Join me, Masoom Minawala, for one of the most candid conversations I’ve ever hosted—featuring Mona Mirza, who treats faces and feelings with equal care. This episode turns the beauty debate into a deeper dialogue about intention, identity, and self-love.Having worked in the beauty industry since the age of 18 in London UK, Mona’s experience spans over 30 years. She began her career as a cosmetologist & at the start of the beauty laser revolution in the 90’s was one of the very first licensed laser & IPL supervisors / practitioners in UK, fondly known as the IPL queen by her clients. Her love for treating skin began as a personal journey which culminated into a passion to heal & treat problematic skin using a vast array of technology, medical grade skin care especially formulated for Biolite in USA & a deep respect for one’s skin.Conversation Highlights- Intention before injection: How psychological profiling, honest consultations, and boundary-setting protect patients—and why the right clinic sometimes says *no*.- Botox vs. fillers, demystified: Where each works (forehead, eyes, jaw, even traps), how long they last, why “micro-dosing” is rising, and the real risks (like ptosis) when technique is poor.- Lips, reimagined: From dissolving overfilled lips to today’s definition-first approach that respects South Asian features and aims for balance, not projection.- What’s in & what they skip:Polynucleotides (“salmon protein”) and skin boosters for glow; biostimulators for post-weight-loss laxity; PRP/vampire facial and regenerative stem-cell work—plus why they avoid thread lifts (infection/necrosis risk).If you’re curious about injectables, overwhelmed by TikTok routines, or simply want healthier, brighter skin without losing yourself, this conversation will ground you. Whether you’re a creator under public pressure or anyone rethinking beauty on your terms, you’ll leave clearer, calmer, and more in control.Takeaways- Start with skin health, not shortcuts. Improve barrier, sleep, stress, hydration—then decide on procedures.- Ask “Why now?” before “What next?” Intention is the difference between fixing and masking.- Design, don’t imitate. South Asian features aren’t copy-paste—seek harmony over trends.- Technique IS BETTER than trend : Many “side effects” are practitioner error; expertise and settings matter.- Confidence is holistic. The best results blend lifestyle, psychology, and precise treatment.Watch at 1.5x speed for a faster, more efficient listen.🎙️ About the show:Hosted by Masoom Minawala, The Masoom Minawala Show brings honest, vulnerable conversations with changemakers, creators, and entrepreneurs.

Join me for one of the most grounding, eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had—featuring a renowned psychologist and parenting expert on raising emotionally resilient kids without yelling. If you’ve ever wondered how to set firm boundaries and still stay soft, this is your must-listen.From years of working with families across India, our guest saw a pattern: adults carrying childhood wounds of being unseen, unheard, or compared—then unconsciously passing those patterns on. She turned that insight into action, blending neuroscience with simple, daily practices that help parents regulate first, so children can co-regulate and thrive. Her work—spanning research on humming, visualization, and EFT—champions a transformative message: you can’t delete old memories, but you can rewire your responses and break the cycle.* Emotional Neglect, Defined: what it looks like in everyday Indian homes (minimizing feelings, constant “don’t cry,” parental fights behind closed doors) and how it shapes anxiety and hyper-vigilance in kids.* Calm ≠ Permissive: why “calmly disciplining” works, and how authoritative (warm + firm) parenting leads to the best outcomes—academically, socially, emotionally.* Repair After Rupture: a step-by-step way to apologize, co-regulate with touch and breath, and reset the relationship without normalizing repeated blow-ups.* The 80/20 of Boundaries: pick two battles out of ten; let the rest be learning moments (like feeling cold in shorts) to build independence without power struggles.* A Nervous-System Toolkit for Busy Parents: abdominal/coherent breathing, *evidence-backed* humming, EFT tapping, and nightly visualization rituals you can do as a family in 5–10 minutes.* Rewriting Harmful Scripts: moving beyond comparisons, body-shaming, and scarcity talk (“we’ll become poor”) to language that builds self-worth, resilience, and respect.If you’re a parent (or future parent) juggling work stress, guilt, and meltdowns—or an adult trying to break inherited patterns—this episode will give you calm, practical tools and a gentler way to lead. You’ll leave with scripts, rituals, and a new confidence: discipline can be firm, and love can be steady.Key Takeaways- Calm is a strategy: “Calmly” is how you discipline, not what you do instead of discipline.-You can’t delete memories—only reconsolidate them: change the body’s associations, change your reactions.Practice before the crisis: daily regulation makes the “pause” available when triggers hit.One buffering adult can change a trajectory: it doesn’t have to be a parent—safety is relational.Pick your battles, lead with warmth: clarity + kindness beat control every time.Watch at 1.5x speed for a faster, more efficient listen.Want to buy Masoom’s book?

