S01 - E06 : Living With Uncertainty Guest: Evelyn Brody

Life is objectively uncertain. So why do we keep trying to make it feel otherwise and what does it cost us when certainty becomes the condition for feeling safe? In the second conversation with integrated healer Evelyn Brody, Sanjiv goes deeper: into uncertainty, impermanence, the body's relationship with endings and what it means to surrender without giving up. They explore why Western culture has become so frightened of death, what death cafes are quietly doing that most of us won't and how awareness of impermanence, rather than threatening us, can become one of the most grounding forces in a life. This episode completes the nervous system thread running through Season 1. If you've ever confused certainty with safety and most of us have this is an honest, grounded rerouting. Topics covered: uncertainty and anxiety, safety vs certainty, surrender vs giving up, death and presence, death cafes, impermanence, resilience and letting go, consciousness, body wisdom and endings, attachment and loss Keywords: living with uncertainty, fear of uncertainty, Evelyn Brody, Sanjiv Sangha, You and You podcast, death cafes UK, surrender and acceptance, uncertainty and mental health, resilience podcast, impermanence and wellbeing, personal development podcast UK, self-help women podcast, inner weather season 1 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

S01 - E05 : Guilt & Belonging Co-Reflection with Mani

Guilt has a moral compass function, it guides us back when we've genuinely overstepped. But most of the guilt we carry isn't that. It's the guilt of trying to live on our own terms. Of setting a boundary. Of not staying in the room. In this co-reflection, Sanjiv is joined by Mani, founder of the Veda Soul Company, for a conversation that goes into the body of guilt, how it sits in the solar plexus, how it compounds into shame when unexamined, and how the price of belonging can quietly become the cost of yourself. They explore inherited guilt, the particular weight women carry across multiple roles, the connection between perfectionism and unworthiness, and what it actually feels like to start putting down the shopping bags that were never yours. This episode asks the question that runs through the whole of Season 1: are you living your life, or maintaining your place in other people's? Topics covered: guilt and belonging, inherited guilt, guilt and shame, guilt and self-worth, people pleasing, boundaries and guilt, women and guilt, body and guilt, perfectionism and worth, cultural guilt Keywords: guilt and belonging podcast, guilt and shame explained, inherited guilt, women and guilt, Sanjiv Sangha, You and You podcast, Mani Veda Soul Company, people pleasing recovery, self-worth and guilt, personal development women UK, brown women podcast, emotional intelligence podcast, inner weather season 1 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

S01 - E04 : Imposter Syndrome Co-Reflection with Brianna Cyrus

Imposter syndrome is usually framed as a personal problem, something to overcome through confidence, mindset work, or self-belief. But what if the real problem isn't internal doubt at all? In this co-reflection, Sanjiv sits down with Brianna Cyrus, Head of Education and Youth Programme at Action for Race Equality, to pull apart what imposter syndrome actually is when you factor in race, gender, class, and who society has historically decided is allowed to be credible. They talk about what it costs to be unable to be wrong, why confidence coaching places an unfair burden on the individual, and what it genuinely looks like to walk into a room and own it. If you've ever felt like you had to work twice as hard to earn half the credibility, this conversation names why. Topics covered: imposter syndrome and race, imposter syndrome and gender, structural inequality at work, confidence vs competence, not being allowed to be wrong, workplace discrimination, belonging in professional spaces, psychological safety Keywords: imposter syndrome women of colour, race and imposter syndrome, Brianna Cyrus, Sanjiv Sangha, You and You podcast, imposter syndrome explained, workplace belonging, structural racism at work, confidence and class, Action for Race Equality, personal development podcast UK, self-help podcast Black women, brown women podcast, inner weather season 1 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

S01 - E03 : Change: When the Ground Moves

Change isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it's the clocks going forward. A routine that quietly breaks. A rhythm you'd only just found, suddenly gone and with it, a version of yourself you hadn't realised you were holding onto. In this solo episode, Sanjiv explores why change so often feels unsafe even when it's neutral or good and why the nervous system reads disruption as threat before the mind has even registered what's happened. Using the seasons, bodily rhythms, and her own experience of a single missed hour unravelling weeks of careful work, she maps the universal cycle of settling, disruption, resistance, and eventually, adaptation. This episode asks: what are you actually holding onto when you resist change? And what might the disruption be showing you about where you've become rigid? Topics covered: nervous system and change, why we resist change, identity and routine, rhythm and regulation, seasonal metaphors, adapting to disruption, change and anxiety, internal safety Keywords: why change feels hard, fear of change, change and anxiety, nervous system disruption, You and You podcast, Sanjiv Sangha, personal development podcast, self-help for women UK, dealing with uncertainty, emotional resilience, inner weather season 1 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

#S01 - E02 : Anxiety & the Body Guest: Evelyn Brody

What if anxiety isn't a malfunction? What if it's information your body has been trying to send you for years? In this conversation, Sanjiv is joined by Evelyn Brody - economist, financial journalist and integrated body-based healer, to explore anxiety not as something to fix or medicate away, but as a signal worth listening to. They discuss the nervous system's survival logic, why the body holds onto what the mind has long moved past and what healing at a physical level actually looks and feels like. This episode sits at the heart of Season 1's theme: before we can build anything new in ourselves, we have to understand what the ground we're standing on is actually made of. If you've ever felt your body react before your mind caught up, struggled with sleep, sound sensitivity, or a cycle that just won't settle, this conversation will give you language for what's happening.
