Yameer Adhar, host of Voices In My Head gets inside the head of Sumiran Annamaria Kashyap. She a 33 year old private banking recruitment consultant turned freelance lifestyle brand writer. In the digital world, she’s known as Thinking Totty, a platform whereby she engages with brands on collaboration ideas and execution of brand storytelling, besides blogging about fashion, beauty, and wellness. Currently, she supports communications and strategy firm Longform (formerly VTY) and their clients. She works independently with clients as well, and likes to collaborate with publications and think tanks when the opportunity presents itself. Sumiran is a scholar of divination methods and metaphysical healing, with a particular interest in the Thoth Tarot, Angel Communications and Crystal Healing. She credits these realms, Ayurvedic rituals, and Dr. Edward Bach’s Flower Remedy system for bringing her closer to who she’s always wanted to be. In her own time, she likes to catch up on her reading. She loves chocolates, chai, coffee, and children.
The discussion on this episode of the podcast is about Sumiran's wellness journey, how she dealt with the loss of a parent, her knowledge and experience with divination methods, metaphysical healing and much more. Sumiran is a deep thinker and a spiritually evolved soul which is why this has turned out to be the longest episode of the podcast till date (split between Part 1 & Part 2). In the short time that I have got to know her she has taught me a lot about life. She has inspired me to keep taking steps towards my goals daily and find the courage to continue to fight my own demons.

SHOW NOTES:
Get the most from Podcasts [1:35]
Listen to any podcast twice as fast by increasing the playback speed of the player you are using. For example, on YouTube while the video is playing, go into the settings and increase the "playback speed" from "normal" or "1.0" to 1.25 or 1.5 and eventually your brain will learn to process even faster speeds. I typically listen to podcast and audiobooks between 1.5 to 1.75 speed which allows me to save a lot of my time and this allows me to learn more in a shorter amount of time. Podcasts are meant to be heard rather than watched but if you prefer to watch them then YouTube is the place for you to consume them.
Knowing Your "Fitness" Data is Critical [8:29]
I recommend that everyone should invest in a fitness tracker that amongst other metrics collects data on your heart rate and sleep. This is important because one of the ways you will know that you are getting say improved sleep because of a certain positive change to your lifestyle is through the data that your fitness tracker will gather and trust me this kind of data is almost impossible for anyone to capture on their own without the aid of a device.
Fix Your SLEEP first [9:24]
One of the most critical pillars of health is proper sleep. Quality sleep is more important than quantity. Unfortunately the number of hours of sleep (quantity) is said to be 7 to 9 hours is focused on much more than sleep quality. Targeting to get say 2 hours each of REM and Deep Sleep are more important than getting 8 hours of "disturbed" sleep.
Poor Sleep = Illness [16:16]
Being sleep deprived is one of the worst things you can do to your health. Sleep deprived people are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, crave sugar and unhealthy foods and have lower immunity amongst a host of other health issues. The more sleep deprived you are the more the body produces stress hormones like cortisol which suppresses your immunity leading to illness/infections, etc. Make sure you sleep in a cool/cold, dark room. Use an eye mask if you need to because even small LED lights emitted by your air conditioner and tv are enough to disrupt your sleep.
Natural "Sleeping Pill" [19:09]
I have experimented with some natural "supplements" for sleep. The ones that work for me are Organic India 'Peaceful Sleep' which has herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha and Tulsi as its main components. Both my REM and Deep sleep times go up when I take this pill. Also, I regularly consume organic Camomile Tea with organic Raw Honey after dinner which also helps me to get a good night's sleep.

Yameer Adhar, host of Voices In My Head gets inside the head of fitness freak and "Woodstocker" Sheena Uppal. Sheena studiedy Fashion Marketing at the London College of Fashion and is the founder of Rengé - a leading womenswear brand. Her true calling is working for the welfare of street animals.
The discussion on this episode of the podcast ranges from Self-destructive Behaviour, Relationships, Addictions, Marriage/Divorce, Fitness, THERAPY and a whole lot more . Sheena's ability to look at life with "super" positivity is enviable and I can empathise with the mental health struggles she has faced over the years. Speaking to her has helped me to take hard decisions and find the courage to continue to fight my own demons.
Sheena spent most of her adolescent years attending a boarding school in the Himalayas. Those years she spent at Woodstock School in Mussoorie were some of the most impactful and formative years of her life.
She moved to Mumbai in 2013 and spent three years there. It was during the end of her time in Mumbai and in the midst of a personal storm that Sheena started Rengé. Rengé means lotus flower. A lotus flower is beautiful, yet it grows through muddy waters. Rengé brought her back to life, and gave her the first glimpse of confidence and hope that she lacked yet needed.
Today Sheena lives a balanced, disciplined and wholesome life which she is proud of and has worked very hard to achieve.

Parul gave up a flourishing corporate career to pursue a humanitarian mission to help people suffering from mental disorders. She is a Director at Sanjivni Society for Mental Health - the leading NGO providing FREE mental health counseling services for anyone who needs them.
As the host of Voices In My Head, it is my mission to educate as many people as possible about mental health because for years I was depressed and anxious but just didn't know that I was. The first step towards solving any problem is realising that there is one. You or your loved one may be suffering from a mental illness but no longer do you have to suffer in silence or be in denial about it.
