Welcome to The Human Thread.
Transformation is often misunderstood as change imposed from outside. In reality, it begins the moment you reclaim authorship over your life.
In Episode 53 of The Human Thread, Gopal Rao, Senior Program Leader at Landmark Worldwide speaks about emotional patterns, personal responsibility and why growth looks different for every individual. From grief and recovery to judgment, choice and self-awareness, this conversation unpacks what it truly means to transform without losing your power.
This episode explores how becoming less reactive, less judgmental and more conscious of your narratives allows real, lasting change to unfold.

Our subconscious patterns, emotional habits, and the energy we absorb often shape our lives far more than we realise. Many of us move through life carrying emotional residue without understanding where it comes from or how it affects our choices, relationships, and sense of self.
In this episode of The Human Thread, emotional healing coach Akriti Bhartia unpacks why feeling good can sometimes feel unfamiliar, why we repeat patterns even when we know better, and how our perception, environment, and inner conditioning influence our emotional reality. The conversation gently explores concepts like emotional imprints, habitual energy drains, and how awareness can help us choose what we take in and what we let go of.
In Episode 52, you’ll explore:
• Why “I am not safe to feel good” is a common subconscious belief
• Why awareness alone doesn’t always lead to change
• How perception and habits shape emotional experiences
• The impact of environments and routines on inner wellbeing
• Why constant stress and emotional overload feel so draining
• How greater awareness helps you respond instead of react
This episode invites you to reflect, observe, and understand your inner patterns with compassion and clarity.

Chetan Goel joins The Human Thread for a candid and eye-opening conversation about the emotional reality behind influencer life. Beyond the humour and the online persona, he shares what it feels like to live under constant visibility, the pressure to always perform and the weight of being defined by numbers, algorithms and expectation.
This episode explores the inner world of a creator: the burnout that builds quietly, the fear of fading relevance, the split between the public identity and the private self and the mental load that never switches off. Chetan opens up about frustration, self-doubt, the struggle to disconnect and the emotional toll that comes with trying to remain consistent in an industry that never slows down.
It is a conversation about ambition, identity and the cost of turning life into content. For anyone who has felt overwhelmed by expectations or afraid to pause, this episode offers clarity, honesty and a deeper understanding of the pressures that remain unseen behind the screen.

Glamour, medicine, motherhood, psychology most people treat these as separate lives. But for many women, especially in the public eye, identity is a constant negotiation between roles, expectations, and the quiet courage to reinvent.
In this episode of The Human Thread, Mrs World, Wellness expert and Psychologist Dr. Aditi Govitrikar opens up about her multi-layered journey: winning Mrs. World as a young mother, studying psychology, building a platform for women, and finding grounding through Vipassana.
We explore how marriage, career and societal expectations shape a woman’s sense of self and how reinvention becomes both rebellion and return.
Aditi also shares the inner realities we often overlook: how the body stores stress, how loneliness is misunderstood, how screens reshape emotional connection, and why silence can release patterns that words can’t reach.
We dive into the masks we wear, the pressure to “stay strong,” and the expectations placed on mothers alongside tools to shift from reacting to responding.

Fear is one of the most misunderstood human emotions. It doesn’t always show up as panic, sometimes it appears as perfectionism, silence, comparison, or the pressure to keep everything together.
In this episode of The Human Thread, psychiatrist Dr. Mohit Shah breaks down how fear forms, why it stays, and how it can transform us when understood instead of suppressed.
From childhood criticism and comparison to cultural ideas like the evil eye, we explore how fear quietly settles into the subconscious and shapes who we become.
We also discuss the fears we don’t easily name, fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of losing love, fear of being seen, and the fear of not being enough.
Why does fear tighten the body long before the mind realises it?
Why does it return even when life is going well?
And what changes when we stop fighting fear and start listening to it?
In the 49th episode of The Human Thread, you’ll learn:
• How fear is formed in childhood and carried into adulthood
• Why fear stays even after the threat is gone
• The impact of cultural conditioning — from comparison to "evil eye" beliefs
• How the nervous system responds before thought
• Why understanding fear is the first step toward transformation
• Tools to reframe fear into clarity, boundaries & self-awareness

