Muqaddisa Mehreen Talks UNICEF, Mental Health, and Traveling the World | Lived Words Ep. 10

Muqaddisa Mehreen has spent her life understanding environments: the worlds we grow up in, the places that shape us before we understand what we’re feeling, and the systems that influence our perceptions of support and collaboration. She has worked across countries, cultures, and complex humanitarian settings, and found joy and purpose in listening to people whose stories are overlooked. More than that, she is someone who sees people. She listens closely, holds space, and brings care into conversations that are not always easy to have. More than most, she understands how the world around us shapes the ways we feel and grow. In this conversation, Dr. Mehreen details the ways in which her work in gender rights and child protection has taken her into environments where mental health is closely tied to safety, opportunity, and everyday lived experience. What does happiness really mean, when every moment is defined by survival? Follow us on Instagram: @livedwordspodcast Follow us on Facebook: @livedwordspodcast Follow us on TikTok: @lived.words.pod

Swayam Bagaria Talks Religion, Belief, and Modern Spirituality | Lived Words Ep. 9

Swayam Bagaria is a thinker. An anthropologist by education and professor of religion by trade, he is a deep thinker and someone who approaches every aspect of the world with his trademark curiosity and openness to complex thought. Dr. Bagaria's work, on the other hand, delves deep into the mental health space and bridges concepts of spirituality, belief, religion, and culture. Dr. Bagaria also explores culture and identity within himself. A deeply reflective person, Dr. Bagaria's focus on contemporary belief networks in India stems from his own heritage and background. Furthermore, he embraces a definition of spirituality that is personal and, in many ways, original; crafted by years of experience, research, and education. Today, Dr. Bagaria shares his perspective on modern spirituality, the importance of belief to the development of today's generation (as well as society as a whole), and the answer to whether or not he even considers himself to be religious at all.
