In the latest episode of Uncomfortable Growth® Uncut, Rowena Millward welcomes Reg Raghavan, CEO of CulturalPulse, for a deep dive into the complexities of cultural identity and personal growth. Reg’s unique perspective as the son of Indian migrants in Australia offers listeners a rare glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of navigating dual cultures.
Reg shares how he found himself straddling two worlds, shaped by his parents’ Indian heritage and the Australian landscape. He reflects on how these experiences have influenced his identity, often leading to uncomfortable growth moments that forced him to confront his assumptions and beliefs. Reg shares poignant stories from his childhood, illustrating the stark contrasts between his home life and that of his peers, highlighting the challenges of growing up in a multicultural environment.
Throughout the episode, Rowena and Reg explore the significance of bridging cultural gaps, particularly in the context of health equity and community engagement. Reg’s passion for storytelling and his commitment to understanding diverse perspectives shine through as he discusses his work at Cultural Pulse, where he aims to create meaningful connections between government initiatives and the communities they serve.
My three favourite quotes from Regs’ story are:
“Your own limitation is you.”
“Everything that reflects externally is some reflection of yourself internally.”
“Different cultures have a perspective on the world, which is unique.”
Tune in to this enlightening conversation and discover how Reg Raghaven’s journey can inspire your own path of growth and understanding.
The world doesn’t need more stories of success; it needs honest conversations about hard challenges, vulnerability, and proof that trials can ultimately become triumphs.
That’s why the Uncomfortable Growth® Uncut podcast was born. It’s a reminder that struggle and success are intrinsically linked, that growth is rarely easy, and that the moments we feel most uncomfortable are where our greatest breakthroughs lie.
