Podcasts about Anjali

As parents, many of us want to raise kind, empathetic kids, but we don't always feel equipped to talk about race, bias, and identity in everyday life. In honor of Black History Month, this conversation feels especially important. I sit down with culturally responsive therapist Anjali Ferguson to unpack how early children begin noticing differences and how small, ordinary moments shape their understanding of the world. We talk about the discomfort adults feel, the fear of saying the wrong thing, and why silence often teaches more than we realize. This episode is not about blame. It is about giving families tools to move forward with intention. Dr. Ferguson brings both professional expertise and deeply personal experience as a South Asian woman raising biracial South Asian and Black children. Together we explore how culture, trauma, and identity intersect in parenting, and why these conversations are not optional extras, but foundational to raising emotionally healthy kids. Her children's book, An Ordinary Day, shows how subtle bias can show up in everyday childhood experiences and how families can use those moments to build empathy instead of fear. My hope is that this episode helps parents feel less frozen and more ready to start small, stay curious, and keep showing up. We discussed:  • Why kids notice race and differences earlier than most adults expect • How racial bias forms in early childhood • The gap in culturally responsive parenting resources • Growing up between cultures and identity formation • Raising biracial children and protecting cultural identity • Everyday microaggressions and their long-term impact • How racism creates chronic stress in the body • Generational trauma and epigenetic effects • The role of racial socialization in protecting children • Why avoiding conversations about race harms kids • How parents can respond when bias shows up in real time • Teaching empathy through ordinary daily moments • Building diverse environments through books, toys, and media • Supporting kids when they experience exclusion or bias • Why parents don't have to be perfect to start • Practical ways families can talk about race at any age To connect with Dr. Anjali Ferguson follow her on Instagram @dranjaliferguson, check out all her resources at https://draferguson.com/ and buy her book “An Ordinary Day”: https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Day-Dr-Anjali-Ferguson/dp/B0B8BDNXVK  Additional Resources: www.parentingculture.org 00:00 The Hidden Impact of Microaggressions 00:56 Why This Conversation Matters During Black History Month 02:57 Representation in Parenting Spaces 06:34 Dr. Anjali's Personal Story: Culture, Trauma, and Identity 10:42 Racism as Trauma: A Professional Awakening 14:30 Parenting Biracial Black Children 19:32 When Do Kids Notice Race? 24:56 Inside An Ordinary Day and Why It Matters 31:37 Chronic Stress, Racism, and Long-Term Health 37:13 What to Say When Bias Happens 42:51 Why Every Family Must Talk About Race 47:18 You Will Mess Up, And That's Okay Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

It was an odd juxtaposition: Trump's inaugural Board of Peace gathered in Washington, D.C. as the U.S. appeared to be readying for war with Iran. In this week's To Save Us From Hell episode, Mark and Anjali discuss why this Board of Peace can't really compete with the Security Council, and what its advent says about international relations today. They then discuss a looming American attack on Iran, and what that suggests about the diminishing role of international law and the much-lamented rules-based international order. Finally, they unpack a bizarre confirmation hearing for Trump's pick for assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs—who appears to be too racist for this particular role. https://www.globaldispatches.org/40PercentOff

The new book, Ballot, examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti presents the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history.

For the first time in history, multiple countries have jointly nominated a candidate for UN Secretary General. Earlier this week, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico endorsed Michelle Bachelet—a former president of Chile, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a survivor of brutal repression under the Pinochet regime. The move is unprecedented—and potentially transformative. What does it signal about the race to replace António Guterres, and how soon might more rival candidates emerge? Anjali and Mark unpack what this coordinated nomination reveals about shifting power dynamics inside the UN. They then turn to the latest Epstein document dump, which has ensnared several prominent diplomats and sent shockwaves through the diplomatic world. Finally, they confront a looming institutional crisis: the UN's cash reserves are so depleted that even the viability of this year's UNGA is now being called into question.