Not all grief looks like loss.
Some of it is invisible, unvalidated, and carried quietly through the strongest human moments.
In this episode of The Human Thread, host Ashna Kalra sits down with psychotherapist Ashna Shah to break down the forms of grief most of us experience but rarely name — from ambiguous loss, where someone is physically present but emotionally absent, to anticipatory grief, where you’re preparing for a painful goodbye.
They also explore disenfranchised grief — the losses society doesn’t acknowledge: losing a job, miscarriage, assault, or the loss of identity.
This conversation dives into why people tell us to “move on,” and why real healing begins only when we look inward, forgive ourselves, and understand that we carry forward those we’ve loved and lost.
In 48th episode of The Human Thread, you’ll learn:
• The three overlooked types of grief
• Why grief exists even without death
• How the body holds unspoken loss
• Why self-forgiveness is essential for healing
• How to build a life around grief rather than “letting go”

Why do we feel so much but express so little?
Most of us grow up without learning how to sit with our emotions, so they show up in our relationships, our reactions, and even our bodies.
In Episode 47 of The Human Thread, host Ashna Kalra sits down with Tanvi, Art Therapist & Mental Health Advocate, to explore the role of emotional expression, creativity, and self-awareness in healing. They discuss how art becomes a bridge to emotions we struggle to articulate, and why understanding our inner world changes the way we experience the outer one.

We are not raising children in the world we grew up in.
The environment has changed, rapidly. But childhood hasn’t had time to adapt. Play has turned into scrolling. Food has turned into convenience. And emotional connection is often replaced by “just one more screen.”
The consequences don’t arrive overnight. They show up slowly, in attention, emotional regulation, resilience, confidence, and the ability to feel safe in one’s own body.
In this episode of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits with Dr. Arpit Gupta to decode what is happening to childhood today, neurologically, emotionally, and socially.
A conversation about:
- How the brain wires itself in early years
- Why sleep and nutrition are non-negotiable in development
- The effect of screens on emotional growth and identity
- And how presence, structure, and safety shape who a child becomes
This is not parenting advice.
This is about the blueprint of a human being. Because childhood is not a stage. It’s the foundation of everything that follows.

What if your mind isn’t as original as you think? We like to believe we act out of uniqueness, but much of how we think, feel, and respond comes from patterns we don’t even notice. And when perception can be influenced, reality begins to blur.
In Episode 45 of The Human Thread, host Ashna Kalra sits down with Sanchit Batra, mind reader, illusionist, and Mentalist of the Year, to explore how perception shapes reality, why we fall for illusions, and how easily the mind can be influenced when we believe we’re in control.
A conversation that goes beyond illusion into the psychology of belief, attention, and perception.

Many of us assume that age brings wisdom, but simply growing older doesn’t mean we’re growing within. Experiences, success, and relationships don’t automatically teach us how to manage our emotions or break free from old patterns.
True emotional maturity comes from self-awareness, the ability to reflect, take accountability, and choose growth over reaction.
In this episode of The Human Thread (formerly The Therapy Diariez), host Ashna Kalra sits down with Psychologist Japneet Anand to explore why emotional maturity isn’t measured by age, but by how deeply we understand ourselves.
Together, they uncover the subtle patterns that keep us stuck, from blame and ego to emotional avoidance, and reveal how empathy, awareness, and conscious reflection pave the way toward real healing and transformation.

Why does emotional expression still feel out of reach for so many men?
When strength is defined by silence and caregiving by sacrifice, emotional safety becomes rare, especially in childhood. Boys grow up learning to perform rather than feel, and that impacts everyone they connect with later.
In Episode 35 of The Therapy Diariez, psychologist Sohini Rohra explores how both parents shape a child’s emotional world. From men mistaking providing for presence to using humour as a shield, she unpacks how emotional patterns are passed down and how, Gen Z and Gen Alpha could finally change the narrative.
