About this listen

Why Me? Why Not Me? – A Series About Real Women, Real Stories, Redefining Priorities.


Growing up in a South Asian household, I saw women—mothers, sisters, friends—put everyone else first, often at the cost of their own well-being. But what happens when they decide to prioritize themselves too?


Why Me? Why Not Me? is a series that brings you real, unfiltered conversations with women who have chosen to carve out time for their mental and physical well-being—without guilt, without hesitation. From working moms to entrepreneurs, single women to stay-at-home moms, these are stories of strength, resilience, and redefining priorities.


No lessons. No preaching. Just stories worth hearing. And if even one of them resonates with you, that’s a win for all of us.


Subscribe, listen in, and join the conversation.

  • Episode 9: Why Not Her? – From Caregiver to Climber of Her Own Mountains
    Sep 21 2025

    What about me? — a quiet question many women ask themselves but rarely say out loud.


    In Episode 09 of Why Me? Why Not Me!, we sit down with Harshita Sapru – or as many of us know her, Harshi. For nearly three decades, she’s been the heart of her family, the behind-the-scenes cheerleader for others… and now, she’s finally learning to cheer for herself.


    From reversing her diabetes with sheer will and movement, to letting go of self-doubt, to conquering mountain base camps (yes, actual mountains 🏔️)—this is a story of rediscovery, self-worth, and quiet but powerful transformation.


    Whether you’re a mother, a woman in transition, or just someone wondering if it’s too late to start again—this one is for you.


    🎧 Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Deezer and YouTube.

    💛 If Harshi can do it, why not you?

  • Episode 8: Why Not Her? – Vanessa on Rebuilding, Resilience and the In-Between
    Aug 24 2025

    “Vanessa redefined progress — not as performance, but as presence.”


    Vanessa didn’t just heal after surgery — she rebuilt herself from the ground up. In this episode, she opens up about the long road back: from physical limitations and mental hurdles to launching The Comeback Collective — a space born from her own transformation.


    She didn’t roar her way through recovery. She paced herself, paid attention to her body, and redefined what progress looks like. Today, she finds power in movement, joy in running again, and strength in starting — not from scratch, but from experience.


    This is not just a comeback story. This is a recalibration — of strength, softness, and self-worth.


    🎧 Available now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & all your favorite platforms.
