Feeling bad for others on the surface may seem like a natural, human emotion. We usually associate it with something you feel when you love and care about someone but when we love someone what we really want is the best for them, and “feeling b
In this episode, I dive into the often overlooked but game-changing factor in leadership and success: character. Drawing on something Adam Grant mentioned in a talk, I explore why, despite a flood of books on corporate culture, we still struggl
Let’s be honest, it's annoying when people misinterpret your intentions and don’t understand you on a deeper level. We all have those people in our life who just don't get you. I share my recent experience of someone turning my words into a mis
In this episode, I reflect on the misconceptions surrounding the Westernized, highly marketed idea of "meaning and purpose," drawing insights from a thought-provoking interview with Sadhguru. He challenges the modern narrative that suggests a l

In this episode, I talk about challenging family relationships and the pressure we often feel to achieve the ideal. I share my personal realization that not every family bond fits the conventional mold, and that's perfectly okay. Instead of mea
In this episode, I delve into how we judge people when we first meet them. We all have our criteria, whether we're aware of it or not. Do we like them because of how they make us feel in the moment, or can we see their true character beyond our

In this episode, I delve into the subtle yet crucial difference between positively influencing people's behavior and resorting to manipulation. Manipulation often stems from fear and ego. However, when we positively shape others' actions withou
In this episode, I talk about the intricate layers of our identity as individuals. I start with the concept of our "true self," free from ego and insecurities, and how it connects us to a shared humanity, and then go into the authentic personal
In this episode, I delve into the concept of transcending our ego, dismantling our walls, and letting go of competitiveness in our daily lives to view life through a collective lens. I share stories of individuals who have exemplified the power

In this episode, I dive into a thought-provoking debate I had with a friend about the blurred lines between self-care choices like dying your hair and more invasive procedures like Botox or plastic surgery. I question whether our actions always
I recently attended an Indian Broadway show where I noticed the audience's enthusiastic reaction to cheesy romantic lines, which contrasts with traditional stereotypes about Indian men. This observation prompted me to ponder the disconnect betw
Over the years, I’ve noticed a dynamic that seems to exist for many of us - those closest to us and who love us, sometimes annoy us the most. In this episode I unpack why this seems to be a thing for so many of us, these individuals’ purpose in
Making us feel validated through shared experiences is a great way to catch our attention but true change in our life happens when we focus on the issues that are most impactful to us in our life in this moment. Even if a psychologist were give
