💬 Delivering Tough Messages — A Test of Character

We’ve all faced that moment when the truth feels heavier than silence. Whether at work or home, delivering hard news is never easy—but it’s where real trust begins.

In this episode of Unscripted Growth, I share a story about standing before a board to deliver bad news—and what it taught me about honesty, courage, and leadership.

Because in the end, it’s not the ease of the message that defines us — it’s the honesty with which we deliver it.

In this episode, I sit down with Deepa Kartha, who shares her firsthand experience with continuous learning and observation. She talks about embracing discomfort, leaning into what doesn’t come naturally, and allowing curiosity to guide her growth.

It’s a powerful reminder that the path to becoming better isn’t always easy — but it’s always worth it.

Working women are often praised for juggling it all but rarely encouraged to pause for themselves. The cost? Burnout, dwindling confidence, and a quiet absence of joy. In this episode of Unscripted Growth, I call for a shift: to see self-care not as selfishness, but as the foundation for stronger leadership, deeper relationships, and sustained impact.
