In our darkest moments, when everything looks lost and we’ve lost all hope, we so often find the true meaning in our suffering; meaning which, once we find the courage to speak up about it, eases our suffering and charts a course to new and beautiful destinations filled with freedom, lightness, and opportunity.

During this immersive and highly emotional TEDx talk, Dan Keeley shares his incredible personal story of adversity and recovery. He highlights the power of speaking up when we’re in our darkest moments; how to move from feeling exhausted and burden on everyone around us, to feeling lighter and empowered and with a wider support network around us whilst also empowering others to speak up about their own pain and adversity.

Dan Keeley is an award-winning mental-health speaker and social activist who ran 1250-miles, solo and self-supported, from Rome to London to share his powerful story of adversity on an international scale and empower thousands of others around the world to speak up when we’re suffering.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized
