Raising Focused Kids: A Children’s Author on Parenting Then vs Now

9/9/2025
Parenting has changed dramatically across generations, from simpler childhoods with fewer distractions to today’s world of endless options. But what does that mean for our kids’ ability to focus, finish what they start, and truly pay attention? In this episode, I speak with beloved children’s author Sonia Mehta who raised her daughter in one era and now watches her daughter raise kids in another. Together, we explore how parenting styles have shifted from “don’t cry, just carry on” to raising children who are more emotionally aware but often more distracted. We talk about helping kids build focus, why boredom still matters, and how stories can teach empathy and attention in a fast-paced world. If you’ve ever wondered how to raise observant, emotionally strong and focused kids today, this conversation is for you.

Why do I Feel Shame when I Look in the Mirror? Let’s Discuss Postpartum Bodies and Fitness

7/29/2025
No one tells you that your body might still look pregnant weeks or even months after giving birth. Or that the pressure to "bounce back" can feel louder than your own intuition. In this candid conversation, Maitri sits down with a postpartum fitness expert to unpack the shame, myths and silent grief many women feel in their bodies after motherhood. I’m talking to Postpartum Core Specialist Darshika Gupta and we will not talk about six-packs and step goals but about the shame, the silence and the straight-up lies we’re fed about our bodies after motherhood. This one’s for every woman who’s ever looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Why do I feel like a stranger in my own skin?’ Let’s unpack the pressure, untangle the guilt, and start rewriting the story- from punishment to power. Remember that you don’t need to shrink to feel strong. A must-listen for new moms, tired moms and anyone questioning the “bounce back” narrative.

Not Perfect, Just Kinder: A Real Talk on Emotional Growth ft. Tenaz Cardoz of Kind Hearts Brigade

7/1/2025
We’re talking about something the world always needs more of—kindness. But not in a preachy, Pinterest-quote way. My guest today actually builds kindness into her business. She creates products and services that quietly nudge people to be just a little softer, a little more thoughtful, a little more human. I am speaking with Tenaz Shanice Cardoz. Inspired by the need for a kinder place, Tenaz started Kind Hearts Brigade as a space to empower people to be kind in easy ways. Through her experience in working as a marketing professional, or even observing people, she was inspired to create easy to access tools to enable people to be kinder to themselves and to people around them. In this episode, we chat about what it really means to live kindly, the messy and magical ways kindness shows up in real life, and how small acts can ripple into something much bigger. Whether you’re having a good day or a really rough one, this conversation might just make you smile at a stranger today.

Small Acts of Creativity for Women with Busy Lives ft. Rupambika Khandai of Twillostory

6/24/2025
TW- this episode contains reference to suicide. Today’s episode is for every woman who has ever said, ‘I’m just not the creative type’ or maybe used to be, but somehow, between school runs, work stress, and laundry mountains, creativity got shoved into a dusty corner. But guess what? Creativity isn't just for artists. It’s a mental health tool, a mini rebellion against the hustle, and honestly, sometimes it's just doodling on your grocery list because your brain needs a breather. My guest Rupambika Khandai gets that so deeply. She’s a graphic designer turned founder of India’s first creative wellness and self care brand Twillostory. They create thoughtfully designed products and tools, full of ideas and inspiration to help you slow down, unplug and use creative expression as a way to live a more mindful, creative and fulfilling life. So if you’re feeling a little creatively constipated, or just need a fresh perspective on self-care that doesn’t involve bubble baths you’re gonna love this chat. Very importantly, though there’s some difference between being artistic and being creative and we have talked about it in the conversation but we have used these terms interchangeably too out of habit.

Why You’re Always Tired: The Surprising Link Between Gut Health, Diet and Ambition

We usually talk about diet in the context of weight loss or about what’s good for our health and what’s not. But let’s flip that today.

Aur fir hum sochte hain, “Mujhse toh apne kaam hi nahi hote, kuchh extra kaise karun?” But maybe, it's not you. Maybe, it's your food. So let’s find out- -Kaise diet humari ambition ko impact karta hai -Kya khane se humari energy aur motivation better ho sakti hai -35 ki age ke baad apne diet mei kya kuchh alag karna chaiye -Kaise slump ko energy boost mei convert karen -Achhi gut health and overall health ke non-negotiables kya hain -Aur wo small shifts jo aap kar sakti ho bina apni puri schedule ko change kiye My guest is Swetha Ashok who is a nutritionist, lifestyle consultant and founder of The Gut Guru.

Healing in Pieces- How to Reclaim Yourself after Trauma ft. Author and Mindfulness Expert Puja Shah

5/13/2025
We women are prone to feeling shame for things that aren’t our fault, we refuse to claim our power, we rarely take a pause for ourselves, we struggle with low self-worth and live in survival mode a lot of times. That’s why when author Puja Shah’s team approached me for an interview about her new book, I instantly said yes. Puja Shah is an author, poet and mindfulness expert. Her book ‘For My Sister’ is about twin sisters Amla and Asya who go from living in a small village to moving to Mumbai to being sold in flesh trade. Their only security is each other until they are separated. Though they each discover ways to cope through poetry, art, and romance, they long for the other half of themselves. This is a story of love, trust, self-worth and coming out stronger. In this episode, I and author Puja Shah discuss her book while connecting it to the lives of women everywhere. It’s a deep conversation with lots of takeaways for our own growth and sisterhood. You can help me bring more such conversations to you by following the podcast and by rating and reviewing us.

How to Overcome Supermom Syndrome and Mom Guilt ft. Author Bhakti Mathur

5/6/2025
When I was a new mom, I wanted to be a supermom like the ones portrayed in the media- 10 hands and doing something different and supposedly productive with each of them. I found it powerful without realizing that it was actually stressing me out. Realistically koi bhi itni sari cheezen ek time pe nahi kar sakta hai- bachche ka dhyan rakho, khana banao, ghar dekho, family ka dhyan rakho, relax karo, workout karo aur phir jab bachcha bada ho jaye to uske school se leke after school activities dekho aur baki sab to karna hi hai. Oh and if you have a job besides all of this unpaid work, consider the load doubled. Hume lagta hai ki wah humare paas to superpower hai hum sab kar lenge par isse hota hai burnout, stress and lots of other mental and physical health issues. This is one of those discussions that never gets old and when done right provides good takeaways. I am discussing all of this with author Bhakti Mathur. If you are an Indian mother, you are probably familiar with Bhakti Mathur’s Amma tell Me series. It’s a series of children’s picture books about Indian festivals and mythology. After a long stint as a banker, she now juggles her time between her writing, her passion for yoga and long-distance running, and her family. She lives in Hong Kong with her husband, their two children and two dogs. She is also the author of Amma, Take Me Series. The latest addition to the series is Amma, Take Me to the Hill Forts of Rajasthan which my daughter loved and so did I. In this episode, Bhakti and I talk about the idea of a good mother, mom-guilt, equal marriage, mental load and how to overcome the overwhelm of it all.

Many of us are scared of money while others love it a little too much. Whatever your feelings might be about money, the fact is that we all need it but most of us get stuck in the cycle of earn, save, spend. Just consistent income isn’t enough and we are capable of doing more. Whether you are a homemaker, a freelancer, an entrepreneur or a corporate employee, your approach towards money needs to change if you want to build wealth. Money is not a gender role, it’s a system and systems can be learnt. This episode is a masterclass in money- mindset blocks, tangible challenges, priorities, long term goals and more. I’m speaking with Priyanka Bhatia who is the Co-Founder of Women on Wealth and a money coach for women.
