In this second episode of Unlayered, Pan sits down with Rahul Bharadwaj, a business analyst, sports coach, and founder of Soulful Learning.
They reflect on the emotional undercurrents many of us carry into adulthood:
From growing up in a traditional household in India to questioning the education system, Rahul shares how he’s been slowly unlearning who he was told to be and instead building something meaningful for the next generation.
Topics explored:
Rahul’s difficult childhood shaped many of his reactions, beliefs, and decisions as an adult.
The deep craving for parental validation.
Why traditional education system may be broken.
The invisible skills children learn through sport.
Why “having a job” is no longer a safety net.
Personal growth through healing and reflection.
