The Values Workshop

We discuss relationships, the values which help sustain us individually as well as our rapport with people around us. We talk about learning to live within a marriage or any relationship, the adjustments required and the particular mindset with which this couple approaches difference of opinion while supporting each other. A present-day kind of problem-solution approach is spoken about with some well-earned practical wisdom. A superb chat comes to an end with this part. Do listen in.

Challenges are difficult to face often, especially when the mind is in a dark space. Even people closest to us might not understand at times, why we struggle with the things we do. We discuss a serious subject but in a light, everyday manner. This leads to understanding the problem better and also offers hope in practical actions. A great chat, this second part.

In this conversation, we chat about the pressure to be someone, how to  handle failure, running after material dreams with a couple from the IT  industry. Interesting perspectives are shared by both, and lead to a  practical everyday understanding of the struggles faced by most of us  today. An insightful discussion, this. Check it out.

Coming of age is often seen as a positive phrase, but here we have a  teen who speaks his mind and we gain a new perspective on it. He talks  about the pressure academic success puts on this current generation and  his own struggle to live up to his chosen values. A wonderful look into a  teen's mind. Do check it out.

We sound wise when we are in a good position, but the moment challenges appear, we are back to our fragile ways of reacting. In this part, our  guest discusses a particularly difficult episode, and we don't leave it  at the story. We go deeper in to the mind state and see the change -  from fear to calm, being a conscious choice. What a wonderful end to a  superlative chat. Don't miss it.

In this episode we are back with Sujatha, who was the co-creator of the  initial podcasts. She is now into counselling, trying to give back to  society. She has always been uninhibited in her expression, and here she  talks about understanding the death of a loved one, and how it pushed  her into a journey of self-discovery. It has been a tough task making  peace with her grief. A worthy path, if I may say so. Do check it  yourself. It is definitely worth your time.

Our guest is a photographer who has an interesting journey so far. He  has recently ventured into teaching photography. His matter-of-fact  answers belie the wisdom and practical world-view he brings to his  thinking. We also learn how a professional journey requires different  approaches and a deeper understanding of one's own standing and  limitations and how the market shapes our progress. A wise head on these  young shoulders, indeed. Don't miss this wonderful conversation. For more conversations, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

One of our most spiritual conversations yet, this chat is in a way a step-by-step guide to self-growth from a vulnerable position. Our guest opens up without inhibitions talking about the setbacks, her moments of clarity and hard-earned wisdom, and the reasons she could reach those depths within herself. What a journey, what a conversation. Unmissable, if you were to ask me. For more conversations, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

'Most times I feel a little lost.' That is how our guest answers his  first question describing himself. He is a charming, intelligent and a  passionate guest who describes his state of mind, his inability to stand  injustice of any kind, his struggle as an empath and much more, including talking about a book all of us must read, as well as some of his strong feelings about the state of the world.

What are the questions I will ask this particular guest of mine, mind-reader of sorts that she is? This question ran in my mind many a time, till our schedules matched for this episode to happen. Going impromptu, I have at best, the first question in my mind, a conversation starter so to speak. This freewheeling conversation with someone who weighs her words carefully and uses them with strong intent to convey a meaning beyond them, turned out to be much more interesting than I thought. Don't miss this one. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop
