This Made Me Pause is a podcast about those quiet, unexpected moments that catch you off guard—at work, halfway up a mountain, or in the middle of a messy day. I’m Prerna Goel—fintech veteran, artist, and hiker. In each short episode, I share a true story or thought from my life as it’s unfolding. You won’t find five-step fixes here. Just real, in-the-moment reflections—honest, imperfect, and unfolding in real time. If you’ve been wondering what matters—or how to make space for something different—this might be your kind of pause.
PRERNA GOEL hosts This Made Me Pause., a society show with 18 episodes published.

Send us a text After listening to Dr. Rhonda Patrick talk longevity science, I found myself wondering — are we all becoming a bit too obsessed? We track, hack, and optimise, yet often miss the basics: sunlight, movement,
Send us a text I share a Japanese tradition of seventy-two microseasons — each just five days long — and how it inspired me to notice the small shifts in my own life. From fallen leaves and spider webs to restless energy

Send us a text I’ve been thinking about what happens when you stop softening the edges and start telling the truth — not to other people, but to yourself. It’s uncomfortable. It’s freeing. And it made me pause. 🎙️ This
Send us a text A women’s event. A soft-spoken panel. A woman at the back who asked for more than a seat at the front—and in doing so, made me rethink the whole setup. This is the moment that made me pause. Not just becau

Send us a text Some childhood memories fade. Others leave a mark so deep, they shape who we become — even when we don't realise it. In this episode, I share the one sentence I heard as a child that quietly rewired the wa
