About this episode

This episode explores Captain Rupinder Kaur's journey from a disciplined army life to embracing natural healing and personal reinvention.

What happens when a life built on discipline takes an unexpected turn? In this episode of Unstoppable Woman, Shailja Saraswati sits down with Captain Rupinder Kaur (Retd), whose journey spans army life, leadership, adversity, healing, and reinvention.
