Join me, Masoom Minawala, for one of the most candid conversations I’ve ever hosted—featuring Mona Mirza, who treats faces and feelings with equal care. This episode turns the beauty debate into a deeper dialogue about intention, identity, and self-love.Having worked in the beauty industry since the age of 18 in London UK, Mona’s experience spans over 30 years. She began her career as a cosmetologist & at the start of the beauty laser revolution in the 90’s was one of the very first licensed laser & IPL supervisors / practitioners in UK, fondly known as the IPL queen by her clients. Her love for treating skin began as a personal journey which culminated into a passion to heal & treat problematic skin using a vast array of technology, medical grade skin care especially formulated for Biolite in USA & a deep respect for one’s skin.Conversation Highlights- Intention before injection: How psychological profiling, honest consultations, and boundary-setting protect patients—and why the right clinic sometimes says *no*.- Botox vs. fillers, demystified: Where each works (forehead, eyes, jaw, even traps), how long they last, why “micro-dosing” is rising, and the real risks (like ptosis) when technique is poor.- Lips, reimagined: From dissolving overfilled lips to today’s definition-first approach that respects South Asian features and aims for balance, not projection.- What’s in & what they skip:Polynucleotides (“salmon protein”) and skin boosters for glow; biostimulators for post-weight-loss laxity; PRP/vampire facial and regenerative stem-cell work—plus why they avoid thread lifts (infection/necrosis risk).If you’re curious about injectables, overwhelmed by TikTok routines, or simply want healthier, brighter skin without losing yourself, this conversation will ground you. Whether you’re a creator under public pressure or anyone rethinking beauty on your terms, you’ll leave clearer, calmer, and more in control.Takeaways- Start with skin health, not shortcuts. Improve barrier, sleep, stress, hydration—then decide on procedures.- Ask “Why now?” before “What next?” Intention is the difference between fixing and masking.- Design, don’t imitate. South Asian features aren’t copy-paste—seek harmony over trends.- Technique IS BETTER than trend : Many “side effects” are practitioner error; expertise and settings matter.- Confidence is holistic. The best results blend lifestyle, psychology, and precise treatment.Watch at 1.5x speed for a faster, more efficient listen.🎙️ About the show:Hosted by Masoom Minawala, The Masoom Minawala Show brings honest, vulnerable conversations with changemakers, creators, and entrepreneurs.

Join me for one of the most grounding, eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had—featuring a renowned psychologist and parenting expert on raising emotionally resilient kids without yelling. If you’ve ever wondered how to set firm boundaries and still stay soft, this is your must-listen.From years of working with families across India, our guest saw a pattern: adults carrying childhood wounds of being unseen, unheard, or compared—then unconsciously passing those patterns on. She turned that insight into action, blending neuroscience with simple, daily practices that help parents regulate first, so children can co-regulate and thrive. Her work—spanning research on humming, visualization, and EFT—champions a transformative message: you can’t delete old memories, but you can rewire your responses and break the cycle.* Emotional Neglect, Defined: what it looks like in everyday Indian homes (minimizing feelings, constant “don’t cry,” parental fights behind closed doors) and how it shapes anxiety and hyper-vigilance in kids.* Calm ≠ Permissive: why “calmly disciplining” works, and how authoritative (warm + firm) parenting leads to the best outcomes—academically, socially, emotionally.* Repair After Rupture: a step-by-step way to apologize, co-regulate with touch and breath, and reset the relationship without normalizing repeated blow-ups.* The 80/20 of Boundaries: pick two battles out of ten; let the rest be learning moments (like feeling cold in shorts) to build independence without power struggles.* A Nervous-System Toolkit for Busy Parents: abdominal/coherent breathing, *evidence-backed* humming, EFT tapping, and nightly visualization rituals you can do as a family in 5–10 minutes.* Rewriting Harmful Scripts: moving beyond comparisons, body-shaming, and scarcity talk (“we’ll become poor”) to language that builds self-worth, resilience, and respect.If you’re a parent (or future parent) juggling work stress, guilt, and meltdowns—or an adult trying to break inherited patterns—this episode will give you calm, practical tools and a gentler way to lead. You’ll leave with scripts, rituals, and a new confidence: discipline can be firm, and love can be steady.Key Takeaways- Calm is a strategy: “Calmly” is how you discipline, not what you do instead of discipline.-You can’t delete memories—only reconsolidate them: change the body’s associations, change your reactions.Practice before the crisis: daily regulation makes the “pause” available when triggers hit.One buffering adult can change a trajectory: it doesn’t have to be a parent—safety is relational.Pick your battles, lead with warmth: clarity + kindness beat control every time.Watch at 1.5x speed for a faster, more efficient listen.Want to buy Masoom’s book?
