What happens when you examine a buzzword that makes your skin crawl? In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Pallavi Jain to unpack “empowerment,” a term that often leaves me questioning its true essence. As an HR professional, I’ve seen it twisted into something superficial—an empty call to action rather than a profound inward journey. With a playful wager on the table, I challenged Pallavi: I'd hope to cringe less by the end of our 90-minute chat. Spoiler alert: she won! Together, we explore the rich layers of empowerment, spurred by Pallavi’s transformative experiences that remind us to look within for real understanding. Join us as we redefine this often-abused term and discover its genuine power. Listen to wherever you get your pods.