Maya talks with Dr. Anjali Alimchandani about growing up as a covert stutterer and why stuttering was the hardest identity for her to accept. Anjali shares how she first became aware of her stutter through bullying, the loneliness of having no language or community around it, and how early experiences with speech therapy reinforced shame rather than support.The conversation explores covert stuttering, passing, and the emotional and spiritual labor that often goes unseen. Maya and Anjali reflect on navigating stuttering alongside other identities, the pressure to accept oneself, and how healing often requires being witnessed in community. Together, they discuss belonging, enoughness, and the importance of creating spaces where people who stutter can show up as they are, without needing to perform fluency or prove their identity.LinksMaya's SubstackParticipate in this stuttering research survey and get a gift card!-----Big thanks to Proud Stutter's recurring supporters: Jennifer Bolen, Jerry Slaff, Josh Compton, Pablo Meza, Alexandra Mosby, Ingo Helbig, Jonathan Reiss, Jason Smith, Paige McGill, Wayne Engebretson, Swathy Manavalan, and Martha Horrocks.If you can become a monthly donor at $10 or more, we'll give you access to ad-free episodes and bonus Proud Stutter+ content as a token of our thanks!

Award-winning journalist, activist, poll worker, and former attorney Anjali Enjeti discusses her new book, Ballot, which considers the real and metaphorical role that ballots play in our democracy. Co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Jennifer Maritza McCauley (in her first episode joining the co-host rotation) talk to Enjeti about her childhood encounters with ballots, the history of ballots in America, and the problems she encountered with Republican-installed Dominion voting machines in Fulton County, Georgia, where she was an election worker during the 2020 presidential race. She debunks the false claims of election fraud in Fulton County during that election and discusses the Trump Administration's recent seizure of 700 boxes of 2020 ballots from Fulton County, what those ballots represent, and whether or not the administration might try to alter them. She reads from Ballot.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Can Donald Trump's new Board of Peace really compete with the Security Council? Will we even be discussing it a week or two from now, or will Trump and other world leaders simply move on? And what's with the Board's logo, which looks almost like a parody of the United Nations emblem? Mark and Anjali break down the newest—and perhaps strangest—entrant into the multilateral peace and security space, answering these questions and more. But first, they take stock of the major stories set to dominate the agenda at the United Nations as the world body closes out its 80th year. https://www.globaldispatches.org/

