Why You Feel Anxious (And How to Fix It) Ft randileebowslaugh Aanya WellnessTurns out, “I’m fine” might be the least revealing sentence in the English language.What happens when the person everyone calls “strong” is quietly struggling?On We Are Listening, Pulkit Garg welcomes author and podcaster Randi-Lee Bowslaugh for a candid conversation about depression, anxiety, mental health stigma, and the courage it takes to ask for help.Randi-Lee opens up about experiencing depression as a teenager, long before she had the words to describe it. She shares how writing poetry helped her process overwhelming emotions, why she feared being judged, and how one observant coworker helped her take the first step toward therapy.But this conversation doesn't stop at personal recovery.Pulkit and Randi-Lee question how casually we use terms like anxiety and OCD, whether modern friendships offer the connection we need, and how teenagers can navigate comparison, pressure, and the feeling of never being enough.They also explore one of the hardest parts of loving someone: accepting that you can't make their choices for them.Randi-Lee discusses Goodbye Too Soon, her deeply personal book about losing her brother to a drug overdose, and reflects on grief, guilt, addiction, and emotional boundaries.Along the way, they talk about finding the right therapist, writing as an emotional outlet, and the underrated power of simply listening instead of rushing to fix things.At the heart of it all is Randi-Lee's powerful reminder:“I have depression, but depression doesn't have me.”Honest, thoughtful, and occasionally unexpectedly funny, this conversation offers something more useful than perfect answers: the courage to speak up, seek support, and make space for other people's stories.Press play. Someone around you might need a listener more than they need advice.Content note: This conversation includes discussions of depression, suicidal thoughts, addiction, overdose, and grief. ﻿Subscribe to "We Are Listening" for an enriching conversation that unveils the transformative potential of conscious breathing.

Why Do We Keep Repeating the Same Patterns in Life? | Pulkit Garg with Stephen Edwards Ever wondered why you keep meeting the same kind of people, facing similar challenges, or finding yourself stuck in the same situations, even when you desperately want things to change? What if the problem isn't your relationships or circumstances, but the patterns you keep repeating? In this thought-provoking episode of We Are Listening, Pulkit Garg sits down with Stephen Edwards to explore the hidden patterns that shape our lives, relationships, and emotional experiences. Together, they dive into how childhood experiences, unresolved trauma, and deeply rooted beliefs can influence the choices we make without us even realizing it. Stephen shares his perspective on why we often find ourselves repeating familiar experiences and how recognizing these patterns can be the first step towards meaningful change. He challenges us to look beyond blaming external circumstances and start reflecting on what our experiences might be teaching us. The conversation also explores a fascinating question: Why do we sometimes compete to prove that our pain is greater than someone else's? Stephen unpacks how society encourages comparison, victimhood, and the belief that our suffering defines us, sometimes making it harder to move forward. Pulkit and Stephen also discuss the importance of emotional awareness, personal responsibility, setting boundaries, and understanding when it's time to break free from unhealthy relationship cycles. They remind us that healing doesn't happen overnight, and recognizing a pattern doesn't mean accepting mistreatment or blaming ourselves for the pain we've experienced. Sometimes, the answers we seek don't arrive immediately. They emerge when we begin to see our experiences differently and become ready to make a change. Tune in to discover how understanding your patterns can help you build healthier relationships, learn from life's experiences, and create a different future for yourself. Because sometimes, changing your life begins with changing the pattern. Subscribe to "We Are Listening" for an enriching conversation that unveils the transformative potential of conscious breathing.

How to stop emotional spirals before they take over?

What if being “rich” had far less to do with your bank balance—and everything to do with how deeply alive, fulfilled, and energetically aligned you feel every single day? So many of us are taught to chase prosperity through productivity, sacrifice, and constant hustle. We build careers, care for families, show up for others, and keep pushing forward—often believing that exhaustion is simply the price of success. But what if burnout, emotional depletion, and feeling stuck are actually signs that something deeper needs healing? In this powerful conversation on We are Listening!, Pulkit Garg sits down with Jackie Cowie—mentor, healer, and oracular activist—to unpack what true prosperity really means beyond money. Jackie shares her profound wisdom on creating abundance not just financially, but through time freedom, emotional wellbeing, inner aliveness, and sustainable energy. Together, they dive into the survival loops that quietly sabotage growth—patterns rooted in fear, overgiving, guilt, nervous system overwhelm, and conditioning that often keeps people trapped in depletion instead of expansion. Jackie explores how these invisible cycles can shape the way we work, receive, rest, and build relationships. The conversation also takes a deeply human turn as they discuss the challenge of balancing family, personal wellbeing, and a larger life mission—without constantly sacrificing yourself in the process. For caregivers, entrepreneurs, high-achievers, and anyone trying to hold multiple responsibilities while staying emotionally grounded, this episode offers meaningful perspective and reflection. This isn’t just a conversation about wealth. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about learning how to honour your body, protect your energy, create healthier boundaries, and redefine success in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. If you’ve ever felt emotionally drained while trying to do it all, this episode may help you pause, reflect, and ask: What does true prosperity really look like for me?Tune in and listen deeply.

