Some words used to lift us up- balance, self-care, having it all. Now? They mostly make us sigh. In this solo episode, Maitri talks about why it’s time to retire a few overused words from our modern vocabulary — the ones that started as inspiration but turned into pressure. From “balance” to “self-care,” these words have been stretched thin by social media, self-help, and unrealistic expectations. It’s a fun, thoughtful take on how language shapes the way women see themselves, and why rewriti...

Why Women Self-Sabotage (and How to Finally Stop Doing It)
You know what you want- peace, growth, rest, maybe just one damn day without overthinking everything. So why do you keep getting in your own way? In this episode, I talk with executive life and wellness coach Sandhya Krishnan about the sneaky ways women self-sabotage — from perfectionism and guilt to control and burnout. We unpack why we do it, how it shows up at home, work, and motherhood, and what it really takes to stop. If you’re tired of over-functioning, over-apologizing, or overthinkin...

Raising Readers Who Read for Pleasure: How Kids (and Adults) Benefit from Books Without Lessons
Reading isn’t supposed to feel like homework. Yet so many of us grew up with the idea that every children’s book should teach a lesson, carry a moral, or sneak in some “value”. The truth is that kids don’t need a lesson in every story. Sometimes, the magic is in the fun, the giggles, the imagination, and the joy of simply getting lost in a book. In this episode of Little Fixes, we explore why raising readers who read for pleasure matters more than raising readers who just read for outcomes. Y...

Mom Life Unfiltered: Adulting Struggles & Confessions No One Talks About
Do you ever feel like everyone else was handed a map for adulthood, and you missed the memo? This episode is for you.

I’m talking to Postpartum Core Specialist Darshika Gupta and we will not talk about six-packs and step goals but about the shame, the silence and ...

Why You’re Always Tired: The Surprising Link Between Gut Health, Diet and Ambition
We usually talk about diet in the context of weight loss or about what’s good for our health and what’s not. But let’s flip that today. Kya aapne kabhi socha hai ki jo hum khate hain, woh sirf humara body shape nahi humara mood, humari energy, humara focus aur even humare dreams ko bhi affect karta hai? Like agar har roz chai, coffee aur stress pe survive kar rahe ho, toh shaam tak burnout hona obvious hai. Aur fir hum sochte hain, “Mujhse toh apne kaam hi nahi hote, kuchh extra kaise karun?”...