A stack of new interviews are coming down the No Tags pipes right now, but first we return to a conversation from our sold-out event at the ICA last month.If you couldn't make it down, or if you were there but forgot to take notes, this episode is a keeper. London-based rave researcher Anjali Prashar-Savoie set out her vision of a ‘club commons' – a radical, positive and participatory kind of nightlife, as inspired by her research into the history of queer scenes in the UK, from lesbian sound systems with a creche on the side to George Michael-themed free parties.The interview section begins at 41m. Before that we spend some time reporting on our New Year jollies, our seasonal “locking in” progress, and recent film-watching (Into The Abyss, Marty Supreme, The Smashing Machine).Then a conversation about the growing magnetism of Substack, a nine-year-old newsletter platform that's suddenly having a moment with musicians and celebs. Does the Troye Sivan newsletter herald a new intimacy in fan-artist relations? Or is this just another example of Brands Saying Bae? (With apologies to Shawn Reynaldo, who wrote his own First Floor newsletter on this subject a few days after we recorded ours. Soz.)If you missed it, the ICA event was also a book launch for No Tags Vol 2: Conversations on underground music culture, featuring interviews from the last year of the podcast and four brand new essays. The book is available from our Shopify, and from select bookshops and record shops.In other news! Chal has written about Britney Spears and her memoir for the latest issue of the London Review of Books.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Journey Through the Thar: Friendship and Survival in the Desert Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-01-21-08-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: थार के रेगिस्तान में सर्दियों की ठंडी धूप बिखरी हुई थी।En: In the Thar Desert, the winter's cool sunlight was spread out.Hi: रेत के ऊंचे-ऊंचे टीले और कहीं-कहीं बिखरी हरी झाड़ियों के साथ रेगिस्तान शांत और विशाल दिखाई देता था।En: With tall dunes of sand and scattered green bushes here and there, the desert appeared calm and vast.Hi: उसी वातावरण में तीन मित्र - रोहन, प्रिया और अंजलि - अपने जीवन की सबसे चुनौतीपूर्ण यात्रा पर निकले थे।En: In that environment, three friends - Rohan, Priya, and Anjali - embarked on the most challenging journey of their lives.Hi: रोहन एक दृढ़ निश्चयी और संसाधनयुक्त ट्रेकर था।En: Rohan was a determined and resourceful trekker.Hi: वह अपनी हदें पार करने को आतुर था।En: He was eager to push past his limits.Hi: प्रिया, उसकी बचपन की मित्र, रेगिस्तान में जीने के गुर जानती थी।En: Priya, his childhood friend, knew the ways of survival in the desert.Hi: अंजलि एक फोटोग्राफर थी जो रेगिस्तान के उत्सवों की सुंदरता कैमरे में कैद करने के लिए उत्सुक थी।En: Anjali was a photographer eager to capture the beauty of desert festivals in her camera.Hi: उनके सामने मुख्य लक्ष्य था - थार के रेगिस्तान की सर्दियों में कठिन यात्रा को पूरा करना और मकर संक्रांति के सांस्कृतिक जश्न को अनुभव करना।