#6 Miss India America: Wearing A Crown of Authenticity

India is incredibly high-achieving, professing that she did not take a break from full-time education until she decided to enter the Miss India America pageant. We talk about the stigma around pageants and the brains vs. beauty argument that comes up time and time again. What stuck out about my conversation India is how important her faith is to her. She is a practising Hindu and has credited the religion (and Sathya Sai Baba Bal Vikas Education) with instilling her core values. As you'll hear, India has made some bold moves in her life and her career in order to get to where she wants to be. She shares how she developed her strong sense of self and how she is able to remove herself from uncomfortable situations. Key takeaways:- How to remain authentic under intense pressure.- The importance of finding friends with good motives and ambitions.- Utilising your faith and spirituality in your career.- Designing a successful career path (or is it just a series of accidents?).- How to overcome your insecurities to become who you wanna be.-View extended show notes here.Follow Wanna Be @WannaBepodcast on TwitterVisit wannabepodcast.com to get your copy of 24 Easy Actions to Calm Your Mind and Put a Smile on your face.You can follow me @ImiMorgan on Twitter and Instagram.
