When our keynote speaker, 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀, took the stage with The Lens of Resilience: Capturing Healing, Joy, and Power, he brought us back to what truly sustains us:
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀.
𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀.
In this clip, Thaddeus asks a question that cuts straight to the truth:
“𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?”
Together, the room answered with one voice:
“𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼.”
Then came a full-circle moment —
𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮, founder of ITYouth.ORG, shared how Thaddeus mentored him 18 years ago as a young man. Their exchange reminded us that healing is generational… and impact echoes far beyond the moment.
Thaddeus closed this segment with a powerful embodied practice — a full “𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁” — releasing tension, opening space, and grounding us back into our bodies.
