In this YouTube short, Dr. Tabatha Barber shares a personal reflection on the ego and its influence on life choices. She mentions an upcoming TED Talk in Italy where she will discuss the ego, recounts a meditation memory from when she was about six years old that first revealed her ego, and explains how the ego drives a relentless pursuit of achievement that can feel unsatisfying. Barber contrasts ego‑driven success with soul‑led fulfillment, noting that when actions feel hollow, it signals the ego is in control rather than the deeper self.

I love how you said let the ego die. I'm giving a TED Talk in Italy next month. Let's go. And I'm talking about the ego. And the ego shows up in our life. It's usually mine. I was doing some meditation and mine showed up around 6 years old. And I remember the moment that it happened and something happened in my life and I was like, I am never going to feel this way again. So we are going to prove ourselves. Yeah, we are going to be better. We are going to achieve, achieve, achieve. And when the ego's living your life and you're showing up in that way, yes, you will achieve a lot and you can have some great success, but you'll have moments where you're like, wait a minute, this doesn't feel how I thought it would feel. And that's when you know that your ego's leading and not your soul. Right? Because it's not actually satisfying.
