The Girl Who Fell From The Sky | Emma Carey | TEDxCurrumbin

Emma guides the audience back to experience the moment when a parachute malfunction left her facing imminent death. Somehow she survived to share her story of resilience after a spinal cord injury, encouraging others to reflect on what truly matters in life and seize opportunities without waiting for a life-altering event to prompt change. Emma Carey, a multifaceted writer, artist, and entrepreneur, underwent a life-altering experience during her global travels when a skydiving accident left her paralyzed. Against all odds, she defied her prognosis by learning to walk again, emerging as an inspirational speaker and renowned author of "The Girl Who Fell From The Sky." Emma shares her transformative journey, inspiring others to overcome obstacles. Now, she eagerly embraces the next chapter, reigniting her passion for travel and adventure, proving that resilience and determination can lead to a vibrant life beyond adversity. 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

Amazing talk! Also have just read the book, which was very inspiring... the little things that meant a lot, the close friendships & how she loves people, her mums devotion (I'm her mums age) the way she loves her grandparents & how she spoke of her sisters & Jemma .. these things really resonated for me. The way she sees the world which I think is her main message... is very wise & and gift to have. It took me a long time to see the world like this, without any serious accidents I so relate and am reinforced by her story about what really matters in life. Living by the sea, being authentic & cherishing the things we love while acknowledging that life is far from perfect at times. I'm a nurse & also see that side in others as well. Thank you Emma for your voice & story. I wish you a long long life filled with more joy & beauty. And give your mum a hug from me.. she sounds like my kinda person

Woa - „if you can you must“ ❤

[@mbf938]

I love this. I’m reading your book at the moment and I am also a walking paraplegic. It’s so true that it’s luck as to whether you get to walk again and nothing to do with grit or hard work. Sure am grateful for what my body can do now in a way I wasn’t before. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@emilylogan5769]

Tears were flowing! If you can you must… this quote that I saw on your instagram over a year ago helped me launch my business and I’m forever grateful. Sending loving energy to you from around the world ❤😂

[@elodienapoleon]

[@sunshinecity8351]

‘If you can, you must’ - a great reminder. Similar to what I got taught at school many moons ago… ‘Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today’. That’s stuck with me throughout my life. Thank you for the reminder, and for your powerful talk.

[@tweb2295]

"You don't have to wait til you nearly die to start living"..! Now that is quite intense...!
