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 knowing that exists beneath everything you've been taught to be. Its whispers guide you home to what is most true in you, and most alive. Honoring this calling is the work of your life. For it leads you to the adventure you are meant to live.

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. innercalling is where I host conversations with artists, clinicians, scientists, leaders, and everyday people to share how they navigate darkness, discover what is extraordinary within themselves, and find their way back to their inner light. Together we grapple with timeless questions relating to meaning, purpose, and mortality and ask: 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 space where life moves a little slower, and you’re invited to rest and be yourself, with nothing to accomplish, optimize, or prove. A space where you can just be yourself and be human together.

Here, we slow down and make space for nuance. We tell stories. We listen and talk openheartedly as we walk each other home.
