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. I am grateful to you.

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.

Today we are getting into people-pleasing. A lot of us don’t even know that we are people pleasers and are probably being treated like doormats. And that’s why this conversation becomes even more important. I am speaking with Preeti Sharma who happens to be my best friend. Preeti is the Product Operation Lead at Quora and a micro-blogger on Instagram. She has taught me a lot in the last 7 years of knowing her. From scaling my social media business to upgrading my mindset. She is a firecracker of a human and it was difficult for me to believe that she is a recovering people pleaser. And because of these seemingly opposite traits, she is the right person to tell how not to be a human doormat. Preeti tells us- -Her story of becoming a people pleaser -How it impacted her mental health -how she realised that she was a people-pleaser -how she is becoming less of a people pleaser -how she reached where she is now and how you can too.

This episode contains references to chronic diseases and death. Please use your discretion before listening. Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s as unique as each of us. In this heartfelt episode, we’re diving into the deeply personal experience of grief with my guest who opens up about her own journey of loss and healing. Together, we’ll talk about how grief can look different for everyone, the unexpected ways it can show up in our lives, and why there’s no “right” way to grieve. Our guest shares how she navigated the pain of losing people she loved and ultimately found herself in the process. Whether you’re in the thick of grief, supporting someone who is, or just curious about how we grow through loss, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and hopeful. Join us as we explore the beauty and resilience that can emerge from even the darkest times. I am speaking with Gunjan Pai who is the founder of boutique brand strategy and copywriting studio, Copylove. She began her 22-year-old career as a copywriter with Ogilvy & Mather and Lowe Lintas. She then transitioned to building Copylove. While she was building the agency, her husband was diagnosed with a chronic disease and passed away a few years after that. Now Gunjan not only had to keep her business going but she also had to raise her young son. As if this wasn’t hard enough, soon after her husband’s death, she got more bad news regarding her mother and mother-in-law. Gunjan says that she did not have time to reflect on her losses and grieve. She had to pick herself and keep going but that didn’t go well for her. Let’s hear from Gunjan how she took back control, how she came to terms with her situation, what helped her during her toughest times and what helps her now. It’s a vulnerable discussion on sorrow and strength which is going to act as a ray of hope for anyone who listens to it so please share with someone who needs it.

Have you tried taking 5 deep breaths to reduce your stress but it didn’t help? Maybe you sat down to meditate and felt even more agitated. Coloring to reduce stress doesn’t interest you. These same things work for others but not for you because stress regulation is not one size fits all. Even the popular stress management tools don’t work for everyone in every situation and it’s because we all are different and deal with the same things differently. We are talking about stress in this episode- My guest Dr. Anuja Luniya is not just a stress expert — she’s a living testament to the transformative power of resilience and play. Diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in 2005, she began her career in 2008 as a physiotherapist focusing on geriatric care. Over the years, her path evolved to encompass fitness, nutrition, behavioural health, and corporate wellness. However, it was during her recent IBD flares that she uncovered her true mission: to make stress relief simple, science-backed, and fun. With over 16 years of experience, 13,000+ lives transformed, and partnerships with 60+ giants like Adobe, IKEA, and TCE, Dr. Anuja blends cutting-edge science with an approachable, playful twist. Her secret sauce? Techniques like vagus nerve regulation, gut health myofascial lifestyle optimisation and biohacking tools — all designed to help people relax, play, and thrive. Whether through her transformative workshops or her interactive activity book, Relax Play Thrive, Dr. Anuja is on a mission to turn stress into a game, resilience into a superpower, and make India one of the least stressed nations on the planet. So let’s hear from her. Please share this episode with a friend you care about.

I am a feminist and I feel that we all should be feminists. If you didn’t know, feminism doesn’t mean female superiority. It means equity and equality for women. And yes it’s still very much relevant because women are nowhere equal to men whether at workplaces or at homes. Talking about feminism is very important to me and this episode is all about it. I’m speaking with Dr. Madhurima Vidyarthi who is an accomplished author besides being an endocrinologist. I read her book The School for Bad Girls and was shocked by how little we know about women’s condition in previous centuries. Even more shocking was the fact that a lot of things are still the same for us. Women have progressed but the men and society as a whole hasn’t progressed as much. Madhurima’s book is about one of India’s first doctors Dr. Kadambini Ganguly but it’s way more than a story. In the episode, author Dr. Madhurima Vidyarthi and I talk about feminism, marriage, men’s role in society, patriarchy, life and a few things we can do to create a society of equals. We discuss both history and the current scenario. Lots to think about and even more to take away, so join us. Please spread the message of feminism by sharing this episode with your friends and family.

Fat, thin, dark, light, big nose, small eyes, thin lips, flat chest- there are tons of ways to describe a body and these terms form our body image. Most of us have the tendency to criticize our bodies. I too am guilty of this and am struggling with a poor body image even today. Our families and society have passed on this body image to us and we are transferring it to our kids without being fully aware of it. To add to this, kids these days are exposed to way too many images through social media and other platforms. Even though there are discussions around inclusivity and body neutrality, the perfect 10 figure is still the ideal. Besides this, a child suffering from hair and skin issues, health problems or disability is still sniggered at. We don’t realize their struggles and have no idea what they are feeling every day. We have to look beyond the body and so when I came across the book Hug Yourself curated by Vinitha Ramchandani, I instantly decided to have her on the podcast. Vinitha has written over 25 books tailored for children and young adults. Her book Hug Yourself has Body Positivity and Empowerment Stories for Teenagers. It’s A Powerful Anthology of 16 Stories Featuring Prominent Writers Like Anuja Chandramouli, Harshikaa Udasi and Santhini Govindan among Others. In my view, Everyone needs to read this book from teenagers to adults of all ages. In this episode we talk about- - Vinitha’s observations on today’s teens and body image - Her and my struggles with body image - How have things changed from when Vinitha was young to now - What can be done to make things better - How we parents can help kids in building a positive body image Please help me bring more such conversations to you by sharing this episode with your friends- just copy the link and send over whatsapp, email or a simple text message.

Too old, too young, not good enough, too good for this- we have many such notions but thankfully people are talking about these limiting beliefs and we are seeing inspiring stories of people doing things in their own time at their own pace. I have one such inspiring woman’s story for you. Namrata Lodha launched Myaraa hats at the age of 52. It was her first venture and this entrepreneurship journey started in a living room. The idea was to (re)introduce the concept of hats as an accessory but with a unique design element in it. Inspired by the natural grass fiber baskets from her childhood home in Madhya Pradesh, Namrata designs these accessories with the same material. This production empowers rural women whose families abandoned them for marrying outside their community or being a widow. The company makes work accessible in rural India for these women making sure that when you buy a sunny hat it comes bundled with the social and financial empowerment of a woman. This is a story of breaking norms and also of family support and giving back to society. Listen in to get inspired and share it with your friends.

How to talk to children about body boundaries. Even the mention of child sexual abuse scares us parents and so we are always looking for ways to educate our kids about it and related topics like consent and boundaries.
