Fences & Flowers

Dr. Sushma Manda

If you are any of these people, this show is for you. Welcome to Fences and Flowers. -The physician who saves lives all day and cries in her car    between patients. -The parent who provides everything and is emotionally nowhere. -The founder lying awake at three in the morning catastrophizing   about things that have not happened yet. -The immigrant parent who crossed oceans for their children and   wonders why their child flinches when they walk in the room. -The high achiever who hits every goal and immediately sets a    bigger one because stopping feels more dangerous than   continuing. -A young adult who loves your family and still feels unseen by   them You are not broken. You are running outdated code. Hosted by Dr. Sushma Manda. Neurologist. Founder of PotentiaYou. Creator of Nervous System Diplomacy. Immigrant. Parent. Someone who has lived and rebuilt everything she talks about here. What we cover on this show: The operating system that made you exceptional was never meant to run your entire life. This is not therapy. This is not self-help. This is not hustle culture with a spiritual bow on it. This is Sustainable Human Power. This show different from everything else out there. There is a gap nobody has been standing in. On one side: the system. Hospitals. Corporations. Workplaces. Built for output. Not for humans. On the other side: the therapist's office. Sacred work. One room at a time. In the middle: millions of high-functioning people with no framework that speaks both languages. Nervous System Diplomacy stands in that gap. The ancient and the modern agree.
