What if the root cause of burnout isn’t being overworked, underpaid, or hating your job but unresolved trauma? If we don’t explore the relationship between burnout and unresolved trauma we run the risk of losing a generation of cultural creatives and missing the opportunity to find elegant solutions to the challenges facing humanity today. Karen Curry Parker is a best-selling author of multiple books. She has been speaking, coaching, training, and podcasting about high performance living for almost 30 years, touching close to 100,000 lives around the world. Her core mission is to help people live the life they were designed to live by discovering who they are, what they are here to do, and how to activate their potential and authentic life path. Karen's work has been featured on Fox News, Bloomberg Businessweek, CBS, ABC, and various radio shows and telesummits. 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
