Hi! My name is Sudhanya, and I am the host of the podcast. I started this initiative with a simple intention: To breathe in life into our souls - in short, inspire! As a seeker of truth, I have an intense curiosity to broaden awareness through real stories & real people. To be authentic. But that needs courage. Courage to confront harsh truths, introspect unseen biases and being open to new ideas. And that's exactly what we discuss in this podcast. Welcome to Real Talk with Sudhanya!

Sober life, ADHD neuro-minority

Romy is an advocate of sober life and ADHD awareness. We live in a world where drinking alcohol is absolutely normal, or even celebrated. Romy is a role model when it comes to choosing an alcohol-free sober life. Although she did not experience alcoholism herself, she questioned the norm early on and found alcohol to be a quick short-cut and a temporary solution to a bigger societal problem: numbing our neurodiversity. Accepting the diverse beauty of our brains is a strength. In this conversatio...

Basics of movement: foundation for physical & mental well-being

Fitness industry leader and owner of Unscared fitness, Willem Hilberdink is passionate about movement. He talks about necessity of learning basic motor movements (like squats, hinge, push, pull) and shares how traditional gym limits our body movement range, if machine is your only fitness routine. What I really love about this conversation is looking at fitness beyond individual aesthetic gains, and how society, governments and communities play an important role in the future of physical & m...

Fake Feminism

I remember the day when this podcast about ‘Fake Feminism’ was birthed; Neha shared with me a story of an acquaintance whose teenage daughter tried to commit suicide because she didn’t feel pretty. In the age of tik-tok and snapchat filters, it’s high time we guide our girls to a refined definition of beauty & feminism. Just not redefine, but embody ourselves to provide versatile role models. To explore a multidimensional perspective on feminism, I have two multi talented guests; We shared o...

Iran Women's revolution

I am naive about geo-political topics but the recent Iran revolution caught my attention. May be the first ever revolution initiated by the women for the women. For basic human rights of freedom & choice. To be sovereign. To be able to choose if one wants to cover their hair or follow a religion of choice or roam in the streets without fear! It’s not an issue of one particular region, in so many ways it appeals to me and I am in a quest to find ‘what is freedom’, if we were to birth a new wo...

Wounded healer, Embracing truth, Living by power Vs force, Peace warrior, Boxing

This conversation is the rawest real talk so far. Shanita has dared to look deep into the darkness of truth and found her light. Witnessing an extreme wound of domestic violence, addiction, consequences of historical slavery and much more, she took me deeper into truth and showed the power of being. A talk that shook me to core and made me realise the world of silent suffering when living with open wounds, the shattering consequences of unhealed emotional pain, and encouraging us to face the tru...

Walk from Netherlands to India, Wounded masculine, Spirituality as practical tool

Chris (Christian de Heij) is a brave man travelling the dark inward journey as he walks from the Netherlands to India. Yes! You heard me right, he is WALKING alone. His quest to look deeper into his wounds, drop the emotional and mental baggages on the way, find the healed masculine within and aim to share that medicine with all is AWE-INSPIRING. We had this conversation while he reached Sofia, Bulgaria. Almost mid way and four months into his trip. The wisdom in his words reflected the hard inn...

Author of 33 books! Writing coach, meditation, unusual visual gift

I am amazed by the modesty of my next guest, he has written 33 books.. What! How? Why? Bradley Charbonneau is a serial author, speaker, coaches budding writers and gifted with an unusual visual capability when he meditates. Very interesting talk. What's really cool about him is that he is convinced that we are all book authors and writing can be one of the most healing processes to compute the complex beings we are. Give it a try. Enjoy!

Purpose, data vs emotions, raising frequency, observing darkness

My very first podcast guest, Dr. Katharina Schmidt is back. But this time roles reversed. An executive leadership coach and official member of Forbes coach council, Katharina, in her gracious style asked me to be at the hot seat of real talk. Her curiosity to know my purpose opened me to share a part of me that I had kept hidden. Fear of judgement and shame of owning my gifts has been a constant struggle; I felt shy but never the less, I know its high time to embrace our authentic selves. Let's ...

Mental illness, coming out of spiritual closet, Visibility coach, ritual vs habit

This conversation is literally 'Out of the World'. Why? My next guest, Susan de Vriend, is brutally honest, open and visionary. Her courage to share about her own mental illness history and how modern diagnosis methods are cruelly prejudiced, unable to embrace human diversity blew my mind. She challenges the rational mind to look beyond and embrace dimensions that science is yet to prove, but that doesn't mean we can't trust our experiences. Her super power is Self-Empowerment, she leads by exam...

Wannabe rockstar to suburban dad, science of creativity

David gives keynotes and workshops on the science of creativity. His aim is to nudge us all to believe that we are creatives and hence have the capacity to change our reality.

It's all about solving a challenge. He is also a poet, a published author, a podcaster and once (upon a time) a wanna be rockstar! The rocks...

Trying hard to fit in, corporate success followed by burnout, female empowerment

Since centuries women have been socially conditioned to have extreme outward beauty standards and we are paying the price now. Poor body image has spiralled down to collective mental health issues, inauthentic body fixes & unfulfilling relationships. It’s high time that we see our bodies for the miracles it performs and not just for outward (unreal) standards. It’s high time we embrace diverse definitions of beauty and empower our soul to see the body as a temple. My next guest, Anne-Claire ...

Social (non)acceptance, unconventional career, feminine rising, womb healing

Knowledge is sacred. In my quest to dive deeper into realms of reality, I met Neha. Out of curiosity, I signed up for a Womb healing session with her. And oh boy! it unleashed a new dimension in me. A well-known professional photographer, Neha Mangat was kind enough to share her treasure of knowledge about the feminine quality that we all carry. Men or Women, do watch it! After her own journey of healing from early childhood trauma which was dormant throughout her life, revolving around wounded ...

Self-Love, relationships, leaving corporate comfort and shamanism

Josta left the comfort of a stable corporate job and a long term co-dependent relationship to find her way back to herself. Her soft yet peaceful & powerful presence blew away my mind.
