Why surrendering is the opposite of giving up | Viviana Lucarini | TEDxRoma

How does one move forward with both strength and integrity after losing all four limbs? Viviana Lucarini has been exploring the concept of surrender, revealing that it demands more than just courage. Sharing her harrowing story of survival and complete transformation after undergoing a quadruple amputation at the age of 53, Viviana inspires audiences with her ongoing journey from sepsis survivor to trailblazer and public speaker. Her relentless passion to live fearlessly and move forward—one step at a time—serves as a powerful example of resilience and encourages us to embrace core aspects of oneself as foundations for gratitude and wonder. “These new “limitations” are helping master the art of letting go of the unnecessary and to be fully present in every moment, allowing me to sit in a deeper and mindful part of myself, and to observe life from that perspective,” she says. Viviana Lucarini è Strategic Solution Mentor, Quantum Connection Leader, HD Guide, Death Doula, Grieve to Transform Guide e STAND Ambassador. Sopravvissuta alla sepsi e con quattro arti amputati, vive la vita alle sue condizioni con uno spirito fiero e resiliente.
Grazie a una profonda connessione interiore, naviga nell’equilibrio tra coraggio e paura, superando i propri limiti e ispirando gli altri a fare lo stesso.
Viviana si dedica con passione ad aiutare gli altri a trasformare le sfide in opportunità di crescita e forza. Attualmente è impegnata nella stesura di un libro che racconta il suo straordinario viaggio e si occupa anche dello sviluppo di protesi per braccia che siano pratiche e accessibili.
