Hi I'm Krutika, and today's conversation is with Miraj.
While he’s only in his 20s, his story starts over a decade ago when he was just 14. After sudden, and severe migraines as well as unexplained vomiting, a scan revealed something no one could’ve expected: a brain tumour.
Within days, he was having surgery. A surgery that could have gone either way.
What he shares reflecting on that time, the diagnosis, the pain, the memories before surgery and the clarity that came afterwards…it's all so raw, and powerful, and incredibly moving. Honestly, I found myself getting emotional just listening.
But what really struck me is how he’s carried that experience into his life today. The wisdom he brings, the peace he’s found, and his approach to the world, it’s something we could all learn from.
If you’ve been needing a reminder to slow down and live with a little more intention, this one’s for you.
