Über diesen Titel

Hosted by Ira Khan, the show invites you to slow down and get curious about the complexities of mental health and mental illness — not just as clinical terms, but as real parts of real life.

In a world flooded with advice, opinions, and endless content, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and walk away with more confusion than clarity. This podcast is a counter-space. A space for asking instead of assuming. For listening instead of scrolling. For wondering why we think, feel, and behave the way we do.

Joined by psychologists, artists, caregivers, people with lived experience, and fellow question-askers, Ira explores the many layers of the human experience — from how we cope and connect to how we break and rebuild.

Each episode offers a space to go deeper — whether it’s through experiences, stories, science, or shared vulnerability. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just room to explore the questions that matter.

Because maybe the most powerful thing we can do — is stay curious.

  • The Curious Case of… Putting The Kids First
    Feb 22 2026

    Ira talks to her guest about navigating divorce while raising young children — making the decision to separate, holding personal pain, and still creating stability for the kids. They reflect on the added responsibility of parenting, and the effort it takes to set aside feelings about a partner so children can continue to see their father simply as their father, while constantly trying to understand what they need and how best to show up for them.

    It’s a conversation about care, resilience, and finding steadiness in the midst of change.

    Because even life’s hardest transitions call for curiosity.

  • The Curious Case of… Living on Hope ft. Amrit Bakhshy
    Feb 8 2026

    What does it mean to show up for someone you love when the path ahead is turbulent and unclear?

    In this episode, Ira talks to Amrit Bakshy about his journey as a father to a daughter living with Schizophrenia. He reflects on the early days — when information was scarce, fear was high, and every decision was consequential and how all those experiences slowly reshaped his life, his priorities, and his own understanding.

    Over time, his personal journey grew: doing his best to support his own child, helping other families walking similar paths. It’s a conversation about learning as you go and what it can look like to care deeply in the face of uncertainty.

    Because even in uncertainty, curiosity means hope.

  • The Curious Case of… post-therapy Kenny ft. Kenny Sebastian
    Jan 25 2026

    What makes someone start therapy?

    And what actually changes when you stay with it?

    In this episode, Ira talks to Kenny Sebastian about his personal journey with therapy — what got him started, how he navigated the taboo in the early days, and how therapy helped him understand himself more clearly.

    It’s a conversation rooted in lived experience. Through Kenny’s candour and humour, it helps set expectations around what therapy can offer, and just as importantly, what it can’t.

    Because understanding ourselves is a journey, and it unfolds when we approach it with curiosity.
