How self-compassion changed my life | Swetha Shri | TEDxKorea University

Shri Swetha is a Global MBA student driven by a deep commitment to personal growth, resilience, and advocacy. Having dedicated years to preparing for the UPSC examination, she experienced firsthand the immense pressure of academic expectations. When her path to becoming a public service officer closed, she found a new calling—one that led her to establish an NGO and pursue a master’s degree in Korea. Her journey has reshaped her understanding of stress, success, and self-worth, turning what once felt like failure into a foundation for new opportunities. Through her TEDx talk, Shri Swetha hopes to connect with students who silently carry the weight of expectations, self-doubt, and unseen struggles. Drawing from her own experiences, she will explore how resilience, and self-compassion can empower individuals to overcome stress and navigate life's challenges.
