This episode was an absolute eye-opener for me, as is every interaction of mine with Piyush. He is a friend, family, and guide, quite literally. And also a growth marketeer, artist, and podcaster who has made his mark in live theatre and even commercial ads.  Listening to him, coming from a conventional family like most of us, will really give you insights on how to lead your life one tiny step at a time, towards any direction that feels best to you, and still moving forward. Because apparently, that's the only way: forward. Enjoy this chat among the brother-sister duo where we both continue to learn from and inspire each other and seek to keep doing so.

The color of our hearts is the same irrespective of how we look on the outside. But do all of us realize this? Hear from the mouth of Megha Mukim, a survivor of society's way of looking at people who don't look "normal". Vitiligo is a condition where white spots start to develop on the skin and I think most of us have seen that with someone around us. But did we give a teeny thought about how they would feel when we looked at them differently? Are the spots on their body or in our hearts? We happen to be a victim of such mentality quite often and end up doing the same with our future generations too, not realizing what we are making of them and how unkind we are becoming in the process. While the truth may be that even if we are the majority, we might be the odd ones out. Because to be human is to be loving, accepting, and including of all shapes, sizes, colors, and diversities. So look beyond the looks and hear how to do it from Mukim - the sassy amazing brown and white girl from Canada.

God made us in different shapes and sizes and somehow we even found a superior standard in that. Eventually making the ones who didn't fit into those standards of shape, size and beauty were the misfits. And this is something every other person in our life has faced at some point or the other. Leading to unpleasant memories and insecure lives.  But some people, like our guest in this episode, found a way around to make an amazing life for herself full of things that she loves to do. I guess there is a lot that we can learn from her journey. I sure had quite a few takeaways. So, go ahead and listen to her story of struggle, fight, and victory.

How hard do we struggle to always be the hero, the righteous, courageous, loved rockstars...And then when we fail, we really start questioning our own self-worth, questioning everything around us. Is it even worth it if we are not right? If this question makes you think and hits a chord, listen to this amazingly in-depth conversation with Vinayak Prabhu, my college batchmate, who is now settled in the USA. You will hear the heaviness of voice, the lightness of laughter, philosophy, and history all in one podcast. And I hope you will relate to him and find some answers to your own life's story.  P.S. I did not edit this episode and kept it raw for you to experience the purity of thoughts and ideas. Hope its worth the listen.

When we can't accept ourselves for our size, for our birth, for our stepparents, for our childhood experiences, and for many other situations that are beyond our control, we tend to give up. Asking WHY ME...!! At such points, we have experiences and awakenings that comfort us and walk us forward. And suddenly, knowing & accepting ourselves as a part of a bigger whole, a God, energy, a bigger space, makes us feel loved and accepted. Such is the journey of our very own business coach, Precious Moments. Listen to this episode for some goosebumps and profound realizations. And also some reality checks. You might not agree to some of it, and that's okay. Choose to disagree with the process, because you are anyway going to find your unique path. But take a moment to appreciate the strength and resilience of this wonderful lady. Because to reach the end, you need to have one thing for sure, and that is courage. And Precious is a living example of that.

We are perfect as we are. But growing up, we develop layers of conditioning as we keep growing up and think that something about us needs to change for us to be happy, successful, fulfilled, satisfied in our lives. While all that is required is to remove those layers and get back home to us, our heart, our unique self. And that's what we talk about in this episode. Clee is a life coach, friend, and my absolute love who has reinvented her way of life-coaching and doing business, something that works for her. She doesn't go by the conventional practices and chooses to stand tall by what feels RATIONAL to her. A misfit in business and her life, she shares her journey of how it actually hurt her to be different and how she evolved from that hurt to find her unique self. Go ahead and listen to her heartfelt story and feelings and how she designed a life that feels good to her.

Obviously, I am a rational misfit too...and I bring to you other such people from around the world to share their stories. Stay tuned for Episode 1.
