Episode 6: Keeping a Gratitude Diary

I kept a gratitude diary for 2 years during my postnatal depression journey. Some days, all I could write was "I've put the laundry on today" – and that was enough.

I still keep one on my phone on an app called Presently as the lessons I learned have stayed with me. The practice genuinely changed the way I see the world, and I think it could do the same for you. 

In this episode, I'm explaining why keeping a gratitude diary is so powerful, how to get started (even if you're not a "journaling person"), and sharing prompts to help you when you get stuck.

3 reasons to keep a gratitude diary:

1. It helps you focus on the positive aspects of your day 
2. It puts things into perspective 
3. Looking back shows you how much you've achieved 

How to get started:

• Pen and paper vs phone – which is better?
• Why consistency is key, and why you might not notice a difference for while
• When to write (end of day vs morning)
• How long it takes to become a habit
• I also cover prompts to help when you're stuck

Perfect for: Anyone struggling with mental health, feeling overwhelmed, or wanting to shift their perspective.

Episode 4: Understanding Grief and the 7 Stages of Grief

Grief is one of the hardest experiences we face as humans, yet it's still so taboo to talk about openly. Whether you've lost a loved one, experienced a relationship breakdown, lost a beloved pet, faced redundancy, or struggled with infertility – grief shows up in so many ways.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the 7 stages of grief (according to bereavement charity Cruse), explaining why grief is so individual, and sharing how homeopathy and natural therapies can support you through this difficult time.

The 7 stages of grief:

1. Shock – 
2. Pain – 
3. Anger – 
4. Guilt – 
5. Depression – 
6. Longing – 
7. Other people's reactions – 

Why grief is individual:

• There's no right or wrong way to grieve
• Is time really a healer? (My honest thoughts on this)

How to support yourself or someone grieving:

• Where to find support (Cruse Bereavement Care, NHS counselling, support groups)

Homeopathic support for grief:

• Top remedies: Ignatia, Aurum met, Nat mur
• For shock: Arnica or Opium
• Bach Flower remedies (Star of Bethlehem, Walnut, Honeysuckle, Sweet Chestnut)
• How to match remedies to your specific symptoms

Resources mentioned: Cruse Bereavement Care (www.cruse.org.uk)

Perfect for: Anyone navigating grief or supporting someone who is.

Episode 1: My Journey Through IVF and Postnatal Depression

Welcome to the very first episode of Homeopath in Your Pocket! Before we dive into all the practical health advice in the coming weeks, I want you to know who I am and what I've been through. 

I'm Neela Prabhu – a licensed homeopath, former pharmacist with 26 years of healthcare experience, and mum of two girls. I understand the juggle of family life firsthand, and I'm here to support you.

New episodes drop every week with practical tips you can use TODAY to support your family's health naturally.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing two of the biggest challenges I've faced: my 10-year fertility journey and my battle with postnatal depression.

What you'll learn:

• My experience with 'unexplained' infertility and the emotional rollercoaster of IVF
• How complementary therapies (acupuncture, homeopathy, hair mineral analysis) supported my fertility journey
• What postnatal depression really looks like (and why it's so misunderstood)
• How I rebuilt myself after hitting rock bottom
• Why I'm so passionate about supporting women through their hardest times

If you're struggling with infertility, if you've experienced postnatal depression, or if you've ever felt completely alone in your health journey – this episode is for you.

I'm sharing this because I want to break the taboo around infertility and mental health. The more we talk about these things, the less power they have over us.

This podcast is for you if:

• You're a busy working mum juggling family, work, and health concerns
• You want natural, practical health solutions without the overwhelm
• You're tired of conflicting advice and want straightforward guidance
• You value experience-backed advice over trends
