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.
When did you last really notice?
I went out looking for mushrooms.
That’s it. Nothing fancy.
And somehow, it turned into one of the happiest days I’ve had in a long time.
This episode is about rediscovering childlike joy — the kind that hides in small things when we finally slow down enough to notice.
If you’ve been rushing lately, this one’s for you.
🎙️ This Made Me Pause is written and hosted by Prerna Goel – fintech leader, artist, and avid hiker.
