Using strength, hope, overcoming obstacles, encouragement, and success to find the joy in life after trauma. A traumatic loss doesn't have to be the end of your living. Becoming cognitively flexible can save your life and others too. Dr. Chantrise Sims Holliman is a writer, speaker, educator, heart attack survivor, bilateral amputee, wife, mother, sister, and friend. Raised in Newton, Massachusetts Dr. Holliman is the only child of two former educators who instilled in her a love of learning and the tenacity to see things through no matter the challenge. Through her fight with Lupus and struggles with becoming an amputee, Dr. Holliman inspires us to keep moving despite the obstacles we face. She turns tragedy into triumph, impacts the world, and shows us excuses only benefit those who make them. Her motto is: Walk in Your Purpose Whether You Have Legs or Not. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
