My TEDx Talk Is Out Now Globally

Dying to Belong (Striving to find belonging) is a powerful and deeply personal TEDx talk about the hidden cost of trying to fit in and my journey to finding myself. Growing up Australian-Filipino in regional Australia in the 90s, I spent years reinventing myself to earn belonging through appearance, achievement, and approval. What began as a desire to fit in slowly turned into striving, self-rejection, and an eating disorder that nearly cost me my life.

Through four defining seasons: Belonging, Striving, Acceptance, and Wholeness, I share my story of struggle, survival, and transformation. With honesty, faith, and hope, I aim to inspire audiences to reconsider what it truly means to belong and to have the courage to flourish, align with their purpose, and dream boldly at any stage of life.
