We had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Dr. Shawna Pandya, Canada’s first named commercial female astronaut, for a new episode of the Changing the Game Podcast. 🚀

In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Pandya shared her journey — from being a 12-year-old girl dreaming of space to becoming a leader in commercial space research. She talked about the power of representation, the “immigrant hard”work ethic, and how Taekwondo built her resilience.

She also reminded us that innovation in space isn’t always about high tech — it’s about resourceful thinking, and encouraged young people to seize the limitless opportunities technology now makes possible. 🌍✨

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
