Description
Hi there, I’m Dr. Victoria Ranade. I’m a clinical psychologist, but mostly I’m a person who followed an inner calling to discover my love for dogs, including my Welsh Terrier Mei Mei. Welcome to INNERCALLING, my little, old fashioned corner of the internet where human connection still matters and there's nothing to prove. Every week, I sit down with leading scientists, psychologists, authors, and spiritual teachers to explore consciousness, resilience, and the timeless questions shaping a meaningful life—from what it means to survive depression and be human in the age of AI, to how we bridge science and the spiritual. Grounded in transpersonal and existential psychology, these organic conversations honor the inner light inside each of us that no darkness can ever overcome.
