    Money, Taxes & The Cost Of Compliance | CA Suraj Soni | The Human Thread 2026 | Full Episode 58

    Most people don’t have money problems - they have mindset problems disguised as money problems. In Episode 58 of The Human Thread, Finance Educator CA Suraj Soni uncovers the emotional patterns and childhood conditioning that silently shape how we earn, spend and save - often without our awareness. This episode explores how: Childhood money memories decide our lifelong financial confidence or fearFamily beliefs create internal blocks that limit growthEmotional reactions to markets destroy long-term wealthSalary hikes vanish into lifestyle inflation and comparisonSocial media fuels status spending and EMI trapsMisunderstanding EMI & BNPL leads to paying more for depreciating itemsCredit cards aren’t risky - undisciplined behaviour isTaxes are participation, not punishmentCash salaries weaken your financial identity and future opportunitiesMoney doesn’t change a person - it magnifies who they already are This conversation reminds us that financial freedom doesn’t start with income - it starts with self-awareness, discipline and breaking inherited patterns.

    Burnout to Balance: Rethinking Fitness | Drishti Chhabria | The Human Thread 2026 | Full Episode 56

    Fitness is often reduced to outcomes like weight loss, aesthetics, or pushing harder every day. In Episode 56 of The Human Thread, Drishti Chhabria, Founder & Chief Experience Officer at Orangetheory Fitness, reframes how we think about exercise by shifting the focus from intensity to intention. The conversation explores why understanding your “why” matters more than chasing goals, how heart-rate based training adapts to different bodies and life stages and why sustainable health comes from listening to your body rather than subscribing to a culture of “no pain, no gain.” This episode explores how: A clear “why” fuels motivation even on days you don’t feel like showing upHealth is a long-term asset, not a short-term goalThe five heart-rate zones guide smarter, safer and more effective workoutsFat loss, endurance and performance don’t require constant overexertionFitness goals evolve across life stages, from performance to longevityGroup environments enhance focus, consistency and enjoyment The conversation also highlights the power of training together how shared energy in group workouts mirrors the way we learn best in classrooms and communities. Whether you’re power walking, running, or lifting, heart-rate based training allows people of different ages and fitness levels to work side by side while still meeting their individual needs.

    Is AI making us smarter - or dependent? | Atul Yadav | The Human Thread| EP 55 | Full episode

    Artificial intelligence is often spoken about in extremes either as a revolutionary shortcut or a looming threat. But the reality, as this conversation reveals, is far more nuanced. AI is a tool that reflects not just our intentions, but also our thinking, our habits and our willingness to stay conscious in how we use it. In Episode 55 of The Human Thread, entrepreneur, creator and AI coach Atul Yadav explores how artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, think, decide and learn. From productivity and efficiency to data, decision-making and free will, this conversation examines how AI can support human potentialwithout replacing human agency. This episode explores how: • AI enhances productivity and reduces repetitive cognitive load • Data has become the new currency and why awareness matters • Over-dependence on tools can impact decision-making muscles • AI predicts behavior but does not eliminate free will • Continuous learning is becoming the most essential skill across industries Full Episode now streaming on YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music and other audio streaming platforms New episodes every Friday at 1 PM Follow us for more: Instagram:   / thehumanthread.podcast   YouTube:    / @thehumannthread   Facebook:   / thehumanthread   (The Human Thread, Season 4, Ashna Kalra, Atul Yadav, Artificial Intelligence, Productivity, AI Tools, Decision Making, Free Will, Learning, Technology & Society, Wellness Podcast)

    PTSD, Abuse & Long-Term Trauma Impact | Dr. Rohan Bokdawala | The Human Thread | EP 54 Full Episode

    Healing is often oversimplified as forgiveness or moving on. But for those living with trauma, especially PTSD, healing is a slow, layered process that cannot be rushed or prescribed.

From panic attacks and flashbacks to nightmares and sensory triggers, this episode unpacks why trauma resurfaces long after the event and why “letting go” is far more complex than it sounds. This episode explores how: Trauma imprints itself through visual and sensory memoryPTSD affects sleep, anxiety and everyday functioningAbuse is often hidden in plain sight within families and communitiesChildren struggle to identify abuse before emotional maturityEarly intervention by teachers, caregivers, and communities is criticalHealing requires safety, awareness and sustained support not shortcutsThis conversation is a reminder that trauma is real, healing is not linear, and listening without judgment can be life-changing.

    The Hidden Psychology of Energy, Patterns & Perception | Akriti Bhartia | EP 52 Full Episode

    Our subconscious patterns, emotional habits, and the energy we absorb often shape our lives far more than we realise. Many of us move through life carrying emotional residue without understanding where it comes from or how it affects our choices, relationships, and sense of self. In this episode of The Human Thread, emotional healing coach Akriti Bhartia unpacks why feeling good can sometimes feel unfamiliar, why we repeat patterns even when we know better, and how our perception, environment, and inner conditioning influence our emotional reality. The conversation gently explores concepts like emotional imprints, habitual energy drains, and how awareness can help us choose what we take in and what we let go of. In Episode 52, you’ll explore: • Why “I am not safe to feel good” is a common subconscious belief • Why awareness alone doesn’t always lead to change • How perception and habits shape emotional experiences • The impact of environments and routines on inner wellbeing • Why constant stress and emotional overload feel so draining • How greater awareness helps you respond instead of react This episode invites you to reflect, observe, and understand your inner patterns with compassion and clarity.
