Caron's TedX

Caron, residing in Syracuse, NY is an RN, breathwork facilitator, and heart attack survivor, transforming lifeā€™s challenges into stories of hope and healing. With warmth and insight, she shares wisdom with her TEDx talk, ā€œPermission to Grieve,ā€ shaped by the sudden loss of her mother at 13. When sheā€™s not sharing her story and listening to others share theirs, Caron is enjoying music, reading, tossing a frisbee, or wandering the woods. She is fueled by family, friends, curiosity, and a passion for inspiring others to navigate the unexpected.

Caron's Notes from the Sidelines:

  1. Grief is so much more than feeling sad over death.
  2. Shame is a huge part of any addiction.
  3. Addiction doesn't know which emotion it is squelching. It could just as easily dull joy as it does pain.
  4. Make changes for yourself, not for anyone else.
  5. Stories come from experiences. We believe them because they're all we know. Stories create survival mechanisms. But we don't need the stories or the survival mechanisms when we're not living in the trauma anymore.
  6. Advocate for yourself with respect to health. Our time is just as valuable as a doctor's.
  7. Kindness. Do it and receive it.
  8. To deal with big and hard emotions: journal, rely on friends, feel them, and breathe.
  9. Everyone is worthy and makes a difference.
  10. Learn self-trust; practice it in small doses so you can know what it looks and feels like.
  11. There is a difference between secrecy and privacy. We're allowed to be private and we're only as sick as our secrets. Don't keep secrets, and know that you don't have to tell them to everyone.
