The Daily 5 with Aurooba
A daily 5 minute podcast looking inwards.

Show overview
The Daily 5 with Aurooba has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 200 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 5 min and 5 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Business show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2024, with 100 episodes published. Published by Aurooba Ahmed.

A small reflection, what I learned, and a thank you.
S2 Ep 99On emotional perseverance
Some thoughts on processing feelings and emotions healthily.
S2 Ep 98Decisions that default to no.
3 takes before I decided the episode was good enough. Also I pivoted between those 3 episodes dramatically. So that's a little meta decision making for ya.
S2 Ep 97Add or remove for growth
I was pruning my plants a little today and giving them fertilizer and it got me thinking about why we do that and how that applies to other parts of our lives.
S2 Ep 96One really great thing, maybe two.
If you want to do great things, you have to accept it'll just be a few.
S2 Ep 95Default to kindness
The second part of the last episode. The missing piece of kindness.
S2 Ep 94You are responsible for your own success (and failure)
I prefer to be in the driver's seat of my life. Do you? I've written out the notes for this episodes like 5 times over the last 5 days, and I think.. I finally figured out how to say what I wanted to say.The Push/Pull article I was talking about: https://kellanem.com/notes/push-and-pull
S2 Ep 93We learn a lot by trying
An episode meant to be about experimentation that really did turn more meta, but still delivers the point.
S2 Ep 92The question to ponder more often than not.
I've spent my days recently thinking really really hard. Asking myself questions. So I thought I'd bring the one that most often comes to mind to the podcast more explicitly today.
S2 Ep 91Two Minute Hugs
Hugs are a kind of magic. Let's celebrate the power of hugs today.
S2 Ep 90What nourishes you?
I'll share what was nourishing for me today, in hopes that you go do something nourishing for yourself. :)
S2 Ep 89The vision isn’t set in stone
Our goals are aspirations not perfect pictures. They can't be, otherwise they wouldn't be goals, they'd just be things we do again.
S2 Ep 88Supporting Hooks
Sometimes I just sit and breathe as I observe and trace the pothos plant in my house with my eyes. So today's piece is inspired at least in part by the pothos I have. :)
S2 Ep 87What’s even more important than communication?
Do you sometimes wake up with questions that are burrowed in your mind and refuse to get out? That happens to me sometimes. And today's question has literally hounded me all day, I've evaluated and thought about it every waking minute, and it probably shaped at least half the conversations I had today.
S2 Ep 86Some musings about fate.
We all have some underlying beliefs about fate wired into us from childhood. And I found myself think and talking about that with some folks today.
S2 Ep 85On honesty
I'm back after being sick for a while! And today we're talking about honesty and how I interpret honesty.
S2 Ep 84Let's talk about burnout
This is a longer episode. And a pretty personal one.
S2 Ep 83On doing what needs doing; on leadership
Something about power, influence, doing what needs to be done, morphed into a pondering on leadership today.
S2 Ep 82Flux
On experiments in real life.
S2 Ep 81The day after
I missed an episode. Now what?
