    Surrender, Not Giving Up: Miscarriage, IVF and Finding Your Path, with Ambica

    In this latest episode of Prim Rose Light, I am joined by Ambica. In this deep and raw episode we explore honestly, what happens when the life you planned stops following the plan? Ambica is a coach to founders, directors and operators navigating growth, pressure and change. Before coaching, she was the early-stage start-up operator who noticed problems before anyone else did. She built high-trust teams and brought order to chaos. Underneath it all, she was chasing money, status and success, until she realised much of that drive was anxiety. In this episode, Ambica talks openly about miscarriage and IVF, and about how she and her husband have each held onto themselves through it. She shares how she lives with uncertainty and why couples need to “get their team.” She also explains what The Surrender Experiment taught her about control. We explore: The difference between surrender and giving upHow ego, head and heart show up in our decisionsHow to give ourselves the acceptance others may notWhy she now works with cross-culture kids Ambica is a coach to founders, directors and operators going through moments of growth, pressure and change. Her clients describe her as having “a rare blend of empathy and warmth, with intellectual rigour and directness.” A former early-stage startup operator, she calls herself a cross-culture kid and a shameless optimist. She learnt the hard way that her relationship with herself was the most under-invested relationship of her life. She writes at withambica.substack.com.

    From Autopilot to Awakening: Dr Chetna Kang on the Mind's Hidden Rules

    Dr Chetna Kang is a consultant psychiatrist, thought leader, and executive member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Spirituality and Psychiatry group. A medical doctor trained at Imperial College London and an integrative adult psychiatrist with 27 years' experience, she bridges the science of mental health with spiritual models of care — drawing on 30 years as a theologian and practitioner in the Vedic tradition of Bhakti Yoga. A two-time finalist for the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Public Educator of the Year award, Dr Kang spent 15 years on BBC radio, presenting on Radio 4's Thought for the Day and the BBC World Service's World of Wisdom, and conceived and hosted Shrinkwrapped, a live BBC mental health and disability show, for three years. She's a regular voice across TV, print, and digital media, and speaks internationally at organisations including Intel, EY, Goldman Sachs, Accenture, Barclays, and the House of Commons. In this episode, Dr Kang joins Prim Rose Light to explore the subconscious mind, fear, love, and the difference between religion and spirituality — asking what it really means to grow in consciousness, not just behaviour. This is a deep and reflective episode and we hope you will tune in for more spiritual wisdom when we have Dr Kang rejoin us for a part 2 in due course. Connect with Dr Kang: @drchetnakang on Instagram, and on YouTube. Sending you all love and light Roshni x

    Breaking the Chains: Divorce, Identity, and Choosing Yourself

    Welcome back to Prim Rose Light, where we sit at the intersection of law, identity, culture, and ambition — and today's conversation lives right in the middle of all four. My guest is Bhavna Radia is a family lawyer, a mum of three, and the founder of Divorce Right. Bhavna's story starts somewhere a lot of us will recognise: growing up with expectations, with a "lane" she was meant to stay in, and a culture that doesn't always make space to question that. She stepped out of it and then went through her own divorce, which, even with a law degree behind her, was still frightening. It was that experience that showed her divorce was never just about legal advice and process. It's so much more than that. She kept coming back to one question: if divorce was this hard for her with the training, the language, the knowledge what must it be like for a woman with none of that, and no one to explain things in plain English? That question became her mission. Today, through her community platform Money Saving Divorce, Bhavna helps women protect themselves legally, financially, and emotionally — turning the most intimidating parts of divorce, disclosure, finances, court, negotiation, into something manageable. Her message to every woman who feels stuck is simple: you're not alone, you're not trapped, you have options, and you're going to be okay. As Marvin Mitchelson once said, "A divorce lawyer is a chameleon with a law book." Today, we're going to find out what that really means — and so much more, about breaking free, rebuilding, and choosing life on your own terms. Bhavna's story is a real and raw account and one of my favourite conversations to date on Prim Rose Light, so I truly hope you will smile, laugh and perhaps even cry along with me as we are transported to the very real story that she shares. I am so pleased that she is now sharing her story, embracing love and blended families and navigating this in a South Asian context, which brings its own cultural challenges and nuances. If anyone does need help navigating divorce and/or separation, noting the figures are now 1 in 2, please do reach out to Bhavna directly. She is so personable and wise in her approach. Happy to make an introduction as needed too. Sending you love and light, Roshni x

