Harsha’s life is a testament to transformation — from a shy Mumbai schoolgirl to a teacher, yogi, healer, and Ironman finisher.

She started her journey early, teaching science and maths while still in college. But years of long corporate hours and incorrect gym training left her with severe back and neck pain — until yoga changed the direction of her life.

Through yoga, pranic healing, and sound therapy, Harsha not only healed herself but stepped into her purpose. Today, she helps women through fertility challenges, leads transformational retreats, and is the force behind Kolkata’s iconic YogaThon event.

At 39, she didn’t know how to swim or cycle. By 40, she crossed the finish line at Ironman 70.3 Goa — proving that age doesn’t define strength, intention does.

In this episode of The Intentionality Podcast, Harsha talks about: • Her early struggles — and the teacher who transformed her path • Finding yoga, energy healing, and purpose through pain • Training herself for Ironman 70.3 Goa from scratch • The mindset shifts that helped her rebuild her life • Practical advice on healing, discipline, and personal growth

From 120kg to Running Half Marathons — Twice. Vipin’s journey is not a straight line. It’s a story of discipline, setbacks, comebacks — and helping others find their way through it all. Once a university lecturer who couldn’t bend down to tie his shoelaces,

Vipin transformed his life through strength training, nutrition, and eventually running. He lost 35kg, gained it back during the pandemic, and lost it again — but this time, with deeper understanding and purpose.

Today, he’s a certified fitness coach who helps working professionals and parents lose fat without giving up rice, festivals, or life itself.

In this conversation, Vipin opens up about: -

Losing weight twice without shortcuts

-What “slim fat” really means — and why it’s dangerous

-Eating South Indian meals and still losing fat

-Coaching real people, not just gym rats

-Running four half marathons in four Sundays

-His unexpected journey from classroom to cardio 🎙️ If you’ve ever felt “too late” to start, this episode is for you. Subscribe for more inspiring stories of endurance, purpose, and transformation.

What do you do when the world tells you you’re not enough?

As a 10-year-old boy, Dr. Gladson Johnson was forced to migrate from Bahrain to a small village in South India due to the Gulf War. He didn’t know the language. He wore shoes while the other kids ran barefoot. He was mocked, excluded, and slowly slipped into anxiety and asthma. But this isn’t a story about staying broken. It’s a story about rising barefoot.

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformational journey of Dr. Gladson Johnson:

🏃‍♂️ From bullied child to barefoot ultra-runner

🥋 From physical weakness to Kyokushin karate black belt

💡 From fear of movement to a Doctor of Physiotherapy

❤️ From personal healing to helping 600+ HIV-infected children become strong

He’s run 25 marathons (24 barefoot), 3 ultra-marathons up to 110 km, and triathlons — and he’s the founder of Fitmasters, a global fitness movement spanning 5 continents.

You’ll hear stories of:

• Overcoming childhood trauma through martial arts
• Using exercise as a tool for social empowerment
• Coaching HIV-infected children to run 10Ks in 35 minutes
• Building a community-based race called TROT
• Living by “Role Modelism” — the principle of becoming the example

Who is this podcast for?

• Runners and endurance athletes
• Strength coaches and physiotherapists
• Anyone recovering from physical or emotional trauma
• Parents, educators, and mentors
• People seeking real, rooted inspiration — not perfection

From homemaker to marathoner. From doubt to podiums. From surviving… to thriving. And now a certified wellness coach, Sapna teaches women what she had to learn the hard way: Wellness isn’t a luxury. It’s your right ⚡️

For years, she put everyone else first. As a daughter, wife, and mother, she filled every role except the one that mattered most: Herself.

She tried to fit the mold, lost weight to feel accepted, shrank herself to be loved. But somewhere along the way, she lost her vitality, her confidence, and her joy.

Until one day, she walked into a gym!

For Sapna the gym wasn’t just a place, it was a confrontation. But beneath the hesitation, there was resolve. What started as tears and hesitation became a powerful comeback story.

Who Should Listen?

→ Women who are rediscovering themselves after motherhood or marriage

→ Homemakers, caregivers, or anyone who’s felt invisible or stuck

→ Aspiring runners or wellness seekers looking for motivation to begin their own journey

Watch now and remind yourself, it's never too late to choose yourself!
