TEDx Speaker and Leadership Coach on Building Confidence and Overcoming Fear of Failure ft Dr Veena Babu
This one’s for the ambitious woman who knows she’s capable of more, but sometimes feels fear, self-doubt, or imposter syndrome creeping in just as she’s about to level up. If you’re ready to build real confidence, move with courage, and finally back yourself, this episode is for you ✨
In today’s episode of the Boldly Ambitious podcast, we’re joined by the phenomenal Dr Veena Babu, Medical Doctor, TEDx Speaker, Public Health Expert, Leadership Coach, and founder of SADAH, the UK’s first charity dedicated to saving lives in diabetic patients within the South Asian community!
We get into one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the show about confidence and courage, not as buzzwords, but as skills ambitious women can intentionally build. From being underestimated, to navigating grief, to choosing paths that align with your values, Dr Veena breaks down what it really takes to lead boldly and live intentionally.
Here’s what we dive into:
✨ Why fear is the quiet barrier holding so many ambitious women back
✨ How to build confidence from the inside out, even when you’re doubting yourself
✨ Courageous decision-making and saying no to paths that don’t align
✨ Navigating setbacks and continuing to lead with purpose
✨ Why confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you practice
This episode is a reminder that the life you want doesn’t come from waiting to feel ready; it comes from moving anyway. Confidence is built through action, courage, and choosing yourself, again and again!
