Danser sous la pluie, embrasser la résilience. | Sharone Francken | TEDxSaintDenisWomen
Et si nos épreuves étaient des miroirs, révélant à la fois nos blessures et notre force intérieure ? Sharone FRANCKEN nous invite à repenser la résilience comme un art de vivre : apprendre à accueillir la pluie, pour mieux danser avec elle. Son parcours témoigne qu’il est toujours possible de se reconstruire, loin des clichés et des attentes imposées, en cultivant la gratitude, la méditation et la simplicité. À travers son regard de maman, elle nous rappelle que l’essentiel se cache souvent dans l’instant présent, dans les mains tendues et les joies toutes simples. Son talk est une ode à l’espoir et à la transformation, une invitation à embrasser nos vulnérabilités pour en faire des forces. Je suis Sharone, née d’un métissage belge et mauricien, j’ai grandi avec une vision du monde teintée de diversité. Très tôt, j’ai compris que l’identité se construit à travers les rencontres et les contrastes. Devenue diététicienne, j’ai vite réalisé que l’alimentation est bien plus qu’une question de nutrition. Certains chapitres ne se choisissent pas. Les cycles relationnels destructeurs que j’ai vécus m’ont poussée à me réinventer. Cette épreuve m’a appris que nos relations sont un miroir, révélant à la fois nos blessures et notre force intérieure. Convaincue que la connaissance de soi est la clé de la résilience, j’invite à explorer le pouvoir de l’introspection pour dépasser les blessures et écrire de nouveaux chapitres, plus libres et plus alignés.

- 13:07Confessions of a recovering perfectionist | Scottie Thompson | TEDxPacific AvenueIn this deeply personal and provocative talk, actress, director and activist Scottie Thompson explores the hidden cost of perfectionism, particularly for women.The pressure to perform perfectly often silences our true selves in today’s filtered, social media–driven world. Drawing from her own journey as a ballerina, Harvard graduate and actress, Scottie reveals how chasing flawlessness became a barrier to authentic expression, creativity, and connection.Grounded in Indigenous wisdom and the profound power of stillness, she offers a path back to the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to shame and dismiss. Through the lens of Kintsugi – the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold – Scottie invites us to see our breakage not as weakness, but rather as the source of our unique beauty, strength and identity. She poses that in embracing radical self-acceptance over polished perfectionism, we discover a more ‘perfectly’ whole self. Scottie Thompson is an actress, activist, writer and director. She danced professionally with The Richmond Ballet before obtaining a bachelor’s in Postcolonial Performance Studies from Harvard University. She followed her passion for storytelling into a career in film, TV and theater. Her directorial debut Sienna and the Sit premiered at the Oscar-qualifying festival Hollyshorts in 2025.She has recurred in series including Bel Air, 12 Monkeys, NCIS, The Blacklist, and MacGyver, among others. Film credits include Crown Vic, Skyline, Star Trek and most recently Hellfire, opposite Harvey Keitel and Stephen Lang. She produced and starred opposite Gabriel Byrne and Thomas Jane in the #1 ranking Netflix film Murder at Yellowstone City.She is involved in environmental activism and is an Ambassador for Amazon Watch, a nonprofit protecting Indigenous communities in the Amazon Basin.
