In this reflective and heart-centered episode of My Yatra, Dr. Maneesha Asundi invites us to draw inspiration from autumn’s quiet wisdom. As leaves release themselves from branches without resistance, we too are called to let go—with grace, with trust, and without fear. Through her personal stories, poetic metaphors, and powerful spiritual teachings, Maneesha explores the emotional toll of overworking, overthinking, and clinging to identities, relationships, and outcomes that no longer serve us.

This episode guides listeners on a path from emotional exhaustion to inner alignment. It is a soulful reminder that we are not broken—we are simply burdened. And those burdens can be released. With the HABITS framework as a subtle undercurrent, Maneesha shows how transformation begins when we stop forcing and start flowing.
