What happens when you stop chasing success, stop clinging to culture, and start questioning your own sense of self? In this introspective and provocative episode, host Saadia Khan sits down with philosopher, author, and content creator Rajeev Balasubramanyam to unpack everything from immigrant ambition to ego, burnout, respect, and the illusion of identity.
Rajeev, known for his calm yet incisive Instagram videos, delves into how spiritual practice, inner child work, and self-love have shaped his politics and parenting and why he believes that if we don’t unlearn our obsession with fixed identities, we may self-destruct as a species.
Whether you’re an immigrant navigating belonging or someone questioning what it means to be you, this conversation offers both discomfort and clarity in equal measure.
