E17 Growth Is Always Painful But Then Also So Beautiful with Shikha Uberoi

Evolving Door

Shikha Uberoi is an amazing person.
She excelled at professional tennis (top 100 in the world, No.1 in India), went into TV and then Tech, and has done it all with such a great sense of purpose.
She is one of five sisters and her parents (especially her father) gave them tremendous self-belief that they really could do anything, and that there was no limit. They have each gone on to achieve amazing things in their lives.
Shikha has always embodied a sense of service and spirituality but she found it very difficult to move from professional tennis to her passion for TV and storytelling to make a difference.
It felt like she was giving up her dream for tennis until she understood she was just refocusing the passion inside her in a new direction.
We explore lots from:
The meaning of success
When to give up to not give up
The importance of embracing the journey
The power of your parents believing in you
Understanding a lot of conservative behaviour is driven by fear and it has its place
Ultimately the way forward is dialogue and understanding.
Hope you enjoy it, let us know what you think.
