Ayana Symone shows us how to release the pain of the past.
Childhood memories, which can be pleasant or painful, often impact our daily lives. As unhealed childhoods produce painful adulthoods, confronting childhood wounds is worth the journey. To experience actual, transformative growth in the future, one must face the pain of the past. In this TEDx talk, you will be shown how a free, fruitful, and abundant life is possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
