In the third episode this season, we’re diving into a topic that’s uncomfortable, often avoided, yet deeply powerful: Rage.

Our riddlers, Sarbari and Pratibha, attempt to understand rage, its origins, how it shapes us and our systems, its cyclical relationship with shame and ways to engage with it healthily. We unpack how rage lives in our bodies; its intergenerational echoes; its ties to intersectional identities, especially gender and sexuality and how, at its core, it is an intelligence trying to protect something sacred within us.

About the Guest: The passionate and insightful Sarbari Gomes Dasgupta is an OD practitioner, coach, therapist and facilitator whose work centers on emotional healing, somatic intelligence, and systemic transformation. She is also the CEO of Reflexive Lenses Consulting, the organization that houses the Existential Universe Mapper (EUM) framework and tools.

About the Host: Pratibha Pathak, works at the intersection of culture, leadership and stories, supporting organisations in finding the rhythm that best suits them. An OD practitioner, facilitator, storyteller and artist, she invites us to hold complexity with curiosity, connection and play!

In this second episode, we unpack how boys internalize masculinity through culture, systems, and early experiences, drawing from the TV series Adolescence.

Our Riddlers, Gagandeep Singh and Kartik Shah, explore:

• What does it mean to be a man today?
• How did masculinity become tied to dominance and disconnection?
• What can help boys cross the bridge to a more integrated, healthy manhood?

Together, they navigate the evolving meanings of manhood and hold space with tenderness for the audience to journey alongside.
