Bullying, Burnout & the Inner Critic | Boarding School | AEM #140 Kalyani Pardeshi

In this episode, I sit down with Kalyani Pardeshi, award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and anti-bullying advocate. Kalyani draws from her own boarding school experiences and her years of work with children, adults, and organisations to explain why traditional anti-bullying strategies often fail — and how the unconscious brain holds the key to real change.

We explore the painful reality of bullying, the long-term effects of self-bullying and overachievement, and how these patterns often lead to burnout. Kalyani also shares her framework for identifying intangible drivers — the unique motivators that help us live with greater fulfilment and emotional resilience.

This is an episode full of honesty, practical tools, and hope for those looking to break free from old wounds and the inner critic.
