The 6 Basic Human Needs – Why You Do What You Do (and How to Shift It) Ep 115 Have you ever wondered why you make the choices you do—or why certain patterns keep repeating in your life? In this episode we break down Tony Robbins’ 6 Basic Human Needs—a framework I’ve personally revisited for years—and explore how your top two needs shape your decisions, behaviors, and the results you’re creating.

By tuning in, you’ll discover how understanding your needs can help you: Stop self-sabotage and unconscious patternsLead yourself with curiosity instead of judgmentAlign your next actions with what will truly elevate your life The needs that got you here may not be the ones that you want to drive you forward.

    What Consistency Looks Like Right Now Ep 114

    This is a catch-up, with context. I’m recording from Vietnam, and in this week’s episode I’m talking about how this two-month adventure came to be. I’m also sharing what January has actually looked like day to day. My routine. What I’m investing in. How I’m eating. What I’m reading. How I’m sleeping (my Oura Ring has opinions). And what’s genuinely supporting me right now. I also share some real-life setbacks, and what that’s required of Steph and me, and what I’ve noticed about support, rest, and emotional reactivity when we actually take care of ourselves. We get into: Why we chose Vietnam and why this setup works for usHow environment affects energy, work, and well-beingMy current routine, and why it’s different to previous yearsWhy my body feels so good right nowWhat my Oura Ring is showing me about stress, rest, and sleepThe judgement I’ve been carrying around rest and television and what the data says instead I also get into consistency, my word of the year, and walk you through exactly what I’m tracking right now, and why it matters to me more than intensity or extremes. Consistency isn’t about rigidity anymore. It’s about staying aligned, even when location, constraints, and energy change. What’s been most interesting isn’t any single habit. It’s what tracking shows me when I stay curious instead of judgemental. If you need a nudge to pay attention to what’s actually supporting you — because that’s where the insight is — this episode is for you. With love, Kaya

    A Slow Start to 2026: The Lunar New Year Reframe Ep 113

    I’ve had a slower start to 2026. Not because I’m stuck. Not because I’m avoiding things. And not because something’s gone wrong. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what happens when you stop forcing momentum in January and allow things to breathe — and why I’ve found the Lunar New Year a much more spacious way to begin. I talk about the pressure to “hit the ground running,” and how quickly that sprint mentality turns into self-judgement and the feeling that you’re already behind. We explore: Why a slow start isn’t failureThe difference between what you’re doing and who you’re beingWhat 2025 really taught me about letting goWhy consistency beats intensity (and extremes) every timeWhy comfort creates stagnation This isn’t a planning episode in the traditional sense. It’s about noticing your own rhythm. Letting go of comparison. And choosing a way of living that actually supports you.

    The Daily 1-Minute Check-In Ep 112

    Every December, the same cycle starts. We make grand plans for a new year, set big goals, and declare that “this year will be different.” But most people find themselves in the same place 12 months later. In this episode, I’m cutting through the noise and sharing what actually creates real, lasting change — and it’s probably not what you think. 🔸 It’s not more willpower. 🔸 It’s not another planner. 🔸 It’s not a new goal. It’s your self-image — and whether or not it aligns with the outcomes you say you want. Here’s what I break down: ✅ Why goals don’t work (but habits do) ✅ The science behind self-image and how it drives all behavior ✅ How to build a new identity through micro-habits ✅ Real examples from my own routines (walks, skincare, morning check-ins) ✅ A 1-minute daily practice to reconnect to your values and create clarity ✅ How to set yourself up for success before January even begins This episode is part training, part real talk. If you’re ready to stop circling the same old goals and start building the identity of someone who follows through — listen now. #MentalFitness #SelfImage #DailyHabits #NewYearPlanning #PersonalGrowth #Discipline #Clarity #IntentionalLiving

