Unstoppable Woman with Shailja Saraswati

This episode isn’t about success. It’s about surrender. Cancer diagnosis forced Arunima Dey to stop — not just physically, but emotionally. To pause the speed. To question the identity she had built around movement, ambition, and mastery. What followed wasn’t a comeback story. It was a reckoning. With her body. With grief. With the quiet fear of letting go of what once defined her. In this episode, we talk about choosing presence over pushing, listening instead of rushing, and how real strength is often born in stillness — not applause. This isn’t a story of overcoming. It’s a story of allowing. Of becoming.

The new season expands the lens to explore the unstoppable spirit that exists beyond gender, titles, and public achievement. Adopting a gender-agnostic approach, Season 4 focuses less on what people have accomplished and more on who they become in the process—centering on inner mastery and enablement, through uncovering what it takes to stay resilience for transformation Perhaps this season also marks the beginning of what comes next from the host of the show - Shailja Saraswati  Stay tuned
