I had a beautiful, honest conversation with intimacy coach Pallavi Barnwal. We spoke about NoFap practices, self-pleasuring and what it really means, for both men and women. We explored how men and women experience intimacy differently, how porn has shaped desire and expectations, and where it starts impacting real connection. We also touched upon Tantra, female pleasure, expectation mismatches in relationships, why many women feel disconnected from their bodies, and how orgasms are often misunderstood or pressured. Yes, we even spoke about sex toys, their role, relevance, and where mindful use can turn into dependency. No extremes. No sides taken. Just a balanced, curious, and compassionate conversation about intimacy, desire, and awareness.

In this deeply personal and rare conversation, I sit down with celebrity wife, chef and influencer Sruthi Nakul as she opens up about her water birth experience — a part of motherhood that very few celebrities choose to share publicly. Shruti also speaks about breastfeeding both her children up to the age of four, including her honest journey with tandem feeding, offering inspiration to countless mothers who are navigating similar paths. A passionate advocate of gentle parenting, Shruti reflects on real, often unspoken aspects of postpartum life, motherhood, delayed weaning and emotional transitions after birth. This episode is a warm, grounded space for new and expecting mothers to feel seen, reassured and empowered — with practical insights you can carry into your own birthing and breastfeeding journey.

This podcast is with Effath Yasmin, who is a lactation consultant and a Biodynamic Cranio Sacral (BCST) therapist who has worked with mothers and babies all her life, and she is also a filmmaker/author/trainer/therapist/flower medicine practitioner. Effath has spent her life working with mothers and babies. In this conversation, she opens up the often-unspoken layers of birth trauma—how vaginal births and C-sections can leave deep physical and emotional imprints on the mother, the baby, and the entire family ecosystem. We explore how these early experiences influence: ✨ breastfeeding ✨ bonding ✨ postpartum mental health ✨ nervous system regulation ✨ and the subtle undercurrents in family relationships. This is not just a “parenting conversation.” It is about the human experience of being born, the mother-baby dyad, and how early imprints echo through adulthood, identity, behaviour, and relationships. I genuinely invite men, women, parents, non-parents, mental health professionals, medical practitioners, and anyone interested in emotional wellness to watch this. It’s deep, layered, grounding, and sensitively held. I truly hope this episode brings you new perspectives, compassion, and understanding. Enjoy the conversation.

Children are naturally curious about the human body. It is how they learn, explore, and make sense of the world, including their own bodies and sometimes even those of their siblings or cousins. Many adults have had such experiences growing up, but never spoke about them.

Did you know that even a Hollywood movie showed this scene? I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when I first watched it, too!

In my latest podcast episode, I talk about why this curiosity happens, how to respond calmly as a parent or teacher, and what's the right way to guide children through it, without shame, fear, or overreaction.

Lots of tips for conscious parents and educators.

This one is for the men. I sat down with a Movement coach to explore something most men are never taught to think about—how your relationship with your own body directly shapes your intimacy, your mental health, and the way you show up in the bedroom.

We talk about:

Why are so many men disconnected from their own bodies

• How embodiment and movement practices can transform intimacy
• The nervous system and men’s emotional health
• The impact of porn on male sexual understanding
• How men treat women and why it’s deeply linked to how they treat themselves.

This conversation is raw, real, and necessary. 👉 If you’re a man, listen. 👉 If you have men in your life—share it with them. 👉 If you care about healthier relationships, discuss these ideas with your friends. It’s time men start working on their connection with their own body—for their own well-being and for the people they love. Go follow Jijo Manthara David, Movement Coach on Instagram!
