Episode Shownotes

In this deep, contemplative episode of the Changepreneurs Podcast, hosts Vanitha Senkuruchi and Shrish sit down with Sriram Kalyanaraman—IIT & Harvard alumnus, former McKinsey consultant, meditation teacher, and transformation coach to founders and CXOs. Sriram shares his journey from chasing external success to living a life anchored in love, surrender, contentment, and service. The conversation moves through happiness, trauma, leadership, relationships, and the courage to say “I don’t know”—ending in shared silence.

Topics

00:00 – Introduction to Changepreneurs Podcast

02:58 – Sriram Kalyanaraman’s Journey of Transformation
Sriram introduces himself beyond his labels—father, partner, facilitator, seeker—and shares how he supports founders and leadership teams on personal transformation journeys rooted in self-awareness.

05:59 – The Shift from Control to Surrender
Sriram reflects on his core life shift: from controlling outcomes, status, and success to embracing surrender and contentment—letting life become a “dance” with grace rather than a battle for control.

08:57 – The Role of Love in Transformation
He reveals that the real force shaping his life is love—including a powerful contemplation on mortality that led him to ask whether his life was truly in service of others, not just personal success.

12:00 – Teaching Contentment to Young Minds
Sriram describes the “Happiness, Habits & Success” course at IIT Madras, how they invite students to define happiness and success for themselves, and a powerful in-class 2x2 exercise that reveals where students really stand.

17:54 – Defining Happiness

19:41 – Embracing Pain as a Gift
Sriram reframes trauma and pain as life’s “strange love language” that shapes our strengths. He shares childhood experiences of displacement, belonging, and how wise teachers helped him see pain as a gift rather than a curse.

24:48 – Understanding Surrender
The trio explores surrender: for Sriram, it is the knowing that unconditional love and grace are always present; for others, it shows up as assurance that “everything will be taken care of” or deep gratitude for being blessed.

29:43 – Navigating Relationships
Sriram reflects on relationships—from college ideas of “finding a partner” to the realization that relationships are spiritual mirrors. He talks about how they reveal our edges, trigger growth, and evolve our inner life.

34:26 – Facilitating Growth for C-Suite Executives
He shares how he works with founders and CXOs in off-sites and retreats: creating space away from the grind to ask big questions, have honest conversations, and reconnect with purpose, alignment and truth.

39:53 – Cultivating Attention and Embracing Tension

42:05 – The Power of Offsite Retreats
He explains why he insists on offsites, phones off, and at least one overnight stay—so sleep, environment, and unhurried time can support deeper processing and authentic connection.

43:16 – Key Themes for CEO Transformation
Sriram identifies the recurring themes in his work with leaders: unrealized potential, loss of meaning and magic, complex relationships, safe spaces to tell the unspoken truth, and a spiritual longing for awareness.

49:02 – Navigating the Unknown
The conversation lands on the power of “I don’t know.” Sriram shares how embracing not-knowing, sitting with difficult emotions, and working with the body opens access to deeper intelligence beyond quick answers.

57:19 – Unwinding and Finding Support
Sriram reveals where he goes when he needs support: family, his meditation mat, journaling, books that “call” to him, the felt presence of grace—and yes, sometimes, a Netflix couch.

59:43 – Reflections on Coaching and Self-Awareness

Episode summary 

In our first Hindi episode, Dr. Nisha Sharma walks us through her extraordinary journey from childhood intuition to a life devoted to astrology (Jyotish), Vastu, Reiki healing and past-life regression. This conversation reframes astrology as a guidance system — not fatalism — and connects practical remedies (color therapy, mantras, meditation) with karma, free will and everyday change. We also demystify common myths (Kaal Sarp, Manglik, Shukra-Mangal) and discuss how to find a trustworthy astrologer in the age of WhatsApp astrology.

What you’ll learn in this episode

• How Dr. Nisha’s childhood experiences, academics and spirituality converged into a career in Jyotish and healing.
• Why astrology should be treated as guidance to choose the right path, not as destiny stamped in stone.
• The role of free will vs. karmic tendencies — and how astrology can help you make better choices.
• Practical, non-mystical remedies: colors, gemstones, mantra, meditation, lifestyle and seva/charity.
• How to spot a trustworthy astrologer (intuition, experience, spiritual grounding).
• Debunking myths: Kaal Sarp Yog, Manglik stigma, Shukra-Mangal misconceptions, and the limits of quick app horoscopes.
• Real-life examples: accurate predictions, IVF success story and how small remedies + timing helped transform outcomes.

Key takeaways (bullet points)

• Astrology = guidance. Treat horoscopes and charts as a directional tool to choose among options, not as an absolute fate.
• Free will matters. Birth potentials are not limits; effort + timing + remedies shift outcomes.
• Remedies are practical. Colors, mantras, meditation, lifestyle changes and sincere seva have measurable psychological and energetic benefits.
• Find astrologers carefully. Look for spiritual grounding, experience, resonance with you, and ethical practice.
• Beware generic content. WhatsApp/YouTube horoscopes are generic; personal charts are unique — consult a skilled practitioner for life decisions.
• Myths need nuance. Labels like “Manglik” or “Kaal Sarp” are often misunderstood — context and chart details matter.

Episode summary

Dharshani shares her powerful journey from a child who began speaking late to becoming a TEDx speaker and transformational trainer.

Key highlights & memorable lines

• “Clarity doesn’t come before action — as you begin to walk, the way appears.”
• Dharshani’s unique teaching metaphor: wet ingredients = negative emotions, dry ingredients = positive emotions — mixing them becomes emotional intelligence through baking and art.
• Practical: celebrate small milestones, pick top 3–5 priorities, and reward yourself along the way.
• Daily health rules she stresses: early sleep (deep repair window), morning sunlight, hydration, whole foods, and a consistent routine.

3 Practical takeaways for listeners

1. Start small, stay consistent: pick 1–3 daily actions and make them non-negotiable — discipline beats motivation.
2. Use simple NLP tools: anchoring and reframing can change daily habits (e.g., bed = sleep, not phone).
3. Inner work first, image later: invest in emotional & psychological work before polishing external branding or appearance.
