  1. Why can't you stop overthinking?

    MAR 27

    Why can't you stop overthinking?

    What if the thoughts overwhelming you aren’t meant to be suppressed… but expressed? In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the emotional weight many of us carry confusion, anxiety, overthinking, and the constant mental noise that often leaves us feeling drained. Instead of navigating these emotions, we tend to spiral deeper, consuming content that amplifies our stress rather than resolving it. This conversation shifts the focus toward self-expression as a tool for healing. Joined by Lisa Kovila, a Finnish-Canadian author, memoir coach, and creative writing expert, we dive into the transformative power of writing, journaling, and creative expression. From personal experiences of emotional overwhelm to rediscovering clarity through structured thought, this episode highlights how simple practices like writing can help reclaim control over your inner world. We also explore: The emotional depth of being highly empatheticThe fine line between supporting others and losing yourselfThe courage it takes to set boundaries in relationshipsWhy self-expression (writing, art, movement) is essential for emotional releaseHow small, consistent actions can rebuild strength and clarityThis is not a prescriptive guide, but a perspective-driven conversation designed to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to process your emotions, this episode is a reminder: You’re not alone and expression might be your way forward.

    Truth about discpline

    What does it take to rebuild your life after losing everything you worked for? In this deeply moving episode, we hear the story of Aaron “The Running Servant,” whose journey from extreme weight gain to becoming an ultra-runner is nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a simple decision to walk to work soon turned into a powerful transformation that helped him lose over 100 pounds and rediscover his strength. But just as life seemed to be moving in the right direction, Aaron’s world changed overnight when he survived a workplace shooting while saving his coworkers. The physical injuries, combined with PTSD and years of emotional and psychological battles, pushed him into one of the toughest chapters of his life. Yet, Aaron’s story is not about defeat it’s about resilience. In this conversation, he opens up about rebuilding his health, navigating trauma, and learning that fitness alone cannot heal the mind. True recovery, he explains, requires community, faith, mental health support, and the courage to keep moving forward even when the path is uncertain. Today, Aaron runs not just for himself but for a larger purpose, inspiring others to turn pain into purpose and reminding us that even the darkest moments can reveal the strength within us. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation does not begin with giant leaps it often starts with one small step. And remember: We Are Listening!

    Are Screens Destroying Your Eyes? Doctor Priethikka M.S. Explains the Truth

    What if the most overworked organ in your body isn’t your brain but your eyes? Lights off. Screen on. One last reel before bed. One notification before sunrise. In this deeply relevant conversation, Pulkit Garg sits down with Dr. Priethikka M S, ophthalmologist and MBA candidate to explore how modern habits are quietly reshaping our vision, health, and even our organisational cultures. From debunking blue light myths to explaining why power numbers can vary between eye check-ups, Dr. Priethikka breaks down the science behind screen fatigue, dry eyes, accommodative strain, and why the 20-20 rule matters more than we think. She also highlights the overlooked danger of diabetic retinopathy — especially in a country often called the diabetes capital of the world. The conversation goes beyond individual habits and into systems — exploring the inspiring model of Aravind Eye Care, a 50-year-old institution built on the vision of making quality eye care affordable and accessible. From manufacturing lenses locally to redefining patient-first culture, Aravind becomes a case study in how values shape healthcare outcomes. The episode also connects diet, hydration, workplace culture, and preventive check-ups to long-term eye health — reminding us that healing begins in awareness, not crisis. If you’ve ever ignored dryness, dismissed fluctuating eye power, or scrolled in the dark this conversation might change the way you see health. Because at the end of the day, healing doesn’t begin in emergencies. It begins with noticing. And remember: We Are Listening!

  4. Google, AI & Your Doctor: Who Do You Trust? | Dr. Aparajita Praharaj De

    Google, AI & Your Doctor: Who Do You Trust? | Dr. Aparajita Praharaj De

    What happens when a simple headache search turns into a “worst-case diagnosis”? In today’s world of infinite information, the real challenge isn’t finding health content, it’s knowing what to trust, what to ignore, and what to take back to your doctor. In this episode, Pulkit sits down with Dr. Aparajita Praharaj De, who works at the intersection of science, clinical evidence, and digital healthcare communication. With a unique lens shaped by years as a clinician and her current work in medical affairs, Dr. Aparajita breaks down one big question in plain language: What exactly is “medical affairs,” and why does it matter more than ever post-COVID? Together, we explore how digitalization has improved access to medical information but also created an ocean of noise through social media, misinformation, and overconfident AI responses. Dr. Aparajita explains how medical affairs helps bridge the gap between clinical trial evidence and real-world clinician practice by simplifying complex data, supporting the design of studies, enabling peer-to-peer scientific dialogue, and helping clinicians stay aligned with evolving guidelines. We also dive into the idea of Human + AI partnership in healthcare: AI can be an enabler, a filter, and a reference point but it can’t replace clinical judgement. The real power lies in using AI responsibly, checking credible sources, and having open conversations with your doctor instead of self-diagnosing. This conversation is not medical advice, it’s a perspective-driven discussion to help you navigate healthcare more responsibly.

  5. Faith, Fear, and Finding Clarity By Anshul Chuglani

    Faith, Fear, and Finding Clarity By Anshul Chuglani

    What happens when life puts you in a position where doing the right thing feels emotionally impossible? In this episode of We Are Listening!, the conversation begins not with answers but with a dilemma. Inspired by the battlefield of the Mahabharat, where Arjun stands torn between duty and family, host Pulkit Garg and spiritual content creator Anshul Chuglani explore what this inner war looks like in modern life. From career uncertainty and family expectations to love, loss, faith, and fear this episode gently unpacks how ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita continues to speak to today’s emotional and mental struggles. Anshul shares his personal journey from a small town to content creation, his shift from humour to deeper spiritual reflection, and how “Gita for Life” was born not as a self-help formula, but as lived experience. Together, Pulkit and Anshul discuss why spirituality isn’t about escaping life, but learning how to stand firmly within it. The episode dives deep into questions many hesitate to ask: Is destiny already written, or does karma truly shape our future?Does naam jap really transform life or is it misunderstood as a shortcut?How do intention, patience, and preparation shape success especially when nothing seems to move?What does acceptance mean in love, breakups, resentment, and new beginnings? Through stories of entrepreneurship, failure, waiting, faith, and surrender, the conversation reminds us that growth is rarely instant and that preparation is never wasted. The episode closes with a powerful reflection on introspection, mental health, and seeking support reminding listeners that healing doesn’t always come from having answers, but from being heard. If you’re navigating stress, anxiety, family pressure, or emotional confusion, this conversation might feel uncomfortably familiar and deeply grounding at the same time.

    Healthspan, Testosterone & The New Age of Nutrition with Benjamin Richardson

    What if the real secret to feeling younger wasn’t anti-aging creams, supplements, or 5 a.m. gym routines… but simply understanding the story your body is trying to tell you?
