I loved the part where she said, “Curiosity and authenticity are connected.” It made me realize that being true to myself means I need to be more open to exploring new things.

Hearing about her love for horses was such a unique way to start the talk. It shows how our passions can guide us through even the darkest times, I like that kind of attitude

I found the part where she talked about her journey to sobriety really powerful. It’s amazing to see how far she’s come and how she’s now helping others on their own paths.

I wasn’t expecting to be so moved by this talk, but her story really got to me. It’s a reminder that we all have the power to overcome our hardships if we stay curious and open-minded.

The story about horses synchronizing heartbeats with their riders is so beautiful!

[hirominakahara]

The idea of using curiosity as a tool for healing is something I never considered before but it makes sense... asking the right questions can lead to a lot of self-discovery.

I never realized how much judgment can hold us back from being curious. This talk made me think about how I’ve let other people’s opinions shape my decisions.

[Advengiss]

The encouragement to follow curiosity despite societal norms was powerful. It reminded me to keep exploring my passions, even though they're a little off-beat lol

[xoxo_sushi]

I’m not someone who usually reflects on my own life, but this talk made me realize the importance of asking myself questions and being curious about my own path, thank you.

I like how she didn’t sugarcoat her struggles with addiction and trauma. It takes a lot of courage to be that honest and it made her message even more powerful.

[beckettt]

I liked the focus on self-reflection and asking ourselves important questions. It's a great way to navigate difficult situations while staying true to ourselves.

[BasketofDreams]

her story about finding out she was pregnant hit me hard. It’s amazing how she found the strength to take it one step at a time and not let fear take over, personally I would have been freaking out

[imnotq]

The section about dealing with addiction and trauma was very raw and honest. It takes a lot of courage to share that.

[lilygrander]

SOOO! true, love this talk. Judgement is a dead end street.

[IkeStanlon]

Her journey from addiction to recovery was really inspiring to hear about. I love to hear proof that change is possible with the right mindset.

[nanburkhardt]

I can relate to her love for horses, the bond you form with them is truly special and they are so intelligent, it's amazing.

[sukyevers]

The pregnancy story in the Walgreens bathroom was intense. Also did a great job of showing her vulnerability in that moment

[buddabuxby]

Loved hearing about how she turned adversity into empowerment. Not everyone understands that that's what it's truly for.

[bobskillings]

I think this is an important part of self-development that people just forget about. You have to be consistent with your self-growth! If you're not constantly improving you're just getting stagnant

[rinanoshinikov]

I loved her closing statement, and I hope that I can keep my self-judgement away from long enough to follow her advice.
