Why I Smile at Pain: Christina Danyluk at TEDxVailWomen

For over 27 years, Christina has been tripping and dancing with medical adversity. She feels we have all been given the same diagnosis. She speaks about her new normal. She believes that wellbeing is independent of circumstances. In a world chock-full of hypnotizing busy-ness, she urges us to choose to live fully awake, being our natural unique best selves.

"A life-threatening condition is not an obstacle - it is the path to freedom, showing us how to live naturally awake." -Christina

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
