In this heartfelt and deeply insightful episode of Soulsome with Sarika, Dr. Sarika Bhalgat sits down with life coach and academician Dr. Meera Kulkarni for a conversation that touches every stage of life — from the early years of parenting to the quiet, often overlooked wisdom of growing old gracefully.

At the heart of this episode is a simple but profound idea — that the quality of every relationship in your life, with your children, your parents, your partner, and yourself, comes down to one thing: intentionality.

Dr. Meera speaks about:

• Quality time vs quantity time — and why both matter more than you think
• The four core emotions every child needs to learn to name and express
• Over-parenting, under-parenting, and finding the balance in between

Why westernisation is quietly eroding the values we want to pass on

• The role of emotional intelligence in raising children who are socially connected
• Generational respect — how to bridge the gap between parents, children, and grandchildren

This episode is not just about parenting or aging. It is about the thread that runs through all of it — the relationships we build, the values we pass on, and the legacy we leave behind.

Whether you are a young parent finding your footing, a child navigating your relationship with ageing parents, or someone preparing for the next chapter of your own life — this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

Because some of the most important things in life are not taught in classrooms. They are lived, felt, and passed down — one generation at a time.
