Mental Health at Work: What Real Support Looks Like

In this episode of the Inner Space podcast, Nisha is joined by Jo of Calerae to explore something that is often spoken about but rarely implemented properly in workplaces - mental health culture. We discuss what it actually means to support mental health in a corporate or organisational setting, whether that’s a small team or a large company, and why so many current approaches stop at surface-level “wellness initiatives” that don’t create real change. Mental health in the workplace is not about ticking a box once a year, or offering a wellbeing day here and there. It’s about how people are actually supported, seen, and held within the culture of the organisation every single day. We also look at why mental health at work is not just an employee issue - but a leadership and culture issue that needs to be addressed at the root. This conversation is for anyone in leadership, HR, or business ownership who knows that something needs to shift, but isn’t sure what that actually looks like in practice. Ways to Work With Us If you’re an employer or organisation looking to move beyond box-ticking approaches and genuinely implement healthier mental health practices in your workplace, you can get in touch with Nisha and Jo to explore how we can support you in building a more sustainable and conscious work culture.

When Your Husband Puts His Mum Before You + What To Do Next

In this episode, Nisha explore's a complex but often unspoken relational dynamic between women, their partners.... and their partners’ mothers. At the heart of this conversation is the concept of triangulation - where a man who has not fully individuated from his mother may still unconsciously seek her approval, validation or permission, even within his adult romantic relationships. This can create a subtle but powerful imbalance in the relationship system. It’s about understanding patterns of emotional loyalty, individuation and boundary formation - and how these dynamics can impact intimacy, trust and connection within marriage or long-term relationships. At its core, this conversation is about awareness - seeing patterns clearly so they can begin to be understood, addressed, and transformed. If this episode resonates, it may bring up reflection around boundaries, attachment patterns, and what secure partnership actually looks like in practice.

People-Pleasing, Guilt & Self-Abandonment: Why You Keep Choosing Everyone But Yourself

In this episode of the Inner Space podcast, Nisha is joined by Teena from Ungaslighted for a deeply honest conversation about self-abandonment and the subtle ways so many women lose connection with themselves in everyday life. We explore what it really looks like when you override your own needs—often not in obvious or dramatic ways, but in the small, repeated patterns of saying yes when you mean no, over-giving in relationships, and prioritising being liked over being honest. For many women, these patterns don’t come from nowhere. They are often shaped early on through conditioning around being “good,” “easy,” or “low maintenance,” where emotional expression or personal needs weren’t always given space or validation. This conversation goes beyond awareness - it speaks to the lived experience of women who look like they’re coping on the outside, but internally feel disconnected, exhausted, or out of alignment. Ways to Work With Me If this episode resonates and you’re noticing these patterns in your own life, I currently have a couple of spaces available for one-to-one work or in my Wellbeing Workshop. This is for women who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, over-giving, or self-doubt, and want to rebuild a stronger sense of self-trust, boundaries, and internal authority. * Work With Me: Request Your Consultation Call [https://innerspacetherapy.uk/free-initial-consultation-call/] * Women's Circle + Talking  [https://innerspacetherapy.uk/womens-circle/] Work With Teena  [https://www.instagram.com/ungaslited/]

You’re Not Just Watching Bridgerton… You’re Recognising Yourself & Life In It

Why are we drawn to certain people… and instantly put off by others? And what if those reactions aren’t random, but actually revealing something deeper about us? In today’s episode, we’re using the world of Bridgerton as a lens to explore identity, attraction, and the patterns we play out in relationships. Because we don’t just watch these characters… we recognise ourselves in them. In who we admire, who frustrates us and what we desire - and avoid! And often, those reactions are shaped by years of conditioning - cultural, societal, and relational, that we don’t always question. It’s a light, open conversation with Nisha, Gurkiran and Chanie but one that might just leave you seeing yourself a little more clearly.

Debunking Tarot & Oracle Cards: South Asians + Intuition

In this episode of the Inner Space podcast, Nisha & Gurkiran of Chandraveda have a more open, honest and fun, conversation around tarot and oracle cards, especially through a South Asian lens.  For many of us, these tools have been misunderstood or even feared. We’ve been told they’re “bad,” “spooky,” or something to stay away from. But what if that’s not the full picture? In this episode, we explore how tarot and oracle cards can actually be used as tools for introspection, self-awareness, and connecting more deeply with your own intuition - not something external or to be feared. We also make this episode interactive by pulling cards live and talking through what comes up, offering real-time insight into how you can interpret and work with them in your own life. If you’ve ever been curious but unsure, or even hesitant, this episode will give you a more grounded, balanced perspective.
