Sanar no es una historia de éxito, es un proceso | María Bolio Cuevas | TEDxTecdeMtySanLuisPotosi

We've been led to believe that overcoming depression is an epic, movie-worthy transformation, but the reality is far more complex. Healing isn't always pretty, it's not linear or quick, and it doesn't need to be inspiring to be valid. In this talk, we dismantle the romanticization of recovery and discuss what healing truly means: a process, not a success story. Maria Bolio is a Mexican singer, songwriter, and content creator with an authentic voice on often-avoided topics. Through her music and social media, she has created a safe space where vulnerability becomes strength. From her podcast, "Seis de Copas," to her reflections on social media, she speaks honestly about mental health, depression, and self-love. She shares her experience on the importance of therapy, emotional ups and downs, and the need to normalize asking for help, reminding her community that they are not alone. With her charisma and unfiltered style, she invites us to question, to feel supported, and to embrace who we are. Because talking about what matters breaks taboos and helps build a world where no one has to face their battles in silence. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
