What happens when a woman is told she’s “not ready” but decides to apply anyway?
In this episode, we meet Dr. Arokia, an inspiring medical leader who went from being discouraged by her own boss to becoming one of the youngest divisional medical directors in the NHS, covering half of England.
Her story is one of courage, resilience, and hope, from her early days in India to breaking barriers in the UK healthcare system and launching Mind Connect, a groundbreaking mental health platform.
This episode is about more than career success. It is about believing in yourself when no one else does, taking bold steps, and using your journey to empower others.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:
How Dr. Arokia turned rejection into motivation
The importance of applying even when you’re told “you’re not ready”
Why confidence matters as much as competence
The power of hope and purpose in leadership
Her new mission to change mental health support through technology
🎙️ Tune in and be inspired by a story that proves you can’t raise others until you’ve raised yourself.
