In this episode, Lorraine Connell, founder of Peers Not Fears, sits down with life coach Kamini to explore how her teenage struggles shaped her work in leadership development and coaching. As a high performer and introvert, Kamini faced immense pressure to succeed, which led to social anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. These experiences have profoundly influenced her journey of self-discovery and now fuel her mission to help high achievers overcome self-sabotage, embrace their core values, and cultivate self-compassion.
