What if the cure is sunlight?

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2522149/open_sms] I grew up hearing “Go sit in the morning sun, it’s good for you.”  At the time, it sounded like one of those things you were just supposed to do — like drinking haldi milk or doing Surya Namaskar.  But now, science says they were right all along. This episode is about the quiet power of early sunlight — how it lifts your mood, resets your body, and reminds you what being alive feels like. Because sometimes the most powerful medicine isn’t in a bottle. It’s right outside your window. (This episode is not medical advice.

When did you last really notice?

And somehow, it turned into one of the happiest days I’ve had in a long time. This episode is about rediscovering childlike joy — the kind that hides in small things when we finally slow down enough to notice. If you’ve been rushing lately, this one’s for you. 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.
