ਜਦੋਂ ਸਭ ਲਈ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਬਣਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਭੁੱਲ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਾਂ | When We Become Strong for Everyone, We Forget Ourselves Do you ever find yourself taking care of everyone else while forgetting to take care of yourself? In the South Asian community, we often learn to be strong for our families, keep our struggles to ourselves, and put everyone else's needs first. But what happens when we become so busy holding everything together that we lose touch with ourselves? In the first episode of Rooh Podcast — ਦਿਲ ਦੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ , I’m opening up a conversation about emotional exhaustion, family expectations, and the importance of making space for your own feelings. I’ll also share simple ways to reconnect with yourself, practise self-compassion, and begin finding a little more sukoon in everyday life. This podcast is a space for honest Punjabi conversations about family, relationships, addiction, emotional wellbeing, and the challenges we don't always talk about. If you've been the strong one for everyone else, this episode is for you. 🤎 Take a moment to ask yourself: When was the last time you gave yourself the same care you give to everyone else? 🤎 Connect with Rooh Follow me on Instagram: @prabhleen.aujla Follow the podcast: @theroohpodcast 🌿 Visit www.prabhleenaujla.ca to book a meditation class or learn more about joining the Rooh Healing Circle.

How to Live in the Present Moment When You Feel Overwhelmed

Do you ever feel like your mind is always somewhere else? Thinking about what happened yesterday, worrying about tomorrow, checking your phone, thinking about your to-do list… while the present moment passes you by. In this episode of Rooh Podcast, I’m talking about something I’ve been learning more deeply through my own journey as a mindfulness coach and meditation teacher: how to slow down, come back to the present moment, and create more peace in everyday life. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, mentally busy, or simply stuck in your head, I’m sharing a few simple practices you can start using right away: ✨ Creating boundaries with your phone and notifications ✨ Using the Pomodoro technique to reduce distractions ✨ Spending a few quiet minutes alone with your thoughts ✨ Going for a mindful walk when you feel stuck or overwhelmed ✨ Creating a simple meditation ritual ✨ Using breathwork to help you slow down and reconnect with yourself You don’t need to completely change your life to feel more present. Sometimes, it starts with five quiet minutes, one conscious breath, or simply noticing what is around you. As a mindfulness coach, MBSR practitioner, and Certified Silva Method Trainer, I believe mindfulness doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be something we practice in the middle of our real, busy lives.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with men's mental health coach and speaker Sunny Chopra to explore why so many men suffer in silence, especially in South Asian communities where strength is often confused with emotional suppression.

Sunny shares his personal journey from emotional suppression and burnout to healing and self-awareness, along with practical ways men can begin opening up, building emotional resilience, and creating healthier relationships.
