Not your servant. Not your shadow. Just Sonali. “Not Your Servant”: Sonali’s Story of Quiet Rebellion What happens when a girl who’s always been “nice” decides she’s done being useful? Sonali was the girl who said sorry to automatic doors, who planned trips she did not even want to go on, and who somehow became everyone’s unpaid assistant — friends, family, classmates, professors. Always helpful. Always agreeable. But never seen. In our latest podcast episode, I share the real journey of Sonali — my childhood friend — who slowly disappeared under the weight of being everyone's “good girl”... until one quiet afternoon, she realized: “I don’t know who I am when I’m not being useful.” Why You Should Listen: If you’ve ever said “yes” when you meant “no” If you feel guilty setting boundaries If people call you “so nice”… but you feel exhausted all the time Sonali’s rebellion is not loud. It’s not dramatic. But it’s powerful — and healing. For her. For us. For anyo...

Overthinking Like Cooking — Why Your Mind Feels Tired All the Time

Image
The Raw Thought: What Overthinking Really Is When I’m in the kitchen, I love raw ingredients. A crisp cucumber. A bitter karela. A fresh tomato. There’s something honest about how they feel — before the chopping, the cooking, the softening begins. Raw things hold a kind of truth. And I often wonder: does the mind work the same way? Because that’s what overthinking feels like. It takes one clear, clean thought — and starts chopping it. Adding spices of fear. Oil of doubt. Boiling it in stories that never happened. And by the end… you do not even remember what the original thought was. You just feel full. But not the good kind of full — more like bloated, heavy, and tired. Like you ate too much of something you did not even want in the first place. One simple thought: “Maybe I made a mistake.” Turns into: “Maybe I always mess things up.” Then becomes: “Maybe I do not deserve good things.” And suddenly, you are spiraling — all because of one message left on seen, or ...

Sometimes the loudest battles are the silent ones inside our mind. The Mind’s Traffic Jam: When Overthinking Hijacks Your Peace Have you ever felt like your mind has 47 tabs open… all at once? Like you are constantly thinking, rethinking, and still... getting nowhere? Let me introduce you to my childhood friend, Saumya . From the outside, she looked like the girl who had it all figured out — the smile, the career, the calmness. But inside? She was battling a constant mental traffic jam. 🚦 It All Began With One Text College. One evening. She texted a guy she liked — “Hi, how are you?” Simple, right? But within 30 minutes, she had already imagined 47 ways she had “messed it up.” “Why did I text first?” “Was ‘Hi’ too boring?” “What if he thinks I am clingy?” By the time he replied — two hours later — “Hey! I am good, how are you?” Saumya’s mind had already hosted a mental drama series with 3 seasons, 4 villains, and a tragic end. 🔁 When Overthink...
