"Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange." Ah yes, the unpredictable, unavoidable, beautiful and yet terrifying change. In this week's episode, we reflected upon how we should position ourselves against the uncertainty that the future holds, we talked about the dichotomy we often face between what we wish the reality to be and what it actually is, why mindfulness is so often misunderstood and on top of it all, Akshat tells a wonderful story about how he was taught to roar (yes, The Lion King style roar). Without a doubt, this was a wonderful conversation that would make anyone think, reflect and perhaps, even reconsider a few things about themselves and their lives.

We did it. We survived 2020 - a truly traumatising year. That is why, this week, we decided to have a more intimate conversation whereby we reflected upon how the trauma that we have all endured during the past few months could be turned into potential for growth, the different approach we should take towards our emotions, the importance of giving people space and much, much more.
