Favorite Self Confidence Quote
She needed a hero, so that’s what she became.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is not just being comfortable in your skin, but unapologetically being yourself! Knowing and embracing your true self.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Pooja grew up as an under confident, self conscious girl who didn’t have the courage to pursue her dreams. While she had great supportive friends, she would think that she didn’t deserve it or that she needed to do so much more to be deserving of love.
The “AHA” Moment
The journey of finding Pooja’s self confidence and being comfortable in her own skin started with the launch of her start up Let’s Barter India. While the world was appreciating what she was doing, she was struggling with self doubt, body image issues and low confidence. This is when she decided that the fate of her start-up was linked to how brave she would be right now, and hence started taking small steps out of her comfort zone. Pooja was received with only love, regard and even respect from the universe.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
After Pooja embraced herself with love, she started a ripple effect where everyone around her appreciated it too. As her work continued to empower her, she wanted to ensure that she spread the love too. Today, she speaks to many young women about self confidence, empowerment and entrepreneurship. She takes the stage with confidence, abide by her own rules and lead life rather than just living it.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Embrace who you are, embrace yourself with all your imperfections and flaws but know your strengths. Women are too harsh and strict on themselves but conformity to societal standards is for sheep. Make your own rules and live healthy!
