Inside the Mind of a Coach: Ava’s Unfiltered Interview with Vineeta Khanna - E45

What happens when your student picks up the mic... and turns the questions on you?

This week on OATS UNCUT!, we’re doing something different and special. Ava, one of our young learners, takes the lead as she interviews her own coach and the host of this podcast, Vineeta Khanna.

What unfolds is not just an episode — it’s a genuine conversation. One that explores the heart of communication coaching, the challenge of making soft skills a priority, and how we’re slowly forgetting how to simply talk to one another in a world ruled by screens and swipes.

Ava doesn’t hold back. She asks:

💬What’s the hardest part of being a communication coach?

💬Why do people still treat public speaking as optional?

💬Has technology made us forget how to connect with each other face-to-face?

Ava brings her curiosity, Vineeta responds with stories, candor, and warmth — from her own childhood struggles to the unexpected joy of being called out (lovingly) by a young student about her hair. It’s all in here — honest moments, shared laughs, and some quiet truths that many of us will relate to.

At OATS UNCUT!, we believe that communication isn’t just about how we speak — it’s about who we are when we’re heard. And that belief comes alive in this episode through a simple, yet powerful exchange between a curious student and a reflective coach.

🎧 Tune in to hear what happens when roles reverse and real stories take center stage.

This one’s from the heart.
