- 15:56Révolution cyclique : briser les tabous, améliorer l'avenir | Sabrina Caminade | TEDxSaintDenisWomenOn a longtemps appris aux femmes à taire leur cycle, à le vivre comme un poids ou un frein. Pourtant, derrière ce tabou se cache une ressource inestimable. Pour Sabrina CAMINADE, le cycle menstruel est une boussole : il influence notre énergie, nos émotions, nos décisions et même nos relations. En renouant avec cette cyclicité, nous pouvons éviter l’épuisement, mieux nous organiser, créer différemment et habiter nos vies avec plus de sérénité. Son talk est une invitation à briser le silence, à réhabiliter ce savoir oublié et à construire un avenir plus équilibré, où la cyclicité n’est plus une faiblesse mais une force collective. Je m’appelle Sabrina Caminade, endopreneuse, masseuse et éducatrice menstruelle en devenir. J’ai créé Marga, un espace dédié au bien-être des femmes, avec une approche qui aide à trouver un équilibre dans sa cyclicité. Marga est un reflet de mon parcours : un chemin vers soi, vers la connaissance de son corps, et l’épanouissement personnel. Diagnostiquée tardivement d’endométriose, j’ai appris à mieux comprendre mon cycle pour gérer mon énergie, réduire le stress et améliorer ma productivité. Aujourd’hui, j’accompagne les femmes à utiliser leur cyclicité comme un outil de gestion du temps et de bien-être pour éviter l’épuisement et retrouver une organisation fluide. Parce qu’en écoutant son cycle, on peut vivre mieux, travailler mieux, créer mieux et développer une confiance solide en soi et en son corps.

- 13:24La maternité, berceau de la transformation | Alexandra POTA | TEDxSaintDenisWomenOn présente souvent la maternité comme la plus belle des aventures. Mais pour Alexandra POTA, elle a d’abord été une tempête, balayant ses repères et ses certitudes. Dans ce chaos, elle a découvert une force nouvelle, une créativité insoupçonnée, et surtout une question essentielle : « Qui suis-je, au-delà des rôles qu’on m’a donnés ? ». À travers son talk, elle partage ce voyage de transformation, entre doutes, culpabilités et renaissances, pour rappeler que devenir mère, ce n’est pas s’effacer, mais se réinventer. Son récit est une célébration des chapitres bouleversants qui façonnent nos vies et une invitation à accueillir nos imperfections comme des trésors de puissance. Je m'appelle Alexandra Pota, j'ai 28 ans, je suis née et j'ai grandi à La Réunion, j’ai quitté l’île à 17 ans pour poursuivre mes études en graphisme et communication. Après plusieurs années en métropole, je suis revenue, pensant retrouver mes repères. Mais repartir de zéro dans son propre chez-soi et avec ti baba, c’est un défi que je n’avais pas anticipé.Aujourd’hui, je suis graphiste, formatrice et community manager. J’aide les entreprises locales à raconter leur histoire avec authenticité et impact. J’interviens aussi en école pour transmettre mon savoir, convaincue que la créativité est un levier puissant.Entrepreneure, créatrice de contenu et maman, je jongle entre pixels, stratégie et goûters d’école. Parce que l’équilibre, ce n’est pas tout gérer parfaitement, c’est apprendre à danser entre les imprévus. Et moi, j’adore danser.
