Staying connected with our loved ones is not always easy, especially if, like Jai Punjabi, you live far away from home. As a founder of Wait What, the company behind Meditative Story, Jai’s work in New York means his once-a-year visit to the family home in Bombay, India, is precious time. Made even more so by the food he eats when he’s there with his family. But what makes the dishes so delicious? Join Rohan and Jai as they unpack the ways in which the spirit of culinary improvisation, and putting trust in the process, can translate from the kitchen to the rest of our lives.
Each episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts. Read the transcript for this story: meditativestory.com

0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Rohan. Have you ever felt stuck? Like you'd really like to make a change in your career |
0:05.8 | or your personal life, but you just couldn't move. Most of us feel stuck at one point or another. |
0:11.6 | And here's the interesting part. We actually already have the ability to get on stuck. |
0:16.4 | So why don't we do it? Our coaching partner better up, suggest that because we fear change, |
0:22.4 | we talk ourselves out of it. Maybe even overthink or overcomplicate the steps we need to take |
0:28.0 | to keep ourselves from taking action. Our internal antibodies to change, that is to say fear, |
0:33.7 | takes over. As a quick reminder, we're collaborating with Better Up by using meditative story |
0:39.3 | and the episode themes to coach you through challenges like getting stuck. If you're feeling stuck, |
0:45.0 | Better Up can help because here's what their coaches know. We like to think of ourselves as |
0:49.9 | rational beings, but what really motivates us is positively charged emotions that act as feedback |
0:56.3 | loops when we need to act. After today's meditative story, I'll share a brief exercise from Better |
1:02.1 | Up to kickstart the change you'd like to make in your life. This is Soul Curriculum, |

1:53.4 | is a precious time, made even more so by the food he eats when he's there with his family. |
2:00.8 | But what makes the dish so delicious? Is it the ingredients or the process of making each course? |
