About this listen

 Today, Harinder and Alicia explore the theme of ‘Cosy Comforts’. Together, they dive into the sensory experiences that bring us peace, from the warmth of a blanket on a rainy day to the emotional safety found in a loved one’s embrace. Harinder and Alicia discuss how ‘escapism’ can actually be a grounding form of self-care and share personal stories about family, childhood memories, and the simple rituals that help quiet the mind. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating a cosy moment is often a premeditated act of self-love. It is about consciously choosing to relish an experience without guilt. Allowing yourself to ‘escape’, whether into a K-drama or by staring out a window, can be a way to centre yourself, affirming that you are safe enough to let your mind wander. You don't need to be in your living room to find peace; comfort can be found in a busy train station, a coffee shop, or even just by looking up at the sky. Just as we seek safety, we can become a source of stillness and security for the people we love, creating a beautiful, mutual cycle of care. Children are experts at identifying and demanding exactly what they need to feel safe, reminding adults that it is vital to recognise and honor our own needs for comfort. BEST MOMENTS "It's very much a place we go to, to relax, take it easy... melting, being able to let go, feel safe and secure." "There's no guilt involved. It's something that you are consciously doing to love yourself, to say, 'Yeah, you know what? I count.' Let me do something that's going to be fun for me." "Just allowing myself to fully be physically. I know that I'm in a safe enough place that I can go and do that with my mind." "There's a portable cosy memory, a memory you have you could use to bring you back to that cosy and safe space." "For me to feel that he feels so anchored and so still, there's a huge benefit to our health when we experience something like that."

Having worked closely with people from all over the world professionally in a corporate setting and since, carving out my own path in the past few years. I am an illustrator, artist and designer. I use intuitive creativity and my leadership skills for transformational coaching. I also create tools for personal and team development. Not new to podcasting, I have previously co-created a mini podcast series called How to Land Your Ideal Job. With this podcast series, I wanted to share my life learnings particularly during the fallow period of life when my life’s direction has not been clear and I’ve had to dig deep below the various identities I had collected and assumed to reconnect with who I really am. Digging through the proverbial lead to share golden nuggets of insight. I hope to take people on mellow belly button contemplations that lead to questions for self inquiry and open up new imagined possibilities to new realities.
