This episode continues our Podcast on the Streets of Perth series, where conversations happen in real-world settings rather than studios. You’ll hear the city around us — movement, life, and energy which we’ve intentionally kept to preserve the authenticity of the moment.

In this episode of The Growth Concept, Simran Virk — a public speaking coach — shares her powerful journey of overcoming personal challenges and finding purpose through helping others find their voice.

Simran opens up about facing bullying in high school, the resilience it built within her, and the pivotal role a supportive teacher played during a difficult chapter of her life. We explore how confidence is built (not born), why mistakes in public speaking matter far less than we think, and how social media can distort self-worth if we’re not intentional.

This conversation is about mindset, purpose, confidence, and taking life one step at a time — even when the path feels uncertain.
