🎙️ Podcast Episode: “You’re Allowed to Feel, Not Just Function” 🕯️ A quiet invitation to reconnect with your inner self In this deeply human episode, Sonal Chauhan shares the story of Arjun, a high-performing IT professional whose life looked perfect on the outside — but felt numb on the inside.

Through a forgotten box of paints and a spontaneous moment of stillness, Arjun began a journey back to his emotional self — not by fixing anything, but by finally feeling through art. This isn’t a story about burnout. It’s about the silent emotional disconnection many of us carry. And how something as simple as 10 minutes of painting a day can begin to thaw that numbness. 🎨 Whether you’re a working professional, a high-achiever, or someone just feeling “off” lately — this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and explore how art therapy can become a soft and healing ritual in your life. 🔗 Join Sonal’s free healing-through-painting webinar 🌱 Learn how to build your purpose-driven message with her mentor @Sidz in his upcoming webinar.

"Tired But Wired: How Technostress, Burnout & Sleeplessness Are Silently Affecting Your Work — And How Art Can Help You Heal" In this episode, Sonal Chauhan compassionately explores a common but often overlooked state — feeling exhausted yet mentally restless. From late-night scrolling, declining focus, broken sleep, to silent burnout, many professionals today are unknowingly caught in the grip of technostress. Through the story of Aditya, a high-performing software developer in Bangalore, we uncover how continuous screen exposure, lack of downtime, and unprocessed emotions quietly drain productivity and joy — even when everything looks "normal" on the outside. But what if the solution isn’t more productivity hacks — but a pause, a breath, and a brushstroke? 🎨 Sonal introduces art therapy as a gentle, science-backed way to reset the mind, regulate emotions, and reduce fatigue. Even a simple 20-minute painting break can restore clarity, calm, and better sleep. If you’re feeling "tired but wired", this podcast offers you both reflection and relief — plus a gentle invitation to Sonal’s free art healing webinar, and to explore deeper transformation through her mentor Siddharth Rajsekar’s Webinar.

In this heart-opening episode, Sonal invites you into a deeply reflective conversation around a question many of us never ask ourselves: Is what we’re feeling really stress — or is it hidden, unprocessed grief? Through the gentle story of Neel, a high-performing software engineer in Bangalore, we uncover how unresolved emotional pain from past experiences—loss, heartbreak, suppressed emotions—can quietly disguise itself as chronic stress or burnout. Sonal shares her own personal journey of healing, not through logic or productivity, but through painting—a silent space where emotions could breathe, and the soul could speak without words. She introduces art therapy not as a fix, but as a pathway to feeling, softness, and inner restoration.
