A Millennial Mind is a podcast about perspective, because when you understand someone’s mind, you understand their world. But we all live with limited data. Our beliefs, experiences, and knowledge are just a few dots. And if you don’t collect enough dots, you can’t connect them and you can’t grow. That’s why this podcast exists: to gather those dots. Each episode, I invite experts, thought leaders, and change makers to challenge how I think, on everything from mental health, hormones, and habits to relationships, identity, and success. We bust myths, reframe narratives, and explore what it really takes to shift your mindset. Because when you change your mind, you change your thoughts.And when you change your thoughts, you change your life. So if you’re ready to think differently, welcome to the reimagined A Millennial Mind. Hit subscribe and let’s start connecting the dots together.Shivani Pau 心理学 心理学・心の健康 衛生・健康的な生活

    "I Gave My Eggs to a Lady I Met on the Train" | Egg Donation, Faith & Destiny | Gini Bhogal
    2026/06/02
    What would you do if a stranger on your morning commute told you she couldn't have children — and you offered to help? In this episode, I sit down with Gini Bhogal (@ginibhogal), a celebrity bridal hair and makeup artist and a household name in the Asian bridal scene. But behind the brushes and bridal chairs is a story she kept quiet for nearly 30 years... until now. Gini shares how a chance encounter on the London Underground led her to donate her eggs to a complete stranger, for free, against her husband's wishes, without telling her family, and with no idea how it would all unfold. 26 years later, the child she helped bring into the world reached out and found her. If you've ever felt pulled to do something that made no logical sense but felt completely right, this one is for you. 🎙 What we cover: - How Gini met Anita on the London Underground and made a split-second decision to donate her eggs - What the egg donation and IVF process actually involved - How she convinced her husband and navigated family and cultural pressure - The emotional process of detaching — and why she never wavered - The moment Christopher was born and Gini went to meet him - How and why they told Christopher the truth at age 26 — and how he guessed it was her - Taking him to Santorini to meet the family - Her parents' reaction — and why it completely surprised her - Breaking generational cycles in South Asian families - Faith, destiny and the belief that everything is written ⏱ Timestamps: - 0:00 – Intro - 2:51 – Gini's story begins: the stranger on the tube - 6:37 – How old Gini was and why she said yes - 8:46 – Telling her husband and convincing him - 11:55 – Shivani on organ donation and selflessness - 18:04 – Navigating conservative family and cultural pressure - 22:38 – Advice for following your gut when everyone disagrees - 39:37 – How IVF and egg donation actually works - 44:26 – Going through the process alone while working and raising a child - 49:14 – The extraction, the embryos, and the one egg that worked - 51:55 – Finding out Anita was pregnant - 1:00:40 – Christopher asking "are you my mum?" as a child - 1:05:14 – Deciding whether to ever tell him - 1:09:49 – How and when they told Christopher — and how he guessed - 1:14:15 – Christopher reaching out and coming to London - 1:15:32 – Taking him to Santorini - 1:17:01 – Telling Gini's parents and their reaction - 1:22:54 – Did Gini judge her parents unfairly? - 1:26:40 – What Gini gained from the whole experience - 1:27:06 – Do you believe in destiny? - 1:30:12 – Would Gini encourage her own children to donate? - 1:40:28 – Advice for doing something outside the norm 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shivanipaupodcast Performance Planner: https://my-performance-planner.myshopify.com/ Let Me Change Your Mind 🧠 egg donation, fertility, ivf, selflessness, gut instinct, faith, destiny, south asian culture, punjabi culture, generational cycles, a millennial mind, shivani pau, gini bhogal, bridal makeup artist, infertility, acts of kindness, following your gut, cultural pressure, family expectations Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why Working Less Might Actually Make You Better at Your Job | Dr Monika Sharma

    Why Working Less Might Actually Make You Better at Your Job | Dr Monika Sharma
    2026/05/26
    Have you ever felt like you're burning out from a job you actually love? Dr Monika Sharma (@lifewithdoctormon) is an NHS GP, certified personal trainer and content creator who has spent years trying to balance life in and out of clinic. After nearly 15 years in medicine, Monika found herself running on empty — editing videos on her lunch break, answering emails on the commute home and slowly losing her joy for the job she'd worked so hard to get. In this episode we talk about what it really feels like to be a number in the system, the guilt of finally choosing yourself, why so many of us tie our worth to how much we suffer at work — and what actually changes when you stop. If you've ever felt like a fraud for enjoying your work day, or wondered whether you're allowed to want more than your job title gives you — this one is for you. 🎙 What we cover: • The reality of being an NHS GP vs the glamour people assume • Why Monika wanted to quit medicine multiple times • Reducing her hours and the guilt that came with it • Tying your identity and self-worth to your job title • Why we equate hard work with suffering • The pressure of doing both medicine and content creation • Choosing yourself without feeling selfish • Immigrant parent work ethic and redefining what productivity looks like • How to have the difficult conversations that change your life • Interracial marriage and challenging cultural expectations • Why the people closest to you matter more than strangers online 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: / amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: / shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shiva...

Have you ever felt completely alone trying to help your autistic child, ignored by the NHS, judged by family, and running out of answers? Taiba Bajar (@autismbrainempowerment) is a former dentist, award-winning researcher and founder of Autism Brain Empowerment. When her son lost all his words, eye contact and sleep overnight at 20 months old, she was dismissed by doctors and told it was just genetics. She refused to accept that and spent years finding the answers herself. In this episode we talk about what autism actually is, why so many children are regressing and why parents keep getting gaslit about it, and the real environmental triggers including food, screens and toxins that are worsening symptoms. We also talk about why girls are still being massively underdiagnosed, what the NHS gets wrong about the diagnosis process, and the simple changes parents can make at home right now. If you're a parent on a waiting list, feeling overwhelmed, or just want to understand autism better, this one is for you. 🎙 What we cover: • What autism actually is and how it's diagnosed • Why autism rates are genuinely rising, not just better diagnosis • What regression really means and why doctors keep dismissing it • Why girls with autism are so often missed • The link between gut health and autism symptoms • How screens, food and environmental toxins worsen symptoms • What to do while you're on the NHS waiting list • Supplements that can help, including omega 3, magnesium and folinic acid • Why you shouldn't blame yourself as a parent • The importance of early intervention and neuroplasticity ⏱ Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro 4:57 – What is autism? 7:03 – Why so many people are undiagnosed 7:47 – Why girls with autism are missed 10:53 – Are autism diagnoses actually rising? 13:59 – Taiba's personal story 19:27 – What is stimming? 24:29 – What is regression, and does every child experience it? 27:00 – What's happening neurologically during regression 31:42 – What should a parent do first if they notice regression 35:23 – Why there's still so much shame around autism 42:43 – The environmental factors worsening autism symptoms 49:30 – Screens, working parents and the guilt around it 51:32 – Practical advice for exhausted parents 59:40 – How to talk about environment without blaming parents 1:04:31 – What to do if you can't afford to go private 1:06:32 – Gut health, anti-inflammatory diet and supplements 1:13:19 – What one small thing can a parent do tonight 1:18:30 – The most sedentary generation in human history 1:23:55 – Taiba's biggest regret and her son's transformation 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shivanipaupodcast Performance Planner: https://my-performance-planner.myshopify.com/ Let Me Change Your Mind 🧠 Learn more about your ad choices.
