This Isn’t Motivation. It’s Real Life.

Unlock new possibilities even when your life feels busy, stretched and full. In this episode of Little Fixes, we dive into how you can shift from “I don’t have enough time/energy/resources” to “What if I could?” and what that mindset shift looks like in everyday life.

Join Maitri and Nehha Mishra. Nehha is a leadership coach and the founder of Epinomi Consulting. With over 17 years of experience in driving behavior change, leadership agility, and workplace transformation, she has impacted more than 51,000 professionals globally.

We explore how to:

-Recognise the mental blocks that stop you from getting unstuck- from “I’m too old” or “It’s too late” to “I can’t” → “How could I?”

-Apply simple mindset tools for personal growth, even while you juggle parenting, career, relationships and self-care

-Reframe your situation when life’s already full: how to build possibility thinking for urban Indian women balancing responsibilities, expectations and desire to live the life they truly want

-Avoid toxic-positivity and unrealistic goal-setting; how this isn’t about “just think positive and everything will magically work” but about smart, practical mental shifts

If you’ve ever felt like your dream has to wait until everything else is sorted, this episode is for you. Let’s challenge that “too full” mindset. Let’s explore the question: What if you could?

Tune in and let’s open a new door together.

Parenting an only child in today’s urban India comes with its own mix of pride, pressure, and guilt.

Are we over-involved? Are our kids missing out on social skills? Or are we giving them exactly what they need to thrive?

In this episode of Little Fixes, Maitri talks with leading child psychologist Riddhi Doshi Patel about the real challenges and hidden myths of raising an only child in modern India. We unpack how to build independence without isolation, confidence without comparison, and connection without siblings.

What we talk about:

– Why only-child parenting looks so different today

– Emotional and social development of single kids

– Are Indian parents over-parenting their solo child?

– How to handle loneliness, expectations, and guilt

– Smart, realistic tips for urban parents raising confident, grounded kids

If you’re a parent of an only child (or thinking about having one), this conversation will help you feel less alone and more equipped.

Some words used to lift us up- balance, self-care, having it all. Now? They mostly make us sigh.

In this solo episode, Maitri talks about why it’s time to retire a few overused words from our modern vocabulary — the ones that started as inspiration but turned into pressure. From “balance” to “self-care,” these words have been stretched thin by social media, self-help, and unrealistic expectations.

It’s a fun, thoughtful take on how language shapes the way women see themselves, and why rewriting the words we live by might just be the most freeing kind of self-care.

You know what you want- peace, growth, rest, maybe just one damn day without overthinking everything. So why do you keep getting in your own way?

In this episode, I talk with executive life and wellness coach Sandhya Krishnan about the sneaky ways women self-sabotage — from perfectionism and guilt to control and burnout. We unpack why we do it, how it shows up at home, work, and motherhood, and what it really takes to stop.

If you’re tired of over-functioning, over-apologizing, or overthinking your way out of joy, this one is for you.

Because sometimes, the biggest thing standing between you and your next level is you.

Ever feel like you and your partner have slipped into “roommates” mode — juggling schedules, chores, kids but forgetting how to really connect? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we explore how to bring back emotional closeness, physical intimacy, and that spark you thought was gone, starting with your relationship with yourself. We talk about nurturing self-love, embracing your feminine energy, and how that can naturally shift your connection with your partner.

We dive into tantra — often misunderstood as just “sex stuff” — and how its practices can help you reconnect on a deeper level, emotionally, physically, and energetically.

My guest is Chitvvan Waraich. She is a certified Pranic Healer, Divine Feminine Energy Guide, and a devoted practitioner of Shaivism. Her journey is deeply rooted in ancient Indian spirituality, where she combines the wisdom of Tantra, Shaiva sadhana, and energetic healing to support inner transformation and sacred embodiment.

Whether you’re single, dating, married, or somewhere in-between, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to be truly intimate — with yourself and with someone else.

Tune in for grounded, practical ways to move from “roommates” back to lovers and feel radiant, confident, and fully alive in the process.

Reading isn’t supposed to feel like homework. Yet so many of us grew up with the idea that every children’s book should teach a lesson, carry a moral, or sneak in some “value”. The truth is that kids don’t need a lesson in every story. Sometimes, the magic is in the fun, the giggles, the imagination, and the joy of simply getting lost in a book.

In this episode of Little Fixes, we explore why raising readers who read for pleasure matters more than raising readers who just read for outcomes. You’ll hear how books without lessons can still build empathy, creativity, and emotional resilience—for kids and yes, for adults too.

My guest is author Asha Nehemiah who writes books for children of all ages. Wonderfully funny characters get into wacky adventures in her books such as The Grand Chapati Contest, Trouble with Magic and The Adventures of Mooli series.

We talk about:

-Why not every children’s book needs to “teach” something

-The hidden benefits of fun and playful stories

-How parents can nurture a love of reading without turning it into a task-What adults can learn from revisiting the joy of “just stories”

If you want your child to fall in love with reading—or if you’re an adult trying to rekindle that spark yourself—this conversation is for you.

Do you ever feel like everyone else was handed a map for adulthood, and you missed the memo? This episode is for you. I pull back the curtain on the real, messy moments of modern adulting: the to-do lists that never end, the wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear, parenting plot twists, and diet/lifestyle goals that depend entirely on your mood.

If you're a mom (or know a mom) trying to keep it together, wondering why “balance” feels like a myth, and craving permission to laugh at the chaos — this is your safe space. No Insta-perfect stories here, just honest confessions to remind you that you are not alone on this adulthood rollercoaster.

Tune in for:

-Unfiltered tales from semi-sorted daily life

-Ugly yet funny truths no one admits about adulting struggles

-Ways to survive (and thrive) even when your “grown-up” status feels overdue

-Comfort in connection because showing up imperfectly still counts

Let’s normalize the struggle, share the laughter, and admit we’re all still figuring this out.
