I said, “Remember when we’d leave a really bad message on our ex-boyfriend’s answering machine? Then we’d have to break into his dorm room and then erase the tape?” I said, “Do you remember when we were in college, really wild and kind of dumb?” And we’re going to be talking about 600, 700 people.”Īnd she said, “Well, I think it’s too late.” YouTube, they’re putting this thing on YouTube. But it was great.”Īnd I said, “This can’t happen. It was a little different than what you usually do. I had a slide that said ‘Breakdown.’ At what point did I think that was a good idea?”Īnd she said, “I saw your talk live-streamed. And that when being vulnerable emerged from my data, as absolutely essential to whole-hearted living, I told these 500 people that I had a breakdown. I feel really - I’m not functioning.”Īnd I said, “I just told 500 people that I became a researcher to avoid vulnerability. I sat down, and she said, “God, you look like hell.”
And when I walked in, she was already at the table. The first time I left was to meet a friend for lunch. And I actually didn’t leave my house for about three days. I woke up the morning after I gave that talk with the worst vulnerability hangover of my life. I’m going to tell you a little bit about my TEDxHouston Talk.
