Reshape your mind, not your body | Bridgette Ugarte | TEDxEdina

Loving the way she looked and loving the way she felt somehow never intersected. If every habit she endured to get the body she thought she wanted made her miserable, what guaranteed she'd ever feel happy and confident in her own skin? If her sense of self worth was built on something as fleeting as her body image, what made her think that a deep sense of self satisfaction could ever catch up? Bridgette is a champion for positive mindset and body empowerment. As a signed curve model across the nation’s largest cities, she uses her social media platforms and podcast “Hey By The Wayy” to inspire others to redefine their self-worth. A trilingual graduate in International Studies and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Bridgette seeks to empower people of all backgrounds to celebrate themselves for more than what meets the eye. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
