Burnout, belonging, and the power of small things | Dr. Ashley Margeson, ND | TEDxArgyle St

Dr. Ashley Margeson explores why wellness isn’t just about doing more—it’s about connection, presence, and the small actions that create lasting change. Drawing from her work as a naturopathic doctor, she shows how burnout isn’t solved by routines, supplements, or workouts alone, but by cultivating relationships, community, and rhythms that sustain us.Through stories, science, and practical insights, she reveals how small, consistent acts of care—like a note, a shared coffee, or a mindful pause—can ripple outward to transform our lives, workplaces, and communities. Dr. Ashley Margeson, ND is a recovering perfectionist who’s redefining what it means to be well in a world that rarely slows down. As a clinician, speaker, and wellness advocate, she bridges the gap between performance and burnout — helping people protect their energy while holding onto what matters most. She hosts The Superwoman Code, is COO of Cornerstone Naturopathic, and has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and The Globe and Mail, making her a trusted voice for high-achievers seeking energy that’s sustainable. Her message is simple: wellness isn’t a finish line. It’s the scaffolding that makes everything else possible. 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
