Unlearning Shame | Dr. Priya Bhave | TEDxNMIMS Indore
Description: Dr. Priya Bhave’s talk is a reflection on the many forms of shame we carry, and the freedom that comes with unlearning them. She shares her personal journey of feeling ashamed of her body and how she chose to challenge that belief by becoming a triathlete. She also explores the quieter shame of not knowing something new, even as a doctor working at a leading hospital. Her experiences remind us that expertise does not mean having all the answers. In the spirit of “The Age of Unlearning,” she encourages us to let go of shame, embrace curiosity, and give ourselves the freedom to be beginners again.
Dr. Priya Bhave is a reproductive medicine specialist whose work brings together medicine, technology, and a deep commitment to empowering people through knowledge. Beyond the clinic and operating room, Dr. Bhave uses digital platforms to make conversations around women’s health more accessible, creating educational content that helps audiences better understand subjects that are often surrounded by confusion, stigma, or misinformation. Her journey extends beyond medicine as she has also embraced the demanding world of endurance sport as an Ironman triathlete. The combination of her medical profession, digital presence, and athletic pursuits reflects a willingness to continually step beyond conventional boundaries. She demonstrates how medical professionals can educate, communicate, and inspire beyond the traditional clinical setting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Close description
