Owning your story paves the way to liberation and empowerment | Wendy Molefi-Youri | TEDxFulhamWomen

Описание: When you’re in a position of leadership, the stigma of a mental health illness can be immensely burdensome. You daren’t speak out for fear of losing control, for fear of losing respect, for fear of potentially losing your job; your livelihood. But, we all know the consequences all too well. This talk is about being bold, finding your voice, owning your story and letting it out; still somehow trusting in the knowledge that freedom and healing will follow. Dr Wendy Molefi-Youri is a highly experienced GP with a specialist interest in women’s health and wellbeing. With her background in wellness coaching and mindfulness teaching, she offers an integrated approach to her clinical and coaching practice.
Wendy has a Masters degree in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) from Oxford. Her dissertation on ‘The role of Mindfulness Based Interventions in facilitating psychological adjustment in the menopause’ was published in the British Menopause Society Journal.
As a working mother, Wendy brings a wealth of experience and knowledge on the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the demands of a busy and fulfilling career with family life. She is an advocate for increased mental health awareness and wellbeing in the workplace. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