    The Reset: Solitude, Time Apart & Adventure Ep 111

    In this classic catch up episode, I’m sharing a life update from Japan. And a chapter that’s been one big reset for both me and my husband. We spent weeks apart and it gave each of us space to breathe, re-calibrate and reconnect with ourselves in unexpected ways. I talk about what solitude showed me: my energy, my patterns, my tendencies to “perform,” even when I’m alone. I share the joy of friendship, the lightness that comes with good company, and the power of being around people whose season of life matches your own. I also dive into boundaries (the simple, uncomfortable ones we all avoid), the influence of other people’s energy, the routines that ground me here in Japan, and why changing your environment can shift everything. Especially when you’re carrying grief, depression or the weight of life. And because it’s me… there’s also a story about stickler meltdowns, boiled eggs, gluten-free bento boxes and my first experience with Botox. In This Episode, I Cover:How time apart created an unexpected emotional resetWhat solitude can reveal about your energy, patterns, and identityNavigating grief while building a life you loveBoundaries in relationships (the small ones that matter!)How other people’s energy shapes your ownThe routines and rituals supporting me in JapanA real-life example of saboteur contagion (stickler edition)And yes… my honest update on getting Botox for the first time Key TakeawaysSolitude gives you data you can’t access when you’re performing for othersA reset often begins with a change of environmentProtecting your morning energy mattersNourishing friendships can shift your internal stateYou can hold grief and joy at the same timeBoundaries are a form of clarity, not conflict You can find more resources and information on my website: kayaramjee.com

    How to Rebound Fast When You’ve Slipped, Stalled, or Spiralled Ep 110

    In this episode, I’m talking about the skill that matters more than consistency: your rebound. I break down how slipping off track triggers the usual saboteur THINKING patterns — the Judge, Stickler, Hyper-Achiever, Avoider and more — and how to recognise them before they pull you into a spiral. I share how I used the Sage power of Activate this week (while jet lagged, depleted, and very much off track) to get myself moving again with calm, clearheaded, laser-focused action. And I’ll walk you through the simple process I use with my clients and in my own life to reset quickly, even when you feel behind, overwhelmed, or full of self-doubt. In This Episode:Why perfection drains you and keeps you stuckHow saboteur chatter shows up the moment you fall behindThe power of identifying one small stepHow I rebound when I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, or in a spiralA simple embodiment cue to get into calm, clearheaded actionHow anticipating your patterns helps you stay on track Key TakeawaysFalling behind is normal.

    Motherhood, Burnout & Gut Healing: Breaking the Cycle of Depletion Ep 109

    This one is personal. In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with my former co-host and dear friend, Pia for a conversation that goes beyond wellness trends — and into the reality of burnout, chronic anxiety, postnatal depletion, and how healing the gut became a path to reclaiming health, motherhood, and identity. We talk about the systems that are failing women, the inconvenient truths about convenience culture, and the radical changes required when your body — or your child’s — is in crisis. From fermented foods and slow-cooked stews to saying no to hustle culture, this is a reclamation story — of health, motherhood, and self-worth. In this episode:What postnatal depletion and chronic fatigue really look likeThe connection between gut health, anxiety, skin issues, and burnoutWhy so many women live in a state of depletion without even realizing itThe hidden cost of “bouncing back” after birthHow Pia’s child’s illness became the catalyst for her own healingThe truth about convenience cultureHow to start healing your gut (and your child’s) with foodThe link between autoimmune conditions, women's health, and generational depletionWhy animal fat is not the enemy — and might be your body's best friendChoosing presence over perfection, nourishment over noise Key Questions to Ask Yourself:What beliefs about success are keeping me in burnout?What does nourishment really look like in my life? Your Next Steps:Choose real food over fast fixesQuestion the systems and norms you’ve inheritedLet go of performance — in motherhood, work, and healingMake your kitchen your medicine cabinetRemember: You are already enough. For information and resources, check out kayaramjee.com. And if this episode moved you — share it with someone who needs to hear: You’re not broken. You’re depleted. And you can heal.
