About this listen

Story-led reflections and conversations for leaders in transition, those navigating the space between what used to make sense and what comes next.

Welcome to What Was What Next with me, Heena Thaker.

This is a podcast for leaders, business leads, founders, and clinicians navigating the space between chapters. Transitions of all sorts.

In each episode, you’ll hear story-rich reflections, grounded insights, and the kind of conversation that meets you right where you are, before clarity, before the next thing lands.

You are not stuck. You are Evolving.

  • Loneliness in Leadership

    Loneliness in Leadership
    Jun 27 2025

    There’s a kind of loneliness that arrives not in failure, but in success. When the life you built no longer feels like your own. In this episode, Heena explores the quiet isolation leaders face when they choose not to keep pushing, not to fake the fire, and not to rush toward a next thing they can’t yet name. If you’ve ever wondered, “Who do I talk to when I can’t talk to anyone?”, this is for you.

    Real talk for the season in-between. No fluff. Just truth.

  • When the fire fades-Recognising the turning point

    When the fire fades-Recognising the turning point
    Jun 25 2025

    What happens when the fire that once drove you… dims?

    This first episode speaks to that, disorienting space that so many leaders and founders find themselves in. The space after striving, after achieving, when the old fuel runs out and the next spark hasn’t yet arrived.

    Heena shares a gentle, story-led reflection for those who’ve built, carried weight, and stayed the course, only to wake up one day wondering, Is this it? Or, What now?

    If you’re in a season that makes no sense, you’re not broken. You’re in transition. You are evolving.
