Ep 29 - Finding Community on a Solo Trip

Have you ever taken a solo trip? Or if not a whole trip, at least gone to the movies alone? Walked through a mall by yourself or had only yourself as company for a meal? Have you ever discovered a different side to you on these solo adventures, struck up conversations with unlikely companions and come to become friends with people you would never have otherwise met but for this strange play of fate? I did. I recently took a solo trip to Bangkok for a KPop Concert and had the time of my life! But most importantly I found myself a community of amazing women who are now my KPop buddies in Bangalore... And I couldn't have asked for a better adventure even if I had scripted the whole thing myself! Join me as I recount this adventure because I promise there is some magic in it for everyone!

Ep 28 - Half Yearly Check-In

The most natural marker of human nature is to set a goal in the beginning of January and forget about it by the time March rolls around. By the time we're 6 months into a year, our New Year Resolutions become memories, with the promise of "next year" hanging wistfully in the air. But maybe this year can be different? How about you join me in doing a half yearly check-in of your goals for the year? Just look back and see 2025 so far, and maybe, just maybe, it will surprise you!

Ep 27 - Celebrating Moms 4 - tete-a-tete with a Gen Alpha Mom (ft. Sushruti)

Being a mom may not have been a question a mere few decades ago, but today, it most certainly is a choice - and one that needs to be made with a lot of consideration, empathy and most importantly, enough information. Motherhood brings with it a myriad of challenges, but one may not feel equipped enough to handle, no matter how prepared one is at the beginning of the journey, and the fact is, there is not much discourse around this. Join me as I engage in a very interesting chat with Sushruti - a mom to Gen Alpha and Beta kids, on her perspective on the lack of discussion around motherhood itself, the challenges it brings in a career woman's life, the sacrifices that it requires as a woman, an individual and even as a friend!

Ep 26 - Celebrating Moms 3 - Myths, Motherhood, and the Modern Woman ft. Parul

Motherhood comes with a myriad of emotions - excitement and love for the new member of the family, of course, but also the lesser known and rarely talked about aspects of motherhood like post partum depression, resentment towards one's child, or the physical, emotional and mental toll becoming a mother takes on a woman. Well, all this to say, that while one can cherish their offspring, motherhood is not necessarily the bed of roses it is made out to be. But, the experience can be made easier, and better, by simply being vocal about one's experiences. Join me as I discuss with Parul, an entrepreneurship and leadership coach, about her experiences with PPD, and other challenges that come with parenthood, and how her program "Guilt Free Mama" provides a platform for moms to exchange notes, and experience being themselves, in addition to being a mum to their little ones.

Ep 25 - Celebrating Moms 2 - Reflections of a Working Mom ft. Deepa Mahesh

Moms are superheroes and working moms, some would argue, even more so, what with the intense balancing act of maintaining not only your home and children, but also your career and professional life. However, being a working woman while raising kids comes with its own set of unique challenges, and most commonly - the guilt of not being there for your child. Join me in conversation with coach, facilitator and mother, Deepa Mahesh, as she reflects on the roller coaster of a journey that is motherhood.
