Walking for Mental Health: Bhupinder Sandhu on Mindfulness, Movement & Mental Resilience

In this powerful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya speaks with Bhupinder Sandhu, a corporate mindfulness coach and mental health advocate who has walked over 1,000 miles across the UK to raise awareness for mental well-being. Bhupinder shares how a personal mental health crisis inspired his first walk from London to Scotland and how each step brought him deeper into his own healing. From guiding 5,000+ individuals during the pandemic to challenging societal norms around success and productivity, this conversation explores the power of presence, resilience, and humanizing mental health.
