Uncovering the conversations that shape identity.

Many of the most important conversations in society remain hidden - pushed aside because they are uncomfortable, controversial, or difficult to address. 

The Under the Rug Podcast was created to bring those conversations into the light.

Hosted by Nalini Tranquim, this podcast explores complex and often sensitive topics through the lens of faith, truth, and human dignity.

Topics We Explore

Our conversations explore the deeper issues shaping identity, faith, and well-being, including

• Emotional healing and trauma recovery
• Narcissistic and psychological abuse
• Cultural issues and social pressures shaping identity
• Faith and mental well-being
• Leadership, resilience, and spiritual authority
• Societal challenges impacting families and young people
• Christian discipleship and identity formation

Alongside podcast episodes, this resource library includes written reflections and insights designed to equip readers and listeners with practical tools for navigating life's most difficult realities.

Our aim is not simply to discuss hard topics, but to provide clarity, hope, and pathways toward healing and identity restoration.

You can explore the library by topic or season to quickly find conversations relevant to your personal journey or leadership role.
