ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Every Indian parent knows the feeling, your doctor says no sugar, your relatives say they turned out fine, and school homework is somehow on an iPad. Modern parenting is noisy, contradictory, and exhausting. The Parenting Pause exists to cut through that noise.
Hosted by Naina, a working mother and finance consultant, this podcast brings together experts across mental health, nutrition, education, sports, and Ayurveda, for real conversations that help urban Indian parents pause, breathe, and navigate it together.

Meet Naina. 👋A finance consultant at the World Bank. Mother of two Gen Alpha kids. And now, the host of The Parenting Pause. By day, Naina helps companies navigate financial decisions. At home, she’s navigating something far more unpredictable: raising children in an age of screens, social media, AI, and information overload.
Like many parents today, she’s constantly learning, questioning, adapting, and figuring things out along the way. Because parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and every stage brings a new set of questions.
The Parenting Pause was born from those conversations. The ones parents have with themselves, with experts, and with each other as they try to make sense of modern parenting.
If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, making the right choices, or simply trying your best while figuring it out as you go, you're in good company.
