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.
This Made Me Pause.
What can change in five days?
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 and quiet evenings, these mini-seasons remind us that renewal doesn’t have to wait for the big milestones. A new beginning can start every five days — if we choose to notice it.
What would you call your last five days?
🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and hiker in progress.
