Join me for one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had—featuring Deepa Malik, India’s first female Paralympic medallist, fearless change maker, and living example of what it means to turn pain into purpose.
In this deeply emotional and insightful episode, Deepa shares her extraordinary journey—starting with a spinal tumour diagnosis at the age of 5, to navigating paralysis at 29, and ultimately rising to become an internationally celebrated athlete, motivational speaker, and former President of the Paralympic Committee of India.
As we celebrate the #StrengthInEveryBond powered by L’Oréal Professionnel, we dive into the bonds and opportunities that have empowered Deepa. Beyond the medals and accolades, this is a story of manifestation, mental strength, and a refusal to settle.
We talk about:
• How Deepa used manifestation and mindset to transform every setback into a stepping stone.
• Her ground-breaking moments in para-sports and international competitions.
• The challenges of navigating disability in a world not built for inclusion.
• Her bold vision for a more accessible and equitable India.
• The emotional power of motherhood, financial independence, and redefining self-worth.
Whether you're facing your own challenges or simply want to witness the unfiltered power of human resilience, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.
Key Takeaways:
• Manifest Your Path: Deepa shares how daily visualisation and gratitude rituals helped shape her destiny.
• Break the Mould: Limitations exist more in society’s perception than in reality.
• Turn Pain Into Power: Every challenge is an opportunity to rise stronger.
• Inclusion is a Right: From accessible spaces to policy advocacy, Deepa is a force for change.