En: Their main objective was to complete the difficult journey through the Thar Desert in winter and experience the cultural celebrations of Makar Sankranti.Hi: लेकिन यात्रा के प्रारंभ में ही समस्या सामने आ गई थी।En: But right at the beginning of the journey, a problem emerged.Hi: पानी के संसाधन सीमित हो रहे थे और धीरे-धीरे उन्होंने निर्जलीकरण का सामना करना शुरू कर दिया।En: Water resources were becoming limited, and gradually they began to face dehydration.Hi: दिन गुजरते गए और पानी की कमी उनकी यात्रा के लिए बड़ा संकट बन गई।En: As the days passed, the lack of water became a major crisis for their journey.Hi: एक दिन, तेज धूप में चलते-चलते सभी थक चुके थे।En: One day, after walking under the scorching sun, everyone was exhausted.Hi: पानी की बूंदे भी खत्म हो रही थीं।En: Even the last drops of water were running out.Hi: प्रिया ने सलाह दी कि अब उन्हें किसी गांव की ओर जाना चाहिए और मदद लेनी चाहिए।En: Priya suggested that they should head towards a village and seek help.Hi: लेकिन रोहन के मन में द्वंद्व था - क्या वह अपनी यात्रा जारी रखे या समूह की सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता दे।En: But Rohan was conflicted - should he continue the journey or prioritize the group's safety?Hi: फिर उन्होंने एक साहसी निर्णय लिया।En: Then they made a bold decision.Hi: वे पास के एक गांव की ओर बढ़ने लगे, जहाँ मकर संक्रांति का जश्न चल रहा था।En: They started moving towards a nearby village where the Makar Sankranti celebration was taking place.Hi: गांव का वातावरण बिलकुल उल्टा था - चारों ओर रंग-बिरंगी पतंगें उड़ी हुई थीं और पारंपरिक गीत गाए जा रहे थे।En: The village atmosphere was entirely different - colorful kites were flying everywhere and traditional songs were being sung.Hi: लेकिन तभी रोहन निर्जलीकरण के कारण गिर पड़ा।En: But just then, Rohan collapsed due to dehydration.Hi: पास के लोगों ने यह देखा और तुरंत मदद पहुंचाई।En: The nearby villagers saw this and immediately offered assistance.Hi: उन्होंने रोहन और उसके दोस्तों को पानी दिया और उनकी देखभाल की।En: They gave water to Rohan and his friends and took care of them.Hi: धीरे-धीरे रोहन ठीक होने लगा।En: Gradually, Rohan began to recover.Hi: गांव के लोगों की सहायता पाकर, रोहन को एहसास हुआ कि यात्रा के अनुभव साझा करने में ही असली खुशी है।En: With the help of the villagers, Rohan realized that the true joy lies in sharing the journey's experiences.Hi: उन्होंने वहां कुछ दिन बिताए, उत्सवों में भाग लिया और थार की संस्कृति को समझा।En: They spent a few days there, participated in the celebrations, and understood the culture of Thar.Hi: अंततः, रोहन ने सबक सीखा - यात्रा साझा अनुभव है न कि अकेली उपलब्धि।En: Ultimately, Rohan learned a lesson - the journey is a shared experience, not a solitary achievement.Hi: जब समूह ने पुनः यात्रा शुरू की, वे अधिक सतर्क और एकजुट थे।En: When the group resumed their journey, they were more cautious and united.Hi: थार रेगिस्तान ने उन्हें जीवन का असली सबक सिखा दिया था कि सफर साथ बिताए गए पलों में है।En: The Thar Desert had taught them the real lesson of life - that the journey is in the moments shared together.

