burnout involves honesty, self-care, and recognizing the need for help [8] - The most radical act for Black women is to care for themselves fully and unapologetically [20] - Resisting the myth that strength means self-abandonment and choosing self-care are crucial [21]
