If you’ve been following my journey, you know that Candid Confession With Chhavi has been a passion project for me. Getting industry leaders and mental health experts and doctors and veterans in their own fields to educate us about various things they know through their vast study and experience. I love it.
But lately, I’ve felt a pull toward something bigger.
I’ve realized that while their truth is powerful, it is only one piece of a much larger puzzle. As humans, we are often siloed in our experiences. The survivor thinks they are alone in their fear; the parent thinks s/he is alone in their guilt; the founder thinks they are alone in her ambition.
I’m tired of us sitting at separate tables. So, I decided to build a bigger one.
Coming Soon: Candid Confessions — The Raw Round Table
I am currently in the process of building a brand-new vertical for the podcast, and I wanted you—my core community—to be the first to know the heart behind it.
The Raw Round Table isn’t just a new show; it’s a new philosophy. Instead of a one-on-one conversation, I am bringing together multiple voices, different backgrounds, and conflicting perspectives to sit across from one another on the same topic.
Why? Because the truth isn’t a straight line. It’s a circle.
Why a “Round Table”?
In my life as an actor and a creator, I’ve learned that the best scenes happen when there is friction and chemistry. In my life as an activist and survivor, I’ve learned that healing happens when we see our reflection in someone else’s story.

At the Raw Round Table, we won’t be looking for “polite” agreement. We are looking for the raw, unpolished reality of what it means to be a human today. Imagine:
- A survivor and a caregiver discussing the weight of "being brave."
- A corporate leader and a stay-at-home mother deconstructing the "guilt" trap.
- Pioneers from different industries sharing the scars they earned while breaking glass ceilings.
What This Means for You
Right now, we are in the “building” phase—the messy, exciting, behind-the-scenes work where we are curating guests, finalizing themes, and ensuring that when we go live, it’s as impactful as it is honest.
I am building this because I believe we are stronger when we stop whispering in corners and start speaking across the table. I want to move away from “instructional” content and move toward communal storytelling.
A Sneak Peek Behind the Scenes
As I navigate this new chapter, I’m bringing everything I’ve learned from Superb Ideas Trending and motherhood, and my own various journeys into this space. It’s more than just a podcast; it’s about creating a movement where no one feels they have to “edit” their life to be heard.
We are currently setting the stage, lighting the fire, and pulling out the chairs.
I want to know: If you could sit at the Raw Round Table, what is the one topic you are tired of hearing the “polite” version of? What is the one conversation you’re dying to have without the filters?
I’m building this for us. And I can’t wait to invite you to take your seat.
Stay tuned. Stay Candid.
