Episode 7 - Can We Talk?

When you’re used to getting through things on your own, even asking for a little company can feel like asking too much. In the Season 1 finale of Beyond Rock Bottom, an imagined walk with a friend opens up a conversation about feeling like a burden and letting someone see how you’re really doing.

Episode 6 - 11:55 PM

We usually treat procrastination like a problem with discipline. But sometimes, it’s fear, shame, perfectionism, or the discomfort of facing what an unfinished task might say about us. In Episode 6, 11:55 PM, we explore how trust in our own word gets broken and how it can be rebuilt through promises small enough to keep. One push-up. One walk. One responsibility at a time.

Episode 5 - You Kept Yourself Alive

This episode is about learning to outgrow the method without shaming the need by taking responsibility for what survival cost without hating the person who survived. Through gaming, overachievement, humor, and hyper-independence, this episode explores the coping mechanisms that may hurt us now but once gave us relief, identity, and community.

Episode 4 - When Existing is the Work

In Episode 4, I reflect on losing structure during COVID, trying to keep up with Caltech from India, and measuring survival against the person I used to be. When Existing Is the Work explores disrupted routines, self-compassion, and a quieter kind of permission: not lowering the ceiling forever, but moving the floor close enough to stand on today. Content note: depression, burnout, disrupted sleep, and difficulty with basic self-care. This is a public episode.
