Wabi-sabi: The magnificence of imperfection: Cheryl Hunter at TEDxSantaMonica
Cheryl Hunter comes at her work with a multi-pronged approach, having merged seemingly-divergent careers around one idea: that a simple story, well told and presented, has tremendous potential to educate, entertain and impact people. Cheryl is an educator, author, speaker and high-performance coach who has personally coached and led personal development seminars for over 86,000 people since 1995. Simultaneously, Cheryl has had a career in the entertainment industry spanning two decades, working as a television and feature film writer/producer-under contract with HBO, Paramount Pictures, CBS and NBC. She's also written and acted in solo plays that she's toured nationally.
Cheryl shared a personal story about having been abducted as a teenager, and asked, "Why is it that we obsess over the things we can't change, rather than the things we can?"
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This resonates with me. I needed to be reminded that I am not my trauma. I am a beautifully crafted soul living an imperfect life.
What the actual f**k, this was the most profound ted talks I've ever listened to or watched. Everything she said was all leading towards what she had to say at the end, as if it was a film or a great book. Amazing writing and great emotion while speaking Cheryl, I hope you're doing well with where you are with life now.
This reminds me of Kintsugi. Where, in a way, through personal growth and development we can fill the broken pieces with gold when we mend ourselves or help others! 💯🙏
"Love does not exist in the absence of judgment but in the presence of it" one must know the entirety, the faults

Your vulnerability in sharing this is humbling and inspiring. I'm happy that the symbolism inherent in the concept of wabi-sabi opened the path to healing from an experience no one should have to endure. Kudos to you... And thanks for sharing something so painful. I sense your emotional strength and a deep-seated faith in ultimate goodness.

I am humbled. Inspired. Moved. Much appreciated.
One of the BEST speeches I've ever heard. I respect she allowed her emotion to come through.
WOW! This is one of the most powerful talks I have ever heard! Thank you Cheryl Hunter! Beautiful soul helping other souls
I know Cheryl, we grew up near each other. Despite her horrific experience she is out in this world sharing her story as she should. The comments made here that are positive I applaud you. For those who have chosen to post unkind and or cruel comments, it's your heart and soul that needs to escape out of your body of hell it's locked into. You are no stronger or weaker than anyone. You're just as lost and cruel as those who kidnapped Cheryl.
Right now on my suggested viewing bar, the TEDxTalks that have the most views are about retiring young, happiness, being yourself, introversion... etc. It surprises me that this doesn't have more views!