Burlap & Barrel didn't chase scale – and that's why it's winning. In this episode, Ori Zohar, co-founder and co-CEO of the single-origin spice brand, explains how resisting the urge to go mass, staying profitable, and focusing on quality and relationships helped build a durable CPG brand. Show notes: 0:25: Ori Zohar, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Burlap & Barrel – Ori joins Ray at the inaugural Winter FancyFaire* in San Diego, where the entrepreneur recounts his long friendship with Burlap & Barrel co-founder Ethan Frisch and their first business, a socially driven ice cream cart. He explains how Frisch's work in international development and frustrations with nonprofit impact, and his own disillusionment with venture capital, helped spur the creation of Burlap & Barrel. Ori talks about the founders' emphasis on a bootstrapped, values-driven approach and direct trade, trust-based farmer relationships. He highlights early validation from chefs, followed by a pivotal New York Times mention. Ori discusses the brand's focus on DTC e-commerce, thoughtful media relationships, and an educational approach that demystified spices as agricultural products. He also explains how the company has maintained profitability without outside investors, pays premium prices to its partner farmers, positions itself as a "third wave" spice company and how it evaluates collaborations with other CPG brands.

Anjali Saraogi hasbeen an ultra runner. She started running in her early 40s and pretty quickly discovered a love and talent for running far, and running fast. She ran the Comrades Marathon in 2017, in a time of 8 hours, 38 minutes: a huge accomplishment and at the time, it was the fastest time run by an Indian woman at that race. Anjali then went on to solidify her place as one of India's best ultra runners, and she is a pioneer in the sport in her country; distance running, as Anjali talks about in her story, is relatively new in India. So not only was Anjali a role model for what's possible as an older woman, having begun competitive sports in her 40s, she became a role model for what's possible for women, period. Anjali has represented India in international championship races, including the 100k world championships and 100k Asia and Oceania championships, which you'll hear about in her story. But with the onset of health issues around menopause, Anjali had to give up running competitively and then altogether. Now, she's back. And she shares the whole story here. It's a story that's rooted in one constant: Anjali loves to run; it's a feeling she's has had since the beginning of her running journey, and it continues to this day.How to Keep Up with Anjali SaraogiOn Instagram: @runjali1973Anjali Saraogi's Comrades episode: womensrunningstories.com/anjali-saraogi-the-comrades-marathon-a-first-timers-journeyTo support WRS, please rate and review the showiTunes/Apple:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music CreditsCormac O'Regan, of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Playtoh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coma-Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Camila_Noir,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music of the Future, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠chillmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠aidanpinsent⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rockot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways to Connect and Engage with Women's Running StoriesWRS Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@womensrunningstories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/WomensRunningStories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ womensrunningstories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The Security Council convened an emergency meeting on Monday in response to American military operations in Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife— forcing dozens of countries to publicly respond to one of the most audacious U.S. actions in recent memory. Anjali and Mark break down what unfolded in the chamber: which countries issued the strongest condemnations, which were more restrained, and which attempted to thread the needle between defending a core principle of the UN Charter and avoiding the wrath of Donald Trump. They also ask a larger question: can an American foreign policy openly premised on hemispheric domination, resource extraction, and territorial expansion coexist with a United Nations designed to prevent exactly that? Is this an existential moment for the UN? Can the rules-based international order survive? And why has Somalia's UN ambassador suddenly landed in MAGA crosshairs? We discuss all this—and more! https://www.globaldispatches.org/40percentoff

