In her talk, “Up High & Down Low: The Seesaw of Perspective,” Zeana will explore the challenges of balancing life’s extremes, sharing insights from her own experiences on navigating highs and lows while discovering growth in the process. She will reflect on how, as children, we experience the carefree seesaw of life, but as we grow older, we encounter the life's seesaw of perspective, filled with extreme highs and lows, each accompanied by its own set of conflicts.
