Thank you, Alisha. deeply appreciate you speaking on this. Having a village of family around me was key. I am blessed with twins now and they are 31 years old.
THANK YOU for shedding light on the pain behind infertility, for raising awareness for couples struggling, helping to destigmatize the condition and for educating people on how to provide support. Our society needs this!
I am so proud of you for using your voice to shed light on something that touches so many lives but is rarely discussed so openly. It’s takes a special kind of bravery to turn personal experience into a platform for change and you did that
Great job on discussing a complex subject such as is within a limited 10 min window. I hope your words reach many who need to hear this and understand the importance that a supportive “village” plays within this space.
Such a powerful and important TEDx talk on infertility, miscarriage, and embryo adoption. Your honesty and bravery in sharing your story will undoubtedly offer hope and support to so many others walking a similar path. Thank you for shining a light on these deeply personal experiences and for advocating for understanding and empathy. Your words truly resonate and inspire.
A TEDx talk worth listening to! Thank you for taking on such an enormous topic in such a beautiful way. I hope your message reaches everyone who needs to hear it.
Wow, exceptionally delivered with real food for thought! Infertility and miscarriages are not really spoken about. I know three friends going through it but treatment is definitely a privilege that many can’t afford. I am sure many women and men going through this would appreciate her vulnerability but she is also dripping in privilege with her Valentino shoes, Alexandra McQueen dress, and rocks on her hands, she can afford the hefty price tag $$$ associated with infertility treatments. Nevertheless good for her.
Alisha🪷 I listened to the talk, it was great👌🏽 You delivered it so well, nice inflections and movement👍🏽 The story and emotion you conveyed, will resonate with women the world over, something we all need to hear. I definitely felt better hearing it and absorbing what I identify with. It felt as though you were speaking to me at times and that struck a chord, a chord I didn't think I'd pick at again. Thank you Alisha, this was a very educational and emotional talk❤
I enjoyed seeing how passionate you were towards your human condition And expressing your nature and your ability to nurture But what about those families stripped from progressing their ability to nurture their own loved ones You see the importance of birth families and the importance of nature Nurturing nature is a natural mother and should be encouraged with that comes with compassion and unconditional love Not to those those who are skeptical and judgmental and narcissistic SS
Having lived in the 70's and 80's there was hardly any women that had these kind of issues. Getting pregnant was actually what women had a hard time avoiding. Now it's the other way around, 1 in 4 women have trouble getting pregnant in the US and 2 out of 3 males are infertile, so something happened around the 90's to cause and explosion of this and the only thing I can think of is that the amount of chemicals in the environment went up significantly, due to farming practices and the chemicals in our consumer goods.
When I’m out shopping the majority of products say they cause cancer and reproduction harm… so yeah not surprising at all, the fact it’s still allowed is what’s surprising 😢😮
Especially with my daughter who is now 10. From buying markers ( even fancy expensive artist markers ) to flashlights 🔦 to projector type lights for her room etc soo many things for kids or their room says cancer and reproductive harm to the point where I hate shopping bc I can’t bring myself to purchase anything with that label, no matter how much my daughter or myself loved it. 🤨😑🧐😢🥹😭
@@homosapienssapiens4848Yes. Especially when it's hard to make ends meet and the price of food has gone up significantly therefore forcing you to buy cheaper processed foods. Even if you want to make a garden your HOA most likely will be giving a warning or fine to stop.
Infertility is a Journey that you need support. The time when your periods comes, 😭😭😭😭, you know it means nothing. You read weekly about babies found on waste bins
People who never manage to get pregnant at all, even once, also experience the loss of everything you mention at 8.40 onwards. You really missed an opportunity here to acknowledge the great many people who don’t get their miracle pregnancy at all and face permanent unwanted childlessness. Most IVF fails. This “never give up” attitude traps potential parents in a long cycle of trying and failing and all the financial and emotional pain that involves, if they even have the privilege to be able to do that.
Motherhood is not just a privilege and should not be just for the privileged Personal development, personal growth as a living being Families of different abilities should not be subjected to scrutiny persecution judgment because every family has a unique way of bringing up their family and should be guided and supported to be all that they can be to support mother‘s nature plan to support each and every living being of All levels of intelligence and abilities Never subjecting anyone to isolation division, but using human compassion as the main focus in all forms of life and towards how each other lives their lives I would like to ask you how do you feel about families that are stripped from there children By the ignorance and self indulgent social services
She looks like she comes from a privileged background but I did my research on her online and I read that she is from South Africa on her webpage and things are bad in that country. Treatment for infertility is very expensive and not everyone can afford it. She has a family now, her instagram page has a little boy in it.
My advice is to search in the holy books, the Quran, or search on social media sites such as: Why was a human born? Why did a human die? Why do we exist? You will find all the answers with every Muslim.
But if a person is kind-hearted, he may face some difficulties, which is a test from God when he succeeds in a test or is patient with some problems that he may face in this world. If this person is patient or endures, his life will change for the better, and when he dies, he will be…
What about those that have to work hard to be 🧚🏻♀️Mum And what about those that have to work hard to be a dad What about those that have to work hard to be a grandparent Families that have autism families that have a genetical defect families that have a disability
may be that slow way of talking...and sometimes the pauses ..it felt overacting...I know it's not an acting but.... although this way may be more suited for reaching more hearts
@@souravghosh3913 I feel it's extremely important to empathize with others when they give us a glimpse into their personal journey with traumatic events, and personally I don't think they should be subject to criticism for showing emotion while working through those experiences. This is very clearly a topic that is extremely painful for the speaker, and I think the level of bravery it takes to go in front of so many strangers and share that vulnerability is nothing short of commendable.

Being a mother is a blessing and a privilege 100%
A TEDx talk worth listening to! Thank you for taking on such an enormous topic in such a beautiful way. I hope your message reaches everyone who needs to hear it.
This is one of the better TED Talks.
Thank you for your candour on this topic! There's a stigma associated with infertility and it leaves some women feeling inadequate.
This resonated with me so profoundly. Thank you for shedding light on a journey that can be so very dark and isolating. ❤
Omg thank you. PLEASE PEOPLE if you take one thing away from this, DONT ASK INTRUSIVE QUESTIONS. JUST DONT.

So powerful!!

Are you obliged to eat processed items?

Interesting
Gosh, She's beautiful
What's her ig 😅
The topic and the speech are great but I would've liked a less dramatic narrative. No offense.
No offence intended, I'm curious why you feel that way.
Please don't take this wrong way but I'm curious to know what makes you think that the talk was dramatic.
may be that slow way of talking...and sometimes the pauses ..it felt overacting...I know it's not an acting but.... although this way may be more suited for reaching more hearts
Where’s your Ted talk? Perhaps a little jealous? She had me gripped from her very first sentence.
