    When you think you can't do it

    In this episode, we talk about the art of slowing down to learn better. From badminton drills to piano lessons to exam practice, I share how embracing slow, deliberate practice, immediate feedback, and honest self-correction can transform frustration into real growth. It’s a reminder that it’s the little things—like stopping to fix a mistake or practicing at a snail’s pace—that truly build mastery.

    How to make time your companion to growth and seize the day?

    This episode explores how easily time slips away when we procrastinate and choose comfort over action. It highlights the opportunity cost of wasted hours and urges us to embrace carpe diem—seizing each day intentionally by waking early, prioritizing important tasks, and making the most of our precious time.

    What focus on the controllables mean?

    What happens when you're five minutes late for boarding and thirty-five kilometers away from the airport? In this episode of Little Things, I share a real-time travel mishap that turned into a lesson on quick decisions, language barriers, and learning to control what you can. Sometimes, it's not about being early—it's about being ready.

    What we tell others is a letter to ourselves

    In this episode, we explore how our complaints, criticisms, and advice to others often reflect our own hidden struggles. Inspired by Carl Jung’s Shadow concept and everyday moments with family, I share how turning inward can reveal surprising truths about ourselves — and how embracing what we admire (or resist) in others helps us grow.

    Don't call a dream a dream

    What if the very word dream is what’s holding you back? In this reflective solo episode, we unpack the subtle yet powerful difference between a dream and a vision. Drawing from iconic figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, host Swetha explores why calling our goals "dreams" can sometimes create distance instead of drive — and how shifting to a mindset of vision and action can help us move forward with quiet purpose. ✨ If you're someone navigating ambition in a noisy world, this one's for you. 🎧 Tune in, slow down, and reconnect with your why — not for the world to see, but for the bridges you're building in silence. #SelfGrowth #Purpose #Motivation #DeepThoughts #MindsetShift #DreamVsVision #PodcastMonologue

    Focus on You, Magic Happens!

    A badminton match. A mindset shift. A quiet victory. In this episode, I reflect on how letting go of the need to win helped me truly show up—for the game, and for myself. A little story about flow, failure, and self-compassion.

    What is confident humility in leadership?

    What does turning left while paddling right teach us about leadership? In this episode, I share a SUP mishap that led to a powerful insight on confident humility — the ability to admit what you don’t know while still leading with strength. Inspired by Adam Grant’s wisdom, this is a reminder that the best leaders aren’t the ones with all the answers, but the ones willing to learn.
