I firmly believe that being productive has helped me up my parenting game to the next level. When I planned this episode, I actually wanted to call it 'A thousand things on my mind' because that's how I felt most often with family, work and myself to take care of. Talking to Shailaja V, blogging and productivity coach, I try to understand why produ…

2020 is here! Huge moment for most of us who believe in how a new year is basically a refresher course of sorts, allowing us to be better versions of ourselves. Instead of resolutions (that we make and break so badly) why not work on finding our calling? Here's how I intend to do that!

Finally I get down to talk about decluttering! While this isn't your everyday 'Marie Kondo' style boxes and organizers kind of decluttering, it is definitely important as you head into a new year!

Looks are external, happiness is internal! Right? Maybe not. These days Insta-celebs go beyond the realms of common sense to promote ideals that plunge mothers into guilt and body shaming. Here's what happened last week on the gram!

Waking up early is one life skill that I believe every parent needs. I went from being a sleepaholic to someone who loves waking up before dawn! It's so life changing that I'd like to share how I did it!

Some say 'parenting is easy', while some other think otherwise. However you look at it, parenting needs work.

Do you set goals for yourself? If yes, what kind? If no, why not?

How do we stay accountable. Let's talk about that and more in this episode!…
