In this TEDx talk, Lucía dives deep into the importance of rest and how it’s crucial for our overall well-being. As students, we’re often overwhelmed by endless assignments, tight deadlines, and the constant pressure to do more. In the hustle to keep up with everything, we tend to forget about the one thing that can help us do it all better: rest. But rest isn’t just about sleep, it’s about giving your mind, body, and spirit the time and space to recharge. Whether it’s mental rest to clear your thoughts, emotional rest to let go of stress, or even spiritual rest to reconnect with your deeper sense of purpose, each type of rest plays a vital role in keeping us balanced and focused. Because at the end of the day, rest is a skill that we need to learn to develop and practice.#Rest #SelfCare #MentalHealth #Balance #Recharge #Mindfulness #Happiness #WellBeing #BurnoutPrevention Meet Lucía Infantes Garay!

In this moving and reflective TEDx talk, Indian-Nepali writer and poet Ankita Shah opens up about the quiet, often overlooked moments of girlhood—grief, tenderness, and growth. Through her poetic storytelling, she explores the idea of oversharing—something that’s often criticized, but for many women, feels like a lifeline. Women have been conditioned to believe that being “too much” — too emotional, too loud, too vulnerable — is something to tone down. But what if that “too much” is exactly what makes us human? Ankita shares how women are fluent in TMI not just because they’ve been told to stay small, but also because they trust that other women, with shared emotional intelligence, might just understand them best. With raw honesty and lyrical insight, Ankita reclaims the act of oversharing as a form of connection and resistance — a way to heal, to be seen, and to remind others they’re not alone. Her work has been featured in Anomaly, Soup Magazine, and Firstpost. As the co-founder of The Poetry Club (Mumbai, 2013–2019) and a curator at G5A Foundation, she’s built spaces where stories matter and vulnerability thrives. Ankita Shah is an Indian-Nepali writer whose poetry and essays delve into the intricate tapestry of human existence.
