Two TEDx Speakers, One Backstage Moment
Season 3 Episode 69
Why did I press “record” two days before stepping onto the TEDx stage?
Can you actually capture purpose through a podcast mic?
In this special episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I’m inviting you behind the curtain just 48 hours before I share my message on the TEDx stage in Folsom, California.
But here’s the truth.
This episode isn’t about a polished speech. It’s about the messy, beautiful, real journey that brought me here.
And I’m not doing this alone.
My special guest is the radiant J. Ross Parrelli—hip-hop artist, educator, creative economy advocate, and one of the incredible TEDx speakers sharing the stage with me.
We found a cozy little corner to sit down and press record. What unfolded was nothing short of magic.
Here’s what we share:
➡️ What it really feels like to prepare for a TEDx Talk
➡️ J. Ross’s journey from rap battles in Compton to launching arts education programs
➡️ The moment she realized love is her superpower and how she shares it through frequency ➡️ Our real talk on motherhood, creative purpose, and the myth of “perfect timing”
➡️ Why failing forward again and again is actually the point
➡️ This week’s Petite Practice™ to ground yourself before any brave leap
My reminder this week: "You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to keep going."
Listen now before the TEDx videos drop. This one is raw, real, and full of heart.
