Poorna talks to about some of the hardest moments in her life that have forged her resilience. From moving to England from India as a young child and dealing with racial intolerance through to the tragic suicide of her late husband, Rob; Poorna shares insight on what's led her to where she is now and how she found her inner strength through weightlifting.
A groundbreaking inspirational keynote speaker on women's strength, Poorna tells of her journey to get physically strong after her husband, Rob, died and the huge (and unexpected) ways in which it empowered her, gave her confidence to be her true self at home and in the workplace and boosted her mental resilience.

Focuses on the key themes of Poorna’s most recent publication ‘stronger’; confronting our social conditioning and how it is unknowingly holding us back, how ownership of your physicality can generate confidence which can be wielded in the workplace, across your social life etc., alongside learning how to own the space you occupy, and the importance of Community. It’s quite closely linked to female empowerment but drills down on those specific themes more directly.
