Ep 39: This Skydiving Accident Taught Me the Hardest Truth About Myself

🎙 In this episode of Untempered, I sit down with Uma Ghosh – former Mrs. India, award-winning TV host, and now a wellness entrepreneur leading a powerful pro-age movement.But this isn’t a conversation about glitz and glam. It’s about what you didn’t see.✨ Behind the beauty, there was burnout.✨ Behind the success, there was silence.✨ Behind the public persona, there was a woman doing deep inner work.We talk about:– The moment her anxiety forced her to stop and re-evaluate everything– How the beauty industry became a mask she had to shed– What it means to walk away from a “successful” life and start over– How she now builds her business with a blend of strategy and spirituality– Her bold stand for pro-aging in an anti-aging world– And the legacy she wants to leave—not for the internet, but for the people who love her mostThis episode is raw, reflective, and deeply inspiring. If you’re navigating a life pivot, battling burnout, or feeling the pressure to perform, this one’s for you.👇 Watch, comment, and share with someone who needs to hear this.And don’t forget to follow the podcast for more real, unfiltered conversations.#UntemperedPodcast #UmaGhosh #BurnoutRecovery #ProAging #FemininePower #SpiritualEntrepreneur #PodcastInterview #InnerWork🌐Check me out on:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3YLNk40Podcast: https://apple.co/42PU02aIheart: https://ihr.fm/42x0jcdAmazon Music:https://amzn.to/4jVToiH-0:00 - Intro 1:20 - Uma describes what turning 51 truly feels like 4:30 - The truth behind fame that no one knows about7:00 - Career change struggles and the big paradigm shift10:00 - Redefining success and the journey of trusting her gut11:20 - Reframing ageing for Uma14:00 - Western medicine solutions and their effects on society15:00 - Beauty standards that are hindering us22:00 - Protecting the coming generations from impossible expectations22:35 - My personal experience with Botox23:30 - Anti-Aging vs Pro-Aging25:15 - Embracing Ageing as it comes with all its beauty and advantages26:00 - Looking inwards and Uma's teachings in her Pro Academy33:00 - Internal research that is necessary 35:00 - Uma's mission and goals moving forward Message from your host: Hi, I’m Naila Nazer.
