Unscripted Growth Podcast

In this podcast I speak with Madhuri G on the topic of recognizing the chaos around you and not allowing the chaos to consume you.

There will be days you do everything right and still have nothing to show for it. This is about what to do with those days.
Welcome to Unscripted Growth — the space where we talk about growth, change, and becoming more intentional about the lives we're building.

What's the one thing you keep telling yourself you'll finally do this week?
Mine are the same three, most weeks: start the workout plan. Take the digital detox weekend. Call the friend I told I would.
By Thursday, none of it happened. Again.
For a long time I had a word for that. I'm starting to think it was the wrong one.

Our past shapes us, but it doesn’t have to define us. We are allowed to change our minds, outgrow old versions of ourselves, and want something different from life. In this episode I explore why evolving isn’t leaving ourselves behind—it’s becoming more fully who we are. 🎙️ Your past is the foundation. The rest is still yours to build.

Many of think that stability in life as well as our careers is the goal — the fixed title, the settled plan, the sense of finally arriving. This conversation challenged that.
I sat down with Neha Chouhan Gandhe, a leader who's built her career less around holding a position and more around staying ready to move — through operational roles, into sustainability and ESG, into people leadership, each shift asking her to learn again from scratch. We talked about what it takes to choose agility over the comfort of staying put, and what keeps someone curious enough to keep unlearning instead of settling. We also talked about a kind of leadership that isn't measured by how much someone holds onto, but by how much they hand off — mentorship, visibility, room to grow — to the people around them.
Agility isn't the absence of direction — it's the willingness to keep revising it.
What stayed with me was how little Neha's growth looked like climbing, and how much it looked like making space for someone else to.
New episode of Unscripted Growth is up. What would you have to let go of to stay agile?

A near-death experience will rearrange your priorities fast. For Richard Greene — business adviser, author, and TEDx speaker — it did more than that: it became the lens for everything after. In this episode of Unscripted Growth, Richard opens up about the life on the other side of that moment, and the five pillars he now lives by — humility, curiosity, compassion, gratitude and kindness. We talk about what it really means to find stillness inside the storm, not by escaping it, but by changing how you meet it.

I’ve been thinking about how easily a useful idea can become a filter for life.
Protecting our attention matters. But what happens when we start asking, “Will this serve me?” not just about information, but about conversations, emotions, grief, and people?
In this episode of Unscripted Growth, I reflect on the difference between a protected mind and a free mind—and why not everything meaningful needs to be useful.

What happens when women are encouraged to speak—but the systems around them still fail to listen?
In this episode of Unscripted Growth, I speak with Eraina Ferguson—AI product leader, TEDx curator, keynote speaker, and founder of Listen to Her—about her unconventional journey into technology, finding her authentic leadership voice, and why visibility matters as much as capability.
We also explore a leadership skill that is often underestimated: the ability to make people feel genuinely heard.
Listen to the full conversation and reflect with us: Are we simply giving women a seat at the table—or are we truly listening when they speak?

How much of your life is waiting for a version of you that feels more ready? What if you've been waiting for the wrong thing? In this week's episode of Unscripted Growth, we explore why healing doesn't always come before living—and why the experiences we postpone may be the very ones that help us grow.

Ever wonder why we hold our breath watching people we've never met?
I explore why we can't look away from sports — the World Cup, Wimbledon, the Tour de France — and what it really says about us as viewers.
But there's another side of sports I know intimately: the one without cameras. As a mother to two kids who play international tennis, I've lived the 5 a.m. practices, the quiet car rides home after a loss, and everything that never makes the highlight reel.
Turns out, what we're watching isn't the athlete. It's ourselves.
