概要

 Supriya Sharma is an entrepreneur, mother to three-year-old Samara, and someone who has built her life without a template — quite deliberately. In this episode, she talks about straddling Bangalore and the Bay Area, seven months of solo parenting while launching a business, a postpartum experience that was both hormonal and humbling, and a birth story that left her in a state of trance. She speaks with rare openness about resentment, resilience, the village she built with intention, and why she thinks nine-to-five is inherently patriarchal. This is a conversation about holding everything at once — and slowly learning not to drop yourself.Why You Should ListenIf you've ever felt guilty about a nap, questioned whether nature is sexist, or wondered how other parents keep going when the systems fall apart — this one is for you. Supriya doesn't perform wellness. She talks about the hard first month of solo parenting, the postpartum resentment nobody warned her about, and the two years it took to stop measuring her worth by her output. She also talks about joy — about a daughter who is basically a tiny guru, a café that doubles as her office, and why fun is not just for weekends.Notable Quotes"I joke about this decade being the messy, messy, messy middle — somewhere in this spectrum of life where everything is happening at once.""Sometimes I'm just jealous of a dad brain. Why are there so many tabs open in my head?""Is nature sexist? That's how the resentment bit started.""It felt like Samara was there listening, waiting for us to get ready.""Don't measure your self-worth by how productive you are today. It took me two years to fully let go of that.""Nine to five is extremely patriarchal. I do not think I can operate like that."Practical TakeawaysBuild your village with intention. Supriya and her husband actively requested her parents to relocate. The village doesn't always show up — sometimes you have to design it.Protect one routine anchor. No matter the continent, Samara's nap schedule stayed sacred. Consistency in one area can hold everything else together.Productivity looks different postpartum. Block your calendar for rest without apology. Supriya has been doing it since pregnancy — and credits it for her output, not despite it.Trust your gut over the timeline. She delayed her business launch by two and a half months because solo parenting demanded it. The business still happened.Resources & ReferencesVipassana meditation: dhamma.orgPostpartum mental health — If this episode brought something up for you, iCall India (9152987821) offers accessible counselling support.The productivity myth in motherhood — Also discussed in Episode 53 ft.
