I've Applied to 71 TEDx Talks. Here's What They Don't Tell You.

I've submitted 71 TEDx applications in the last year. 50 last year. 21 this year. Five rejections so far this round. And today I made it to round two for TEDxKew near Melbourne, Australia. In this video I share everything they don't tell you about the TEDx application journey: how long it actually takes, what the applications really look like, what the average number of applications is before you get chosen, and why the message matters more than the stage.

Through reflections informed by spiritual psychology, I share insights on emotional responsibility, self-leadership, relational intelligence, and the deeper patterns that shape how we think, choose, and live. Some videos explore the personal side of growth. Others widen the lens to examine culture, leadership, and the human experience more broadly. My work sits at the intersection of spiritual psychology, human development, and lived experience. If you're interested in developing greater awareness, sovereignty, and clarity in your life, you're in the right place.
