Why is it sometimes so difficult to say no to people? Why do we give so much thought to how other people perceive us? Why do we fear disappointing others so much? Why do we view No as being so bad? Have you ever wanted to say no to someone but worried that you would offend them or lose their trust? Are you currently in a situation that you didn't want to be in and regret saying yes to? When you really didn't want to, have you ever agreed to something with someone else? Are you feeling remorseful, confused, sad, or disappointed in yourself?  You are not alone; I have also been on this journey and have developed significantly as a person and in my relationships with myself and others.  Join me in this podcast lets connect through our problems. your dear friend Shreeja.

Have you ever had a pet? Did you ever feel that raising a pet is similar to raising a baby? Or if you are wondering about getting home a pet, think about it again if you are ready to take that responsibility. Here I would like to share my experience of why I believe raising either of them is quite the same.  References: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/opinion/climate-change-parenting.html https://topdogtips.com/millennials-on-parenthood-opting-for-pets/ -- A podcast by Nilofar
