- 14:40How I finally discovered myself in midlife | Supriya Nagpal | TEDxFIIB WomenI wasn’t literally born late, but I discovered my true passions only in midlife. For years, I followed a path shaped by others’ expectations, prioritizing practicality over joy. Growing up in a small town, unconventional paths seemed out of reach. But as life’s routines settled, I found space for reflection, and my long-buried passions resurfaced. Midlife offers a unique perspective, allowing us to understand what truly matters. It’s not too late to embrace our dreams; sometimes, we’re more prepared to pursue them when they find us. Life’s timing, even in midlife, can reveal new opportunities for growth and fulfilment.

- 18:53The art of being invisibly visible | Deepali Wilson | TEDxFIIB WomenThe art of being “invisibly visible.” Is a philosophy which has transformed the way I parent, mentor, and live. It’s especially meaningful as I circle midlife—a phase often seen as a crisis but, in reality, a time full of opportunity. Midlife, for me, is like that tea break during a long road trip. You don’t stop traveling, but you pause to refuel, check the map, and pick the perfect playlist for the journey ahead. It’s not about slowing down but refocusing and rediscovering what truly matters for you in your life.
