(copy paste of pt-1 discussion)
Feels like no words will do justice to explain how privileged I felt to be part of the discussion. The conversation was very fluid and brought up so many points that women (just not in Nepal) have been talking about. I will not write much on the discussion because you will have to hear it to appreciate how great discussion it was.

Counter culture as defined by wikipedia "“A counterculture is a culture whose values and norms of behavior differ substantially from those of mainstream society, sometimes diametrically opposed to mainstream cultural mores.” So essentially if you're not following the traditional profession in your community - you're going counter culture. So to discuss why the counter culture is important we have assembled five individuals who are trailblazers in their own way. They will tell you the story and hopefully their story helps your to make that decision.

Mental health is one of the topic which is still often overlooked. Me, and my panelist would argue Mental health is more important and need to be look after more than physical health. There are so many misconceptions in our society that prevents an individual from seeking - probably one of the best step they will take towards self-care. Here are few resources for US residents:

James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Hey good people. Sorry if the intro is too loud, I am just way too pumped to be back. But the quote above from James Baldwin sums up what I (we) are trying to do with season 2. We will face, discuss the difficult topics of the society and help you understand other people's perspectives. Empathy will be key with this season.
The first episode, the first part, me and my panelist are discussing the topic of race and try to answer questions like:
This discussion has been broken down into two parts because of the content. There is so much information, knowledge, perspectives in this one I had to break it down into two parts. I will release the rest next Tuesday.

Last week we heard from the US citizens and their feelings about upcoming US elections. In this episode we will see get the perspective from people who are non US citizens and looking at the US from outside. Some are actually living in the US and their life also gets impacted from the election result.
think it's an interesting listen to non US citizens as well. Since the discussion was long I have broken it down to two parts so it's more palatable.

US Presidential election is upon us and there is so much anxiety amongst the voters. I tried to assemble very diverse group of individuals who are US citizens but from different cultural background. Six panelist and two mediators, we discuss the feelings, emotions and the importance of voting. I think this is an extremely informative project and something I am really proud of.

Next I'm looking for noon US citizens who are interested in US politics and election. If you are interested, please contact me at:

Sun is an amazing human who I met through a friend of mine. Actually my friend introduced him to the podcast and Sun was already talking about spirituality and life, death and afterlife. So this was a perfect match, we scheduled an interview session and throughout the interview I realized that he was extremely passionate about it. I could go on talking to him for longer and I told him that as well. His interview definitely open new perspectives into this idea of afterlife.
Follow Sun for all of his updates, to get in touch with his art, want to ask or learn about astrology his IG: @sunthepisces

Priyanka d and I met when I was in Nepal after the massive earthquake in Nepal. I met her through of my other ds (d or dd meaning sister in Nepali) and one thing that really stuck out was her positivity and her laugh. She has one of those contagious laugh which make everyone around her happy. She is a early school educator and I cannot imagine a better person than her in the job. She talks about the Rai 'Kirat' tradition and the how death is treated in the culture. This was also a good learning experience for me about the culture we have within Nepal. This is one of those perfect example of an episode where it shows importance of diversity.

Namaste.
Serene and I met in Santa Monica College in Los Angeles, California. She was going for biology and I was going for something I rather not say. And we had a general class together and we started chatting, I didn't have many friends in LA so I was hungry for friends, and she was kind to be one. We stayed in touch and here we are.
She is into books, national parks and workouts. As you will learn all about it on the episode.
Also, I am planning to get a phone number where you can contact me and leave a voicemail or text. Let me know if you'll like that. Reach out to me on social media @mygoodplacepod Twitter and Instagram.
