Laughter, Learning & Little Truths: A Sunday Talk with Devyan- E55

What happens when you give an eight-year-old the mic? You get honesty, humor, and a refreshing look at learning, life, and siblings with golden toilets. 😄

In this episode of OATS UNCUT!, Host and Communication Coach Vineeta Khanna sits down for an unscripted, unfiltered conversation with one of Orator Academy’s youngest students — Devyan. From Sunday morning sessions to spelling bees and Taekwondo woes, this episode captures the honest chaos and quiet wisdom that young minds carry.

It all began with a parent’s quiet confidence. A belief that even the youngest can benefit from learning how to express themselves — clearly, calmly, and confidently. What followed is a journey that shows us:

- How young children can learn to speak with presence and poise

- Why “talking just for fun” is often where the real learning happens

- What it means to prepare before you speak — even if you're 8

- Why homework might not be as “important” as we think (Devyan has thoughts!)

- And how siblings, spelling, Spanish, and storytelling all play a part in shaping communicators

As you listen to this light-hearted, smart, and sometimes hilariously candid exchange, you’ll realize that age has little to do with how much someone can express — or teach us.

This episode also features a glimpse of Devyan’s performance from the OATS UNCUT Live event — a moment that showed just how powerful preparation and support can be, even when the speaker is pint-sized.

At OATS UNCUT!, we believe communication is not a skill reserved for the grown-ups. It's a bridge — one that helps even the smallest voices find space, be heard, and express themselves fully. Every episode is a celebration of that — of learning through laughter, real talk, and shared moments.
