Self-help can be entertaining while inspiring

Yes, Untether Your Life is undoubtedly about mental wellness, particularly in the context of those who count themselves among the “South Asian diaspora,” many of whom often feel prohibited from fully immersing in freedom of thought due to shackles placed on them by some of the more rigid customs and beliefs of their ancestors. Make no mistake, under the meticulous and thoughtful stewardship of its host Nikhil Torsekar, this show tackles a variety of emotional challenges and explores a Wonka factory’s worth of potential solutions—creative practices, methodologies, and real-life breakthroughs—for listeners looking to forge a path to well-being and break the chains of precepts that may not fit their current environment. Although the show’s “About” page is technically accurate, it’s somewhat limiting in terms of what listeners can potentially get out of it. You don’t necessarily have to be of South Indian descent or be searching for something to fill spiritual and emotional emptiness to find this show engaging. When people find their way from abuse, trauma, loss, and simply being lost, they also confront their relationship to their surroundings, their families, their peers, and their place on earth. In that process, interesting philosophies on life and all of its main components—work, family, spirituality—are formed and put in practice, which can, at the very least, provoke thought as effectively in the mentally well as the emotionally ailing, but often entertain as well. The journeys of Nikhil and the guests he converses with each week give you a window into the numerous ways one can use introspection to uncover powerful customized“revelations” that lead to greater happiness, something everybody can learn from and be inspired by. In other words, you don’t have to be searching for answers to enjoy, appreciate, and be entertained by others’ discoveries and awakenings, nor do you need to be a descendant of South Asian relatives to appreciate these universal quests—especially since Untether Your Life tells explores the issues faced by this population in a way in which everyone can relate.
