About This Episode
Life after 55 is shaped not just by choices and habits, but by the subconscious patterns that guide how we think, feel, and act. Aligning the subconscious mind can bring clarity, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of purpose during life’s major transitions.
In this episode, Mihir sits down with Nitin Shah — counselling psychologist, educator, and founder of ICHARS — to unpack one of the most powerful forces shaping our behaviour: the subconscious mind.
