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.
