Drawing from her own kitchen flops and the image of a toddler’s first wobbly steps, she argues that courage isn’t the absence of fear but the decision to move while still afraid.

I hope to become good friends with everyone! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
