Aarti in conversation with a guest in the Breaking the Mold studio

Breaking the Mold

A podcast hosted by Aarti Gayadin

Conversations we were never taught to have.

Questions we rarely say out loud

  1. 01Who were you before anyone told you who to be?
  2. 02What did you carry that was never yours?
  3. 03When did you first choose for yourself?
  4. 04What would success look like if no one was watching?
Breaking the Mold podcast cover — Aarti Gayadin

Why it exists

Some conversations are long overdue. The ones about who we were taught to be, what we carry, what we question, and who we might become when we finally choose for ourselves.

“I created Breaking the Mold because these conversations need to happen. Because it is time to address, unpack and understand the things we have learned to leave unsaid. And because, more than anything, I wish everyone the freedom to live their own life.”

— Aarti Gayadin, host

Inside the conversations.

Real people. Unscripted perspectives. Conversations about the courage to live beyond other people's definitions of success.
