This Episode Will Make You Rethink What Love Actually Is | Abhash Jha

This episode of The Journey Within Podcast by Shobha Rana brings a heartfelt and honest conversation with poet and singer Abash Jha, diving deep into how our generation experiences love, heartbreak, and healing.

The discussion moves through real stories of first love, betrayal, being cheated on by a best friend, ghosting, dating apps, and the confusion of modern situationships. Abash Jha opens up about why commitment feels scary today, why so many people feel lonely even in relationships, and how men struggle to express emotions while silently carrying a lot of pain.

There is a vulnerable reflection on fathers, masculinity, emotional weakness, using the gym as therapy, and learning to cry in a healthy way. Throughout the podcast, Abash Jha shares the journey behind his poetry and music, and performs pieces like “Mujhe Samajhna Mushkil Hai” that capture the complexity of loving in today’s world.

If you’ve ever been ghosted, confused by mixed signals, stuck on someone you can’t forget, or trying to understand your own patterns in love, this conversation will feel deeply relatable. The tone is honest, warm, and reflective, exactly the kind of space The Journey Within Podcast by Shobha Rana aims to create.

Stay till the end to experience Abash Jha’s live poetry performance that stays with you long after the episode finishes.