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: From Stage Fright to Spotlight: Reeya's Musical Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-12-25-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हिमालय की गोद में बसे शिमला में, सर्दियों का मौसम अपने शबाब पर था।En: In the lap of the Himalayas, perched Shimla, the winter season was at its peak.Hi: चारों तरफ बर्फ की चादर बिछी थी और हर जगह क्रिसमस की चमकती सजावट देखकर मन प्रफुल्लित हो रहा था।En: A blanket of snow lay everywhere, and the sparkling Christmas decorations all around filled everyone with joy.Hi: इसी बीच, स्थानीय स्कूल में सालाना शीतकालीन संगीत कार्यक्रम की तैयारियां जोरों पर थीं।En: Meanwhile, the preparations for the annual winter music program at the local school were in full swing.Hi: रीया, एक 11वीं कक्षा की छात्रा, अपने संगीत को लेकर बहुत उत्साहित थी।En: Reeya, an 11th-grade student, was very excited about her music.Hi: उसकी छोटी बहन, अंजलि, हमेशा उसकी हौसला अफजाई करती रहती थी।En: Her younger sister, Anjali, always encouraged her.Hi: इस बार का कार्यक्रम रीया के लिए विशेष था क्योंकि वह अपने संगीत को सबके सामने प्रदर्शित करना चाहती थी।En: This year's program was special for Reeya because she wanted to showcase her music in front of everyone.Hi: लेकिन उसके सामने एक समस्या थी – उसे स्टेज पर जाने से बहुत डर लगता था।En: But she faced a problem—she was very frightened of going on stage.Hi: साथ ही, उसके दोस्त कबीर का संगीत में नैसर्गिक हुनर उसे और भी दबाव देता था।En: Additionally, her friend Kabir's natural talent in music added more pressure on her.Hi: स्कूल के संगीत कक्ष में तैयारियों का माहौल था।En: In the school's music room, the atmosphere was full of preparations.Hi: कबीर की गिटार की धुनों के बीच रीया के अंदर की घबराहट बढ़ती जा रही थी।En: Among the tunes of Kabir's guitar, Reeya's anxiety was increasing.Hi: वह सोच रही थी कि क्या वह कभी कबीर की तरह मंच पर आत्मविश्वास से खड़ी हो पाएगी।En: She was wondering if she could ever stand on stage with confidence like Kabir.Hi: रीया ने अपने डर को दूर करने का फैसला किया था।En: Reeya decided to overcome her fear.Hi: लेकिन अंतिम निर्णय करने तक, उसके कदम हिचकिचाते थे।En: But until she made the final decision, her steps hesitated.Hi: तभी अंजलि दौड़ते हुए उसके पास आई।En: Just then, Anjali came running up to her.Hi: "दीदी, तुम बहुत अच्छा गाती हो," अंजलि ने कहा।En: "Sister, you sing very well," Anjali said.Hi: "तुम्हें अपने आप पर विश्वास करना चाहिए।En: "You should believe in yourself.Hi: कबीर तो अच्छा है, लेकिन तुम उससे भी बेहतर हो सकती हो।En: Kabir is good, but you can be even better."Hi: "अंजलि की बातें सुनकर रीया के दिल में आत्मविश्वास जागा।En: Hearing Anjali's words, confidence arose in Reeya's heart.Hi: उसने ठान लिया कि इस बार वह खुद को रुकने नहीं देगी।En: She was determined not to hold herself back this time.Hi: रीया ने संगीत शिक्षक के पास जाकर एकल प्रदर्शन के लिए अपने नामांकन का प्रस्ताव दिया।En: Reeya went to the music teacher and proposed her nomination for a solo performance.Hi: उन्होंने मुस्कुराते हुए उसकी उम्मीदवारी स्वीकार कर ली।En: With a smile, they accepted her candidacy.Hi: उस शाम, अंतिम रिहर्सल में, रीया ने पूरी लगन और आत्मविश्वास के साथ अपनी प्रस्तुति दी।En: That evening, at the final rehearsal, Reeya gave her performance with full dedication and confidence.Hi: अंजलि और कबीर, दोनों ने उसके लिए ताली बजाई।En: Both Anjali and Kabir clapped for her.Hi: रिया के मन का डर धीरे-धीरे खत्म होता जा रहा था।En: The fear in Reeya's mind was gradually fading away.Hi: जब कार्यक्रम की रात आई, तो स्कूल का सभागार दर्शकों से खचाखच भरा हुआ था।En: When the night of the program arrived, the school auditorium was packed with spectators.Hi: मंच पर पहुँचकर, रीया ने अपनी आँखें बंद की और गहरी सांस ली।En: Reaching the stage, Reeya closed her eyes and took a deep breath.Hi: गिटार की पहली धुन शुरू होते ही उसने गायन शुरू किया।En: As the first tune of the guitar started, she began singing.Hi: उसकी आवाज़ पूरे हॉल में गूंज उठी।En: Her voice resonated throughout the hall.Hi: दर्शकों ने ताली बजाकर उसका उत्साहवर्धन किया।En: The audience clapped and encouraged her.Hi: प्रदर्शन खत्म होते ही तालियों की गड़गड़ाहट उसके दिल को खुशी से भर गई।En: As the performance ended, the thunderous applause filled her heart with joy.Hi: उसके शिक्षक और कबीर दोनों ने उसकी तारीफ की।En: Her teacher and Kabir both praised her.Hi: यह वह पल था जब रीया ने अपने ऊपर गर्व महसूस किया।En: It was the moment when Reeya felt proud of herself.Hi: उसने सीखा कि खुद पर विश्वास करने से बड़ी कोई जीत नहीं होती।En: She learned that there is no greater victory than believing in oneself.Hi: उस दिन के बाद, रीया ने कभी खुद की दूसरों से तुलना नहीं की।En: After that day, Reeya never compared herself to others.Hi: वह जान गई थी कि उसकी असली ताकत उसके भीतर ही है।En: She understood that her real strength lay within herself.Hi: शिमला की सर्द शाम में, रीया के दिल में आत्मविश्वास की गर्मी महसूस होने लगी।En: In the cold evening of Shimla, Reeya began to feel the warmth of confidence in her heart.

