In today’s episode, we’re unpacking The Art of Apologising. From childhood, we’re often conditioned to give what we call 'non-apologies'—the kind that sound like an apology, but don’t carry any real sincerity. But as we grow older, many of us start to believe these half-apologies are genuine, when in reality, they aren’t. We’ll explore why sincere apologies are crucial for healthy relationships, how insincere apologies or the absence of one can cause harm, and how to recognise and deal with them. Plus, we’ll dive into the steps to offer a true apology—a real apology that’s only 3 words but backed by meaningful actions. Let’s get into it!

Welcome to today’s episode, where we’re diving into the topic of toxic positivity – a well-meaning but often harmful mindset that insists on staying upbeat at all costs. We’ll explore how to recognise toxic positivity, its impact on mental health, and how it blurs the line into gaslighting. We’ll also differentiate between genuine optimism and toxic positivity, discussing the dangerous effects of phrases like “good vibes only” or “it happened for a reason.” Plus, we’ll share practical ways to stop perpetuating toxic positivity and offer healthier, more supportive alternatives to help ourselves and others navigate tough times. Stay tuned for a conversation that can help you reclaim emotional authenticity and empathy in your relationships.

In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the most dangerous pieces of bad relationship advice: “They will change over time.” The truth is, people don’t change unless they want to, or have an intrinsic motive to do so (psychologically proven). While habits can be worked on, the core nature of a person cannot. Staying in a toxic relationship, hoping for change, is not the answer. And waiting for a change to happen miraculously also isn't a sane choice. Tune in as I break down the reasons as to when a person opts to change, why is this a bad piece of advice, why shouldn't we work on other humans as projects and a lot more.

Is a divorce photoshoot really the best way to mark the end of a marriage? In this podcast episode, we discuss the psychological reasons behind clicking pictures and how divorce photoshoot is completely defying it. The drawbacks of turning a personal and painful experience into a photoshoot. We explore the potential emotional harm, the pressure to "celebrate" the end of a relationship, and why some might question the idea of glamourising divorce. Tune in to further share your thoughts.

If we focus more on making and building our habits then anything that comes our way is achievable. Habits are the stepping stones to our goals, aim and even resolutions.

Resolutions are set with unrealistic expectations, are vague and has no roadmap to it.

So, aadatein sudharo aur apna kaam banwaate jao!

3. Be empathetic and also motivate

4. Agree to respectfully disagree

5. Communicate

6. Give it Time

We have just been taught to never ever give-up. But there are situations that have no results or destinations. You just keep travelling it without any purpose, wasting your time and energy.

Hence, I personally feel that at times it is good to give-up. It is liberating, adds on to happiness and makes things easier for you.

Which team do you belong to? Never give up hard cores or give up darers?
