Ep. 41 - The Double Standard Dilemma: Why Women Still Have to Prove Themselves with Urmi Hossain
Wednesday, 12 November, 2025
This episode features a powerful cross-cultural conversation about identity, ambition, and belonging. My guest, Urmi Hossain, is a corporate professional, author, speaker, and advocate for women’s empowerment. Born and raised in Italy with Bengali heritage, Urmi shares her experience of growing up between two cultures — and how she transformed that sense of “not fitting in” into a source of strength, leadership, and purpose.Together, we explore how cultural expectations shape women’s self-worth, why independence is often discouraged in traditional systems, and how redefining womanhood begins with reclaiming your autonomy and inner truth.✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:* How cultural narratives influence women’s confidence and self-identity* What it means to “not belong” — and how to turn that into power* The hidden double standards women face across cultures* Why self-actualization isn’t gendered — it’s human* Practical ways to reconnect with yourself beyond roles and expectations* How rest, reflection, and alignment create space for true fulfillment💡 Key Message:You don’t have to fit into a cultural script to be whole. Your identity, your ambition, and your story are enough — just as they are.You are allowed to evolve.You are allowed to redefine what womanhood means to you.💜 Work With MeReady for deeper support?
