Listen "Redefining Safety and Self-Worth (Angelina Badri’s Story)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of I'm in Control, I sit down with the remarkable Angelina Badri, founder and director of Universal Safety Wellness Abhiyan. Angelina shares her powerful journey from aspiring educator to global advocate for safety and wellness in high-risk industries.
She opens up about the pivotal moment that shaped her mission — witnessing the devastating impact of a workplace accident — and how it fuelled her passion to protect and empower workers. We dive into the realities of burnout, fatigue, and toxic workplaces, and how reframing our beliefs, building resilience, and celebrating small wins can shift the way we lead and live.
Angelina also speaks candidly about navigating bias as a woman in male-dominated industries, the importance of humour and connection, and why every worker — from executives to frontline operators — deserves to feel valued and heard.
