Why It’s So Hard to Talk to Indian Parents About Feelings

Sagar Parekh joins us for a conversation that goes beyond miles and muscles, it’s about mental clarity, connection, and finding joy in life. We talk about the realities of motivation, the impact of community and family, along with how mindfulness shows up in every stride.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by LIFE, this episode will remind you: it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress.

So settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. ☕️
