Don't settle. Make peace with aging. Don't second guess decisions. Don't compare to others. Growth/maturity is intellectual and emotional. Extend grace, remove malice. Be yourself, don't suppress yourself ...who am I at my core? ...how am I being perceived? ...how do I love to be perceived? It gets greater later

At a time where we’re being told (especially as women) that you don’t matter after 25 and you should live for a man, or your children:This conversation is so necessary! Well done Bevy! 👏🏾

Raised by narcissistic parents mandated that I be who THEY wanted me to be, so knowing who my authentic self was all but impossible. I became a people pleaser with no clue how to please myself. At 57, I am hoping to be ‘greater later’. Thank you for your insight.

I am 37 and finally realizing that I have to invest in my self and mental health or else it will be my Demise. I have made drastic changes and by sticking to them and not feeling guilty I am definitely looking and feeling better.

In the most perfect timing, this came to me. I am certainly at a point in my life where I’m choosing me. I’m rediscovering what I love and advocating for myself and making choices without regret. It’s liberating and as always a journey of unknowns but I am certain that I will live my life and not be miserable!

I turned 24 about two months ago, and since then I’ve been questioning my existence a lot. And I’m so happy with fact that now that I’m finally discovering my true authentic self I feel at peace, my anxiety levels went DOWN. I feel like I’ve been set free and I have this strong and intense love for myself that I can’t even explain. I’m very excited for what is yet to come.

One of the most honest Ted talk I heard recently, she's unapologetically cool & that's the quality I want in myself. Lately I've been contemplating & trying to achieve the things. It's really keeping me tossing and turning in night, I'm highly anxious but I'm trying my best to do because I know I'm never late

I’m in a transitional point in life at 50 as I discover what I’m most passionate about…what’s next for me. Bevy’s talk was inspiring and right on time. Cheers to “It gets greater later”!

It has rubbed off on you ....truly ! I Love you and your Mom , Thanks for the confidence says this 52-year-old white man living in a camper in the VA parking lot because his roommate died 5 years ago. But you know what I have time to watch this now and I have time to learn things from people like you and apply them to my life when I see fit and I think my creator for that whom I've also gotten to know much better now that I have many reasons to talk to him everyday and no matter what happens I'll continue to take the time to learn and to speak with my maker . With honor and respect , A.V.W

This IS MY FAVORITE TED TALK! I have never felt more at home with a speaker and learned more and felt like a speaker was more real and authentic with their audience. That is near impossible. How profound her wisdom and work is. And how achievable she makes us feel like it is!

"I learned how to be alone without feeling lonely" that's the goal.
