The unplanned yes | Dr. Michelle Chambers-Rollins | TEDxRaleigh

Stop waiting to feel ready. Discover how facing anxiety, fear, avoidance, and uncertainty creates the evidence that builds confidence, courage, resilience, and encourages personal growth, one unplanned yes at a time. Dr. Michelle Chambers-Rollins is a trauma-informed mental health clinician and professor at UNC–Chapel Hill whose work examines how anxiety quietly governs the choices we make. Drawing on civic training, public systems work, and her book Faith to Win, she challenges people to reclaim agency and move forward even when certainty is unavailable. 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
