TEDx Providence

I ‘Boldly Beyond’ stepped onto that red carpet last Saturday afternoon to share my story and encourage others to increase their self-compassion because… “We give what we have. When we’re hurting, we often end up hurting others (consciously or unconsciously). But when we heal ourselves, we create space for others to heal too And maybe, just maybe, that’s how we begin to heal a divided world.” Thank you TEDx Providence for such an inspiring event… and for the opportunity to be part of it. Thank you Claude Arnell Milhouse and team for all the support throughout the experience ????. I am feeling full of purpose and clarity about my path ahead. Self-compassion is needed in our world today more than ever! Start small. Begin with one kind word, one moment of mindfulness, one act of grace for yourself. Together, these moments can lead to profound transformation—not only in your life but in the lives you touch. #LoveIsthePath #selfcompassion #Mindfulness
