In the debut episode of Unlayering, we kick things off with none other than Mannan Dattah, the powerhouse behind India’s largest chain of martial arts academies. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride as he drops some serious truth bombs on what it means to be raw, real, and unapologetically yourself! Mannan talks about how people often lose their true essence in the quest to please others and how finding your own rhythm in life starts by embracing both the highs and the lows.

This episode isn’t all serious though—Mannan takes us through his personal battles with social anxiety, childhood trauma, and even drug addiction, and how facing those dark moments actually led him to his biggest breakthroughs. His take? There’s no light without darkness, and real power lies in taking control of your life, stepping up, and making choices that bring you joy.

If you’re feeling stuck, this episode is packed with inspiration on shifting your vibe—leaving behind what weighs you down and moving toward what lights you up. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s all about unlocking your inner strength by daring to be completely you. Dive in and start unlayering!
