As we hit our milestone of first double digit in terms of episode count, Mr. Samay Shetti is back for an intense conversation. On the occasion of World Men's Day, in this special episode, we dove deep into the psyche of a man as we explore what it means to be a man (especially in today's times), what does toxic masculinity look like, what does healthy masculine look like, what are the spiritual aspects of being a man, and a lot more.

This episode is longer than usual, but I am sure that you will lose track of time listening to it just the way I did while having the conversation.

In today's episode, we have with us Mr. Aditya Saxena, an aspiring mental health care professional. What is unique about Aditya's story is that even though he is an MBA graduate and a marketing and management professional, he intends to follow his passion by making a career switch. He plans to start from the scratch to become a counselling psychologist so that he can professionally (and more effectively) do what he truly enjoys doing.

In this conversation we spoke about the power of human connection, the impact of corporate culture on mental health, the flawed nature of the concept of stress management, the importance of learning skills of mental health care from early years, and a lot more.

In today's episode, we have with us Abigail Kellogg, a counselling psychologist and an ardent advocate of trauma and abuse survivors' mental health. In this episode we had a raw conversation (trigger warning before listening to this conversation for we have spoken about multiple sensitive topics) and spoke about trauma that professionals go through as a result of their profession, state of mental health care in our country, the healing journey after sexual abuse, impact of AI on mental health, how our lifestyles have changed over the years, and a lot more. This is the first section of a much longer conversation, of which more episodes shall be coming up soon.
