This Made Me Pause.
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.

What does it really mean to show up?
We often say I’m here for you — but are we really showing up in ways that help, or just in ways that suit us? In this episode, I explore what real support looks like: lowering the effort for the other person, asking instead of assuming...
