Welcome to The Human Thread.
The Human Thread - formerly known as The Therapy Diariez, is a podcast where stories become mirrors and conversations become catalysts.
Hosted by Ashna Kalra, the show dives into the choices, emotions, and turning points that define what it means to be human.
From resilience and self-discovery to love, loss, and the moments that change everything, each episode pulls at the unseen threads that connect us all. It’s raw, real, and reflective, a space where silence turns into dialogue, and dialogue into understanding.
New name. New chapter. Same soul. Shifting perspectives, one story at a time.
Welcome to The Human Thread.
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.
Watch now and discover how to grow beyond age, emotion, and expectation.

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.

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.
