Through a variety of roles as a student of both Economics and Music, an orchestral musician, and a music administrator, Ab shares his wisdom about the "lived experiences" each of us can attest to, and the importance of showing up with those different lived experiences that contribute to making our world a richer place.

Ab Sengupta: Our Lived Experiences

In the opening episode of Season 6, your host, Pallavi Mahidhara, shares her perspective on perfectionism, boundaries, and having compassion for yourself. This season very spontaneously developed common themes through the conversations with our guests around finding ones identity, struggling with perfectionism and failure, and learning how to trust oneself and fight for what aligns with us. Part of sharing our struggles and being vulnerable means the possibility for collective healing. So thank you all for the beautiful community we are growing. Welcome to Season 6.
