Sameer Wankhede discusses drug addiction among teenagers, warning signs, peer pressure, parenting gaps, social media influence, youth safety and what parents should do when they suspect a child may be exposed to drugs.
Mom guilt. ADHD. Teen silence. Marriages running on autopilot. Psychologist Reena Chopra sits down with therapists, doctors, and real parents to talk about what parenting actually feels like and what actually helps. No lectures. No judgement. Just honest, expert-backed conversations.
Dr. Ankit Daral × Reena Chopra, the episode every parent of a “hyper” child should hear first.
“He can’t sit still.” “She never listens.” “The school keeps complaining.” If these sentences live in your home, this episode will change how you see your child.
Psychiatrist Dr. Ankit Daral joins Reena to separate ADHD myths from facts like how ADHD is actually evaluated, why early signs show up before age 5, whether diet alone can fix it, and what your child is really telling you when they “act out.”

“I found the workshop very informative and helpful. The session provided valuable insights into understanding the behavior of hyperactive children and the importance of patience, empathy, and positive guidance while dealing with them. I learned that instead of seeing hyperactivity only as a challenge, it is important to recognize the child’s energy and curiosity and help channel it into productive and engaging activities. The workshop also highlighted the importance of setting clear routines, giving positive reinforcement, and maintaining calm communication with the child.”

“I am Gowthami, currently lives in Ireland. It was a great one to one session from Reena Mam today. I came to know about her on instagram. My Son, who is 4 years old. My son was born in India, last year he came to Ireland. He has congenital hyperthyroidism, besides that when he was 3 year old, my husband suspected that he has hyperactivity symptoms, but we were not sure. Currently, he goes to crèche, in Ireland, where his teacher found that, he does have hyperactivity symptoms. We are looking forward to have more sessions further with Mam. She explained clearly the significance and how to work on my son’s condition.”

Hi Reena, joining this community of moms has been an incredible opportunity for me. It’s where I’ve discovered my true self and recognized my worth. Through this journey, I’ve learned about modern parenting, self-love, self-care, grooming, how to handle tantrums, and manage anger. Every session brought something new, and Reena always chooses topics that are incredibly relatable to our everyday lives.It’s not just about attending the class but also about applying the learnings to make them meaningful. If we don’t practice what we learn, it won’t benefit us. Reena motivates us to actively follow through with the tasks, which has been truly helpful in my parenting journey. I’m so glad I made the decision to join this program . Thank you, Reena Chopra, Founder of Saarholisticwellness, for all your support and guidance!

Knowing this feels like uncovering the secret manual to my own mind—clear, sharp, and empowering. It’s as if someone handed me a map out of the maze of endless scrolling.Gratitude flows, because wisdom like this feels lighter than freedom itself. ✨

I just had the privilege of taping a podcast with Reena, and what an extraordinary hour it turned out to be. The most thoughtful questions were asked — gently, humbly, and with an authenticity that disarmed me. There was no agenda, no expectation — only a quiet confidence in humanity and the power of honest conversation.Reena created a space where I felt safe enough to answer with honesty, integrity, and vulnerability. In doing so, I hoped that my words might serve as a mirror — reflecting a truth that belongs to all of us. Because isn’t that what we all long for? To feel seen, understood, and as “normal” as the other we often place on pedestals?When we recognize that those we admire — the celebrated, the confident, the seemingly unshakable — are just as human, fragile, and tender as we are, something within us softens. Reena has that rare gift: she invites truth without intrusion and brings humility to the forefront of dialogue.Through SAR Holistic Wellness, Reena Chopra and her team are doing something vital — creating spaces for mental health awareness, mindful parenting, and compassionate reflection in a world that rarely pauses to breathe. Reena’s podcast is not just an interview; it is an act of care, a gentle reminder to slow down, listen, and reconnect with our shared humanity.I’m grateful to have been part of it and hope listeners find in our conversation a moment of stillness — a mirror in which they see themselves, whole and human.Suvir Saran

I’m Rashmi from Bangalore, a stay-at-home mother to a 3-year-old boy. I recently signed up for the Parenting Coach program with Reena, mainly to understand how I can better manage my emotions when it comes to my child.The program spans 10 sessions and is conducted in small class sizes, allowing for open discussion and personal connection. Reena, a psychologist and mother of two, brings both her professional expertise and lived experience to each session, making every topic deeply relatable.Throughout the program, we explored various aspects of parenting — from encouraging independence in toddlers to handling teenagers — and each class offered meaningful takeaways. My biggest realization was that effective parenting begins with working on myself and my emotions.The activities we did encouraged self-reflection on things I might not have thought about otherwise, like what truly makes me happy as an individual. Listening to other mothers share similar feelings made me feel seen, heard, and less alone in my journey.What stood out most for me was the validation I received from Reena and the group. Whenever I shared a concern, Reena patiently helped me uncover its root cause and offered reassurance that helped shift my perspective.I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to any mother who wants to better understand herself and, in turn, parent her child more mindfully. And for those considering a deeper coaching journey, Reena is truly exceptional at guiding you through it.

The content was beautifully structured, easy to understand, and directly connected with real-life parenting challenges. Every session added value and made complete sense from a parent’s perspective.This wasn’t just theory — we were given practical tools, homework, and real scenarios to work on. I could implement everything in my own life and saw clear results.I learned how to face and overcome my own parenting challenges. The sessions helped me grow emotionally, and now I feel stronger, more confident, and more aware as a parent.Reena ma’am’s way of teaching is so engaging, empathetic, and insightful. She kept us involved throughout, allowing space for sharing, questioning, and learning deeply.The group was warm, non-judgmental, and very supportive. I felt truly safe to express myself and learn from others’ experiences as well.Every session was worth it — rich in content and time well-spent. The course was affordable considering the depth and transformation it offered.I’m 100% satisfied and would highly recommend Saar Holistic Academy and Reena Chopra ma’am to anyone who wants to grow personally and professionally as a Parenting Coach.Because of this course, I now dream of helping other parents and becoming a confident parenting coach myself.*Thank you, Reena ma’am, for this beautiful journey!*
