Podcast Description: Facing Fear

Episode Title: Bayama? (Fear?)

"Everyone, Happy New Year! I know I've been away for a while, but I'm back with a brand new episode to kick off the year right."

In this heartfelt and relatable episode, your host Pooja Sree dives deep into a topic that has followed her since childhood: Fear. From missing out on stage performances like mime, singing, and public speaking to the anxiety of starting a new job, Pooja reflects on how fear has both held her back and pushed her to grow.

In this episode, we discuss:

The "Stage Fear" Struggle: Why Pooja avoided the spotlight for years despite wanting to be a performer.

Breaking the Cycle: How she pushed through her nerves during her second year of college to host a department function.

Real-World Hurdles: Facing the fear of internships at Radio City and the nerves of starting her first full-time job (which she’s now been at for nearly a year!).

A Message of Support: Why we should encourage others when they are afraid, rather than dismissing their fears as "silly."
