Prioritizing self-care in an increasingly busy world
Join us for a powerful TEDxOmaha Salon on Thursday, July 17, 2025 at 6 p.m. at KANEKO with Janelle Hill as we dive into the critical conversation around prioritizing self-care in an increasingly busy world. Building on the momentum of her compelling 2024 TEDxOmaha main event talk where she courageously explored reclaiming boundaries and breaking the silence around sexual abuse in sports, Janelle now turns her focus to the daily decisions we face about honoring our own needs. In this intimate, discussion-based salon, we’ll explore the tension between productivity and personal well-being, the importance of rest, and how setting boundaries is not just an act of resistance but one of self-respect. Whether you’re seeking community, clarity, or courage, this is a space to reflect, connect, and grow.

About TEDxOmaha
TEDxOmaha is an independently organized TEDx event. As a part of the global TED community, we connect locally to explore the ideas and situations that affect our cultures, environments, and minds. Most people are introduced to this remarkable collection of human experiences through recorded TED Talks. Through technology, we can hear stories of discovery, heartache, joy, introspection, and imagination from some of the world’s most amazing people. By creating events in Omaha, we produce an experience based on TED’s principles.
Who attends TEDxOmaha? Five hundred of our community’s most curious, forward-thinking people. Activists, artists, philanthropists, modern-day philosophers, policymakers, stay-at-home parents, and more. You, too, can gather with amazing people from our region who share their insights and accomplishments. It helps us witness what is happening – and what is possible – so we can be inspired to take bigger steps together. TEDxOmaha is held annually in October and offers monthly TEDxOmahaSalon events at The KANEKO.
