Today I allowed myself to be seen, truly seen. Listening to the stories at @TEDxHouston today, I realized one thing - even if you think no one cares, share your story - you have no idea how many lives you will inspire. So special to see the Survivors that came out to support 💜

“What depression taught me was to stop, turn around, and ask why are you here? These 4 questions changed my approach to the diagnoses: 1. Who am I? 2. What do I need? 3. What do I want? 4. What keeps me alive at my core?” – @Pastor_Juanita #TEDxHOUWomen
