Welcome to the last episode of Season 1! For this episode, I chat with psychotherapist and mental health awareness advocate - Avanti Malhotra about burnout, compassion fatigue, and 'self care'.

I had this conversation with Neysa Mendes, a few months ago in my studio, and I loved touching upon the challenges around converting hobbies, side-hustles and things we call our passion-projects into full blown careers.

I recorded this on Misha’s living room floor a few months ago, and my favourite take away was how to catch yourself if you’re thinking of ‘giving up’ or considering throwing in the towel. She talks about validation, appreciation, and finding ways to push past the doubt and share your work with the world.. ‘even if it isn’t the next Michel Gondry’

This was the very first interview I recorded for this podcast! Writer-producer-director with over a decade of experience in film-making - Shreeda Patel, speaks about the importance of sharing our work, even when our convictions are low.  I  especially loved what she said about the importance of savouring our painful experiences, metabolising them into creative expression, and accepting all the parts and colours of ourselves - even our darker shades.
