Unthinking Space (formerly Design Feeling) is a podcast for people who feel stuck on autopilot and know there’s more to life, work and creativity than following inherited scripts.
Hosted by Nirish Shakya - designer, educator and coach - the show explores self-awareness, creative courage and meaning through honest conversations, reflections and experiments.
Each episode creates space to calm the noise of your mind so you can follow the whispers of your soul. We explore philosophies, mindsets and practical frameworks to unlearn conditioning, question familiar narratives and reconnect with your inner compass, so you can trust yourself to act with courage on what truly matters.
You’ll hear:
This is not about optimisation, hustle or becoming someone new.
It’s about unthinking who you were taught to be and becoming who you already are.
