    Episode 87 | Meet the Effortless Healing Companion: A Listening Space for Women in Overwhelm

    Send a text  In this episode, we explore the power of listening to your body—rather than following rigid protocols—and how this simple shift can unlock deeper healing. Tune in for a compassionate perspective on healing, where simplicity, safety, and self-trust lead the way.   Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the advice and protocols thrown your way, yet still wondering if they’re actually helping you heal? You’ve tried everything—new protocols, supplements, diets, and yet your body still feels unheard. There’s a constant push to “do more” when what you really need is a space to just be.  Trying harder hasn’t worked because your body isn’t broken; it’s simply overwhelmed. The pressure to constantly perform can shut down your body’s natural wisdom. This episode introduces the concept of Effortless Healing™, where we prioritize listening over fixing, and simplicity over hustle. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: A shift in perspective: Why doing less might actually give you more healing.How to listen to your body with compassion, not criticism.The power of pausing: How stepping back can move you forward.How to reduce pressure and amplify clarity—without adding more tasks.Healing doesn’t have to be a constant race or a checklist to complete. By listening to your body and trusting its rhythms, you can ease into a gentler, more effective healing journey. If you’ve been trying to “fix” your symptoms with more diets, more supplements, or more willpower… pause. Your body is already speaking. You may just need a gentler way to listen. Take this first step toward reconnecting with your body and experiencing healing from the inside out. If this episode gave you even 2% relief, don’t go looking for a bigger plan.

    EP086 | Overcoming Chronic Illness: How Palak Garg Transformed Her Health with Body-Led Healing

    Send a text In this episode, Palak shares her transformative journey from chronic health struggles to becoming a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. With Anindita's guidance, she reclaimed her health, confidence, and purpose, inspiring women to trust their own healing process.  What would it take for you to trust your body again, especially after years of feeling lost or stuck in your healing journey?  Many women struggling with chronic illness feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, multiple protocols, and a constant sense of uncertainty. You're likely stuck in a cycle of trying harder, pushing through, and hoping for relief, but instead, you feel more exhausted and disconnected from your body than ever.  The pressure to fix everything with more willpower, more supplements, or more discipline can quietly turn healing into another form of burnout. As Palak shares in this conversation, healing didn’t come from doing more—it came from listening. From taking small, grounded steps. From learning to trust the process instead of trying to control every outcome. Healing is not about forcing results.  It’s about reconnecting with your body’s wisdom. Healing is about aligning with your body’s wisdom, not forcing a result. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: Why trusting your body is the key to healing—without more hustle or protocolsHow small habits and mindset shifts can lead to big transformationsThe importance of starting where you are—without waiting for the "perfect" momentWhy acknowledging your progress is essential to moving forwardHow having a coach to guide you in a partnership of trust can change everythingYou are not broken.  You are not behind.  And you are not alone. Your next step—however small—can still be powerful.

    EP080 | Healing Through Simplicity: How Naila Broke the Cycle of Chronic Illness and Reclaimed Her Life

    Send a text Most women living with chronic illness are doing everything “right” — the diets, the supplements, the tests and still don’t feel better.  Naila was one of them. In this powerful conversation, Naila Mahmood shares her deeply personal journey through breast cancer (twice), autoimmunity, years of steroid medication, flare-ups, exhaustion, and the emotional toll of living in a body that feels unpredictable. She had tried it all, Functional Medicine, naturopaths across continents, strict diets, endless supplements.  But nothing truly shifted until she found a simpler way to heal. Through our work together, Naila discovered something many women overlook: Healing isn’t about doing more.  It’s about listening more. In this episode, she opens up about: • Why strict protocols didn’t work — and what finally did  • The mindset shift that helped her stop fighting her body  • How she reduced medication and minimized flare-ups  • Healing within real-life constraints: culture, food availability, energy levels  • Why awareness—not perfection—is the true turning point  • The emotional journey of rebuilding trust with her body  • How community and connection sped up her healing Naila's story is a testament to what becomes possible when women stop chasing protocols and begin reconnecting with their own wisdom. This is healing without the hustle.  This is Effortless Healing™ in practice.  A reminder that even after decades of illness, your body is not your enemy and it has not given up on you. Whether you’re navigating your own autoimmune journey or supporting a loved one, this conversation will bring you hope, grounding, and a new way to see what’s possible. Listen in and remember: healing doesn’t require perfection — just presence.

    EP079 | From Burnout to Body Wisdom: Sonali’s Autoimmune Healing Breakthrough

    Send a text In today’s deeply moving conversation, I’m joined by Sonali Patranabish, a former client whose journey captures the heart of what Effortless Healing™ truly means. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed, or stuck in a loop of symptoms that don’t make sense… this episode is going to speak directly to you. Sonali opens up about the years she spent feeling broken and burnt out, living on “fumes,” losing joy, losing herself, and trying so hard to keep life together while her body was shutting down.  Her story is one of courage, self-awareness, and the quiet rebuilding that happens when a woman finally listens to her body’s wisdom. Together, we explore: • What life looked like at her lowest point  • Why the pain of staying the same pushed her to choose healing  • How emotional weight and guilt were fuelling physical symptoms  • The surprising role of joy, rest, and slowing down  • How she learned to decode her body’s signals instead of fearing them  • The inner shift that made motherhood, resilience, and vitality possible again  • What it means to simplify wellness—and reclaim your life Sonali’s honesty is powerful, and her transformation is a reminder that healing doesn’t begin with doing more.  It begins with coming home to yourself. If you’ve been craving hope, clarity, or a reminder that your body hasn’t given up on you—this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn • How chronic burnout shows up emotionally and physically  • Why traditional wellness often overcomplicates healing  • The power of embodiment over protocols  • How small, simple shifts create big emotional and physical relief  • What self-compassion looks like in real life (not theory)  • How to rebuild trust with your body—even after years of symptoms Links Mentioned Download the Body’s Whisper Starter Kit (Free) 👉 https://aninditarungta.myflodesk.com/bodyswhisper If Sonali’s story made you realise it’s time to understand your own symptoms more clearly, you can book a free 20-minute Clarity Call with me.  This isn’t a coaching session — it’s a gentle space to explore what’s going on, what your body is trying to tell you, and whether personalised support is the right next step. 👉 Book your Clarity Call https://aninditarungta.com/claritycall Support the show Start Listening to Your Body — Free Daily Body Check-In If you’ve been trying to “fix” your symptoms with more diets, more supplements, or more willpower… pause.
