Hi there — I’m Dr. Victoria Ranade and I believe there is a light inside you that no darkness can overcome. This light is a source of profound power, resilience, and beauty. The world may teach you to ignore it, but it’s still there, waiting.

I call it your innercalling: a compass and true north that exists deep within you. A natural wisdom guiding you home to the highest expression of who you are.

innercalling is a podcast and space where you learn hear it again, where you are invited to pause, reflect, and remember the truth of who you are beneath the noise of the world.

Inspired by my work as a clinical psychologist, each episode is a conversation that honors the human spirit and explores how we stay grounded in inner wisdom, creativity, purpose, and our shared humanity in rapidly changing times.

These conversations are humanistic and existential in nature. We explore how real people—artists, clinicians, scientists, leaders, and community members—hold onto their inner light through difficult seasons and discover something extraordinary within themselves. We also grapple with timeless questions: How do we find meaning and purpose in our lives? What connects us to each other and to something greater than ourselves? How do we face mortality? What does it really mean to be human?

Above all, innercalling is an old-fashioned kind of place where human connection still matters. It’s a place where life moves a little slower, and you’re invited to rest and be yourself, with nothing to accomplish, optimize, or prove. A place where you can just be yourself and enjoy being human.

Here, we slow down and make space for nuance. We tell stories. We listen and talk openheartedly as we walk each other home and remember what we’ve always known deep within ourselves, all along.