If you've ever delayed scheduling your mammogram because of fear, discomfort, or sheer overwhelm, you're not alone. Many midlife women quietly carry anxiety about breast health, balancing busy lives while putting their own care on the back burner.  In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Dr. Anjali Malik, a breast imaging and interventional radiologist and passionate advocate for women's health. Together, they break down what mammograms actually involve, why annual screening starting at age 40 matters, and how misinformation has unnecessarily scared women away from a life-saving test. This conversation walks you through what to expect before, during, and after a mammogram, explains dense breast tissue in plain language, and reframes screening as an empowering tool rather than something to fear. Key Takeaways: ✓ Annual mammograms starting at age 40 reduce breast cancer mortality by about 40 percent when cancers are caught early ✓ Most mammogram call-backs are not cancer; out of 1,000 women screened, only about five will have cancer ✓ Dense breast tissue is common and not “bad,” but it can affect both cancer risk and imaging clarity ✓ 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) improves cancer detection and lowers unnecessary call-backs ✓ Early detection often means smaller surgeries, fewer aggressive treatments, and better cosmetic outcomes ✓ Monthly breast self-awareness helps you notice changes early, especially between screenings Listen in, share it with a friend you love, and take that next step for yourself.

Hormones influence far more than reproduction—they shape energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and long-term health. In this episode of A Whole New Level, Dr. Anjali D'Souza joins Mike Haney to explain how women's hormones actually work, why so many symptoms are dismissed as “normal,” and how to interpret labs in a way that reflects real physiology.They discuss why standard hormone panels often miss functional problems, how nutrient status and lifestyle affect hormone signaling, and how symptoms like PMS, fatigue, and brain fog provide meaningful data—not noise.They discuss:Why hormones affect how you feel day to day, not just fertilityThe difference between “normal” lab ranges and optimal functionHow progesterone, estrogen, and cortisol interactWhy PMS is often a signal—not a mysteryHow nutrition, stress, and sleep influence hormone effectivenessSign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠⁠

In this episode of How I Met Your Data, Christina Hois, a data leader with over 30 years in financial services, joins Anjali and Junaid to explore why data challenges rarely stem from technology — and almost always come down to people. Christina shares why breaking down cultural silos, building stakeholder trust, and prioritizing data tied to real business outcomes matter more than deploying new tools. The conversation highlights the critical role of emotional intelligence, credibility, and collaboration in making data governance actually work. The takeaway is clear: technology enables scale, but trust and teamwork determine success.  

On December 4, the entire United Nations Security Council made an unprecedented trip to Syria. It is hard to overstate what a significant turning point this represents — both for the Security Council and the United Nations as a whole. For thirteen long years, the civil war in Syria was the largest and most brutal conflict in the world, and one that stymied the United Nations by exposing massive geopolitical rifts between key global powers. We may now look to Gaza or Ukraine as examples of paralysis at the Security Council — but it was Syria that first broke it. Now, all fifteen members are in Damascus, in an important show of unity. Mark and Anjali break down why this trip is so significant and what role the UN can play in supporting Syria's democratic transition. After the paywall: Mark and Anjali discuss shocking new revelations about the UN's budget, and what the official "pre-launch" of the selection process for the next Secretary-General tells us about how the UN's next leader will be chosen.

In this episode of How I Met Your Data: The Prompt, Anjali and Karen dig into one of the fastest-emerging patterns in development today: vibe coding - the practice of describing what you want and letting an LLM generate the code. It's new. It's evolving. And right now, it's causing as much frustration as it is excitement. Karen breaks down what vibe coding actually looks like in practice: developers prompting AI to produce entire features or files, navigating the wildly different “personalities” of today's LLMs, and learning how to guide systems that might generate brilliant structure… or unintended chaos. Together, they talk through the real friction points - overly eager model behavior, unexpected file changes, incomplete suggestions, and the creeping loss of hands-on debugging skills that used to tie engineers closer to their code. But underneath the surface is a bigger enterprise theme. The rise of vibe coding speaks to deeper issues: end users who still aren't getting what they need, bottlenecks in IT and data teams, and the rapid expansion of citizen development as people search for faster paths to outcomes. Anjali and Karen unpack the operational and governance implications, from maintainability and handoff challenges to compliance blind spots and the need for standards that can coexist with AI-assisted creation. They also dive into where AI does shine today - those repetitive, operational workflows that quietly save teams hours - and why focusing on value, ownership, and workflow design matters far more than chasing the next flashy LLM demo. This episode is an honest, grounded look at how AI-assisted development is taking shape: what's promising, what's painful, and what it means for teams trying to build responsibly, collaboratively, and at scale.

