This Made Me Pause is a podcast about those quiet, unexpected moments that catch you off guard—at work, halfway up a mountain, or in the middle of a messy day. I’m Prerna Goel—fintech veteran, artist, and hiker.  In each short episode, I share a true story or thought from my life as it’s unfolding. You won’t find five-step fixes here. Just real, in-the-moment reflections—honest, imperfect, and unfolding in real time. If you’ve been wondering what matters—or how to make space for something different—this might be your kind of pause.

    What are you doing with your 80,000 hours?

    Send a text A short reflection on the book Moral Ambition and the uncomfortable question it raises about how we use our working lives.

    Are you steering too hard?

    Send a text A short reflection on control, uncertainty, and why we try so hard to force our lives into a direction they may not want to go. It’s about trusting yourself a bit more than you currently do. 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.

    Where did you first find peace?

    Send a text The first time I hiked, I was eight — and something in me stilled. Years later, through all the noise of life and work, that feeling returned. This episode is about remembering where you first felt completely at peace with yourself — and finding your way back there, one step at a time. 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.

    What if the cure is sunlight?

    Send a text I grew up hearing “Go sit in the morning sun, it’s good for you.”  At the time, it sounded like one of those things you were just supposed to do — like drinking haldi milk or doing Surya Namaskar.  But now, science says they were right all along. This episode is about the quiet power of early sunlight — how it lifts your mood, resets your body, and reminds you what being alive feels like. Because sometimes the most powerful medicine isn’t in a bottle. It’s right outside your window. (This episode is not medical advice. Always seek professional guidance before making changes to your health routine.) 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.

    When did you last really notice?

    Send a text I went out looking for mushrooms.  That’s it. Nothing fancy. And somehow, it turned into one of the happiest days I’ve had in a long time. This episode is about rediscovering childlike joy — the kind that hides in small things when we finally slow down enough to notice. If you’ve been rushing lately, this one’s for you. 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.

    What does it really mean to show up?

    Send a text We often say I’m here for you — but are we really showing up in ways that help, or just in ways that suit us? In this episode, I explore what real support looks like: lowering the effort for the other person, asking instead of assuming, and keeping the thread alive. Because showing up isn’t about performance. It’s about presence. 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.

    Are we managing health, or living it?

    Send a text After listening to Dr. Rhonda Patrick talk longevity science, I found myself wondering — are we all becoming a bit too obsessed? We track, hack, and optimise, yet often miss the basics: sunlight, movement, rest, simple food. This episode explores what balance really looks like, from Ayurveda to Blue Zones, and why health isn’t the goal — it’s what helps us live well. 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.

    What can change in five days?

    Send a text I share a Japanese tradition of seventy-two microseasons — each just five days long — and how it inspired me to notice the small shifts in my own life. From fallen leaves and spider webs to restless energy and quiet evenings, these mini-seasons remind us that renewal doesn’t have to wait for the big milestones. A new beginning can start every five days — if we choose to notice it. What would you call your last five days? 🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker. 💌 New episodes drop weekly.
