A global medical / dental advisor for Dental Protection, 30-year practice owner, former strategic associate dean, and Magic Circle member - join us for a conversation spanning a lifetime in dentistry and beyond.

   Climbing Your Own Mountain: Disha Maru

   In this episode, we sit down with clinical pharmacist turned holistic coach Disha @jayanddisha, who took a career break to move to Mexico and co-found Ollinova. A method designed for people who have tried therapy, coaching, and self-help and found that insight alone didn't shift anything. Disha opens up about growing up as the "trophy kid," burning out from years of chasing external validation, and the health scare that pushed her to rethink everything. You can expect an honest conversation about redefining success on your own terms, the pressure of societal milestones (marriage, kids, career "shoulds"), and how tapping into the subconscious mind - through coaching, breathwork, and inner work - can create lasting change. ************************************************ Sign up to our newsletter: https://tejals-newsletter-6ee8e5.beehiiv.com/ (https://tejals-newsletter-6ee8e5.beehiiv.com/) ⁠Instagram:⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/rootsandresiliencepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MW11NG40ZmZkdnRqdw==) @Rootsandresiliencepodcast Email: rootsandresiliencepodcast@gmail.com (mailto:rootsandresiliencepodcast@gmail.com) ************************************************ Subscribe and Comment: Loved this episode?

   Finding Home in the Diaspora: Sejal Kargal

   This week, we’re joined by Sejal Kargal - an Indian-American multidisciplinary artist, creative producer, fusion singer-songwriter, DJ, and founder of UNDEFINED and rosewater, one of the first diaspora-led music festivals of its kind in the U.S. Based in New York City, Sejal navigates the worlds of tech, arts, culture, and entrepreneurship, creating spaces that feel like home for people who have left pieces of themselves behind in pursuit of something new. Through UNDEFINED, she has produced events across New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco, building platforms that amplify underrepresented diasporic voices and expand access to cultural and economic opportunity. A Carnatic-trained vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Sejal blends global sounds and cultural storytelling to create deeply immersive experiences rooted in memory, identity, and connection. In this conversation, we explore the power of community-building, the challenges and opportunities of living between cultures, and what it takes to create visibility and belonging through music, entrepreneurship, and impact-driven creative work. ************************************************ Sign up to our newsletter: https://tejals-newsletter-6ee8e5.beehiiv.com/ ⁠Instagram:⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/rootsandresiliencepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MW11NG40ZmZkdnRqdw==) @Rootsandresiliencepodcast Email: rootsandresiliencepodcast@gmail.com (mailto:rootsandresiliencepodcast@gmail.com) ************************************************ Subscribe and Comment: Loved this episode?