What does it take to rebuild your life after losing everything you worked for? In this deeply moving episode, we hear the story of Aaron “The Running Servant,” whose journey from extreme weight gain to becoming an ultra-runner is nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a simple decision to walk to work soon turned into a powerful transformation that helped him lose over 100 pounds and rediscover his strength. But just as life seemed to be moving in the right direction, Aaron’s world changed overnight when he survived a workplace shooting while saving his coworkers. The physical injuries, combined with PTSD and years of emotional and psychological battles, pushed him into one of the toughest chapters of his life. Yet, Aaron’s story is not about defeat it’s about resilience. In this conversation, he opens up about rebuilding his health, navigating trauma, and learning that fitness alone cannot heal the mind. True recovery, he explains, requires community, faith, mental health support, and the courage to keep moving forward even when the path is uncertain. Today, Aaron runs not just for himself but for a larger purpose, inspiring others to turn pain into purpose and reminding us that even the darkest moments can reveal the strength within us. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation does not begin with giant leaps it often starts with one small step. And remember: We Are Listening!

Truth about discpline

What if the most overworked organ in your body isn’t your brain but your eyes? Lights off. Screen on. One last reel before bed. One notification before sunrise. In this deeply relevant conversation, Pulkit Garg sits down with Dr. Priethikka M S, ophthalmologist and MBA candidate to explore how modern habits are quietly reshaping our vision, health, and even our organisational cultures. From debunking blue light myths to explaining why power numbers can vary between eye check-ups, Dr. Priethikka breaks down the science behind screen fatigue, dry eyes, accommodative strain, and why the 20-20 rule matters more than we think. She also highlights the overlooked danger of diabetic retinopathy — especially in a country often called the diabetes capital of the world. The conversation goes beyond individual habits and into systems — exploring the inspiring model of Aravind Eye Care, a 50-year-old institution built on the vision of making quality eye care affordable and accessible. From manufacturing lenses locally to redefining patient-first culture, Aravind becomes a case study in how values shape healthcare outcomes. The episode also connects diet, hydration, workplace culture, and preventive check-ups to long-term eye health — reminding us that healing begins in awareness, not crisis. If you’ve ever ignored dryness, dismissed fluctuating eye power, or scrolled in the dark this conversation might change the way you see health. Because at the end of the day, healing doesn’t begin in emergencies.It begins with noticing. And remember: We Are Listening!

Are Screens Destroying Your Eyes? Doctor Priethikka M.S. Explains the Truth

What happens when a simple headache search turns into a “worst-case diagnosis”? In today’s world of infinite information, the real challenge isn’t finding health content, it’s knowing what to trust, what to ignore, and what to take back to your doctor. In this episode, Pulkit sits down with Dr. Aparajita Praharaj De, who works at the intersection of science, clinical evidence, and digital healthcare communication. With a unique lens shaped by years as a clinician and her current work in medical affairs, Dr. Aparajita breaks down one big question in plain language: What exactly is “medical affairs,” and why does it matter more than ever post-COVID? Together, we explore how digitalization has improved access to medical information but also created an ocean of noise through social media, misinformation, and overconfident AI responses. Dr. Aparajita explains how medical affairs helps bridge the gap between clinical trial evidence and real-world clinician practice by simplifying complex data, supporting the design of studies, enabling peer-to-peer scientific dialogue, and helping clinicians stay aligned with evolving guidelines. We also dive into the idea of Human + AI partnership in healthcare: AI can be an enabler, a filter, and a reference point but it can’t replace clinical judgement. The real power lies in using AI responsibly, checking credible sources, and having open conversations with your doctor instead of self-diagnosing. This conversation is not medical advice, it’s a perspective-driven discussion to help you navigate healthcare more responsibly.

