Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 31: ResilienceIt’s been a little over a year since we all ended up working from our homes and while I do prefer the ability to be able to do more things in my day thanks to a drop in commute time, the increasing work demands presented a different kind of challenge. Of course, there are several reports of people facing burnout, mental health challenges, and straight up quitting jobs to take much needed breaks from professional life. A word many of us have been seeing lately is, resilience. Resilient people, resilient economies, resilient businesses. But how do you become re...2022-06-3042 min

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 30: Optimal HealthI have been obsessed with the topic of Health and Wellness for the better part of a decade and it is only over the past 2-3 years where I have begun to finally understand that there is more to this than just physical fitness and proper nutrition. We are moving towards a new paradigm where we are focusing on all the possible means available to us to live healthier, happier, and longer lives - physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, and environmentally. The trouble is, we have so much information around that it is hard to figure out what w...2022-06-301h 12

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 29: The Martial WayThose who know me and know this channel, are familiar with my love for martial arts. I have been training for the past 10 years and during this period, I have exposed myself to various systems. I have also witness debates about what martial arts represent and unfortunately, the true essence of martial arts, which is beyond (but does include) fighting is rarely discussed. So I decided to speak to the man who is the source of my knowledge - Shifu Kanishka Sharma. Most of you know him as the first Indian to be trained at and authorized o...2022-06-301h 00

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 28: CuriosityThis is an episode for me! Why? Because I love the learning that a meandering conversation can bring. There is a certain level of curiosity one needs to find the nuggets of learning in most inane conversations and believe me, the lesson is always worth it. But I wasn't always like this. Thankfully, I had Adarsh to whip my ass in shape over every single phone call we had. Adarsh Nalam is a communication consultant and corporate ghostwriter by profession and (as much as he would hate me for saying this), one of the greatest 'thinking-doers' I know of...2022-06-301h 58

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 27: Sleep betterThe statement, "I'll sleep when I'm dead" may very well be the reason you die early. Sleep is essential for optimal health. In fact, it's a non-negotiable. But not all sleep is equal. A number of factors need to be taken into consideration when we're talking about optimal sleep. So I brought in Aprameya Rajput to help me understand how to sleep better. Aprameya is India's first BRPT certified clinical sleep health expert. He has has more than 7 years experience in patient counseling for those requiring support in managing sleep disorders such as Sleep Apnea, Insomnia, Circadian Rhythm Disorders...2022-06-3041 min

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 26: Habits make the manIt has been a while since I did this. I took a break to deal with some personal issues and now, we're back. And who better to get back to this with than Ashdin Doctor? Ashdin Doctor is a Habit Coach. He believes that awesome lives start with awesome habits. Five years ago Ashdin was unhealthy, overworked, stressed and sleep-deprived. Till it caught up with him and he found himself collapsing on the floor in a puddle of sweat unable to move. It’s then that he realised that his life needed to change. In this...2022-06-3043 min

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 25: TransformThere are very few times that you end up meeting someone who has been relentless in her pursuit to rebuild herself and yet be so humble. I met Navjot in 2012. We worked together for a few months and I moved on to a different path in my life. And while we barely spoke, we stayed connected on social media and I saw her transform into the force that she is today. Navjot, like me, believes that true health and fitness is not limited to the physical realm or the mental realm. It is a...2022-06-301h 01

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 24: Movement is medicineThere are very few times that I get to meet a person who I could call a mirror of who and what I am. I've been looking into a number of healing practices but the one I would call my personal go-to modality, would be movement. As a martial artist, movement is essential to my practice, but movement is not restricted to martial arts. In fact, movement is what all of us have been doing since the day we were born. Movement is expressive, it's healing, it's expansive, freeing, playful and so much more. And th...2022-06-301h 00

In this episode, Maria and I try and decode what these words truly mean and why it is increasingly important to inculcate these qualities. You can reach out t...2022-06-3053 min

And the man leading the charge is Jitendra Khare - Head Coach & Manager of Team Relentless and the founder of Evolution Fitness and Combat Sports Academy in Mumbai.

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 21: Ethics & PersuasionI've been working in the communications industry since 2012 and in that time, I've loved it, hated it, questioned it, avoided it, gotten back to it, loved it some more and questioned it again. And this time, I decided to ask the man who has shaped the lives of many professionals like myself when it comes to strategic communications. Frank J. Oswald is a communications strategist and writer who has worked with the likes of Yahoo and Accenture, to name a few. Frank is also a lecturer at the prestigious Columbia University where he teaches 'Principles in Persuasion and Ethical...2022-06-3058 min

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 19: Let's talk about communicationsI have had a love/hate relationship with the communications industry for about 8 years now. I have questioned it, expressed my disdain, realized what it has given me in terms of learning and opportunities, fallen in love with it, questioned it again....you get the idea. So I decided to find my why by talking to a man who has helped me navigate this relationship with my profession. Tushar Bajaj is a Senior Vice President at one of the largest PR firms in the country and also, my boss and someone I'm grateful to have a guide...2022-06-3044 min

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 18: Seek TruthI look at combat sports, tactical combat systems, and traditional martial arts as ONE PART of a larger whole. And I have been lucky enough to be trained by a man who has explored the arts in pursuit of truth. But martial arts has been riddled with politics, whataboutery, chest-thumping, and a whole lot of bullshit. So I decided to speak to a man who is on a mission to keep martial arts and martial artists HONEST. Paulo Rubio started two of the top martial arts exploration channels on Youtube called Funker Tactical (https://www.youtube.com/u...2022-06-3059 min

Break the CycleBreak The Cycle - Episode 16: HealHealing looks different for everyone. For a lot of us, healing is a physical experience. For others, it is mental. But there are many who would look at healing from a spiritual lens. I was quite the cynic when it came to esoteric practices until a very dear friend said, "absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence". And my meeting with Jas was all about that statement. Jaspreet Bhatia is an NLP practitioner, a corporate psychologist, and trainer, but that's not the fun part. She's also a Shamanism practitioner and Akashic Record reader who has spent her time...2022-06-0159 min

She's a practitioner of Tarot reading, also something she doesn't identify with. But here are a few things that she does identify with - she's an eternal believer of love, a seeker of truth, and someone who has sat with her discomfort long enough to find out that it is the first step to healing. In this episode, Ayesha and I discuss how true happiness lies in the work - the work being the journey to peel off old conditioning...2022-06-0155 min
