Baya's business journey started as a cast member on MTV's The Real World where her interest in relationships was nurtured. She transformed her TV exposure into an entrepreneurial adventure, learning early on how the power of one strong connection can transform your life and career. Her inherent belief that the quality of your relationships equals the quality of your life and that your network is your net worth, led her to her interest in connection, community, and relationships. For the past decade she has studied connection in three pillars: connection with yourself, your partner, and your community. She is a Dating and Relationship Coach, founder of Secret SLC, co-founder of Womenpreneurs and hosts a monthly segment on ABC as Utah's Relationship Specialist. Baya is a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, studies Emotional Intelligence, Positive Psychology, and Body Language, and mentors under intimacy and relationship experts.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Anyone who is genuinely lonely doesn't go to Europe with their friends. Genuinely lonely people go to bed and hope tomorrow will be better.

This lady doesn’t know what she is talking bout, loneliness is when you can’t connect to anyone but feel the strong desire to have some emotional support, loneliness is when you don’t have friends or family, loneliness is when even if you have friends, you feel left out and betrayed staying with them. Loneliness is missing human interaction to the point where you feel something is wrong with you, loneliness is when your self worth is measured by how important are you to others, Loneliness is the suffocating feeling of drowning in your emotions, hoping for someone to save you but knowing that no one will!

"Feeling lonely? Just go to Paris with your friends!" This woman is clueless about the topic she's presenting on and is infuriatingly oblivious to how her privilege has scrambled her brain cells.
-
Hot Take: This is actually a Ted Talk about how to troll the lonely.
-
She was lonely for 10 minutes and thinks she knows it all...i came here depressed, now im depressed and pissed off...
-
She clearly has no idea what loneliness feels like
-
It's like when you tell someone about your country where millions of people suffer from hunger and they respond "Oh yes, I know what you're talking about. I also experienced hunger, I forgot to bring my lunch to work the other day and I was starving"
-
I finally understand what people mean when they talk about privilage. Like, she may have her issues in life, but it ain't loneliness.
-
"Lonely? Easy, get Friends." This is like saying "don't be sad, be happy" to a depressed person.
-
She reminds me of all of the disappointing therapists I have encounter throughout my life.
-
It’s easy to talk about a cure for loneliness when you have friends
-
this isn't a ted talk this is her talking about her amazing life like the amount of privilege coming from this video is tremendous
-
I mean she has a partner, bunch of friends, travelling here and there, eating in Paris and taking about loneliness. is this some kind of joke going here??
-
This video is like a fish teaching me how to climb a tree
-
She really said “how to overcome loneliness?? Talk to your significant other at night”
-
This has the energy of "how can you be homeless, just buy a house"
