‘The purpose of life is a life of purpose.’ Is a quote that our guest for this week’s Podcast lives by. In order to discover this purpose and work towards it, we need a healthy mind-body balance.

Sharing the journey of creating this balance for herself, Aparna Piramal Raje talks about how while important it is to be psychological well.

Accepting herself fully, she has been able to embrace her Second Act as a writer, columnist, public speaker and educator. Her latest book Chemical Khichdi is already a fan favorite.

Key highlights:

• Sensitivity, understanding and acceptance is what we all need to develop
• Therapy should be available to anyone who feels the need for it
• A therapist should be someone who puts your needs at the center
• Being psychologically unwell is not a part of someone’s personality
• Needing help should be normalized for all
• Mental health need to de-stigmatized within us, in order to create a more accepting environment around us
• Being mindful of your thoughts can help you understand yourself better
• Sharing your vulnerability, should not be seen as courage but as a part of life
• We need to be kinder to ourselves
• You can have a mental health condition and still live the life you want to live

Why should you listen to this podcast:

Being honest isn’t a sign of vulnerability or bravery, it is a reflection of our understanding of ourselves.

Can one truly be happy while trying to avoid the turmoil that stirs within? Not really, right? Then how do we deal with the emotions we might have bottled up?

It is questions like this that Aparna addresses in this Podcast. Encouraging everyone to look inward, while creating a safer space outside, her #SecondAct will motivate you to embrace yours.
