Filmed at TEDxOldHickory, this talk shares Reggie’s powerful journey from perfectionism and performance to purpose and peace.
What if the secret to fulfillment isn’t self-improvement, but self-love? In his TEDx Talk, “You Are Enough,” Reggie D. Ford invites high achievers, corporate leaders, and everyday humans to reconsider the belief that their value is tied to their accomplishments. Through his deeply personal story—from childhood trauma and perfectionism to healing and emotional liberation—Reggie uncovers the toxic toll of hustle culture and offers a radical shift: Vulnerability is not a weakness. It is a strength.
Backed by psychological research and rooted in real-life transformation, Reggie’s talk calls on each of us to listen to our inner child, nurture our wounds, and write a new story—one fueled by compassion, courage, and authenticity.
