Interview with Actor Vishak Nair

Having my cousin as a guest on my YouTube channel, for the very first time featuring a family member, felt incredibly special. Beyond being cousins, this conversation became an opportunity for me to truly get to know him as a person. We spoke about his emotions, grief, relationship with his wife, boundaries, career struggles, spiritual journey, male friendships, and the experiences that shaped the man he is today. More than learning about my cousin, I came away with a deeper understanding of how many men silently navigate these challenges.

Conversations like these remind us that vulnerability is not weakness. In fact, it often takes immense courage to be honest about our emotions. Vulnerability doesn't make a man less strong; it makes him stronger. I hope this episode gives you a fresh perspective and reminds you that there are men who are doing the inner work, choosing emotional honesty, and redefining what strength truly looks like.

An interview with Reba Daniel, Birth Doula

If you're preparing for pregnancy, or even if you're simply curious about what no one talks about after childbirth, this postpartum conversation is one of the most comprehensive discussions you can watch. Postpartum is often the most overlooked phase of a woman's life, even though it can be one of the most physically, emotionally, and psychologically transformative. In this conversation, we explore what really happens after birth, how family and society influence a mother's experience, what you can plan for in advance, and practical ways to reduce the risk of challenges like postpartum depression. We also share our own postpartum journeys -the lessons, the struggles, and what we wish every new parent knew beforehand. Joining me is Reba Daniel, my dear friend, mentor, and guide, who is also a birth doula and childbirth educator.

Together, we've packed this conversation with the kind of information we wish every expecting couple had before welcomed a baby.

Joined by Manifestation coach and Astrologer Katerina Folkman, we unpack some of the biggest myths surrounding astrology and why discernment matters so much in this space.

As Kat beautifully says, astrology is like math, just because someone gets the wrong answer doesn’t mean math itself is wrong. We discuss why it’s important not to form conclusions purely based on negative family experiences or fear-driven narratives, and why choosing the right astrologer matters deeply. At the same time, we also encourage people to do their own research, make their own observations, and approach astrology with awareness rather than blind dependence.

Today, many youngsters are turning to astrology during crossroads in life, for career guidance, money-related concerns, relationships, health issues, and moments of uncertainty. And that’s often when people begin exploring deeper questions about themselves and their lives.

Watch the episode and enjoy the conversation.

How do you teach a child to say NO when even adults struggle with it? In this episode, my daughter and I have a raw, honest conversation about boundaries in real life, not the perfect version, but the messy, emotional, learning-as-we-go version. We talk about:

• How she struggled to set boundaries with a bully
• Why saying “No” can feel uncomfortable and scary
• How introversion and extroversion affect the way we express boundaries
• The mistakes we’ve made (and what they taught us)
• Insights from the book Boundaries and how we apply them at home

This episode gives you a real glimpse into how boundary conversations can happen between a parent and child—naturally, imperfectly, and with growth over time. If you’re a parent trying to raise emotionally strong children or someone working on your own boundaries, this conversation will resonate deeply. Watch till the end. You might see yourself in this.

Children are naturally curious about the human body. It is how they learn, explore, and make sense of the world, including their own bodies and sometimes even those of their siblings or cousins. Many adults have had such experiences growing up, but never spoke about them.

Did you know that even a Hollywood movie showed this scene? I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when I first watched it, too!

In my latest podcast episode, I talk about why this curiosity happens, how to respond calmly as a parent or teacher, and what's the right way to guide children through it, without shame, fear, or overreaction.

Lots of tips for conscious parents and educators.

Watch the full video and share it with every parent you know. Let's create a generation that grows up with healthy body awareness and respect.

In this deeply personal and rare conversation, I sit down with celebrity wife, chef and influencer Sruthi Nakul as she opens up about her water birth experience — a part of motherhood that very few celebrities choose to share publicly. Shruti also speaks about breastfeeding both her children up to the age of four, including her honest journey with tandem feeding, offering inspiration to countless mothers who are navigating similar paths. A passionate advocate of gentle parenting, Shruti reflects on real, often unspoken aspects of postpartum life, motherhood, delayed weaning and emotional transitions after birth. This episode is a warm, grounded space for new and expecting mothers to feel seen, reassured and empowered — with practical insights you can carry into your own birthing and breastfeeding journey.

I had a beautiful, honest conversation with intimacy coach Pallavi Barnwal. We spoke about NoFap practices, self-pleasuring and what it really means, for both men and women. We explored how men and women experience intimacy differently, how porn has shaped desire and expectations, and where it starts impacting real connection. We also touched upon Tantra, female pleasure, expectation mismatches in relationships, why many women feel disconnected from their bodies, and how orgasms are often misunderstood or pressured. Yes, we even spoke about sex toys, their role, relevance, and where mindful use can turn into dependency. No extremes. No sides taken. Just a balanced, curious, and compassionate conversation about intimacy, desire, and awareness.

This one is for the men. I sat down with a Movement coach to explore something most men are never taught to think about—how your relationship with your own body directly shapes your intimacy, your mental health, and the way you show up in the bedroom.

We talk about:

Why are so many men disconnected from their own bodies

• How embodiment and movement practices can transform intimacy
• The nervous system and men’s emotional health
• The impact of porn on male sexual understanding
• How men treat women and why it’s deeply linked to how they treat themselves.

This conversation is raw, real, and necessary. 👉 If you’re a man, listen. 👉 If you have men in your life—share it with them. 👉 If you care about healthier relationships, discuss these ideas with your friends. It’s time men start working on their connection with their own body—for their own well-being and for the people they love. Go follow Jijo Manthara David, Movement Coach on Instagram!

This podcast is with Effath Yasmin, who is a lactation consultant and a Biodynamic Cranio Sacral (BCST) therapist who has worked with mothers and babies all her life, and she is also a filmmaker/author/trainer/therapist/flower medicine practitioner. Effath has spent her life working with mothers and babies. In this conversation, she opens up the often-unspoken layers of birth trauma—how vaginal births and C-sections can leave deep physical and emotional imprints on the mother, the baby, and the entire family ecosystem. We explore how these early experiences influence: ✨ breastfeeding ✨ bonding ✨ postpartum mental health ✨ nervous system regulation ✨ and the subtle undercurrents in family relationships. This is not just a “parenting conversation.” It is about the human experience of being born, the mother-baby dyad, and how early imprints echo through adulthood, identity, behaviour, and relationships. I genuinely invite men, women, parents, non-parents, mental health professionals, medical practitioners, and anyone interested in emotional wellness to watch this. It’s deep, layered, grounding, and sensitively held. I truly hope this episode brings you new perspectives, compassion, and understanding. Enjoy the conversation.