Is weight loss really just about eating less and exercising more? I sit down with renowned nutritionist Suman Agarwal, whose clientele includes Alia Bhatt, Ananya Pandey, and Sonakshi Sinha, to unpack the real truths about weight loss, nutrition myths, and the toxic culture of crash diets.We bust through the noise of social media trends – keto, gluten-free, Ozempic – and talk about what actually works when it comes to sustainable fat loss, glowing skin, balanced hormones, and long-term energy.Suman shares jaw-dropping stories from her own life (spoiler: her dad once secretly put raw eggs in her milk), client transformations (including one that reversed a fatty liver in 3 months), and daily nutrition mistakes we’re all making without even knowing it.We talk about:Why cutting food groups (like wheat or dairy) can backfire on your healthWhether you can eat rice, roti, paneer—and still lose weightThe 5 foods she never includes in a weight-loss plan (yes, papad and bhujia make the list)The truth about high-protein diets and why more isn’t always betterWhy dehydration is the most overlooked cause of skin issues, fatigue, and gut problemsThe realistic rate at which you should be losing weight (hint: it’s not 5kg in a week)How crash diets wreck your immunity, hair, skin, and even bone healthWe also get real about what celebrity nutrition actually looks like behind the scenes, why shortcuts like Ozempic may be doing more harm than good, and why food freedom matters more than food fear.Whether you’re trying to lose 10 kilos or just want to feel better in your body – this episode will rewire the way you think about dieting, eating, and self-care.Key Learnings From This Conversation:Real weight loss should never cost your health, hair, glow, or strengthFood is not the enemy.

Stress has become the soundtrack of our times—recent surveys show that roughly one in every three Indians wrestles with serious stress on a typical day, and Gen Z & millennials feel the squeeze even more intensely. Enter Dr Sweta Adatia, the neurologist who goes beyond treating brains to re-wiring them. Her own turning point came when the sudden breakup of a 25-year friendship plunged her into rumination and burnout; scanning her own brain, she uncovered the hidden circuits of emotional addiction and set out to heal them.

This World Environment Day, we bring you an episode that is not just a conversation, but a crucial call to action. In a world grappling with the escalating climate crisis, understanding its human impact and discovering joyful, actionable solutions has never been more vital. Join us for a transformative discussion with Prachi Shevgaonkar, a trailblazer who is redefining climate action. This episode is a powerful reminder that every one of us has a role to play, and by watching and learning from Prachi's incredible journey, we can find our own path to making a significant difference, starting today.Prachi’s story begins not with fame or accolades, but with a letter written by her eight-year-old self. That forgotten letter, rediscovered a decade later, changed everything. From walking away from engineering school to shadowing grassroots leaders and working alongside farmers and waste pickers, she redefined her path by listening to her inner compass. Today, she’s the founder of Cool The Globe, a climate-action app with users in over 150 countries, and the youngest Indian ever appointed to the advisory board of the Climate Leadership Coalition. But more than her achievements, it’s her message—that climate action can be joyful, personal, and deeply human—that makes her unforgettable.Conversation Highlights- How a forgotten childhood letter reignited her purpose and sparked a global movement- The life-altering moments she experienced while working with farmers and waste pickers- Her candid admission: “I didn’t care about climate change… until I saw how it hurt people”- How she built Cool The Globe from her college dorm—and why impact begins at home- The emotional stories behind climate statistics: from a refugee mother’s fight for education to a grandmother’s magical blessing- Actionable steps you can take (even if you're lazy!)—and how climate action can be fun, not guilt-driven- Why she believes young people and content creators are uniquely positioned to change the worldIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by climate change or unsure where to start, this episode is for you. Whether you're a parent, a creator, or just someone who wants to do better, Prachi’s story will reframe everything you thought you knew—and leave you hopeful.What You’ll Walk Away With:- Impact Starts Small: A 10% change in your lifestyle can ripple across the world.- Reclaim Joy in Action: Climate work doesn’t have to be guilt-ridden—it can be fun, exciting, and deeply rewarding.- The True Face of Climate Change: It’s not about melting ice; it’s about people losing homes, education, and dignity.- Be Loud About Good: Don’t stay silent—your climate choices can inspire ten others.- Lazy is Lovely: Doing less can actually help save the planet.

For years, I believed women could do it all—but I didn’t know how to actually structure a life where I could grow professionally, care for my family, and still make space for myself. Until I met Upasana Konidela.
In this episode, I sit down with Upasana—entrepreneur, mother, and Vice Chairperson of CSR at Apollo Hospitals—to talk about what it really takes to balance business, legacy, motherhood, marriage, and mental health. We even discuss how she and her husband, Ram Charan balance multiple roles to find time for each other and to raise a family. From her approach to life coaching and goal-setting, to how she took control of her finances (despite being born into wealth), this is one of the most real and empowering conversations I’ve had.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by everything you’re “supposed” to juggle as a woman—trust me, you are not alone. But with the right structure, mindset, and support, you can lead a life that feels both successful and fulfilling.
My goal with this episode is simple: I want every woman watching to realize that you don’t have to choose between career, family, or self—you just need the tools to design your own version of balance. 💪
✔️ Balancing Multiple Roles – How Upasana divides time between work, family, marriage & self
✔️ Life Design – Why she treats her personal goals like quarterly business reviews
✔️ Financial Independence – Why even women born into wealth need to manage their own money
✔️ Motherhood & Marriage – The honest truth about raising a child while married to a superstar
✔️ Egg Freezing & Empowerment – How reproductive choice can give women true freedom
✔️ Women & Legacy – Building family-run businesses that put women at the helm