Financial planning expert Anjali Jariwala joins Tracy to discuss the unique financial challenges physician practice owners face and why comprehensive planning requires both personal wealth management and business strategy. With her background in tax and financial planning plus personal ties to the physician community, Anjali offers insider perspective on navigating the complex transition from residency to high earnings, building sustainable businesses, and creating alignment between personal values and professional goals.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The physician financial transition challenge: Why going from minimal resident income to high earnings overnight creates both financial and emotional complications that most physicians aren't trained to handle  Personal before business: Anjali's approach of spending 2-3 months on personal financial planning before touching business finances, and why this sequence creates better long-term alignment  Accountant vs. strategist: The critical distinction between historical accounting and forward-looking financial strategy—and why practice owners need both  Growth barriers decoded: How to recognize when your practice has hit a growth ceiling and what changes are typically needed to break through  The guilt factor: Why physician owners struggle with asking for help or outsourcing tasks, and how to reframe these decisions as strategic investments  Building your professional team: Beyond your clinical team, you need accountants, tax specialists, financial advisors, and attorneys—here's how to leverage them effectively  Know your numbers: Why practice owners must understand their books better than anyone else, even when outsourcing bookkeeping functions  Time as currency: Calculating your hourly rate and using it to make smarter decisions about which tasks to keep versus delegate  Memorable Quotes  "At the end of the day, money is a tool. We have emotions that get tied up in it, but we really need to unwind the emotion from the fact that this is just a tool."  "For many practice owners, your personal finances are so interconnected with the business that I want to have clarity on what you want to achieve personally. So then when I go into the business, we can align everything up to meet those goals."  "Part of it is identifying what are your strengths and where are your weaknesses, and then who are the people that you can plug in to help you with those weaknesses so it's not hindering your ability to grow."  "We spend so much time working in the business because we want to provide good care and take care of our clients and patients, that we don't focus enough time on working on the business."  "There's sometimes feelings of guilt to ask for help. Part of it is really coming at it from a standpoint of: I need help, it's okay to ask for help, and I shouldn't feel guilty about asking for this help because it's going to make my life better, my family's life better, and all the people who work for me better too."  Closing  Anjali's message about releasing the guilt around asking for help really resonates. As practice owners, we often carry this sense that we should be able to handle everything ourselves—but that mindset actually limits our growth and our impact. Whether it's financial planning, operations support, or strategic guidance, building the right team of trusted advisors isn't a weakness—it's how you create a practice that truly thrives.  Bio:  Anjali Jariwala is the founder of FIT Advisors, a financial planning firm serving physicians and business owners across the US. After working with Fortune 500 clients at distinguished firms, Anjali launched her own practice to help clients understand that money is a tool for reaching financial goals—while acknowledging how emotions impact financial decisions. Her expertise in tax and finance has been featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, The New York Times, USA Today, and Business Insider. Beyond financial planning, Anjali is also a children's book author. As a South Asian mom, she wrote Why We Eat With Our Hands to highlight day-to-day cultural traditions and increase representation for children who look like her daughter. Whether through financial advising or children's literature, Anjali is passionate about helping people feel empowered to build the lives they want.  Find Anjali:  Website  LinkedIn  Instagram  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

In the heart of Louisiana, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, more than 150 petrochemical plants spew huge amounts of carbon into our atmosphere—and into the communities they occupy.

The Security Council is deep into negotiations around authorizing an international stabilization force for Gaza.  But even if the Council approves such a mission, will it actually deploy? In this episode of To Save Us From Hell,  Mark and Anjali share their doubts. Also up: the Trump administration blew up a global deal to put a price on carbon in international shipping — a move that would have pushed the industry toward zero emissions. Mark and Anjali break down this latest clash between Washington and the U.N. But first, Anjali and Mark sit down with Heba Aly, director of a new coalition called Article 109, which is taking on a bold mission: reforming the U.N. Charter itself. Article 109 is a little-known provision of the Charter that enables member states to review and revise it — but it's never been invoked. So, is now the right time to open up the U.N. Charter to review? What would that actually entail? And is it even a good idea? Listen and learn!
