    The Hidden Psychology of Energy, Patterns & Perception | Akriti Bhartia | EP 52 Full Episode

    Our subconscious patterns, emotional habits, and the energy we absorb often shape our lives far more than we realise. Many of us move through life carrying emotional residue without understanding where it comes from or how it affects our choices, relationships, and sense of self. In this episode of The Human Thread, emotional healing coach Akriti Bhartia unpacks why feeling good can sometimes feel unfamiliar, why we repeat patterns even when we know better, and how our perception, environment, and inner conditioning influence our emotional reality. The conversation gently explores concepts like emotional imprints, habitual energy drains, and how awareness can help us choose what we take in and what we let go of. In Episode 52, you’ll explore: • Why “I am not safe to feel good” is a common subconscious belief • Why awareness alone doesn’t always lead to change • How perception and habits shape emotional experiences • The impact of environments and routines on inner wellbeing • Why constant stress and emotional overload feel so draining • How greater awareness helps you respond instead of react This episode invites you to reflect, observe, and understand your inner patterns with compassion and clarity.

    Life Beyond Labels Reinvention, Growth Aditi Govitrikar | The Human Thread | EP 50 Full Episode

    Glamour, medicine, motherhood, psychology most people treat these as separate lives. But for many women, especially in the public eye, identity is a constant negotiation between roles, expectations, and the quiet courage to reinvent. In this episode of The Human Thread, Mrs World, Wellness expert and Psychologist Dr. Aditi Govitrikar opens up about her multi-layered journey: winning Mrs. World as a young mother, studying psychology, building a platform for women, and finding grounding through Vipassana. We explore how marriage, career and societal expectations shape a woman’s sense of self and how reinvention becomes both rebellion and return. Aditi also shares the inner realities we often overlook: how the body stores stress, how loneliness is misunderstood, how screens reshape emotional connection, and why silence can release patterns that words can’t reach. We dive into the masks we wear, the pressure to “stay strong,” and the expectations placed on mothers alongside tools to shift from reacting to responding. In this 50th episode, you'll find How reinvention threads through changing life stagesWhat Vipassana does to the emotional bodyHow stress shows up physicallyWhy loneliness isn’t solved by relationshipsThe masks we wear to surviveHow to respond instead of reactThe science behind Marvellous Mrs. India New episode drops every Friday on YouTube and major audio platforms.

    Fear, Conditioning and Courage The Truth Nobody Explains | Dr Mohit Shah | The Human Thread EP 49

    Fear is one of the most misunderstood human emotions. It doesn’t always show up as panic, sometimes it appears as perfectionism, silence, comparison, or the pressure to keep everything together. In this episode of The Human Thread, psychiatrist Dr. Mohit Shah breaks down how fear forms, why it stays, and how it can transform us when understood instead of suppressed. From childhood criticism and comparison to cultural ideas like the evil eye, we explore how fear quietly settles into the subconscious and shapes who we become. We also discuss the fears we don’t easily name, fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of losing love, fear of being seen, and the fear of not being enough. Why does fear tighten the body long before the mind realises it? Why does it return even when life is going well? And what changes when we stop fighting fear and start listening to it? In the 49th episode of The Human Thread, you’ll learn: • How fear is formed in childhood and carried into adulthood • Why fear stays even after the threat is gone • The impact of cultural conditioning — from comparison to "evil eye" beliefs • How the nervous system responds before thought • Why understanding fear is the first step toward transformation • Tools to reframe fear into clarity, boundaries & self-awareness New episode drops every Friday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms Follow us Instagram:   / thehumanthread.podcast   YouTube:    / @thehumannthread   Facebook:   / thehumanthread

    The Unseen Grief We Carry Every Day Ashna Shah | The Human Thread | EP 48

    Not all grief looks like loss. Some of it is invisible, unvalidated, and carried quietly through the strongest human moments. In this episode of The Human Thread, host Ashna Kalra sits down with psychotherapist Ashna Shah to break down the forms of grief most of us experience but rarely name — from ambiguous loss, where someone is physically present but emotionally absent, to anticipatory grief, where you’re preparing for a painful goodbye. They also explore disenfranchised grief — the losses society doesn’t acknowledge: losing a job, miscarriage, assault, or the loss of identity. This conversation dives into why people tell us to “move on,” and why real healing begins only when we look inward, forgive ourselves, and understand that we carry forward those we’ve loved and lost. In 48th episode of The Human Thread, you’ll learn: • The three overlooked types of grief • Why grief exists even without death • How the body holds unspoken loss • Why self-forgiveness is essential for healing • How to build a life around grief rather than “letting go” New episode drops every Friday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms Follow us Instagram:   / thehumanthread.podcast   YouTube:    / @jynxclipzi   Facebook:   / thehumanthread

    The Art of Healing What You Don't Say | The Human Thread | EP 47

    Why do we feel so much but express so little? Most of us grow up without learning how to sit with our emotions, so they show up in our relationships, our reactions, and even our bodies. In Episode 47 of The Human Thread, host Ashna Kalra sits down with Tanvi, Art Therapist & Mental Health Advocate, to explore the role of emotional expression, creativity, and self-awareness in healing. They discuss how art becomes a bridge to emotions we struggle to articulate, and why understanding our inner world changes the way we experience the outer one.
