Episode 2: You’re Not Broken — The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Many of us carry a quiet belief that something is wrong with us, even when life looks fine on the outside. In this episode, Sheetal and Sheeba explore how the private stories we tell ourselves shape how we feel, react, and show up at home, at work, and in our relationships. Through real-life stories, from parenting moments to high-stakes professional interactions, they unpack how these narratives run on autopilot and fuel stress, self-doubt, and reactivity. Listeners are invited to pause, notice the See–Feel–Act loop, and experiment with small reframes that create more clarity, steadiness, and choice. A gentle reminder runs throughout: you are not broken; the story just needs to be seen.

Welcome to the very first episode of My Edge of Clarity

In the first episode of My Edge of Clarity, co-hosts Dr. Sheetal Karnik and Sheeba Bedi introduce the purpose behind the podcast and the shared experiences that inspired it. They explore what it feels like to look successful on the outside while feeling restless, unfulfilled, or disconnected on the inside—especially for those balancing careers, families, relationships, and personal ambitions.

Through honest conversation and reflection, Sheetal and Sheeba discuss the pressure to meet expectations, the challenge of showing up authentically, and why these struggles are far more common than we realize. They share their own professional and personal journeys, highlighting how clarity often begins when we pause, question long-held narratives, and give ourselves permission to evolve.

This episode sets the foundation for the You’re Not Broken series, introducing the idea that the inner stories we tell ourselves shape how we feel, act, and move through life. With warmth and insight, the hosts invite listeners to slow down, reflect, and begin their journey toward greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
