My DREAM Came true. ❤️
For as long as I can remember, I have ALWAYS Wanted to do a TEDx Talk. 🙏
I told myself...ONE DAY...
I STILL can't believe it. ❤️
I was finally able to share some DEEPLY personal stories, I have NEVER shared with anyone, even my husband and son.
When I looked out and saw my Parents, Bao Thai , Connor, my FAMILY , and my FRIENDS, my patients, in the audience, it brought me right back to the moments that shaped my talk, and yes, I CRIED on stage. I was so surprised and touched to see them crying with me. ❤️
I can't thank them enough for being my biggest supporters for THIS event and in LIFE. ❤️
However, what truly MOVED me was what happened afterward... the people who came up to tell me that my story resonated with them, that they’ve been through something similar, and that my words helped them in some way.
That’s EVERYTHING I could have ever hoped for. ❤️
I’m so incredibly GRATEFUL for the LOVE and SUPPORT from everyone who was there, and from the amazing TEDxSouthlake team and fellow speakers who made the day so unforgettable.
The OFFICIAL VIDEO won’t be available until early January 2026 (after TED’s review and editing process), but I CAN’T WAIT to share it once it’s released.
Until then, here’s a small glimpse of that moment... one I’ll never forget. ❤️ Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out. Thank you all for your kind words and support. I will be FOREVER grateful. ❤️
