Ever feel like you’re living a version of success that no longer applies? That who you are has somehow taken a backseat to what you do?
Meet Judy—a high-achieving professional who checked off all the right boxes but now feels like she’s lost touch with her true self. In this episode of XO Conversations, I sit down with Judy after she's made big changes in her life and in her career.
Judy’s journey is a reflection of a struggle many of us face: we get so focused on career milestones and the “shoulds” of success that our sense of self fades into the background. Together, we talk through the real fears, surprising insights, and gentle self-discovery steps that can help you reconnect with what you want after what you want evolves.
I share some practical exercises you can try right now to start uncovering what you really want from life, how you can redefine success, plus tips on how to stay kind to yourself in the process. Because —rewriting the rules isn’t easy. But with each step, you’re building a life that feels more true to you.

Ever wonder why you’re so exhausted after a full night’s sleep? Or why “just take a deep breath” sometimes doesn’t cut it? Here’s the kicker: we’ve been breathing our whole lives, but most of us are still doing it wrong.
In today’s episode, we’re taking a closer look at the one thing we’re doing all day, every day, without thinking—our breath. Inspired by James Nestor’s book Breath, someone's shocking sleep apnea diagnosis, and even my own asthma experience preparing to hike Machu Picchu, this episode breaks down why your breath matters way more than you think.
We'll explore a few easy (and research-backed!) techniques you can try right now to feel more energized, focused, and calm—without adding more to your to-do list. If you’re looking for a small shift that leads to a big impact, this episode will help you understand how the way you breathe can change everything.

Can you just do something for the pure joy of it? Or does your brain automatically turn every hobby into a set of goals? In this episode, we dives into the pressures we feel to turn our hobbies into something productive, the constant push for 'bigger and better,' and how we can learn to enjoy hobbies for what they are. We explore why many of us struggle to simply enjoy our free time activities without feeling the need to justify or excel at them. If you’re tired of turning hobbies into a side hustle or Olympic sport, this episode is for you.

When was the last time you did something just for you? No obligations, no guilt, just pure, unfiltered joy. If you’re struggling to even remember, you’re not alone. Between the chaos of family, work, and everything else, it’s easy to lose track of what lights you up.
In this episode, we’re diving into the topic of hobbies, why they seem so hard to start (or keep), and how you can reconnect with what brings you fulfillment—even if you’re convinced there’s no time. I’ll share practical strategies for carving out space for yourself, guilt-free, and we’ll explore how rediscovering a simple passion could be the key to recharging your energy and finding yourself again.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing out on your own life, this one’s for you.

And more importantly, how we can shift that perspective to a more positive, empowering and compassionate narrative.

It's one thing to want to learn and grow and reach your goals. It's another thing to push through - harder and harder - until things start to fall apart. But it's not always easy to know where that line is.
Ambition is important. It keeps us focused and helps us work hard. But if you're feeling like you keep racing towards a finish line that keeps moving further and further away, or like you're starting to miss out on other things in life, if you're always wondering 'what's next' without ever feeling like you've arrived, this episode is for you.
In today's episode as we unpack the myth of perpetual achievement and explore what happens when the thrill of the chase starts to wear off. It's a heart-to-heart on the true price of checking off all the boxes of success and how sometimes, the most significant growth comes from re-evaluating what you're chasing in the first place.

We've all been there, at the edge of a life-changing decision - maybe it’s moving across the world for love, changing careers, or even starting a family. These choices can be exciting, they can be for people we love, they can be for something wonderful. But they're also choices that bring change, and loss of an old life, a previous identity, something familiar. This episode is about embracing the full spectrum of those choices, acknowledging the bittersweet farewells as much as the exciting hellos.
You’ll be inspired by change, and also you'll get strategies to honour both the gains and losses on your path.
This isn’t just about making decisions; it’s about making peace with them.

Ever feel like your gratitude practice is just another thing on your never-ending to-do list? You're not alone. This week, your host, Dr. Rishma Walji, discusses the not-so-perfect journey of finding true gratitude amidst life's messes.
This episode isn't about the picture-perfect moments of thankfulness we see plastered on social media. It's about the gritty, real-life stuff. It's about turning "gratitude" from a buzzword into a lifeline, discovering joy in the mundane, and learning how to see the silver lining even when it feels like life is just a series of clouds.
Dr. Walji doesn't just share her story; she dives into the why and how, blending science with actionable tips that go beyond the journal. Think gratitude through laughter, tears, and those in-between moments.
Why listen? Because life's too short for superficial gratitude. Join us for real talk, genuine stories, and science-backed insights that promise to breathe new life into your daily grind. Let's get messy, let's get real, and let's find joy together.
About Your Host: Dr. Rishma Walji is your guide on this journey of self-discovery and intentional living. With a background in naturopathy and a PhD, she's spent over 20 years helping people navigate the ups and downs of life with grace, empathy, and science. When she's not podcasting, you can find her globe-trotting, dancing, or sipping on a warm cup of chai, with a smile and an open heart.

Have you ever felt confined by a label, whether self-imposed or given by others? Do terms like 'introvert,' 'perfectionist,' or even 'successful' resonate with you, but also feel limiting at times? We dissect how these labels, while sometimes validating, can also create unnecessary boundaries that restrict our growth and potential.
Discover the impact of positive labeling and how embracing new identities can lead to significant life changes. We discuss the science behind labeling theory, the brain's remarkable ability to rewire itself, and how adopting empowering labels can alter our thought patterns and self-esteem. Learn how shifting from 'I have to' to 'I get to' can transform your daily routine from a chore to an eagerly anticipated activity.
This episode is full of personal journey as well as a thoughtful guide to understanding and harnessing the labels that define us. Whether you're looking to break free from stereotypes, seek motivation for a new endeavor, or simply gain insights into your own identity, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I share with you a story that’s close to my heart – a story about an accidental family heirloom that's much more than just a piece of jewelry.
Today is all about a special necklace that's woven through the generations of my family. A history that is interconnected with my own, and hopefully with future generations. It's a symbol of love, a bridge between past and present, and a reminder of the laughter, tears and love that binds us.
This necklace isn’t just an accessory; it’s a storyteller, whispering tales of my family's love and strength and the bonds that have shaped who I am.
As you listen, think about the stories that live within your own family. Maybe it’s a recipe, a photograph, or an old letter. Like our necklace, these are more than objects; they’re the threads that connect us to our past and guide us into our future.
I hope this episode inspires you to explore the depths of your own family history and the beauty of living intentionally. It's about finding meaning in the little things and understanding how our roots influence our wings.
So grab a cozy spot and join me. Let's discover together how our families, in all their ups and downs, shape our paths and how we can honour their legacy in our daily lives.
