It happens so often in today's world that the demons within find a way to start reflecting outwards.
Dr. Rupa Rao-Nayak, a certified homeopath, counsellor, and therapist, says that we must remind ourselves that \"it's okay to not be okay.\"
In this episode of the Between us Podcast, we cover a very important and a very evident theme - Mental Health, the role it plays in a fulfilling life, the hurdles one must cross to cope with stressors, and the things to keep in mind, and mindfulness.
Gen-Z and their corresponding value systems have become the talk of the town lately.

The ability to dream and aspire is perhaps the most profound human experience, but is there a right age or right to dream?
What if a doctor dreamed of becoming a fashion designer even after having dedicated over a decade of their life to attaining multiple medical degrees and on-hand experience saving lives? Is the dream of completely changing your career in the middle of your life a realistic one? It certainly was for Dr. Avanti Purohit.
In this episode of the Between us Podcast, we learn from a dreamer herself what her journey has been, navigating the complications and challenges that accompany making your dreams come true.

While navigating this life and universe, the unfulfillment of our desires and wants is the primary reason for discontent.
Connections matter.
They allow us to connect with others, share our thoughts and feelings, and learn from each other.
But there's something missing? What if there's no spark, no connection, no magic?
That's where we come in. We create meaningful and impactful conversations. We listen actively, ask insightful questions, and share our thoughts in a way that is engaging.
Let’s Start a conversation “BETWEEN US”!!!

I’ve always believed that meaningful conversations have the power to change the way we see the world, and each other.
Born in Calcutta, I grew up surrounded by stories and voices…
Along the way, I wore many hats; sales leader, account manager, project lead, culture carrier, from setting up our U.S. office in Atlanta to bridging clients and cross-border teams. But no matter the role, the mission was always the same: helping people connect better, deeper, and more meaningfully.
That spirit now lives in Between Us, Make Every Conversation Count™, a podcast that brings together voices from across sectors and walks of life to explore what truly matters: mental health, sustainability, entrepreneurship, healthcare, identity, and hope.
As host and producer, I don’t chase headlines, I hold space.
For stories that go deeper. For moments that stay. For people making sense of the world, together.
Because in the end, it’s not about spotlighting loud voices.
It’s about hearing the ones that often go unheard.
If you care about storytelling, community, and change… welcome.
Let’s make every conversation count
