Ever feel like job hunting is just modern-day begging? Same. In this brutally honest episode of Kai Pan Aditi, I take you through 10 real job rejections I’ve faced — from Unilever to UpGrad to Pinkvilla — and spill all the behind-the-scenes drama that no one talks about.
Expect:
Rejection letters and red flags
Thoughts on unpaid internships, ghosting, and toxic hiring practices
Why being 32 and still figuring it out is more normal than you think
Rants, realizations, and a little bit of hope (maybe)
Whether you're job hunting, burnt out, or just here to feel less alone, this episode is your cup of brutally honest chai.
Hit play. Laugh. Relate. Rant with me.
Because rejection is universal — and we’re all just trying to survive late-stage capitalism.
From Emma Chamberlain to emotional breakdowns, dating disasters to dreams of Birkin bags — this episode is a wild, unfiltered ride through the messy reality of being a millennial woman in her 30s. Host Aditi spills on mental health, social media fatigue, body image struggles, family pressure, and why being obsessed is the only way she gets things done. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s Kai Pan Aditi.
What is love, really? and why does it always seem to come with conditions?
In this deeply introspective episode, we’re unpacking the emotional, cultural, and even primal layers of love. From age and gender to caste and community, we explore why falling in love isn’t always as simple — or free — as it seems.
Who taught us to love the way we do? Was it our families, our biology, or society’s unspoken rules? And what would a world without love even look like — one run on knowledge, ethics, or instinct alone?
Join me as we question everything: monogamy, loyalty, societal expectations, and the very origin of our desire to "pair up." If you've ever felt confused, conflicted, or curious about love , this episode is for you.
✨ Expect honest reflections, challenging questions, and a whole lot of unfiltered wonder.
Hit play. Let’s go deep.
If you’re sick of self-help content that promises transformation in 5 steps or less — same. In this brutally honest episode of Kai Pan Aditi, your overthinking bestie Aditi gets real about burnout, motivation fatigue, and the toxic cycle of productivity porn that keeps us stuck.
Why do we binge motivational videos but still feel lost? Why is everyone suddenly a life coach? And more importantly — why do we ignore the whispers from within that actually know the way?
This episode is your permission slip to stop seeking validation from algorithms, fake gurus, or endless "morning routines." Tune in for a no-BS chat on:
💭 Why you're still stuck despite consuming hours of content
📉 The harsh truth about hustle culture
🧘♀️ Learning to listen to your inner voice again
💡 The only advice you really need to hear (shoutout to Beth Dutton from Yellowstone)
It's raw. It's reflective. It’s the self-help episode that’s anti self-help — and maybe exactly what you needed today.
🎧 Press play, and let’s talk.
Keywords: motivation fatigue, algorithm burnout, real advice, podcast for overthinkers
Sex is not like porn — and no one warned us. In this raw and unfiltered episode, Aditi dives deep into the unspoken truths around sex, intimacy, and everything that happens in between. From body complexities to emotional entanglements, awkward moments to communication breakthroughs — this is the sex education we should’ve gotten but never did.
Expect real talk on:
The messy, sweaty, emotional reality of sex (and why porn got it so wrong)
Female pleasure: why it’s more complex and how to talk about it
Why comfort, communication, and emotional safety matter so much
The importance of waiting, knowing yourself, and not rushing your journey
This episode is for every woman navigating her own pace and path. No shame. No filters. Just honest, adult conversations — the kind you’d have with your closest girlfriends.
⚠️ Explicit content — please listen privately and with care.
