Join me for one of the most clarifying and quietly powerful conversations I’ve had on the show — with Yasmin Karachiwala, a fitness instructor who’s spent three decades teaching women how to turn strength into freedom. If you’ve ever felt guilty about not “being consistent,” this episode will change the way you see movement, ageing and worth.Yasmin’s story reads like a masterclass in consistency and care: she’s built a career over 30+ years by quietly refusing shortcuts and by choosing truth over trends. From early studios to training long-term clients (including people who’ve stayed with her for decades), Yasmin has watched fads come and go — and learned to translate fitness into daily resilience. Her work isn’t about chasing an image; it’s about giving women the physical power to lift children without pain, sleep better, and feel less exhausted by life. This episode traces that arc — a practitioner who turned personal conviction into a lifetime of practical, compassionate coaching.Conversation highlights* Why muscle matters: the single most important thing Indian women can do for long-term health — not vanity, but survival, sleep, energy and freedom.* Pilates vs strength vs functional training: what each gives you, when to use them, and how Pilates quietly blends strength and stretch to reduce injury.* The messy middle of fitness: real talk on post-pregnancy strength, back pain, and the moment you realise fitness is about function (lifting kids, carrying groceries, staying energetic).* Nutrition with no judgement: protein minimums, the sugar trap, “healthy” desserts that still pack calories, and a practical plate-based approach to weight goals.* Rest, recovery and the smarter workout: why rest is as important as sweat, how to read your body, and how a good instructor adapts a session to your day.* Authenticity over hype: why certifications, standards and honesty beat viral promises — and the danger of trainers selling quick fixes on social media.Whether you’ve never touched a weight, you’re recovering from burnout, or you’ve tried every trend and still don’t feel stronger — this episode will reframe what fitness actually gives you. Listen if you want practical clarity, fewer myths, and a heartfelt roadmap to moving through life with more strength and less fear.

Join me for one of the most inspiring and hard-hitting conversations I’ve ever had — featuring Suhasini Sampath, the woman who turned a kitchen-table idea into Yoga Bar, a brand that redefined India’s healthy eating landscape and went on to be acquired for over ₹500 crores. This episode is a masterclass in ambition, resilience, and rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship.Suhasini Sampath’s journey began not in a boardroom but in her mother’s kitchen — blending oats, nuts, and sheer determination. From there, she went on to co-found Yoga Bar with her sister, growing it into one of India’s most trusted health food brands. But behind the billion-dollar valuation and the ITC acquisition lies a story of self-belief, rejections turned into redirections, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Suhasini’s story isn’t just about business — it’s about mindset, values, and the courage to dream bigger than your circumstances.Conversation Highlights💡 How a homemade snack idea became a ₹500 crore brand🔥 The mindset shift that helped her scale — from “100 crores” to limitless ambition🧘🏽♀️ Why chasing *excellence* beats chasing *numbers*💬 The emotional reality of selling your company and staying true to your values🌍 Building a made-in-India brand that competes on global shelves💰 Lessons in money management, independence, and investing fearlessly💔 The near-burnout moment that almost made her give it all up👭 The power of sisterhood and family support in entrepreneurship💪🏽 How Indian women can lead with strength, logic, and self-reliance✨ The one philosophy that helped her through rejection: “It’s never about me — it’s about the situation.”If you’ve ever dreamt of turning your small idea into something extraordinary — or wondered how to stay grounded while building wealth and legacy — this episode will speak to you. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, dreamer, or simply someone navigating your next big chapter, Suhasini’s story will move you and motivate you to aim higher.Key Takeaways💫 Dream Bigger: Your ambition sets the ceiling for your success.🧠 Think Logically, Not Emotionally: Rejection is about timing, not your worth.💪🏽 Independence Is Power: Learn to manage, invest, and multiply your money.❤️ Build With Values: Trust, authenticity, and purpose never go out of style.🌱 Stay Curious: The best businesses start with questions, not certainty.---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 intriguing conversations I’ve ever had—with veteran journalist Sujata Assomull, whose fearless dismantling of fashion’s myths will make you rethink what luxury, craft, and pride really cost. This is a must-listen moment for me as a host — a conversation that challenged, moved, and left me seeing Indian fashion in an entirely new light.From her early days covering business and politics to becoming the editor of Harper’s Bazaar India and now a globally respected fashion critic, Sujata's journey is one of constant reinvention and courage. She’s witnessed the industry from the front row and the back door—celebrating its brilliance, questioning its hypocrisies, and amplifying the craftspeople and stories often left out of glossy magazine spreads. Today, she stands as both insider and disruptor, reminding us that fashion is not just glamour, but culture, power, and identity.Conversation Highlights- Why Indian consumers value a Prada Kolhapuri over a handcrafted Indian original- The uncomfortable truth about who really pays for Bollywood’s glamorous red carpet looks- How legacy magazines dismissed social media—and why Sajeda embraced it early as her lifeline- The real power dynamics at fashion weeks: who gets invited, who gets sidelined, and why it matters- Appropriation vs. collaboration: what global brands owe India beyond “inspired by” press notes- The path forward for Indian fashion—why consistency, storytelling, and pride in homegrown brands could define the next decadeIf you’ve ever bought into a label, questioned the price of craft, or wondered why India’s rich textile heritage doesn’t get the respect it deserves, this episode will stay with you. Whether you’re a designer, creator, or simply someone who loves fashion, Sujata’s words will shift how you see what you wear—and why it matters.Key TakeawaysLuxury is Craft: True luxury lies in uniqueness and time-intensive craftsmanship, not just logos.Reclaim Our Pride: India once defined global style—it's time we value our own heritage again.Collaboration Over Credit: Inspiration isn’t enough; international brands must invest in craftspeople.Visibility ≠ Impact: Celebrity dressing doesn’t always translate into sales or cultural progress.The Next Decade Is Ours: Indian fashion has the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with global luxury houses.**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, 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?

Enter Dr Sweta Adatia, the neurologist who goes beyond treating brains to re-wiring 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.

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.

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.