    Inside the AI Revolution: Trust, Legal tech & the Race to Keep Up

    In this episode of Prim Rose Light, I finally get a chance to talk more on AI. I was delighted to be joined by my friend AbbasKhan, a UK‑qualified solicitor turned legal tech leader who now runs the EMEA business for eBrevia — one of the world’s most widely used AI contract analytics tools. Outside of his day job, Abbas is also building Togii, a new compliance layer designed to help organisations safely harness any and allLLMs. We explore what it really feels like to work at theintersection of law, AI and transformation — the excitement, the responsibility, the pressure, and the human questions that sit underneath the technology. This episode isn't just for those in the legal profession as there are general principles which audiences may find interesting, but clearly, given both of us working either as lawyers or with lawyers, there is direct applicability to our fellow legal eagles. If anyone is interested in reaching out to Abbas to learn more about the eBrevia tool or indeed, Togii which is still in build mode, please do reach out to him on: akhan@ebrevia.com Sending you all love and light, Roshni x

    Root causes, real healing: A functional medicine journey from motherhood to medicine

    In this latest episode on Prim Rose Light, I was delighted to welcome Nishta Patel. Nishtha entered functional medicine not through trend or theory, but through lived experience. When her daughter was diagnosed with IBD at 14, she found herself searching for answers beyond symptom suppression. That search led her to functional medicine, where she trained formally and discovered a framework that aligned with her instinct to ask why the body behaves the way it does. Today she works with individuals facing complex gut andautoimmune conditions, combining clinical testing, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, stress physiology and nervous system support. As an Indian woman, she integrates the everyday Ayurvedic practices she grew up with whole spices,warm meals, ginger, cumin, circadian rhythm now understood through a scientific lens. Her work is grounded, compassionate and deeply practical.She believes healing is not about extremes but about consistent habits, reducing inflammation, supporting gut integrity and building resilience. Through her one‑to‑one practice and her retreats with Wellness Mommas, she creates spaces where people feel seen, supported and empowered. Find Nishtha at thegutexpert.com and on Instagram @thegutexpert_. Sending you love and light, Roshni x

    The space between us: On love, parenting and coming home to yourself with the beautiful dad and daughter duo, Pablo and Val.

    On this episode of Prim Rose Light, this particular episode is so close to my heart. I sat down with the wonderful Pablo and Valerie from @time.with.dad on Instagram — one of my absolute favourite accounts and honestly, if you haven't found them yet, please go now - I am confident you won't regret it. It is nothing short of exquisite, raw and vulnerable and I have cried watching them more times than I have realised but at least could admit! Pablo is a psychology-trained communicator and expert in human connection. He is launching his beautiful new Spanish-language Instagram channel, @tiempodeprofundizar, dedicated to helping people communicate more effectively and build deeper, more meaningful relationships. Valerie is an intuitive life coach, world traveller and numerologist, devoted to helping people reconnect with who they truly are. You can find her at valerietrench.com if you are keen to explore a numerology reading or coaching. Together we cover so much ground including love and what it really means to give and receive it, conscious parenting and raising daughters, the evolving relationship between parents and adult children, learning to trust your own voice over the noise of the world, emotional awareness, going inward and what a life truly well lived looks like. Val also shares what numerology has unlocked for her and it is fascinating. These are two of the most grounded, warm and genuinely wise people and I know and have met on my journey and I hope you are going to love this conversation as much as I did. Sending you all love, light and healing, Roshni x

    When Motherhood Breaks You Open: A Story of Healing, Awakening and Raising Children With Intention

    I want to say first off, that I am not the sort of content creator that will typically say everything is so amazing and wonderful and you have to check out XYZ. However, there is a time and a place to be bursting with excitement to share a real gem and this podcast episode, is truly that. It brings me heartfelt joy to welcome the wonderful🌸 Priya Munjal 🌸 This episode is one of the most powerful conversations ever recorded on Prim Rose Light. For me at least, it is a masterclass in conscious parenting, self-healing, identity reclamation, and the courage it takes to break generational cycles delivered through the lived experience of someone who has walked through profound loss and chosen to rise. Priya Munjal shares her extraordinary moving journey from being a high-achieving commercial lawyer navigatinggrief twice in the early years of her marriage, to becoming a young mother raising two children without motherly support, drowning in rage, overwhelm and self-blame, and how she rose anyway. Her story is one of turning pain into purpose, grief into wisdom, and motherhood into a spiritual awakening. I am sharing Priya's wonderful page on IG for anyone that wants to reach out and follow her for amazing tips and to learn more. She does offer support to parents and I know she is deeply committed to this work, so I am personally vouching for her excellence. IG:https://www.instagram.com/parentingwithpresence.priya/ and to book a discovery call: https://linktr.ee/parentingwithpresence?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnkfbfnK5KTwRbtW3kzVyuGzswjUCLbsiQTbKP2Rp0-zZtXXOzA_8X5J65t5Q_aem_JXjQjc68gFjuG5QLu4LS1A I really hope that this episode moves you as it did me and if you could please like and share this episode and follow Prim Rose Light, it would mean so much, as we continue to cultivate a conscious community.
