The “back to the office” wave is here—and for millions who rebuilt their lives around working from home, that’s a massive change. In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist Sim (Simranjit) Chhabra (Horizon Within) to unpack the real mental & practical challenges of Return-to-Office (RTO): lost commute hours, disrupted routines, pressure to “just adapt,” and why companies often miss the human math behind productivity.

We dig into:

• The change spectrum: where you sit (from “drag me by the nails” to “bring on the change”) and why it matters

• Turning non-negotiables (like commuting) into meaningful time—podcasts, audiobooks, mindful check-ins

• How leaders can design with humans in mind (asynchronous work, measure output not chairs)

• The pendulum effect of policy shifts and how to find your middle ground

• Practical steps to protect your time, energy, and sanity as RTO ramps up

If you’re anxious about going back—or leading a team through it—this conversation is your field guide.

Nepal is in flames—streets filled with outrage, Parliament stormed, and the nation’s leaders fleeing under military escort. What began as a government shutdown of 26 social media platforms has ignited into a full-scale uprising, led by a fearless Gen Z generation demanding an end to corruption and inequality.

In this urgent TPL Media update, hosts Jim Lang and Mike Wixon connect live to Kathmandu with correspondent Roshan Ghimire, who recounts the chaos on the ground: Supreme Court documents in ashes, ministers’ homes firebombed, students gunned down, and an entire political system collapsing in days. With the Prime Minister and cabinet resigned, the army in control of security, and revolutionary youth calling for justice, Nepal stands at a crossroads that could reshape its future forever.

This is not just Nepal’s story—it is a warning and an awakening for the world. From youth unemployment to corruption, from the digital battleground of social media to the raw fight for freedom, this generational revolt may set the stage for global echoes of resistance.

TPL Media brings you the voices, the urgency, and the truth as history unfolds in real time.

Guests: Jerry & Jason — Vote16 advocates (Twin Talk Politics)

Question of the day: Would letting 16-year-olds vote increase accountability and civic engagement—or just lower the bar?