Google, AI & Your Doctor: Who Do You Trust? | Dr. Aparajita Praharaj De

What happens when life puts you in a position where doing the right thing feels emotionally impossible? In this episode of We Are Listening!, the conversation begins not with answers but with a dilemma. Inspired by the battlefield of the Mahabharat, where Arjun stands torn between duty and family, host Pulkit Garg and spiritual content creator Anshul Chuglani explore what this inner war looks like in modern life. From career uncertainty and family expectations to love, loss, faith, and fear this episode gently unpacks how ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita continues to speak to today’s emotional and mental struggles. Anshul shares his personal journey from a small town to content creation, his shift from humour to deeper spiritual reflection, and how “Gita for Life” was born not as a self-help formula, but as lived experience. Together, Pulkit and Anshul discuss why spirituality isn’t about escaping life, but learning how to stand firmly within it. The episode dives deep into questions many hesitate to ask:<ul><li>Is destiny already written, or does karma truly shape our future?</li><li>Does naam jap really transform life or is it misunderstood as a shortcut?</li><li>How do intention, patience, and preparation shape success especially when nothing seems to move?</li><li>What does acceptance mean in love, breakups, resentment, and new beginnings?</li></ul> Through stories of entrepreneurship, failure, waiting, faith, and surrender, the conversation reminds us that growth is rarely instant and that preparation is never wasted. The episode closes with a powerful reflection on introspection, mental health, and seeking support reminding listeners that healing doesn’t always come from having answers, but from being heard. If you’re navigating stress, anxiety, family pressure, or emotional confusion, this conversation might feel uncomfortably familiar and deeply grounding at the same time.

Healthspan, Testosterone & The New Age of Nutrition with Benjamin Richardson

What if the real problem in love isn’t lack of effort, it’s following the wrong playbook? In this energizing, no-fluff conversation, host Pulkit Garg (Founder, Aanya Wellness) sits down with Monica Tanner—RLT-trained Relationship Coach and host of Secrets of Happily Ever After: to challenge the clichés that quietly drain intimacy and joy. Monica calls marriage a “people-growing machine”—powerful, a little scary, and absolutely worth it. Together, we unpack why popular advice like “compromise,” “never go to bed angry,” “happy wife, happy life,” and “find someone who completes you” can backfire, leading to scorekeeping, resentment, and distance. Instead, Monica lays out how to shift from compromise to collaboration: getting curious about each other’s positions, naming real needs, and co-creating solutions neither partner could reach alone. Monica calls marriage a “people-growing machine.” Together, they explore:<ul><li>Why the idea that someone will complete you quietly sabotages real intimacy</li><li>How Bollywood, Hollywood, patriarchy, and “happy wife, happy life” have warped our expectations</li><li>The difference between compromise (often lazy, resentment-building) and collaboration (curious, courageous, co-creative)</li><li>How to move from scorekeeping and blame to “happy spouse, happy house”</li><li>Why it’s essential to talk about sexual expectations and compatibility — even in cultures where it’s taboo</li><li>What healthy, growth-oriented partnership looks like in arranged, love, and modern DINK-style marriages</li></ul> Whether you’re dating, newly married, or decades in, this episode offers mindset shifts and simple scripts to replace roommate syndrome with real connection. Expect humor, real-world examples, and a fresh vision of partnership where two whole people build a life that feels expansive—together. Guest bio: Monica Tanner is an RLT-trained Relationship Coach and author of Bad Marriage Advice. Through her podcast, coaching, and vibrant community, she helps couples ditch resentment and rebuild communication, connection, conflict resolution, and commitment.

What if the real problem in love isn’t lack of effort, it’s following the wrong playbook? In this energizing, no-fluff conversation, host Pulkit Garg (Founder, Aanya Wellness) sits down with Monica Tanner—RLT-trained Relationship Coach and host of Secrets of Happily Ever After: to challenge the clichés that quietly drain intimacy and joy.Monica calls marriage a “people-growing machine”—powerful, a little scary, and absolutely worth it. Together, we unpack why popular advice like “compromise,” “never go to bed angry,” “happy wife, happy life,” and “find someone who completes you” can backfire, leading to scorekeeping, resentment, and distance. Instead, Monica lays out how to shift from compromise to collaboration: getting curious about each other’s positions, naming real needs, and co-creating solutions neither partner could reach alone.Monica calls marriage a “people-growing machine.” Together, they explore:Why the idea that someone will complete you quietly sabotages real intimacyHow Bollywood, Hollywood, patriarchy, and “happy wife, happy life” have warped our expectationsThe difference between compromise (often lazy, resentment-building) and collaboration (curious, courageous, co-creative)How to move from scorekeeping and blame to “happy spouse, happy house”Why it’s essential to talk about sexual expectations and compatibility — even in cultures where it’s tabooWhat healthy, growth-oriented partnership looks like in arranged, love, and modern DINK-style marriagesWhether you’re dating, newly married, or decades in, this episode offers mindset shifts and simple scripts to replace roommate syndrome with real connection. Expect humor, real-world examples, and a fresh vision of partnership where two whole people build a life that feels expansive—together.Guest bio: Monica Tanner is an RLT-trained Relationship Coach and author of Bad Marriage Advice. Through her podcast, coaching, and vibrant community, she helps couples ditch resentment and rebuild communication, connection, conflict resolution, and commitment.Subscribe to "We Are Listening" for an enriching conversation that unveils the transformative potential of conscious breathing.
