In this episode of Melting Pot, host Payal Nayar speaks with Nika Brunet Milunovic, Founder of Calm Nest Collective and host of The Pink Nest Podcast, about well being, inclusion, and what it truly means to create humane experiences. Drawing from over a decade in the international events and music industry, Nika shares the realities behind high-pressure environments burnout, overstimulation, and emotional fatigue and how these experiences shaped her purpose-led work. She shares about designing sensory-friendly, neuro-inclusive spaces that support emotional regulation and psychological safety in events and workplaces. Blending lived experience, work experience, sustainability, and PhD research, Nika offers a thoughtful perspective on trauma-aware design, mental health, and creating spaces where people can pause, breathe, and show up as themselves beyond the mask.

Conversations around aging often focus on care, but rarely on purpose. In this conversation on Melting Pot, host Payal explores these ideas with Cherry Thian, founder of Little Changemakers, a social enterprise creating experiences that foster empathy, resilience, and connection.

Cherry reflects on her work with seniors, caregivers, children, and individuals with special needs, sharing why meaningful engagement matters more than simply staying busy. The discussion touches on redefining contribution in later life, creating sustainable programs, and recognising the often-invisible role of caregivers. Through real stories and thoughtful insights, this episode highlights the importance of dignity, community, and human-centred design in building more inclusive and compassionate societies.
