  • In this video, Harish Iyer shares his inspiring story of turning childhood trauma into a superpower. Watch to learn how he overcame challenges and became a source of inspiration for many.

    👇 About the guest

    Harish Iyer, is a prominent Indian activist known for his advocacy for LGBT rights, child protection, and women's issues. He played a crucial role in the decriminalization of homosexuality in India and was involved in the Supreme Court's Section 377 case. A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Iyer has shared his story on platforms like Satyamev Jayate. Recognized globally for his activism, he continues to fight for social justice and equality.

    👇 Key Highlights

    ✅ Journey Through Trauma

    Harish's story begins with the devastating experience of sexual abuse that lasted from age 7 to 18. The trauma led him to multiple suic*de attempts, particularly after facing betrayal from a trusted friend. During these dark times, his pet dog Jimmy became his sole confidant and emotional anchor, providing unconditional support when he had no one else to turn to.

    ✅ Advocacy and Support

    As Harish began speaking about his experiences, his mother evolved from initial disbelief to become a strong advocate for male victims of abuse. A pivotal relationship developed through his correspondence with Maneka Gandhi, who consistently responded to his letters and helped him find purpose in life. This support system became instrumental in his journey from victim to survivor to activist.

    ✅ Path to Healing

    Harish's healing journey showcases remarkable transformation, where he channeled his pain into positive action. He made substantial philanthropic contributions to animal welfare causes, demonstrating his commitment to giving back. Perhaps most remarkably, he chose forgiveness over vengeance, even helping his abuser seek therapy - a powerful testament to his belief in breaking cycles of trauma.

    ✅ Impact and Legacy

    Harish's courage in sharing his story catalysed a broader movement, inspiring countless survivors across India to break their silence. His work received recognition from institutions like Axis Bank, and he expanded his influence into children's literature by contributing to books featuring queer heroes. His message emphasizes transforming hatred into healing and using personal struggles as stepping stones for positive change.

  • Transform stress & fear into growth with Vrindda Bhatt’s tips on healing & manifesting success.

    👇About the Guest

    Vrindda, a seasoned wellness coach with over 21 years in the fitness industry. She has trained Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kajol, and Madhuri Dixit.

    Though she started as a physical fitness expert, Vrindda now focuses on the powerful connection between the mind and body.

    She shares insights on happiness, manifestation, and overcoming mental barriers, offering practical techniques for achieving clarity and emotional balance

    👇 Top 5 Highlights

    ✅The Science of Happiness:

    Vrindda states that happiness is fundamentally about four brain chemicals—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. She emphasizes that while people often describe happiness as a beautiful feeling or euphoria, technically, it boils down to these four chemicals. Understanding this can help us train our brains to achieve true happiness.

    ✅The Essence of Manifestation:

    Vrindda explains that manifestation is all about aligning the energy of your thoughts, speech, and actions towards your desires. When these energies are in sync, she asserts, you naturally move in the direction of what you want. However, she cautions that it's crucial not to tie your happiness or self-worth to the outcome alone.

    ✅The '3-2-1 Flip' Technique for Thought Control:

    Vrindda introduces a powerful technique called the '3-2-1 Flip' for controlling negative thoughts. She advises that when you catch yourself in a negative thought, you should say '3, 2, 1, flip,' snap your fingers, and consciously think of the opposite. This technique, she states, can help you instantly shift your mindset.

    ✅The Importance of Clarity in Goal-Setting:

    Vrindda stresses that clarity is the first step in successful manifestation. She notes that you need to be clear about what you want from this beautiful life experience. With clarity, she believes, you can work towards your goals more effectively and avoid unnecessary suffering.

    ✅Overcoming Fear and Anxiety:

    Vrindda points out that fear and anxiety are the biggest drains on your manifestation power. These emotions, she asserts, can hold you back from achieving your desires. To overcome these barriers, she offers specific techniques in her workshops that help people heal their energies and move forward with confidence.

Krish Ashok breaks down common misconceptions and offers a fresh perspective on traditional diets, modern cooking and MSG conspiracy, revealing what they want you to know about this controversial ingredient. Tune in for the truth!👇 About the Guest Krish Ashok is not your typical chef or scientist, yet he excels in both fields. As a software engineer by profession, he brings his analytical mindset to the kitchen, where he learned to cook from the women in his family. His approach to cooking and nutrition is grounded in the scientific method, but without the elitism often associated with it. Instead, Krish embraces curiosity and experimentation, always ready to say, "I don't know, let me test it for myself.👇 Key Takeaways✅ Misconceptions about traditional Indian diets: Krish Ashok emphasizes that many Indians are suffering from protein malnutrition and diabetes, not due to Western foods, but because of imbalances in traditional diets. There's a need to adapt eating habits based on scientific evidence rather than blindly following ancient traditions.✅ The importance of home-cooked meals: He introduces a new classification of foods, suggesting that all home-cooked meals should be considered "satvic" (beneficial), regardless of ingredients.

Krish Ashok argues that the fear of MSG is often baseless and rooted in cultural biases.✅ The role of fermented foods in gut health: The podcast highlights the importance of fermented foods for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. It explains how traditional Indian fermented foods like yogurt (dahi) can be beneficial for overall health.✅ Genetic factors in health and nutrition: Krish emphasizes that a significant portion of our health is determined by genetics, not just diet.
