your body is not a deadline | Dr. Sruthi Abhishant | TEDxRathinam Technical Campus

A TEDxRathinam Technical Campus talk by gynaecologist and fertility specialist Dr. Sruthi Abhishant examines how social expectations about when women should study, succeed, marry and become mothers shape their sense of success and self-worth. Drawing on women's health and fertility, the talk questions the idea that life must follow a fixed timeline. It argues that a different pace does not mean falling behind.

• Social expectations about timing in women's lives
• Comparison and its effect on self-worth
• Women's health and fertility as a lens
• Why each woman's life path is unique

In a world that constantly tells women when they should study, succeed, marry, and become mothers, it is easy to feel that we are falling behind. Through the lens of women’s health and fertility, this talk explores how social expectations and comparisons shape our perception of success and self-worth. It challenges the idea that life must follow a fixed timeline and reminds us that every woman’s journey is unique. Because being different in timing does not mean being behind in life.
