This week on Someone Like Us, we were thrilled to have a wonderfully candid and insightful chat with our dear friend, the brilliant Megha Kulshrestha. Megha joined us to share a truly unique perspective on modern partnership: how she successfully runs her marriage, with her husband, like a well-oiled start-up. Megha dove into the tangible, day-to-day mechanisms that keep their partnership strong and growth-oriented. We learned some incredibly simple yet powerful tips she uses to maintain a healthy marriage.

The discussion spanned the full spectrum of their shared life, from managing the most everyday things—like dividing household responsibilities and optimizing their weekly routines—to tackling the big-picture challenges.

If you've ever felt that managing a relationship requires the same level of strategic planning and commitment as building a business, this episode is for you.

Grief is something we all carry in one form or another. 

For some, it’s the loss of a loved one. 

For others, it’s the loss of home, identity, or even an older version of themselves. 

In this episode of Someone Like Us, we open up about the many shapes grief can take, especially while living abroad and navigating life’s transitions. We’re joined by Krittika Sharma — grief counselor, death meditation facilitator, and founder of Maajhi, a pioneering grief and death awareness platform. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of grief, healing, and wellbeing, Krittika shares how her personal journey reshaped her understanding of loss and how we can all learn to walk alongside grief instead of around it. 

This conversation is about presence, empathy, and finding meaning in life’s hardest moments. Whether you’re grieving a person, a place, or a version of yourself, we hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone.

Krittika Sharma — grief counselor, death meditation facilitator, and founder of Maajhi
