A speaker shares her struggle with postpartum OCD and anxiety. After her talk, a CEO publicly admits he cried six weeks earlier, visibly relieved. Her vulnerability gave him permission to show his own.
that where you really need to start is with yourself too. You know, I think I'll never forget this keynote that I gave. And I shared the story that I have of postpartum OCD and anxiety and giving the TEDx talk and gave the 90-minute keynote. And as soon as I was done, the leader, the CEO of this very large organization came up. And in front of the crowd, he admitted that he had cried 6 weeks ago. And I remember looking at him going, Was there more to the story? But that was it. For him, that was a really difficult thing to admit to his colleagues and his peers and you should have just seen the biggest smile on his face.
