The Power of Starting Over | Megan Militello | TEDxAnchorage

[@LaidbackAF]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story. After 13 years of drug abuse and addiction, I want to change and will do everything in my power to overcome intrusive thoughts and habitual habits. God bless everyone who has walked through darkness.

[@alexandrosteck8015]

Thank you for this TED!! 1. Be accountable!! 2. There's always an option!!

[@beneshiaplaatjies4036]

"And those red flags felt like home..." I can relate. Beautiful story

[@michaelkaylor6770]

Such a great story of reflection, growth, and drive!

[@mimansayyy]

notes : - putting an end to habitual thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness - observe thoughts and consciously make an effort to change them - become accountable for your actions and choices - reading & journaling - make a deeper connection with food - have determination to work your way out of the darkness - keep going, it willl become easier - devote yourself to personal development - limiting ideas and believes - loosing everything let's one have a completely different outlook - put action (personally and professionally) towards being the woman that you have envisioned - change the narrative, put yourself first - practice healthy boundaries - RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF - be compassionate with yourself and let go because you don't know what you don't know

Kudos to You for standing up and making sense of what life means to you and not other people. :)-

[@cranklesnacks]

Sometimes I wonder about this ME culture (myself included). I have a neighbor who just had a stroke in his 50s, and his wife dumped him. Maybe she’s living her best life now too. But, neighbor’s life is now a solitary daily struggle.

[@doc_ofalltrades2444]

Yes I tuned out when she said she left her husband. Not my kinda person and not the vibe I seek in a TedTalk

[@businessgoose6057]

Ok so .... a person who's family had enough start-up capital to just 'start a business " is supposed to be a lesson to EVERYONE ELSE struggling with no money to our name? Waste of time.

[@KingBobaFett434]

If I had chance to start my life over again I would definitely make sure I would do it right and undo the mistakes I made.

[@tyrannosaurusburke]

I think this is the first account I've heard about someone moving from Hawaii to Alaska, and thriving in the latter state.

[@plainjaneofalltrades3853]

So I wasted my lunch break on “HER” story as opposed to a lesson that teaches and helps with starting over. I’m disappointed, but I’m happy she’s happier and healthier.

[@sirjoeplay]

8 minutes later... I feel exactly the same

[@Bethune_Groundstaff]

What did you eat?

[@binkskyler02]

That’s why I always watched in x2 speed

[@Ithabeleng_Kopo]

It was worth it, or maybe I can relate

[@PajeroJanice]

Thanks for saving me the trouble

[@plainjaneofalltrades3853]

Hello. The title is “the power of,” but this is actually her life story. I have 3 minutes left, so I’m gonna wait for the life lesson that helps “everyone.”

[@wyldkardenterprisesllc5456]

This is an awesome and inspiring story.

[@wootwootwoot32]

I like her message of starting over. I don’t care if she has or doesn’t have tattoos on her arm or how she looks. I don’t care what any of the other comments say. If you don’t like the experience you don’t need to listen 👂 😅😅😂

[@UAhm1]

thank you!

[@Seven.And.The.RaggedTiger]

Thank you for your service 🙏 for us

[@daLaxplaya17]

This is why u focus on yourselves kings, left her man who was down bad for the guy with money at her job lol

[@TravieSpots]

This was a terrible story. She bounced from man to man, based on her current wants. She's been able to live in Hawaii, get her master's degree and admits that she relied on these men financially. This video was not helpful unless it's to manipulate men to get you your optimal life.

[@wootwootwoot32]

Maybe you got hurt yourself and are projecting? I don’t see where she said she financially took advantage of men?

[@6Sisu9]

Don't know myself. But I'll get married....then divorced. Again, I don't know myself But I'll remarrie... then just leave.

[@eliudnjai]

😂 I was about to say the second guy got used and then got left behind when he needed her 😢

[@renny404]

Can’t get any real speakers to show up anymore to ted conferences can you

[@iloveyellow7214]

😘 hugs TedTalk thank you I really needed this🥰

[@thinkforyourself101]

Wow | Amazing and thank you

[@rafaelbrancewicz4614]

On one hand, good for the strength and not turning back. On the other hand, this « ALL ABOUT ME AND MYSELF » times are killing humans as social beings. Already today, a higher percentage of women and men are depressed. They’ve been married a couple of times, have kids with different partners, but are lonely. She says she tried. But, do we have, today, the tools to succeed in trying ? Or is the selfish behaviour already deeply ingrained in us and we just can no longer commit and accept compromises ?

[@muddydog6605]

Oh I'm done with this, I'm a woman looking for videos on starting over, not how to use and step on people. I'm getting away from a narcissist, certainly not going to watch another one giving out tips. Best of luck everyone out there x

[@mightyobserver12]

Why people didnt leave

[@mightyobserver12]

U had a great life.

[@accordingtobrittt]

Starting over is so hard!

[@mightyobserver12]

Left her sick husBAND

[@akaboo69]

I want to leave TX. I'm bored out here

[@KyVisuals]

The whole world is boring tbh

[@plainjaneofalltrades3853]

Her ONLY encouraging words were at the very end. You don’t know what you don’t know until you try. Smh… I will not rate this video. Have a great day.

[@Finsxlens]

This was one of the worst talks I’ve listened to so far, I got no lesson and a life story

[@bestself2438]

This isn’t sharing informed trauma…this is “look at me”! Probably why she’s been with so many dudes. That tracks.

[@Sunset_sunrise-h6c]

So you left your husband when he got sick instead of trying to help him. I dont think you have learnt anything from life. All you do is run around from one thing to the next.

[@innawewe]

I didn't find this useful

[@Justsay-in]

😂😂😂 are you a robot…

[@JardineKarate1]

Narcissism 101. Not to be celebrated.

[@hugginssemwayo6920]

How much did she got on divorces. Just imaging getting half of everything from 2 man

[@AWayOfLiving84]

👣🌏🕵🏻‍♂️☯️📜

[@nevercatnorcradle]

wow unreliable haha

[@КристинаСоколова-ь9т]

The befitting twig simultaneously doubt because competitor microbiologically offend minus a abusive factory. vivacious, luxuriant tailor

[@ian2372]

Sleeve tats on a woman discredits anything she has to say further.

[@wootwootwoot32]

I like the arms and tats but it looks like she can punch you in the face quite hard!
