In this thoughtful episode of The Dharmic Life Podcast, Palak and Akshara unpack a timely theme: our environment - what we eat, what we watch, and whom we spend time with - silently shapes who we become. Starting with a relatable story about kids and morning routines, they discuss the power of mindful consumption: how swapping junk for wholesome food (and curated, uplifting media) helps steady our energy and focus. 

They move from everyday examples into spiritual guidance: small daily practices like listening to spiritual discourses in the morning, pausing before scolding, and journaling gratitude can shift our internal narratives. The hosts also explain social contagion - how moods and habits spread - with stories from the Rāmāyaṇ and reminders from the Satsang Dīkshā on nonviolence in thought and speech. By intentionally choosing what we let in, who we keep close, and the stories we tell ourselves, listeners can cultivate inner calm, stronger relationships, and spiritual resilience.
