The SVee Show: HERstory in the making

Climbing Mountains & Breaking Barriers: The Bohemian Adventurers’ Story

On this episode of The SVee Show, I had a one-of-a-kind conversation with not one, but three amazing women—Anusha Subramanian, Sashi Bahuguna, and Guneet Puri. They’re the founders of Bohemian Adventures, a group that's making mountain adventures fun, safe, and inclusive for everyone.
Their story started with a shared love for mountaineering back in 2009. After volunteering during the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, they were inspired to do more and in 2014, Bohemian Adventures was born.
Since then, they’ve led treks for people with disabilities, kept safety front and center, and created opportunities for women in mountaineering through training and internships. Their journey is full of heart, courage, and breaking boundaries.

It was an absolute joy having them on the show—don’t miss this episode!

Breaking the Silence on Mental Health & Suicide: Lisa's Story

In this episode, I had the absolute honor of talking with Lisa Sugarman, an author, columnist, and fierce mental health advocate. She’s also a crisis counselor with The Trevor Project and a storyteller with NAMI, helping to break the stigma around mental health and suicide.
Lisa’s story truly moved me. When she was just 10 years old, she lost her dad and was told he had died of a heart attack. But years later, she learned the truth that he had died by suicide. That moment changed everything for her. Instead of hiding from it, she chose to share her story and help others do the same.
Talking to Lisa opened my eyes to how important it is to have honest conversations about mental health, especially with family. She reminded me that silence fuels shame, but speaking up creates healing. Her courage, wisdom, and heart made this episode one of the most powerful ones yet.
